hitting the jackpot

Hello all,

It has been awhile since I hit the $1 Billion Lottery. It was the craziest thing, one day I was being seriously neglected and the next day I was hitting the lottery on my way to easy street. 

It was July 2003 when I was adopted. Ever since, my life has been the greatest. I went from being completely neglected to being totally pampered. I have put on about 8 pounds (much needed) and the vet says that of all the bassets that come through their doors, I am the healthiest one by far!

I never want for food and treats anymore, I get walked every day, and the amount of love is amazing (I love it though and will take all I can get). I have learned to do tricks (sit, shake, down, and roll over). 

I have a huge back yard to play in where I chase my arch enemies....squirrels and a cat. What fun!! I also have two beds, one downstairs and one upstairs. I now have relatives as well. My cousins are Riley (a Papillon), Taylor (a Yellow Lab), Caesar (a Miniature Pinscher) and Bailey (an All-American...nice way of saying Mutt). I tell you, I am living the "Life of Riley", and I have BROOD to thank for it.

I hope to get back to see everyone soon (if I can talk my Mom and Dad into it), and maybe I can convince them to spring someone else from the kennel. Until then, be happy and keep up hope.

Sincerely,

Emerson White
