My tulip tree is full of blossoms getting ready to open, but we were expecting heavy frost last night. We covered the tulip tree with a sheet. Wow did this ever upset Flo. She stood and barked and barked . . . . for a very long time at the strange intruder in her back yard. The other two barked for a minute and then must have decided that was a stupid thing to do. We brought her in . . . . she stood at the sliding glass door and barked. We finally had to close the curtain over the sliding glass door. Went out this morning to potty and the barking resumed. Good grief.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Nina – it has been almost three years ago that we got our first basset puppy and I found this list. We did not know at the time that bassets are not your typical dog. I have learned so much from this list over the years. Congratulations!</p>
