<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Today was catch up on the drools day...wow I can't
believe how far I had gotten behind...and all of the sadness that I was having
to catch up on...so it is with a very heavy heart the Colt, Ruger and I send
out</FONT><FONT size=2 face=Arial> heart felt condolences to all whose beloved
fur kids have made their journey to the bridge...so many the last few
weeks. Debbie & Wayne, and the hounds heart healing drool to you;
Sister Daisy was such a huge personality here on the daily drool and she
will be missed by so many people. But I have a sneaking suspecion that she will
be recuited by Elder Clara to assist her and Bug at the gate. Love and drool to
everyone else too whose babies have made that journey. May they all live
forever in the magic of your memories. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>As for the question about best basset
weather...well the boyz like most hounds are fair weather hounds. Since we
live in the Florida panhandle they love the spring, fall and most of the winter,
when there is a crispness to the air, the humidity is low, sun is shining and
the temps are below 87, but not below freezing. There is a spring in their steps
and a puppy playfulness that emerges. This is the time of year that
they can go walk about the neighborhood and meet and greet all of their adouring
fans without threat of heat stroking. They hate late June/July and August
becuase it is so hot and humid, that even just going out of the ac for a quick
potty break makes their tongues hang down to their crooked little
knees. Even in the late evening and night time the heat....mostly the
humidity is just to much for the indoor, sucking up the air condition, couch
potatoes. But the spring/fall and most of winter is prime basset time
here...which is also prime terrorist squirrel activity, which we all know that
the Bad A** Basset Brothers are obscessed with the chase, capture and killing of
terrorist squirrels. I have lost count to how many squirrels they have
sent to met their makers. They aren't to keen on the ferel cats around here
either but luckily so far all the cats either stay out of the back yard or get
the heck out of dodge when they here the thundering herd of two coming their
way. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Love and drool to all!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Colt & Ruger who are waiting patiently to get
back outside to chase a squirrel.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Ruger "patients my butt....now get off that
computer and open this blasted door so I can kill a terrorist!"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Colt "Shouldn't we wait an hour after dinner before
chasing terrorist squirrels?"</FONT></DIV>
