<DIV>Wow...talk about Secret Partners. I just had an early
Christmas...Christmas in August and was that wonderful. My secret
Partner..KAREN MUCHMORE...has to be the most generous person on the face of the
earth.</DIV>
<DIV> Early on she sent Biscotti for Sammy which he absolutely loved, and
she sent a sweet basset notebook ...Then....she outdid herself...remembering
everything about everything! There were things for me..things for Sammy
and thing to remember Homer by..</DIV>
<DIV> I received: 1 "Bad Dog Book"....hilarious..too bad I didn't
know the editor; . </DIV>
<DIV>
I could have added Homer.</DIV>
<DIV>
2. A ceramic basset for my collection</DIV>
<DIV>
3. A King Charles key chain to remind me of Sammy</DIV>
<DIV>
4. A purse note paper tablet</DIV>
<DIV>
5. A Basset holiday ornament</DIV>
<DIV>
6. An oriental rug bookmark...this has very special meaning since </DIV>
<DIV>
Homer ate the fringe off most of our oriental throw rugs.</DIV>
<DIV>
7. A set of kissing bassets....adorable</DIV>
<DIV>
8. Basset stickers</DIV>
<DIV> 9.
A jug of Wild Cherry Colorado jelly ..mmmmmmmmm</DIV>
<DIV>
10. And Sammy got more treats, which he grabbed out of the box </DIV>
<DIV>
before I could open our gifts.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We also got pictures of the Muchmore family and all of their pets...Oh,
yes...to carry out the Christmas in August theme...everything was wrapped in
Christmas paper..</DIV>
<DIV> I am totally overwhelmed. Karen really played this
game with me so well to the point of having people send me doggie cards
telling me they knew who my secret partner was.... Many also sent
Emails. I haven't worked so hard figuring out who my partner was for
a long time...and she was so clever.</DIV>
<DIV> Karen...I thank you so much...We both had a lot of fun with this,
and I am overwhelmed by your generosity and knowing exactly what to get.</DIV>
<DIV> Love,</DIV>
<DIV> Esther, Sammy and Homer
