<div>Hi Dale,</div><div>Ah, the memories...Yes, bassets do get belly button lint! My late great Clover was the queen of having trash in her belly button. We called them "snerds" Oh my goodness, the stuff I would find in there. Often it was grass clippings mixed up with hair and dirt, but sometime it was colored paper or lint or even once some tinsel. She had droopy teats in her old age (don't we all? Sometimes I am afraid to look at what might be stuck under or between my own, <snork>), and she would often roll over for a belly rub, snerd removal, booby inspection.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The term "Snerd" came from a guy who dated my sister. They had a friend with a little girl, and one day he was out shirtless and had lint in HIS belly button, which the little girl spotted and asked him about. He called it a snerd, told her it was alive, and they put it in a jar with holes punched in the lid. He had her convinced that she had to open the jar every day so the snerd could get fresh air and it would grow. He then occasionally added more lint to the snerd. I guess that they had her going for a few months with that. Anyway, just enjoy the snerds and count yourself blessed to have something funny to talk about with your friends.</div>
