<DIV>You, my friends are the only people I can share my hidden new secret
with...... Last Saturday, the "Ratboyz" and the DH and I marched in the St.
Patricks Day Parade here in Columbia with CBHR and ten other doggies and foster
parents and owners. It was cold, wet, and not the best of conditions but at
least we did not get rained on. Elvis Ray carried on with his tradition of
"laying the biggest turd" along the route. So, I popped out my baggy, scooped it
up amid much laughter from the crowd, plopped this 8 incher in the bag, and
proceeded on to the nearest trash can of which there was none. Well, everyone
was watching so I proceeded to carry it in my hand with as much dignity as I
could muster. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Funny thing though..... it was warm, my hand was cold...... maybe not such
a bad idea??? I have discovered the newest in hand warmers!!! Yes, folks, I have
sunk to a new low! I kept my hands warm with my dog's "turd in a bag"! Hubby was
laughing hysterically about my trash can dilemma but I was the smart one..... my
hands were warm! Eventually I did deposit it when I came to a trash can a mile
down the route and besides, it was getting cold by then. Now I know why I always
get stuck walking Elvis Ray in the parades but the joke was on the hubby!
Yeah!!!!!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And...... we won the award for the best dressed animals!!!! GO
CBHR!!!!</DIV>
