A Cat Was Involved
“Do we have a pub date for this e-original short story?” Admin says. “All about how Chet and Bernie met, if rumors are true?”
“August fourteenth, about a month before A Fistful of Collars,” says Spence. “I can’t address any rumors at this time.”
“And what’s the download price, if you don’t mind my asking?”
“Ninety-nine cents.”
“Seems reasonable, unless it’s one of those extra-short short stories.”
“It is not.”
“OK, then – when do I get to read it?”
“August fourteenth – didn’t we just cover that?”
Our condolences to Staff, Dawson and Catty Librarian.
Welcome Catherine, Athena, Kerby, Bear.
Admin: And don’t forget the pop quiz (see yesterday’s post). Entries accepted until high noon today ET, or even later! (Spence: huh?)

Wha!?…What happened to June or July?…grunt!
9:38 am on May 9th, 2012
What would it be like to sit in an office all day with Spence and Admin? Pondering. The short-story sounds like fun.
Good morning all.
9:40 am on May 9th, 2012
Stover!…You’d probably have to listen to that old-timey music they like so much…snort!…All day long.
9:49 am on May 9th, 2012
I’d have to do something about that music. Perhaps I could convince them to listen to classical or new age…….
9:52 am on May 9th, 2012
Stover!…Then you would have to listen to their constant bickering over the smallest things…heh!
10:01 am on May 9th, 2012
Good morning. August???? {sigh}
Dawson, Staff, and Catty Librarian: Our mom went to one of those awful meetings last night and didn’t return until it was past our bedtimes. So we didn’t have our iPaw and didn’t read your news until this morning.
We are so so sorry for all 3 of you and your parents. It is so hard to lose your sibling, but we are very glad that you all have each other and such wonderful memories. Please be at peace and be happy that Chris is now at peace.
10:02 am on May 9th, 2012
How will we get to read the story if we don’t have a nook? Will it show up on this here blog?
Oh, good morning all.
This is Melanie’s big packing day before she departs for the wedding. Exciting week for her family. Would love to hear part of the ceremony that Leonard is going to perform. Do you think Melanie or the Royal’s Mum will post it for us?
10:08 am on May 9th, 2012
Rio: I’d prefer the bickering over bluegrass.
10:11 am on May 9th, 2012
Dear Friends,
Thank you for your kind thoughts. They are much appreciated. It has been wonderful that the 4 of us (the TurtleMan is here too) are able to be together at this time. We are glad Chris’s struggle is over.
10:11 am on May 9th, 2012
Kirby: The children’s section of your mom’s library sounds interesting.
10:11 am on May 9th, 2012
How about Josh Hamilton’s four home runs in a single game last night in Baltimore. Even though he was on the opposing team (the Rangers), the Baltimore fans gave him a standing ovation when he took the field in the ninth inning after hitting the fourth. Pretty classy, huh. I bet Macy was twirling all night long.
Wookie
10:13 am on May 9th, 2012
Wookie, those 4 homers brought back good memories of Michael Jack Schmidt for us.
10:14 am on May 9th, 2012
Staff!…How are your maw and paw doing through all of this?…sniffle!
10:19 am on May 9th, 2012
Here is a photo of Elliot the massage Kat hard at work. He refuses to actually touch the client, preferring to work on a lambskin draped over the form. (He thinks skin without fur is “icky”).
10:23 am on May 9th, 2012
Well, I now know why there was so much texting going on between Masquers and Belle Starr. I awoke this morning to a bit of commotion and a lot of very loud whispering downstairs. When I checked it out, I found three things: Belle Starr with a hanging flower basket hockey taped to her head, Masquers balancing and origami crane atop that lovely cat-dog head and Luna wearing a tasteful and age appropriate mother-of-the knucklehead corsage on her collar. “What are the three of you doing?”
