<p class=MsoNormal>Hi, it’s me, Clyde Kadiddlehopper,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hi Auntie Claudia! You know me, the little hound
who loves to read and whose goal in life is to help homeless hounds by becoming
the “Oprah” of the basset world with my Bark of the Month(well
almost) Club. I’m still laughing over the stories in my latest
selection by Sherlock P Blanchard(who is a basset hound), Deer Aint
Peggy. So as a little teaser since this book is a departure from the
picture books I usually choose I’m going to entice you with written
reviews of the book and a couple of excerpts. Reviews first:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>“I am crying I am laughing so hard. I think a
dog lover finds it even funnier, and the fact I agree with Sherlock on his
writing style is even funnier.”<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:
"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>“I read several of the stories to my 91-year-old aunt
who is mentally sharp but bed-ridden in a nursing home. It was the first time
I'd seen her laugh like that in years.” <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>“I found ‘Deer Aunt Peggy’ to be a
delightful book! It is easy to read (it's hard to put it down once you start
reading it).” <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>“I loved the book. I cracked up over the time
management story and washing the clothes. I can see my spouse doing just
that.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Now excerpts:<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";

He was neutered a couple months ago en ah think they neutered the wrong end.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b>Sherlock witnesses a religious epiphany:</b> Bob said,
“Well Sherlock, ah was rakin them leaves up one day, en about the time ah
got my second blister, it occurred to me that God didn’t name them thangs
leaves fer nothin <span style='font-family:Symbol'>-</span> He wants peepul to
leave em alone.” Ah am always impressed by how human beings come by
their religious convictions.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Remember that all profits from the sales of the book will go
towards GM2B Pw. Xandy Bear’s Boardwaddle pledges because she said so.
Yessiree, that’s what she said. She also said I had to give her all
my cookies but I didn’t take that seriously. Won’t you please
help the homeless Tri-State hounds by buying some copies of my book? It’s
never too soon to start thinking about SP gifts or even stocking
stuffers. Who wouldn’t love a copy of my book signed by the
author? So please e-mail the blondeslave at <a
href="mailto:sgmoose@optonline.net">sgmoose@optonline.net</a> to get the
details. Remember one book including shipping is $20.00. Up to 3 copies
can be mailed in the same envelope and each additional copy is $15.00. Do
I have to get out the sad Clyde picture again?<o:p></o:p></p>
