[Dailydrool] Chally bread and Horton

[Pamela McQuade]

Holly Dolly checking in with the Drool. I hear there's something called 
"Chally bread"--or is that Holly bread? Either way, I think it should be 
mine, but the mama is really stingy with bread. She says it all makes me 
itch because I am allergic to just about every grain in existence--along 
with a lot of other things. I can't believe she will not let me even try 
it. Mean mama! She tells me it's good, but I can't have it.



She is only letting me complain about the bread because I agreed that I 
would ask the Drool to sling the stringy stuff for Horton. The little 
guy is at the vet's having the second round of shots for heartworm, and 
he's away for two days--hurrah, I say! I will have more peace in my 
household. But the mama is funny about the silly little guy, and she is 
asking the droolless humans to send prayers his way so that he will do 
well with the nasty shots and will not get too upset at her not being 
there. Mama found it very hard to let him go when he didn't want to 
leave her to go to into the vet's kenneling area.



Mom also wants to tell people that, even if she doesn't write you to let 
you know she's praying for your sick hound or the loss of one, she still 
does it. Sometimes she just can't write about it. After losing three 
hounds in one year, she just gets so overwhelmed at people who lose 
their hounds to the Bridge that she finds it hard to write. She loves 
you all, even if she doesn't get to send you a note. And she is praying 
for Debbie, too, though she has not sent a card.
