Whatever ...</div><div><br></div><div>Well, I am now settled in here, I think. Later da new mum is taking me to get de-stitched, so then I'll be all brand new! It's taken a while to get used to this place. Before, I had a garden and c@ts to play with. I like cats but the ones here don't like me <sigh> I keep trying to play with all the dogs in the woods, when we go every morning, but they won't play with me! No fun grrrrrrrrrr!</div><div><br></div><div>I must be making progress because da new mum lets me off the leash now, in the woods, and so far I have behaved really well. I do have a slight hearing problem, but no worries, I am a basset, after all! Food's good here, but there's not enough of it. I try to help myself - to save da NM getting up but she doesn't seem to appreciate my efforts <sigh></div><div><br></div><div>Polly's OK but she's not much fun, she doesn't play and she's always out of breath. She has one very big advantage - she rarely finishes her bowl :) So, I have found a way to make myself useful - I clean her bowl (and her cage - she's a rather messy eater). So, I think they are all very happy that I am here.</div><div><br></div><div>Oh yes, a couple of things they need to get used to - I DROOL (copiously) and I bark !!!! Apparently Polly, Penny and Misty are/were not barkers.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, it's nice to be here and rest assured I will be sending you all my drool over for the needy hounds.</div><div><br></div><div>Take care,</div><div><br></div><div>Lurps</div><div><br></div><div>Venus</div><div><br></div><div><br><div>
