He grabbed a strange device I've never seen before, said it was a bridge phone. He was hooting and howling and there was another hound, called LuLu, on the other end and she (it's a she hound) was INSISTING that no one named Hettie had arrived and there was absolutely positively NO Hettie on the manifest for today (or yesterday, or tomorrow). She checked. 3 times. No last minute changes. No Hettie. Nothing.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Well, while he and this LuLu hound were checking and rechecking all of their lists I grabbed the iPaw and messaged Ms Hettie herself who told me she was keeping well and was presently snuggling her woman and she told me she had no idea whatsoever how this rumor got started.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">In summary, rumors of Hettie's demise are highly exaggerated. She's fine. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Goodbye from Chomper who is still trying to get Snoopy off of the bridge phone thingy but now he's talking to some she hound named Gracie and there is what sounds like a LABRADOR RETRIEVER carrying on in the background (for the love of dog)</div></div></body></html>
