<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" color=#000000 size=3 face=Arial>Marilyn, I laughed so hard at you all tied up in the leashes that I
cried! (Luckily I wasn't drinking coffee at the time.) When I got to
the part where you hopped up the steps, I had to stop reading until I could
catch my breath. Thank you for giving a great boost to my
day!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>It got me thinking about another "Daily Drool Classic" story about
walking dogs -- I still chuckle when I think of it. I can't remember whose
tale of embarrassment and woe it was. I probably don't have all the
details right, but as I remember someone's basset got away and she chased him
for blocks, finally caught him, and realized she didn't have a leash to bring
him home. So she took her shirt off, used that as the leash, and
walked him home in her bra. Does someone still have that story? I'd
love to read it again (I remember the part about gaily waving to the neighbors
as their party was getting out), and all the new Droolers can laugh for the
first time.</DIV>
