<P>I know, that picture on the calendar (June 5) was very embarrassing, but I am continuing my OEBE ways even in my advancing age. In the new Chicago Regional OEBE Headquarters, I am continuously working on training the children in the neighborhood to give me belly rubs by bellowing at them until they relent. And the new leather (ie indestructible) couches have a nice big scratch in them from my attempts to make the cushions even more comfy. Bailey is still at it too, with her insistence on going outside at 3:00 am to chase bunnies and possums and to bark at the coyote that has a crush on her..... she makes the mom-slave even crazier than I ever did.....</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Anyways, its mom's work at home day, so I have to be ready to bark when she's on her call with a client. That's the best fun ever!!!</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Your friend and always and OEBE</P>
