He and Harley had a party decorating early for Christmas. When I went into the decorated room, it was covered ceiling to floor with pretty white polyester foam snowflakes. I had to laugh. Bo and Harley are usually such angels and clearly they had a great time. The batting is replaceable. Maybe I'll get around to cleaning some other day. For now we are celebrating Christmas early.</DIV>

<DIV>I loved the basset in the refrigerator helping himself to butter U-tube. A kindred spirit, no doubt. Thank you also, Rebecca, for the BBC clip. I have no sound on my computer and am more than a little curious who all those dour-looking old-fashioned gentlemen and children are. And Raspberry is adorable sleeping in his basset slinkie imitation.</DIV>

<DIV>Drool to all in need. Aloha, Val, Bo, and Harley, celebrating Christmas on Howloween</DIV>
