New puppy smell

There is nothing more innocent and loving than a new puppy. A toe-chewing, face-licking, drop anywhere body-eliminating ball of unconditional and uncontrollable energy. And that puppy-breath smell, it just makes you smile all the time till your face hurts. We picked up our new pup yesterday, a Parsons "Jack Russell" pup that has been dubbed "Agnes of Huntley"or "Aggie"
for short....what austere names we give such little creatures. They're not destined to become president...or doctors...or lawyers, not even managers of The Depot Lodge, but oh my, they hold the top spot in the "pecking order" in our family. So I've decided to go ahead and have the will , the deed to the house and the titles to everything changed now...it's just the way we feel about those head-cocking little things. While I'm in The Swinging Bridge Retail, I plan on picking up one of those signs that says all the stuff about your pet that's true, like I'm the Dog, head of the house, I take my family for a walk every day or something to the order. Enough said about my dog....YOU know exactly what I mean!
Let me inform all you folks that were coming to eat Friday...the restaurant won't open back up till Saturday, the floors can't be walked on till then....I hate it, we thought we'd be open for Friday.....what's the saying..."best laid plans of mice and men"....I'll just blame it on the mice....
just call...I'll cook for you and serve you in the Lodge or better, just plan on coming Saturday.



The big 30...just 30 days till Vern's day...Spring.


Here's a good word...Scuttlebutt...
Definition:...A report(often malicious)about the behavior of other people. I think people ought to butt out instead of talking scuttlebutt!
