Sister Holly has asked me to type up Sister Anna’s repawt. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Hi girlies, it’s Anna at the Bridge. When I left last week, Mama told me to go find Clara and everything would be okay. So that’s what I did, I found Miss Clara, and my goodness, she has had me hopping ever since. I not be complaining here, being busy helps me not miss everyone at home so much, so it’s a good thing. Anywhoo, Miss Clara put me in charge of the Sweet Meat Shoppe here on Main Street, and Sisters, you would not believe all the goingson that I watch every day. Main Street is so busy, it’s like the Parade of the Houndies goes on daily. I haven’t met everyhound yet, but I’m working on it. PW Justin and his Protégé, little Lilly the Buppy, do the promenade daily, as PW Justin is very involved in Bridge activities, especially theatrical and cultural activities. It’s fun to watch them going down the street, PW Justin is very regal and handsome and walks and greets everyone, and little Lilly the Buppy frolics along behind him, chasing butterflies. They have waved to me, but have not come into the Shoppe yet. Oh my goodness girls, that reminds me. A couple of days ago I was checking stock and working behind the counter, and girls, all the sudden something pinched my rumpbone, and I JUMPED almost to the ceiling. When I landed I twirled around, and there was a very handsome hound grinning at me. How you do Sister Anna, he says, my name is Johnny. See you soon! And off he goes, trying to catch up to Xaxa the Basset. That was definitely an unusual encounter, wonder if he will be back soon. Definitely a fine looking specimen of a hound! Oh dear girls, I gotta run now or I’ll be late meeting me friends Miss Becky, Miss Elder Clara and Pawcasso Blossom for lunch at the Buffet. I’m going to see if I can get Becky and Clara to help me talk Blossom into doing a mural for the Shoppe, won’t that be fun? I’ll keep you posted on what’s going on. Lub and kissies from Anna.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Anita Woodrum<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'><a href="mailto:awoodrum@clear.net">awoodrum@clear.net</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
