<DIV>Ben has been real good lately, until today. Tomorrow we are having a
meeting of the Badgerland Basset Hound Club at our house and the wife is making
sloppy joes. So we go to the store and buy buns for the event. Now
wife says hang them on the laundry shoot so Ben will not get them, so she
does. We go to get ready for church, no more than a couple of minutes, and
we come down and the bag is on the floor and Ben is in the living room with
a package of buns, having a snack. We get to him and take the bag
away. He ate three of them, and damaged two more, leaving seven for the
guests. They are all basset owners, so I am sure they will understand and
certainly will not mind. One can not just let one's guard down. They wait
in patience.</DIV>
