Well, Penuche gave me an earful just now!  I included him in the video credits but inadvertently, he was omitted from the roster….Jeez, chill out “white shadow.”  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeJ9zW0Ej24


On a brighter note, I was able to expand our reach in the Midwest!   I’d like to welcome, Smith and Wesson.   Yeah, I know they are poodles, but are you going to mess with anyone named, “Smith and Wesson?”

They will be known as E.S.P.N. (Elkhorn Standard Poodle Network).  Smith and Wesson, That's really their names!

Little Big Time is back from vacation with all these crazy ideas.  I had to use a bark collar on him during the meeting because he wouldn't shut up.

Hot stuff and I took a weekend retreat to discuss our annual budget.  I’m happy to say that I have secured a seemingly unlimited supply of Cookies. Charlotte, at Quality Liquors, has a box just for me and my gang.  Just tell her you’re with Cooper.  Also, the Village Tavern has rolled out the welcome mat for us.  Ask for Brian and tell him you’re with Cooper and the HOGS.  Right now we are also in negotiations with Howling Wolf. 


       Penuche, is pissed so if you see him, be sure to call him the “white shadow” and flash him the HOGS sign, (sit, shake, cookie).  We are accepting applications for consideration. To become a pledge, send me picture with your special skills, (thesalemdog@gmail.com). The gang will vote on it, and then I'll decide.


I'm/we are starting a novel,  if you want any of your stories to be included in my auto-biography let me know. The book will be:   Shelter Dog: Trials &Tribulations,   by Cooper D. Ely. 

The “D” is for De Clan.  Quick question does anyone have a copy of Milo and Otis I can borrow, the library got all weird when I asked them. I need to do research for my book.

Here's a teaser of the eloquent prose I’ve constructed thus far, 

"Once upon a time, it was the best of times, and it was the worst of times, back then."

So far, that's all I have, thus far, and I think I have writer’s cramp.
Much More later...
