<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Dear Otter,<div><br></div><div>I sure hope you Mom and Dad have a long story to tell about you, because in the many years I have been getting the DD calendar, this is by far, my favorite photo EVER. Now, I have had a lot of basset puppies that I raised, but none, not ever, even came close to that adorable pose that you did.</div><div><br></div><div>Yes, my guys have done some cute things, but for some reason, this photo really "gets" me. And Again, Happy 9th Birthday Otter, I hope you had extra special treats on your plate.</div><div><br></div><div>Healing drool to all in need, and extra special Drool for Morse. Morse was always a friend to us, and I sure hope he is getting better and stronger. My 5 year old Pierre Jr. has liver issues, and it is a worry, but on the right medicine, miracles can happen. God Bless</div><div><br></div><div>Mom is stable and she is having a lot of clergy visits lately. She doesn't vocalize, but she sure does speak with her face expressions. </div><div><br></div><div>I am tired, but I am still caring, and I will do this, for the hounds and Mom.</div><div><br></div><div><div>Love, </div><div><br></div><div>Jackie and Pumpkin, (had a mini emergency but got over it before I even thought to post about it), Jellybean, Nigel, Colette, Little Nikki and Pierre Jr.</div></div><div><br></div><div>Wow, I am still not used to that list being shorter without Jean Paul and Max, ATB, love you guys still in my heart and soul.</div> </div></body>
