<div dir="ltr">Adm. JED reporting for duty, Pacific Basset Feet! Crew photo on its way. <div><br></div><div>My benighted houndservant is behind in my official correspondence. I shall take the Leftenant to task for that, and for insisting that I make an official appearance on this bloody hot Sunday at a Hounds Majestic adoption event hosted by the benevolent Golden Gate Basset Rescue.<div>
<br></div><div>I joined Hounds Majestic from other brigades (including a lovely lady basset of a certain age named Cokie who is seeking re-assignment. On their behalf, I voiced my displeasure at the heat. Quite often. Quite loudly. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I also barked orders for the benefit of all, as befits an Admiral. Quite often. Quite loudly. </div><div><br></div><div>Houndservant largely ignored me. Houndservant was actually heard to mutter "you could go back on the adoption list, loudmouth..." </div>
<div><br></div><div>Houndservant is on my short list for demotion to simple galley slave. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Leftenant did remind me that we have served together 1 year today (Leftenant calls it my "gotcha" date, whatever that means. Not HMS terminology.) </div>
<div><br></div><div>I suppose I shall have to continue to put up with Leftenant's deficiencies. Houndservant did share something called a "Sub" with me, plus plenty of cold water. </div><div><br></div><div>I wondered, did Leftenant procure the tasty snack from a heretofore unknown group of Submarine Bassets? </div>
<div><br></div><div>I was mighty glad the Houndservant finally returned me to regular duty at my command couch for a well-earned nap.</div><div><br></div><div>Adm. JED "Snatch" Basset</div><div>Sonoma Admiralty/Pacific Basset Feet</div>
<div>Hounds Majesty's Service, Golden Gate Basset Rescue</div><div>---</div><div>Leftenant here, writing while Adm. sleeps--Thanks to other Droolers for the good information on ONIONS (toxic quantity, not that Adm. is going to get another chance to snatch any); and blueberries. I was actually kind of kidding about the blueberries. I just liked the idea of blueberry-scented basset farts. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I have been Houndservant to Adm. 1 year TODAY. Hip Hip Hooray for the Admiral! Huzzah for the PBF! Huzzah for Drool!</div></div><div><br></div><div>Healing Naval Drool to all who suffer and are heavy-laden, hound and houndslave alike.</div>
