<div dir="ltr"><div>First off, sending drool to Morse across the ocean who had us as his secret pawtner this year. We will be eating some of those yummy treats you sent and drooling for you.</div>

<div>First off, 3 out of 4 of our hounds are barkers. We closed the curtains after it got dark which brings down the amount of barking. I was in the kitchen and Maggie was laying there and just started barking. I was thinking what is she looking at and why is she barking with the curtains closed. I followed her line of vision and saw what she was barking at. My 11 year old daughter had on an Ariel (Little Mermaid) red wig and Maggie thought she was an intruder from the side view. When my daughter turned to look at her Maggie stopped barking.</div>

<div>Also, I have noticed Maggie is getting more and more stubborn with age. She'll go out in the far corner of the fenced back yard and just sit and stare at nothing and refuses to come in. She pretends she doesn't hear us, but she does because she cannot control that wagging tail of hers. Sometimes she is often stubborn to even go outside. Tonight I think I figured out why. When I ask them to go out, I call their names. Everyone else here calls "Come on dogs, lets go out" and Maggie doesn't move. Maggie does not answer to dog and I think it is hysterical. If I hear them saying dogs, then I tell the other humans here that they have names. I don't say come here kid or husband or whatever. </div>

<div>Thanks so much for sharing the video of Annie. What a gorgeous girl. I love the close up picture and she looked so cute in a hat. I was watching the video and didn't want to miss a picture so I was eating ice cream and watching the screen. Then I figured out that there was nothing on the spoon. The ice cream had landed on my shirt instead. Oh well, it was worth it.</div>

<div>DRool to all in need,<br>Dee, Maggie, Mazzie, Oliver & Cooper</div></div>
