font-family:Arial'>Howl did it get to be Friday already? Seems like only yesterday
I was in Michigan Aroooing it up with old and new friends both hound and human.
I am still numb over the sculpture of Melba Toast. A huge thank you to every
one who gave hard earned cookie money for this most wonderful gift and to my
dearest friends who did this with out me ever knowing despite all the e-mail I almost
read LOL. Thank you one and all from the bottom of my heart. Melba Toast will
be at the Bridge almost 6 years and it still seems like yesterday she was
woofin at me to do her bidding or to post to the Daily Drool about some ones
hound making their way to the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Rainbow</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Bridge</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>. I can still
cry at the thought of that wonderful houndy girl and the joy and love she
brought not only me but so many others. Believe it or not after all these years
I still have not been able to read all the notes I got telling me how sorry
folks were to hear Melba Toast made her way to the Bridge. They are all printed
out and in a folder; I know that might sound crazy but to this day tears flow
so hard I can’t see to read all the nice things folks had to say. I
just know in my heart how so many cared and sent their love both then and now. So
thank you all again and in the famous Melba Toast woofs..”NUFF SAID”.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
