<DIV>It rained on our Howl-o-ween Pawty but nobody cared...we had lots of
cheerful helpers and most of all the Bassets truly had fun playing chase and
running loose on the wet grass ..wet everything! Wet AIR! lol... even Georg who
prefers to neverget his pawsies wet and poop or pee inside when not forced to go
outdoors into the wet...George and Munchin ad about halfthe dogs there I
thin...totally sniffed the entire perimiter of the Academy Daycare Grounds!
POURING RAIN..and they were outside getting poured on..with tails up
totally engrosed in the sniffing.</DIV>

<DIV>It helped to have heaters and lots of treets and for the
hoomans hot cider and coffee! That famous homemade potato salad and rolled
sanwiches and all the good potluck stuff! Mmmmmm</DIV>
