<DIV>Okay, US live in Tri-State territory...but we pay our dues to the neighbors to the south, Brood...for several very fine reasons....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. The slaves are one day a year Ramble volunteers. (Trade for the kind Brood volunteers who help at the BW!)</DIV>
<DIV>2. It gets them invited to the member picnic at Diane's house in July. Nudgie likes to swim.</DIV>
<DIV>3. Diane Morgan (Yes the lady who wrote the survival guide) does a really nifty daily newsletter that has lots of kewl articles. Had Tina been a Brood member she would have had a timely article about de-skunking that just happened to be in this morning's Daily Rambler.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So why not go pay up? It only costs $20 a year..... <A href="http://www.brood-va.org/joinbrood.htm">http://www.brood-va.org/joinbrood.htm</A></DIV>

<DIV>Cake and Nudge</DIV>
<DIV>....US couldn't resist. We haven't done any begging for paw hounds in a few months and our she slave is still woodburning hounds from Mishgun!</DIV>
