Hi, Arfur heer, wif da news bowt owr howliday pawty adbenchur. We packed up Hugo an' Vito an' Lady awl in da pickup twuck (not a gud fit) an' hedded to a reelly neet pawty wif owr fwends. Wen we got dere, we saw rite away dat lots ov owr frends wuz dere!! We ran rite up to Buster an' Coop an' den we saw Boki an' Charlie an' Abraham an' Einstein an' I fot YIPPEE dis is gonna be fun. Howebber, most ov da fun I had wuz runnin' owtside wif da gang an' racin'. But yu won't beweev dis!! Wile we wuz racin' Boki an' Benji an Vito, Vito kep tryin' to humpity Benji hu iz a puppy. But Benji bein' a puppy nebber stopped or slowed down at awl! Yu shudda seen dis! We wuz runnin' as fast as we cud go an' mama wuz laffin' soo hard. But not at da race - no, not dat - Vito da big dummy wuz ridin' on da back ov da puppy and dat puppy wuz runnin' a nickzillion miles a howr an' Vito hangeded on wif hiz front pawsies an' his back pawsies were hardly tuchin' da grownd!! Dat wuz wun strong puppy!! Mama sed it wooked wike a munkey ridin' a gwayhownd! Whelp, we gotted bak inside ware we hadda stay neer mama an' papa - sept for Hugo hu is so old an' slow dat he cud wander arownd. But evry time mama turned arownd Hugo wuz rite dere nex to us. OK, no problemo. Den day start da games. During musical chares (rugs), Hugo wandered fru da game, lookin' ober da rugs (probly to see if wun wuz comfy) - but he gotted owt of da way before he wuz a pwoblem. Later, wen mama wuz tawkin' to a lady hu liked Vito cuz hims name wuz Vito an' it wuz her papa's name (an' cuz hims so cyoot), she herd a ruckus neer da food table. Now dere wuz not much fud left cuz it wuz neerly awl eeted. Awl ov a sudden a hound jumped up an' gwabbed a lofe ov bred an' started a tug ov war wif Antie Michelle. Wham! He ripped off abowt a haff ov it an' ran under a table. But afore dat happened, mama sed look at dat dog - it stole da bred! Across da huge bilding, papa wuz sayin' da exack same fing. Den day bof sed - "OMG DAT'S OWR HUGO!!!" Ya see, awl day Hugo had been skopin' owt a lofe ov rye bred dat habbed spinitch dip in it. It wuz rite neer da edge. He made hiz moov wile ebry buddy wuz bizzy packin' up an' not payin' enny attenshun to him. Under da table, he garded it wile he eeted it awl up. Da peeples wuz laffin' an' laffin'! Needless to say, Hugo did not get a big supper wen we gotted home. We had such fun. Lady did not get 'dopted so she came home wif us agan.<br>
Mom here, the boys wore their name scarves from Little House of Hounds and got many comments on them. If it weren't for those scarves, we never could have kept track of them and poor Arfur would have been accused of theft about twenty times (it was a dog named Annie) until I saw the lack of scarf and knew it wasn't him. [Arf heer - she shudda notissed da lack ov somfin else too!!! Hmph! A gurl!] They sure looked handsome in them and we are still trying to get a picture for the cards.<br>
Oh, and Bill and I sold our basset silhouettes, making some moolah for da hownds.<br><br>Have a great week - drool to all in need for sure! We haven't been able to keep up with our Drools, but we try to. Whelp, gotta go back to editing Arf's galleys for his book. We will let everyone know when it is available. Lots of pictures of unknown hounds in it from various events.<br>