It seems Whitey-Lance did a bit of talking about the royal wedding he attended last year. Apparently, the girls felt slighted that they didn’t get to go last year. As it turns out, a plan was hatched to blur to newf pack wedding and snatch the opportunity to wear silly hats. Don’t worry, Rose, they weren’t going to leave you out; they selected a very large centerpiece for your hat. I hope you have a very strong neck.
10:24 am on May 9th, 2012
Dear Rio,
Dad does not say much but Mom was unhappy that she could not help him or go to see him. I know we are all glad that he does not suffer any more.
10:27 am on May 9th, 2012
Bella, I hope there will be pictures! Also I hope that centerpiece for dear Rose does not need water. That will make it extra heavy.
10:30 am on May 9th, 2012
Why is Admin encouraging more entries up until noon? He already has the winning entry – OURS!
10:33 am on May 9th, 2012
Staff: We realized too late the omission of your fourth sibling, the Turtleman, in our condolences to the family yesterday. To all the family, our best.
Elliot: Very nice photo.
August?!!!
10:34 am on May 9th, 2012
Rangers!…Wookie and Howlers, I have a feeling the Rangers are going to be Unstoppable this year…grunt!dammit!
10:35 am on May 9th, 2012
Elliott is a very fine looking kat. Would love a massage from him.
Oooo, I can’t wait to see my hat!
10:41 am on May 9th, 2012
Gasp!…The Rockies are tied with the Red Sox at sucking-big-time…grump!
10:42 am on May 9th, 2012
Vhat is this? There vill be vedding and Natasha vas not invited? And no von consults her on hats? Is known by everyvon – Natasha is Vorld’s Best Under COVER Spy – vhat you think COVER is? Is HAT!!
Humph!
Natasha thinks vould be good to attend vedding after all – could be front for gathering of agents. Hmmm…. Siber, vill need you for escort – vould be conspicuous if glamourous guest shows up alone.
10:49 am on May 9th, 2012
Elliot is beautiful.
10:50 am on May 9th, 2012
Natasha: I don’t think it is so much that the Smoochers were invited as they planned to crash, I mean, infiltrate the fancy spy event. As far as the hats, well, Belle Starr has a mind of her own.
10:51 am on May 9th, 2012
Damit! the kat is out of the bag. It was supposed to be a surprise.
Actually I’m taking time off from my regular Jazz Gigs to play with my friends at the wedding reception. I’ll be looking very suave wearing a French Beret.
Natasha & Siber! This wedding is shaping up to be the Grand Event of the season. Heh!
10:52 am on May 9th, 2012
GOOD DOG! What is going on NOW! (actually I love youse guys planning on coming to the wedding!)
Off to Pack! I actually had to heat up the west wing because it was very damp. I’d like my clothes to be dry!
Bella? Please check SDD
10:54 am on May 9th, 2012
Is ok Bella – ve vill all “crash” together. Please tell Miss Belle Starr that Natasha has vonderful pink seqvin beret vith bow and big flower on von side. Vould be vonderful vith pink sparkly collar.
11:01 am on May 9th, 2012
What is a wedding? What is a hat? I want to be invited to the hat thing.
11:02 am on May 9th, 2012
Rose: Looking forward to seeing you and the Prof there. He may want to join us in a set.
11:05 am on May 9th, 2012
Hats!…Beau and I will go to the wedding but we are not wearing these hats she picked out for us…grump!
11:15 am on May 9th, 2012
Rio – once Mama stopped laughing she said she would pay REAL money if you and Beau would show up in those outfits. Come on – think of the money you could raise for Snowhook!
11:17 am on May 9th, 2012
Hello everybody. Our girl Angie, who is staying with us while mom and dad are at the coast, left the laptop on when she went to work this am. Too bad there is no credit card available. We could have quite a day.
Those pugs look like BLOOMING idiots, heh-heh.
We send our best wishes to the happy couple, but will not be attending, since we have to make sure that the house is properly coated in dog hair for when m&d get home. I personally don’t shed, but I will be happy to assist the others in their efforts.
