<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Many crossed paws, good wishes and prayers for our friend, Elder Clara, this week. I have instructed the underlings in my household to send lots of drool to Virginia Beach. And, please, dear Clara - hang tough! We are both tough old birds and need to stick around a while longer. These young -uns need lots of help, believe me. (I'm sure you know that -- we each have one in our household!)<br><br>And try not to worry, Mama Debbie -- I made it last year -- Clara can too. Hopefully the vet can use that anesthetic that you come out of right away. I was only under a few minutes, came out and went home two hours later. (After I stopped to eat a cookie I found in the parking lot. Never let a good cookie go to waste!)<br><br>Qw. Olive<br></td></tr></table><br>
