color:black'>Well, now that Norm has made my obsession with Kenny Chesney
public, we need to tell you the story of how Kenny Chesney came to be living in
my closet.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'>I have been a Kenny Chesney fan since early in his career –
while I like almost all country music, his music just captured my
interest. Since we “raise” our puppies on country music, Native
American flute music, 50’s rock & roll and a touch of classical
music, Kenny became part of our musical education for our puppies. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'>So … back to the story. We (my hubby, Granny Pat and I
and all 8 dogs) went to the New Castle PA dog shows in late May.
Pat & Craig made a run to the grocery store and beer store. Lo and
behold, there was a life size cardboard Kenny Chesney at the beer store,
advertising his favorite beer. Well … Pat started negotiating with
the young man who was tending the store. Somehow (and she won’t
tell me but I think it involved some bribery), she convinced him to let her take
Kenny with her. So, Pat and Craig came back to our campsite and told me
there was something in the van for me. You can imagine my surprise!
So, Kenny had a place of honor at the cookout we hosted for our Basset Hound
Club of Western PA – with his music playing of course – and when we
came home, he took up residence in my craft/sewing/computer room. I had
lots of things going on in the room the other day, so Kenny was standing in the
closet with the closet door open (I would NEVER shut him in the closet!).
And yes – I will admit it – sometimes I put him in front of my iPod
and pretend he is singing especially to me – LOL – much to my 15
year old twin granddaughters’ chagrin.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
