<div><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent"></FONT>Years ago, and today it feels like a million years ago, when we got our first basset Charles, I bought a book on bassets, something like all you need to know on bassets--I planned on being informed!!!!</div>
<div>Charles got the book before I did, He ripped it to shreds, nothing left but chunks of paper, bits of binding. I swear he had a gleem in his eyes. </div>
<div>This should of gave me some insight, really it should, as he then moved on to chewing and destroying anything in his path. I was his 3rd owner in 8 months time.</div>
<div>He ate his way out of house and home with the prior 2 owners---</div>
<div>Charles himself was my basset manual. He taught me to hold on by the seat of my pants as he taught me the ways of a basset----there is no book to describe some of them!</div>
