<div>I am here in New Orleans for 10 days, and what do I see in the local newspaper, TIMES PICAYUNE, this am? A wonderful column by Sheila Stroup, a "lifestyle" columnist of long standing. There is a picture of her new basset puppy, Ruffins. Her column tells how she was contacted by Leslie Wallace of Looziana BR about a mom and new puppies needing help. They had known each other previously because Sheila is a pet person and had done articles about LBR. The article gives very nice background info on Leslie Wallace and goes on to tell the story of Ruffins and his littermate. It's a real heartwarmer and I urge you to read the whole thing, found at the link below:</div>

<div>My boys are home in NY with their Dadslave and I am missing them lots. I wonder if they miss me??? They would want me to send drool to all in need for what ever reason. Consider it done.</div>
