Candy, you are so right about this year's pawtners.  Now that just about everyone has guessed their pawtners, I will fess up!  Pairing up names for secret pawtner gets to be rather difficult after several years - I really want to try and give everyone someone they've never had before or maybe that they don't know so a new friendship can be made.  In the past, I've just pretty much paired people up according to the order they signed up but then it seemed that the same people were signing up early on and others later on . . . I consider the number of dogs people have to a point - you can't always work that out, but then it seemed to limit the choices for the pawtners who have a higher number of dogs.  So this year most of the pawtners for the clues list were paired alphabetically
by first names.   We do have more than one Candy, Susan, Sandi,
Laura, Kathy, Dawn, Barb, etc. and so some of you wound up with pawtners with the same first name!  The hound names I didn't even consider so the two Maggie Maes were purely
by accident.   Before I decided to pair the names this
way, I had already paired up those of you who are not alphabetical by name so I just left those as they were.  And that is the answer to Candy's comment about similar and same names!

Did anyone else notice we had several same name pawtners??

Donna
