Thanks for the kind words Jim and Jim; sorry, can not get pics of Elvis, he has left for greener pastures. Actually, I am very happy for him, I was just feeling a bit sorry for myself and missing the snuggle time with him. I am truly happy for him and really hope he has a home with some children, bassets so love children-especially special needs children (not just handicapped but also emotionally in need children)-bassets have so much love to give.
