<p class=MsoNormal>It’s me again – Norm!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Mom and I have been laying low over the last couple of days –
she’s having trouble with the wheezing and coughing – I am having
trouble with a sore leg from slipping on the ice and snow – and we are
both bummed out coz we can’t go to the dog show tomorrow. So
anyhow, we have been reading the Daily Drool – looking for some smiles and
happy thoughts. And what do we see – our fantastic Drool Family all
a fussin’ at each other – OH NO! So, I decided to make a
proclamation:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>HERE YE! HERE YE! I, RED BAY NANOMANE PEACEMAKER (that’s
my real name) DO HEREBY PROCLAIM FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2008 DAILY DROOL PEACEMAKING
AND FORGIVENESS DAY. ALL PAST TRANSGRESSIONS, REAL AND IMAGINED, ARE
HEREBY FORGIVEN AND FORGOTTEN IN THE SPIRIT OF THE LOVING BASSET HOUND. PEACE,
LOVE, JOY, KINDNESS AND BASSET DROOL SHALL RULE THE KINGDOM OF THE DAILY DROOL
COMMENCING IMMEDIATELY. HERE YE! HERE YE!<o:p></o:p></p>
