[Secretpawtner] Karen, YES!! we are your SP!!!

[Mr Shannon R Gerdel]

YES!! Karen Guessed us.....YEA!!!!!!! Okay, for the clues I gave:

Clue 1: This might be harder than it was in the past
I don't know if I can find enough clues to last
Lets just say that you have 8 more of these than I do
And that will be it for your first clue.

Answer- You have 8 more cat Paws in your house, and 8 more wanna be
paws in your house

Clue 2 the places we live share a few things in common.

Answer: Colorado and Wyoming share an interstate, a state line,
railroads, highways...etc, etc, etc....

Clue 3: We  have participated together in tan activity that raises
money for Basset Reacue before.

Answer: You had my DXW name last year, or the year before

Clue 4: Have I started to drive you crazy?
This is clue number four,
If I am vague enough, there will be more
You have shown extra kindness to me,
So have many in the Drool family

Answer: You sent me all of the Howliday Cards that you received last
year.........but like I said, everyone on the DD has been so
supportive since I got sick

Clue 5:I suppose more clues I should attempt to try to give to you SP
the state You live in has more of these than any other in the country

Answer:  Colorado has 54 mountain peaks exceeding 14,000 feet, more
than any other state

Clue 6: There are many great things in your state, some really live in style
a man from your state warned people about a man named Lyle

Answer Pitkin County, where Aspen is, has people living in much style.
I feel really guilty now, cause the next one was mean.CW McCall wrote
'Convoy', and a line in the song reads: " :Big Benny improvin’ our
style / We could tell by the smell / We was headin’ for Hell / And the
Devil was Dirty Lyle" (Sorry, I used to live in CO, so I kind of
um...cheated a little bit)

Clue 7 I have 2 more of these than you do, please forgive me for this
clues delay
Had I been in the right frame of mind, my clues would have started this way

Answer: I have 2 Basset Hounds

Clue 8 You recently hit the century mark, but where I will not say
You'll just have to guess at what I am talking about today

Answer: It was in reference to the temperature recently

Clue 9: How are you doing on this Wednesday
I bet your growing weary of the clues sent your way.
Not to worry SP, Here is another clue to think about today
You need to find a better excuse for being late I say
It's not as if the same thing hasn't happened before
And it's not like it's not ever gonna happen anymore
(note that the above clue was a little sarcastic)

Answer: On your Facebook page you said that the elk were the reason
that you were late for work (I am very Very VERY jealous of the area
that you live in, it is beautiful, so serene.....

Clue 10: I almost started to feel a little guilty about being so vague
But the other day you said you liked being that way
Let me just say one more thing, because mean I cannot be
We have done this before in recent history

Answer: As stated earlier, we did this in reverse before:)

Clue 11: Oops, I almost typed, "Hi (your name) how are you today?
I was sure after the last one you'd guess me right away
so let me try another clue SP, this has been so much fun
I'd like to see what your area looks like, since the road work is done.

If I look up your address on Google Eath, the picture shows

This is clue number 12, I thought I'd look at your news online
I believe that the men in your town have lost their minds
I hope that the tourists understand the reason for the change
or they are going to leave thinking that men there are strange

Answer: I wasw CERTAIN that I would be BUSTED here, but it was a cause
that to my heart is dear. There was a story in the paper about the men
wearing high heels and walking a mile to help raise awareness for
domestic violence. (side note: WAY TO GO LOVELAND MEN!!"

Okay SP, This is clue thirteen, I am not trying to be mean
Your state has the most of these after the number 13.

Answer more 14'ers thn any other state

Okay, SP, You are not guessing anymore
I hope that I didn't frustrate and make you sore
If You drove about 15 minutes to the big road
You could be in my town in 4 hours or so

Answer: I figured it took longer than 15 minutes, it just said on the
map from my house to your that your home is about 15 miles from the
I-25.

Below the line are clues that I have given in the past
Soon you will know anyway, my torture cannot last

(Remember now what I said about the number 14
your state has more 14's than any other it seems)

Boxes and boxes are on the way. I hope we are still friends after my
clues being so gray!!
