<p class=MsoNormal>It’s me again – Norm!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Sorry about the delay in this part-ee report, but we just
got home from Virginia Beach and the censors have just released the pics.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The gettin’ ready part of the part-ee started Saturday
afternoon. Grady and I staked out this really neat dog park where we were
camping, if you want to call our house-on-wheels camping. We took the
decorations down there – our fiber optic punkin, our singin’ basset
and our special light up Halloween basset. There were already picnic
tables there for the food, as well as these big tubes to run through, a climbin’
thingie and these sticks in the ground you could weave through. Of
course, there were a nickzillion trees, a big hills, and a big water
bowl. Hoagie and Johnny brought the extra bottle of Jose Cuervo
from under the sing and dumped it in the water bowl. Next, the guy came
with the music – Brudder Bob arranged for the tunes – you guessed
it – he played “oldies”. Jake’s B-B-Q arrived
with the food! OH MY GOODNESS! Jake sure does know how to order up
the food! We had ribs, chickie, steak, oysters, taters, baked beans,
watermelon, southern style greenie-beanies and ice cream! What was Jake
thinking when he ordered those baked beans? That was going to be a
problem with O.F. Grady and Elder Clara. We might have to call in the
Environmental Control Squad from the Naval Air Station for them! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We were ready! Just about then, the biggest, longest
limo I have ever seen, not that I have seen many, pulled up. When the
doors opened, there was da Brudder Elwood, Brudder Jake, Brudder Bob, Sister
Daisy and Elder Clara! Then the girlz arrived and they were smellin’
mighty fine. Kassie was all spruced up and bouncin’ around.
Chrissie was strutting her stuff and lettin’ everyone give her those
special girl sniffies. Ouija was really hot and was all about Brudder
Elwood. She definitely had her eyelashes goin’ overtime for him!
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Just as it was beginning to get dark, the action heated
up. Grady and Elder Clara wandered off into the tunnels! I think it
was a tunnel of love at first sight. But man oh man! The fumes
comin’ out of there were something else! Good thing no one lit a
match! Hoagie and Sister Daisy hit it off right away. They are both
kind of the quiet types and they went up on the hill watchin’ the F-16’s
flying over. Kassie and Brudder Bob were in rare form! They were boogie-ing
to those oldies! Look in Nigel’s dictionary under TWIST & SHOUT
and you might find their pics there! Johnny, Opie and I were feelin’
kind of weird and goofy and kept chasing each other up the hill but ended up
rolling back down each time. I think it was that Jose stuff Johnny put in
the water. Now about da Brudder and Ouija! There were embarrassing!
Couldn’t keep their paws off each other! Wrestlin’ around and
chasin’ and makin’ goo-goo eyes at each other. On time they
disappeared and I was gettin’ a little worried about Ouija’s honor,
but they were just climbing that A-frame thingie. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Our special picture taker took some pictures so you can see
us all in our Halloween costumes. The really good pics didn’t make
it pass the censors. They thought they would be a bad influence on other
doggies. Check out the pics at <a

<p class=MsoNormal>I am sure that da Brudder will report on the part-ee too and
maybe tell you about the little “spot” of trouble he had.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Drools to ya!<o:p></o:p></p>
