<DIV>OK, I found a basset that I<FONT size=3> WAS</FONT><FONT
size=2> interested in adopting, her name is bailey and she is with
Michigan basset hound rescue, so here is the GLITCH, you have
to agree to raw feed her if you adopt her, I have talked to several people
and although they liked the raw, it can be a lot of work and very
expensive. so this is the third glitch kind of like three strikes
your out !, the first basset I found , that I wanted very badly was adopted by
her foster mom, two weeks after she was adopted I had to write and tell them
that they needed to take her off their web page and petfinder if she was indeed
adopted OHHHHHH we forgot ! the second hound I found, the
rescue said they wouldn't adopt out of their surrounding state, even though
a drooler who lives across the river from me, had adopted from them, I
believe she said twice, but when i wrote back, pleading, saying we would
even drive to Indiana to pick her up, their reply was " SORRY "
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>I am not interested in learning something new, like feeding raw. I
spent countless, a gazillion hours, months, cooking and killing and butchering
meat for my Maggie. I am done</DIV>

<DIV>Saturday was really nice here, so hubby and I decide to go out to
dinner, I put on a pair of nice capri pants that I had not worn since
last summer, I am out in the backyard and felt something bulky
in my pockets, put my hand in and pulled out a pair of Maggie's baby socks
. I lost it, right there I collapsed in a heap of tears
in the grass,uncontrollerable crying, I just couldn't
stop, it will be five months on the 14th of May and it
still hurts so bad .she continues to send me messages that she is
still here. I just want to hug her</DIV>

<DIV>Has anyone used the new flea and tick collar called
Seresto ? My vet said beings I am walking Annie in the park down by
the river, that I should use a preventative, he said the ticks are going
to be really bad he removed a small tick from her ear today, he said if I
google it, there is some negative hype on there, but he has several clients
using it and he has seen no negative reactions. does anyone use these
collars ????</DIV>
