Only there are No Drools!!??? Where is everyone? My old Gracie girl said to be sure and tell everyone that she has fully recovered from her unplanned swim in the lake a few weeks ago and thanks for all the drool and good wishes. (No, we haven’t gone back to that park yet, I’m not sure I have recovered from her swim.) <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"'>The yappy brat dog is still here, unfortunately. (DH has decided that I must be getting the chance to work off some incredibly bad karma by putting up with that dog.) I bought her an exercise pen for the backyard, she gets put in it for an hour or two every day so that I can get away from her, which hopefully will help keep me from killing her. Hug your Bassets folks and tell them what wonderful good dogs they are, because let me tell you, this dog makes my girls look like they are obedient!!! And I never thought I’d say Basset and obedient in the same breath, but boy was I wrong. Told my friend we would keep her until Thanksgiving, so we are stuck with her until then, hopefully she will be gone way before Christmas and New Year’s. <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"'>It’s Texas-OU Weekend here in Dallas at the State Fair of Texas, the big game is played today. Richardson High School, which is one of the High Schools in the city where we live, is very close to me and has a full-size stadium that is the exact size of the Cotton Bowl field where the Texas-OU game and the Cotton Bowl game are played. Most years several of the visiting team bands come practice in the Richardson High stadium. Yesterday is was the Texas band. The girls and I walked over and sat and watched the half-time show and it was great. It’s amazing how incredible these bands sound when you are there live. Have a great weekend everyone. As always, the girls and I send drool and lub and kissies to anyone who is in need.<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>
