[Dailydrool] Cakie MOOOOOS THANK YOU...and the stompin worked

[bassetslave]

MOOOOOOOOOO. It is me. A very tired Cakie.I must Mooo a lot of thank you's 
for the BoardWaddle weekend, but first I gotta thank all the houndies who 
STOMPED their paws so it wouldn't rain on GM Thelma Lu's pawrade. It came 
close. T'was a little cool and got very windy, but all together, it DID NOT 
RAIN. There was a time before the pawrade when it was threatening and the 
she slave got on Aunt Kathy Rikers PA system and started begging the 
houndies to all STOMP their paws. She never did that in pawson before....but 
it WORKED! Rain gone.That woman is an embarassment, but at least she is 
willing to humiliate herself for us houndies.

I got lots of humans to thank and at risk of offending anybody who I pawget, 
remember I am old and so is the typist.....she starts by thanking Aunties 
Sandy and Ilene for the nifty pawty. Of course, I didn't get to go, but the 
slaves were there for a bit and it was spiffy....right down to the Mathis 
music.....and Pw. Annie was very comfy....and there was a cookie toss 
pwactice in the kitchen....and thanks to Paul Curley who went with the he 
slave to fetch the cookies and soda and haul pawction stuff and then lead 
the pawrade!

Thanks to Sandybob and Pam and Jason and Erika for doing the Olympics any 
yakin wif da press.

Thanks to Auntie Diana and Uncle Frank who not only came all the way from 
Ireland to help haul stuff to the pawction, but he was the last one to leave 
that night...then they waddled me and Petuniapupcake! Thanks Auntie Cathy 
and Angelika and Johnny and Roy for coming to help carry stuffs...and to Pw. 
Miss Brandy for putting up with it...and Aunties Sharon Wilder and Marion 
for checking folks in and to Aunties Lisa and Ilene and King George's Kay 
for hawking stuffs cause they done real, real good. Thanks to the prize 
girls, Kathy Z and Lori who don't even have hounds and Erika! Thanks to 
Uncle Sandybob for taking the moolah....and did we mention Frank for staying 
till the end to haul the stuff he hauled in out???

Thanks to the basset wranglers Sam and Jason (who also did pictures and 
games wif Auntie Erika...proving ya can do stuff wif a baby in tow.) Thanks 
to original slave Sharon and the slaves to my grandpuppies, Joan and Karen, 
and Auntie Kathy and Doreen for signin in the folks and passing lots of 
moolah to Doug the waddle accountant! Thanks to Aunties Lisa, and Pat and 
Carol and Amanda and Faith....and Tom for hawking books and Auntie Donna for

Thanks to Kathy Z and Lori for coming back on Saturday.....Kathy runs the 
picnic with a team of little kids from Ocean City Elementary school who are 
pawsome! Thanks to her kind adults, Paula and the chefs, Ed and Jim who have 
cooked somewhere in the neighborhood of 12,000 hot dawgs over the years!! 
Thanks to Auntie Walli for doing the water and her Mike for helping and 
Aunties A and Marilyn and Cathy B for guarding the gate with Sue Mason who 
fostered Sunny.....

Thanks to the pawfectly pawvelous sales team that had Auntie Susan from 
Brood and the unflappable and helpful Auntie Moosebarb...thanks to Bonkie 
for putting up with the pupper and grand puppers and for Rollins for trying 
to...and Auntie Alice who is real good at hawin stuff and her mike and 
Aunties Carol and Amanda and to our Judges...Auntie Sherrilyn from Columbia 
and Uncle Neal...it must have been cold he was wearing long pants....big 
thanks to those who stayed to haul stuff and my breederslave Hank for 
unloading the truck with the he slave on Sunday morning.

BIG thanks to Auntie Kathy R for being the proxy bidder (she had some 
winners!) and doing registration and POOP raffle and measuring ears and 
bellies......the Auntie's Amanda and Walli and the she slave and Moosebarb 
walked the field and for the first time in TEN years there was no poop! 
Besides...after last year's indignity of not placing in Closest to the 
Ground....she measured me well, er down and the family honor has been 
restored...

I could keep mooing and I'm sure I have already missed somebody, but I'm 
sorry and grateful and tired......and need a cookie!

Thank you all for coming and pledging and donating stuffs and bidding and 
buying and making it work for another year! Thelma Lu was a pawsome grand 
marshall. At under a year, hear is hoping that she has many good years of 
waddling ahead of her.

THANK YOU EVERYBODY....More later like who won da pledge contests.... cause 
I need a nap and she slave has to get back to work on wrapping things up....
