I just knew it! The funny thing was that Candy DePaul guessed my name, but I had to break the news that I didn't have her name. However, I told her that I suspected we would be pawtners some day! The next day I find out she had my name!!<BR>
<BR>
Thank you for making this so much fun, Donna. This exchange is always something to look forward to each summer!<BR>

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