I don’t know if mom saw the game last night. She is in Houston Astros territory. Woohoo Joshie!
Oops, I am late for my mid-morning nap.
Later, y’all.
11:27 am on May 9th, 2012
Masquers, I’ll have the Prof bring his gypsy jazz guitar. He is always ready to play. I can’t wait to see the Smoochers in all their wedding finery.
Macy, I hope you are enjoying yourself. I was thinking about you this morning when I saw the replay of Josh Hamilton’s 4 home runs! Wooohoooo!
Rio, I think you and Beau missed Carnival, but I would pay lots for a picture of you and Beau dressed like that!!!
11:45 am on May 9th, 2012
Rio – you look so unhappy in that flower hat.
11:49 am on May 9th, 2012
Contest entry submitted by someone here on our behalf. Now we wait.
Tomorrow, at least, is closer than AUGUST. Humph!
Rio: You and Beau. Smirk.
12:17 pm on May 9th, 2012
Okay, it’s after twelve. Not having any idea what Admin and Spence were talking about, and since I doubt ANYONE will steal my idea . .
I did a mathematical proof.
Snort.
Love the picture Riö! Can I borrow the red one? I think it would look great with purpler.
Time to clean the Element. Hose, simple green and a mop!
BELLA CHECK SDD
12:18 pm on May 9th, 2012
We are looking forward to the short story. All the rumors about what the story is about started on this blog.
Cogratulations to Josh Hamilton!! I’m with Rio…The Rangers are on their way!
Let us hope that the Rockies aren’t on their way to last place. GAH The Rockies need starting pitchers.
Oh Dawg, Natasha wants to go to another wedding, Oh Dawg.
At least this one is on this side of the Alantic and part of our blog family is in the wedding.
12:26 pm on May 9th, 2012
Rio and Beau, tee hee I dare you guys to show up at the wedding looking like that. I would pay good money to Snowhook to see it.
12:33 pm on May 9th, 2012
Rebecca!…CHECK YOUR SDD ASAP!…Grunt!
12:41 pm on May 9th, 2012
SiberH!…Why don’t you pay good money to Snowhook and we’ll call it even?…snort!…When is the 2013 Iditarod Entrance Fee due anyways?….wheeze!
1:11 pm on May 9th, 2012
Rio, I don’t know. Rebecca needs to tell us. Last year, remember, they paid the entrance fee early because there was a drawing and the chance of getting the entry fee returned.
1:14 pm on May 9th, 2012
SiberH!…Check your SDD, and be quick about it…grunt!
1:16 pm on May 9th, 2012
Element is cleaned out! Now has a fan in it. The weather is yucky. Very humid.
While Patsy and I were on the ice run, The Pack escaped to the river. They had a very good time. They should smell perfect for the wedding
crashinginfiltration.Next. Fat Free French Vanilla yogurt and a piece of dry toast. Yum!
Then it’s moving the stuff I’m taking to the west wing.
1:26 pm on May 9th, 2012
Barb: If you don’t have a Kindle or Nook, you can download the short story from Amazon onto your computer.
{Just seeing if I have parentheses.}
1:45 pm on May 9th, 2012
Rio, I replied!
2:00 pm on May 9th, 2012
Melanie,
Don’t forget your pills. Mr.Staff had to bring mine down to me in a rush yesterday. They were all packed, I just for got to put that piece of luggage in the car.
He is such a sweetie.
2:09 pm on May 9th, 2012
Howlers: Check your SDD asap!
2:09 pm on May 9th, 2012
Buddy: Check and responded.
T.C.: Now you need to check your SDD.
2:10 pm on May 9th, 2012
Howlers: Received and processed. This is fantastic news!
2:11 pm on May 9th, 2012
EVERYONE CHECK THEIR SDD!
Steve and Terri, I would have sent this to you all also. But I don’t have your emails. Don’t worry though, you’ll know soon enough!
