<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>All through the winter Nelly Belle my
senior gal woofed at me, looked at the</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>stove then would woof at me again to
build that fire up. On the intermittent</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>nice days when I was a bad slave and
refused the duty I had to cover her up.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>I thought I would get a reprieve for
the hot months but Nelly Belle has figured</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>out where the AC control is. Now
she looks up at woofs at it because the house </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>is too hot. Sunbathing for 5 min.
must take a lot out of her because she comes,</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>stands in the hallway and woofs at the
control which is my signal to cool the house</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>even more. She loves having
the laying beneath the ceiling and floor fan. That is
</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>Nelly Belle's perch. I am sure PGE
are going to love us this year...</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>Izzy stayed in her wrap all almost all
day. i took it off for dinner and she was a skittish
</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>girl. The wrap seems to be her
security blanket and she loves having in put back on.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>Now that it is back on her she is
chilling out again and ready to hit the hay.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>Don't forget to get in your jerky orders
from Miss Holly Noelle who will be king! This is</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>going to be the best yet, all natural,
organic meats. We will be starting up the
Dehydrator</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>sometime next week I hope ??? If the
order comes in. I have been instructed in the assistance
</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>t</FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=2
face=Antique>o help miss Holly Noelle</FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=2
face=Antique> become king. Nelly Belle is off course the official taste
taster so the </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>jerky will have to pass
</FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>her rigorous chewing.
She prefers dry but with a bit a chewy left and I </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>am directed to make
</FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>it that way. I am just
hoping she will be able to keep those Diva paws off </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>the passed products.
</FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>She has demanded in that sweet
southern hound voice that I need to put </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>in an inspected by
</FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>Nelly Belle.
