There's a pack order here, and the oldest ones get cranky when newcoming transients arrive. The do serve some practical function: (a) as a doorbell, (b) a valuable augment to the village fire horn, and (c) an extra 3.5 degrees F of body heat when its cold. On the other hand, they don't ask for money, drink (mo' fo' me!), and love unquestionably. Two years ago, I tried to get Roscoe (12) a job. The local sheriff was standing unopposed for reelection. This guy was trying to kit his rural boys like a SEAL Team or SAS squad, with a Leica Collector- like fetish for the wares of Hechler & Koch. Roscoe had my write-in vote. He also doesn't seem to know much about managing money, doesn't share well, begs for attention, and already has a birthday suit in all the 'Sheriffy' colors. In (housebreaking) training, he peed on the want ads. :) http://new.photos.yahoo.com/droolassicpark@verizon.net/photo/ 294928804193559523/0 Charlie Meyer West Virginia Coordinator Basset Rescue of Old Dominion, Inc.
