...and Basso is a DACHSHUND! YAY! She looks like my pup growing up, Schatzi. My avatar is not a picture of Schatzi, but the closest I could find (actually, snapdragen found her for me!) of Schatzi's color, size, and spirit.

When I get over my lazy self, I will scan and upload pix of my kitties. This thread is a delight.
