<DIV>Who could believe what had happened when a large box arrived at the door
last week! Miss Bella B welcome the delivery man and happily chewed on a
treat she received from him! My only clue was a return address with the
name Kathi Lockhart, who’s name I recognized, but what is this? We
couldn’t wait! But then, giving thoughts to “there must be a mistake...as
I had not joined Secret Pawtner this year”! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Opening the box, was an immediate clue, stating “We heard you are under the
weather, Get Well Soon!” Your Secret Pawtner! </DIV>
<DIV>Well, that was true! I had spent a week in the hospital and in ICU,
to discover I was low in sodium...! Now with a nurse visit, a CNA visit,
coming three times a week, and an assistant from “Seniors Helping
Seniors”, helping me every afternoon, I was so overwhelmed to </DIV>
<DIV>think Kathi had thought of me as a Secret Pawtner! THANK
YOU! ONE VERY THOUGHTFUL KATHI LOCKHART!
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And in the box, I found a large paper towel Basset Hound holder, with the
most beautiful hand painted basset face on the top and the big puffy painted
paws at the bottom. What a treat! Also, a book titled “The
ABC’s and 123’s Presented by Basset Hounds” which as a retired
teacher I had to immediate read and so enjoyed! And a 2015 Basset Hound
puppies calendar, one of which I always purchase for myself! Miss Bella B
was not left out as she received a large bag of treats which raised her
attention to what was in the large box! Oh, so much appreciated!
Thanks Kathi! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And that’s not all! The very next day, from the Slobber Shoppe, the
very same Secret Pawtner, Kathi, had sent a running basset, with the flying ears
flopping in the wind on the side of a lovely, lined inside, black purse!
Included in this box were Basset socks which I will be putting to good use after
I have surgery on my large infected toe, (after an ingrown toe nail)
! Cheezy-Beefy Doodles were also found in this box, and a large
basset nose discovered the treats were for her! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am just flabbergasted, but so delighted to be remembered from my Secret
Pawtner! Thank You Kathi! I now feel guilty not being able to be
part of SP, but I’m telling myself, next year! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hugs, </DIV>
<DIV>Patti Pike, Bella B, also... Daisy Mae, Scooby
Doo, Tiger, Molly, Duchess, and Pokey...all
ATB waiting for me! </DIV>
