It's a note paper pad w/the silhouette of a bassethound on it. It's so darling, I'll get a kick out of using it to send notes - and I'll think of my Daily Drool friend Kacy when I use it. This has been a great SP year for me, and I keep thinking how lucky we are to have Donna in charge each year. Thanks again, Donna, for a wonderful exchange of fun, games, clues, gifts with our friends on the Drool, and most of all, it benefits our best friends, those precious bassets.</div><div> </div><div>Last year when I was unable to participate in the SP project because Raymond was so sick, I received a pkg from Stephanie Cornell with some wonderful basset gifts
(she was my surprise secret Secret Pawtner) and her darlings: Gracie May, Sadie Mae and Lightning. Outstanding among the gifts was a beautiful basset 2013 calendar which has brought us so much joy and smiles during the past year. Because each month's pictures of the 3 hounds have been so wonderful, I really hate to see this year end.</div><div>Stephanie, if you're creating a basset calendar for 2014 and have an extra one you'd like to sell to raise money for your favorite basset rescue group, just let me know. </div><div>Donna, I'm so sorry to learn of Dawn's condition - a very sad time.</div><div>When I see the names of all my great Secret Pawtners of the past years on all the editions of the DD, it just warms my heart. The other day I received a card from Laura Salmon, and today from Doug Dropp and Donna Lindy. Thank youall for keeping me I your thoughts at this time, I really appreciate it.
My surgery will be Mon, Sept 9, and I'll let my DD friends know the outcome afterward. Hope everyone's enjoying the Labor Day weekend! Beryl & Zoey</div><div> </div><div> </div></div></body></html>