2:16 pm on May 9th, 2012
Amazing!…Simply awesome and amazing work on The Secret Mission…heh!sob!heh!sob!heh!sob!
2:31 pm on May 9th, 2012
Wow Melanie. Awesome is right!
2:35 pm on May 9th, 2012
Totally Awesome!! sniff, sniff, sniff
We love it! Perfect! It doesn’t get any better than this.
2:39 pm on May 9th, 2012
Melanie, it’s a masterpiece!!!
2:40 pm on May 9th, 2012
sniff sniff sniff is right. The only ones who send us SDDs are the Howlers.
2:46 pm on May 9th, 2012
Don’t feel sad, T. Buddy is the only one who sends us SDDs and his news is rather humdrum.
2:46 pm on May 9th, 2012
TC: Did the Howlers get this SDD from Melanie?
2:52 pm on May 9th, 2012
Nope no SDD here.
2:56 pm on May 9th, 2012
Masquers, would you have time to tango with me at the wedding???
2:57 pm on May 9th, 2012
I’m pretty sure I sent it to you T.C. Let me try again.
3:06 pm on May 9th, 2012
It is wonderful Melanie.
(I don’t know T.C.’s email address or I’d send it on.)
3:06 pm on May 9th, 2012
Howlers!…I definitely saw your email address on the big email Melanie sent out…grunt!…check “arabeq”
3:06 pm on May 9th, 2012
Okay, I had sent the email to T.C. and all, it didn’t get there. If you don’t get it, please let me know and I’ll send the email to you separately.
3:12 pm on May 9th, 2012
Melanie resent and this time we received it. But we are having trouble viewing the video.
3:33 pm on May 9th, 2012
Melanie – you are incredibly talented. All of it made me cry. Amazing…
We’ll be with you as you plunder off to the wedding weekend.
Thanks to SQ for his support.
Elliot – you are one beautiful Kat.
3:38 pm on May 9th, 2012
Love!…Elliot and BlueKat sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G…heh!snort!
3:41 pm on May 9th, 2012
OleyHowlers, try changing the quality to a lower level.
3:45 pm on May 9th, 2012
Move over Ken Burns! Melanie is something special, isn’t she? (whispering) When Melanie sent the first draft to us, I took it out to show AJ. He was working outside. He took a break and we sat on the deck watching it. I looked over and saw that his cheeks were wet. Was he crying? Of course not. “I…uh…just have sawdust in my eyes.” As strong of spirit and body a AJ is, he has a very soft spot in his heart for the dogs.
Rose: The handbag that the Smoochers picked out for you looks very much like a watering can. Maybe Natahsa would be willing to lend you something more appropriate and less organic.
Melanie: From our pack to your pack, they wouldn’t miss the big day for the world even if it means sneaking in the back door. Have fun!
Rio: The first day to sign up for te race is the 30th of June. This will be the first year that I won’t be at the picnic with AJ. I will be across the country finishing up at a work conference. I told him he better stick around if they do a drawing to get your entrance fee back; you must be present to win. Snort!
3:52 pm on May 9th, 2012
We will try that Melanie. Got to run now.
HAVE A GREAT FANTASTIC TIME !!!
3:55 pm on May 9th, 2012
Melanie – The video is wonderful! My outright sobbing is now down to just sniffing. It is so beautiful.
3:56 pm on May 9th, 2012
Entrance!…Fee!…snort!…I’m a tad concerned about that small thing….grunt!…We don’t have nearly enough Items turned in yet to cover this huge entrance fee…sniff!…Everybody please figure out something you can donate to the Store to raise some cash by June 30th…snort!
4:18 pm on May 9th, 2012
Sob! Melanie, it is a Masterpiece, A Work of Art.
We are proud…So Proud. Sniff
Can we offer it as a DVD for the Spring Boutique?
We would pay BIG BUCKS for it.
