<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Heart felt ahroos go out to all of those whose
hounds have made that trip to the bridge. Take heart that they are once
again young, and healthy. May they live forever in the magic of your
memories. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Well the sun has finally come out here at ASTT HQ.
It has been so dark and dreary here for about 2 weeks and the hounds and me
where about to go into depression. So since the sun is out I think that the
boyz and I will go for a little walk in a little bit. Colt needs it, since I am
on the computer he has resorted to nosing around looking for trouble to get
into. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday
season and is now back into the swing of a new year. We had a good Christmas, a
little stressful with buying the farm in Indiana but it was nice to be with
family and friends. I hated not having the boyz with us though as they
stayed home and had the Aunties taking care of them...aka waiting on them hand
and foot. But we didn't take them because we knew we would be busy with the
closing and moving in at the farm. Plus we wanted to have a chance to make
it hound safe. Looking for any rat poison, or any other hazards that that
might get the boyz into trouble. I will start on military orders tomorrow,
which the boyz will not like...momma being gone for most of the day. But
it is only for a few months and it is extra cash to hopefully buy a new BUV as
the current one is getting up there in milage. Plus extra cash to help set up
the farm house for the boyz with fencing, a hound bath tub etc. </FONT></DIV>

those sick or injured hounds and humans.</FONT></DIV>
