<DIV>What a great time it was. Thursday night was the party at the Residence Inn
where we cram people and houndies along with food and drink in a room and
enjoy meeting and greeting,</DIV>
<DIV>Friday the weather was perfect for the Olympics and we had a
huge turn out and many hound competing. The Pawction dinner raised moola with
fabulous basset items and some of my proxy bids were winners!</DIV>
<DIV>The day of the Waddle was again perfect and we had a lot of "first timers".
I do registration and many people told me they had been wanting to come
for years and finally made it and then handed over big wads of money. Please
come back again! The parade stepped off and us volunteers then packed up and
relocated to the picnic field where there was glorious basset merchandise for
sale, Moondoggie coffee, samples from Nutro, Wellness and OMH and Tom Shreck
pawtographing his new mystery and donating his profits. Every one seemed
to be having a great time. Even after waddling the parade(thanks Eric) Loki
joined his sister Thelma Lou and her gang in an xpen where they wrestled for
hours. You would think he would be tired out but nooooo! Crackers hung out
with me at the Tristate table and entertained people by lying on his back and
scratching his belly with his hind feet. </DIV>
<DIV>Sunday we said goodbye to all our friends and headed home.</DIV>
<DIV>dawn and rich did another fabulous job and hopefully we raised
more$$$$ than ever before.</DIV>

and Loki </DIV></FONT><br/><font style="color:black;font:normal 10pt arial,san-serif;"> <hr style="margin-top:10px"/><B>A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. <A HREF=http://pr.atwola.com/promoclk/100126575x1220572844x1201387506/aol?redir=http:%2F%2Fwww.freecreditreport.com%2Fpm%2Fdefault.aspx%3Fsc%3D668072%26hmpgID%3D62%26bcd%3DAprilfooter420NO62>See yours in just 2 easy steps!</A></B></font></DIV></BODY></HTML>