4:39 pm on May 9th, 2012
hmmm, I don’t know BearSpiritDog.
I do have some DVDs around here somewhere. I have yet to make a DVD with OS Lion. I’d be willing to try.
Let me think on it. (snort! as if I’m going to be thinking about anything for the next 5 days!)
4:44 pm on May 9th, 2012
By Saturday 1:30 I will be a . . .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i-wuQvc2FU&feature=fvwrel
4:44 pm on May 9th, 2012
While watching the video, we started out sniffing, then it was sobbing, but we stood up and cheered and clapped when we saw the wonderful photo of Anabelle. sniff
4:45 pm on May 9th, 2012
Rio, do you know what the entrance fee is???
4:47 pm on May 9th, 2012
Rio, you can SDD the answer if you’d like.
4:47 pm on May 9th, 2012
Rose, set down…last year it was $3000.
5:05 pm on May 9th, 2012
3000!…I wonder if my friend would be able to make 120 5×7 projects between now and June 30th….snort!
5:07 pm on May 9th, 2012
Well, Rio, They WOULD sell.
5:23 pm on May 9th, 2012
Busy!…She would be too busy to make 120 – maybe she could make 10 and I would sell them for 300.00 a piece…heh!heh!…She is shaking her head…sniff!
5:51 pm on May 9th, 2012
My girl is home! My Girl is home! Oh joyous day!
6:04 pm on May 9th, 2012
Bear, your wise , handsome face is up top.
Sammy, you must be soooo happy. I bet your girl is happy to be home with you!
SiberH: I’ll see what I can do…..
6:06 pm on May 9th, 2012
Sam is happy!
6:14 pm on May 9th, 2012
Sam, We are happy for you!
6:16 pm on May 9th, 2012
Rose: If I can take a break between sets, I would be honored to dance the tango with you.
6:19 pm on May 9th, 2012
I hope Natasha doesn’t think we are going to dance the tango. ha ha ha
6:21 pm on May 9th, 2012
Sammy: Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy! At Last All is Right in Your World.
6:56 pm on May 9th, 2012
We finally got to watch the amazing video. Mom and Pop are tearing. What a wonderful job The MIL did!
Are we now allowed to share? Like on FB and stuff?
7:55 pm on May 9th, 2012
O.Howlers; Don’t quote me, but I think Melanie mentioned in her email she hoped everyone would share the video. We are trying to convince her to make a DVD.
Kirby: Forgot to say…Great idea your mom’s library had with the Where the Wild Things Are theme. What a Special Place it must be!
8:10 pm on May 9th, 2012
Rio, I know I’m hours ahead of you watching American Idol so be sure to watch.. Philip Phillips is up first and is unbelievable!
8:38 pm on May 9th, 2012
Wow, Melanie, it is just amazing. You are just incredibly creative. Totally blown away, and a little teary-eyed too. My dad and I cheered at the end. Have a great time at the wedding. Wookie
8:47 pm on May 9th, 2012
Well, I decided to dive back into the blog. I know I have missed a lot of happenings and meant to try and jump back on May 1st but here it is May 9th. I’ve been super busy heading into retirement and on an emotional roller coaster which I didn’t expect. Questions –can someone SDD me the answers (and recap some highlights of what I have missed these last 3-4 weeks):
what is this DVD people are commenting about?
I have some stuff ready to send to Rebecca for the store. Are these items for an auction or are we just to set a price? What date are we aiming for?
Even though I haven’t been around, all of youse have been in my thoughts and thanks, Rio, for checking in with me.
8:56 pm on May 9th, 2012
Masquers, I would be truly honored!
Welcome back, Charris…You’ve been missed!
SiberH: Would you dance the tango with me??
Rebecca: I might start a fashion trend with my watering can pocket book.
Sammy, are you and your girl all cuddled up? I’m happy for you!
9:08 pm on May 9th, 2012
Good night all! Can’t wait to see you at the wedding!
