<DIV>OMG!!!!! Kathi Lockhart outdid herself. I opened this huge box and in it were individual goodie bags for each basset - each with their own color - containing a tug toy, treats and a collar bandana (the bandana slips on the dog's collar) WAY too COOL! In fact perfect timing since Filbert and Felix are going to our church's Blessing of the Animals service tomorrow and the boys can sport their new apparel. I know Kathi made those herself, plus the tug toys. She is so talented. Plus the hounds got a big bag of pig's ears! For the foodslave, moi, I received lots of wonderful scrapbook supplies since I love to scrapbook. AND Champion Sleeper - how did she know that I collect children's books with bassets?? And a basset frame and daily drool postcards. AND I actually screamed when I saw I have my very own set of the Daily Drool playing cards. Of course it was hard explaining to hubby why this particular gift made me so excited. Oh well, you all can understand. Thank you so much Kathi for knowing me so well.</DIV>