TTFN
9:15 pm on May 9th, 2012
CHarris: It’s a boutique not an auction so you set the price. Melanie made a video for Snowhook. She sent the link to our email addresses. Everyone is asking if she can make a dvd. She’s going to try after she gets back from her son’s wedding.
9:25 pm on May 9th, 2012
G’nite, M-I-L !
9:28 pm on May 9th, 2012
Siber – of course you vill tango vith Natasha. Ve hope you vatch Dancing vith Stars show so you know many fancy steps. Ve expect at least von dip, and von lift – more is better.
Miss Rose – ve hope you and Masquers vill reqvest many many tango songs from orchestra.
Miss Melanie – video is VONDERFUL! Is so beautiful. And you spelled Natasha’s name correct – you are very smart person.
Must go now – is possible must make slit in dress higher for accomodate fancy tango step….
9:28 pm on May 9th, 2012
We have been busy all day and are just checking in to say good night. Going to watch the video.
Thank you Melanie and have a wonderful trip tomorrow.
Happy for Sammy and glad C Harris checked in.
Bye for now.
9:33 pm on May 9th, 2012
Well, Rose, I would love to but neither you nor I want to listen to Natasha. Thank you for asking.
CHarris, Woo Woo and welcome back. Stover just did an excellent job of condensing everything that has been going on. Plus, We have been talking about baseball a lot. Stover blocks all of that out.
Could someone please SDD CHarris the video that Melanie sent us today? She will love it.
9:36 pm on May 9th, 2012
Oh Good Grief, Natasha. I have never watched Dancing With the Stars in my entire life.
9:53 pm on May 9th, 2012
Oh dear, did I forget baseball….
9:53 pm on May 9th, 2012
Crap!…We missed Phillip Phillips opening the show…sniff!…We just caught him in the duet though…wooooo!
9:54 pm on May 9th, 2012
Video!…I’m pretty sure CHobbit Harris was copied on Melanies first email…sniff!…If you do not have it Ms Hobbit, let me know and I will send it to you…heh!
9:55 pm on May 9th, 2012
But Siber – is good show. Think how good you vould look vith spray tan, and open front shirt! Vith your eyeliner – oh, you vould be star of show.
10:03 pm on May 9th, 2012
Natasha!…Have you ever met SiberH?….heh!heh!
10:06 pm on May 9th, 2012
I am speechless.
GO ROCKIES!!!
10:18 pm on May 9th, 2012
Rockies!…How come the Rockies aren’t playing tonight?…wuffle!
10:27 pm on May 9th, 2012
I don’t know because my newspaper said they were. I was getting ready to turn the tv on the game when I typed the GO ROCKIES post.
10:32 pm on May 9th, 2012
Rio, The Rockies played the Padres today…must have been an afternoon game. Tomorrow, the Rockies play the Dodgers.
Do you want me to tell you the final score of today’s game?
10:32 pm on May 9th, 2012
Rio and SiberH– That is because they played this afternoon. Won’t say more in case you want to watch a rerun. Wookie
10:39 pm on May 9th, 2012
Yes!…Because they are not going to replay it tonight…grump!
10:49 pm on May 9th, 2012
Rio, the Rockies beat San Diego 6-2, with their new pitcher Christian Friedrich pitching six solid innings to win his debut and Jason Giambi and Wilin Rosario hit RBI doubles off the top of the fences at Petco Park. Wookie
10:50 pm on May 9th, 2012
I just got home and it is blustery and cool. I’m going to do dog chores, come back in, light a fire and watch a certain video on YouTube.
SiberH: You may have led a certain spy on at the last bash when you, uh, gave her a tour of your truck.
CHH: Welcome back! We have missed you.
11:00 pm on May 9th, 2012
Rebecca, I like Natasha, but I don’t dance. gah
Perhaps there is hope for this new Rockies’ pitcher. I would have liked to have seen this game, but, oh no, the Albuquerque Journal got the time wrong.
Thanks Wookie, You are more trustworthy than the newspaper.
night all
11:01 pm on May 9th, 2012
Wookie!…Thanks! I can sleep soundly tonight knowing the losing streak is over…snort!
11:07 pm on May 9th, 2012
Watching a movie – not that great.
See you all manana – Bear
11:17 pm on May 9th, 2012
SiberH. I think I feel a song coming on, inspired by your last comment.
“Your momma don’t dance and your daddy don’t rock and roll …”
Kenny Loggins, a really great song writer/singer.
Good night now.
Wookie
11:27 pm on May 9th, 2012
Melanie, we are going to watch the video now. Got the email at work and of course, YouTube is blocked on business computer.
SiberH, Dancing with the Stars is really a great show! Mom loves it.
Melanie, have a wonderful time at the wedding. You know we will be thinking of you and your family Saturday.
Welcome back, C.Hobbit!!
11:44 pm on May 9th, 2012
Just watched the video and WOW!! What a wonderful piece. Melanie, you have missed your calling.
Go Snowhook!!
11:45 pm on May 9th, 2012
Yes, I have the video in my email which I had also gotten behind on. If it is going to make me teary, I think I’ll wait to see it. It sounds beautiful so thank you Melanie.
12:13 am on May 10th, 2012
Siber – vhen you see Natasha in dress for vedding – it vill make your heart dance – just let your feet follow, and ve vill make pretty music together.
Your Siber don’t dance
And your Rio don’t rock and roll
Your Siber don’t dance
And your Rio don’t rock and roll
When evening comes around
And its time to go to town
Where do you go
To rock and roll
Where do you go
To rock and roll

SiberH: Your job is quite simple on the dance floor—let your partner shine. And, if that slit gets any higher on Natasha’s dress no one will even notice that your paws aren’t moving to the beat. AJ isn’t much of a dancer either, but boy can he dip.

Hey, y’all! I’m late coming to the dance tonight because Mom had a church council meeting, and then she and Dad had to move everything from the new refrigerator to the old refrigerator because the new refrigerator ain’t workin’ so hot — or maybe I should say it is working hot! The refrigerator was 60+, and the freezer was -16. Not good news either way. 🙁 The new refrigerator is a stainless steel name brand with all the bells and whistles — only three years old. The old one was a cheap, no-name one that’s 15 years old. But it’s working just fine and the “new” one is acting like it’s on its last legs. Sigh….
Melanie: Great video. It made Mom get all teary eyed, but not me. I’m too tough for that. Sniff…sniff. Danged allergies!
CHobbit: Welcome back! Among the highlights that you’ve missed, we have to include Stovernia! Our new homeland was founded when Barb and/or Maggie misread something, thinking it said Stovernia. So we, of course, took that and plundered on with it! In Stovernia, Bee is the empress or queen or whatever she’s calling herself these days. Oh, wait. I think she decided on benevolent dictator. Any mention of that “b” sport that Spence is so fond of is greeted by a jail sentence, which actually isn’t so bad, because Bee serves her homemade pie to the prisoners. I can’t remember all the rules — if there’s more than two, we dogs are all hopeless — but I’m sure if you enter “Stovernia” into the search box, you be able to read the post Spence did about it.
OK, Mom’s off to bed so I have to sign off. Good night, y’all!!!

I hope we’ll be able to get that story downloaded to the laptop (PDF format?) here. We don’t have any eReader or tablet or smartphone or …? Just the laptop and 11 year old digital camera. The camera is used mainly to take photos of beautiful me playing outside. Naturally!
I’m looking forward to the juicy details of what happened to Chet … or rather, what Chet DID with a cat. Mind you, I like MY cat Flower quite a lot. She doesn’t get in my way and helps me with our job of keeping Mom warm when she lies on the couch to watch TV.
