January 26th, 2012 Wow! What a beautiful issue, Susan! I laughed and cried and laughed my way through. Great opening photo of the bathtub. Smiles. Then M. Lord, she was gorgeous and I had to take a cry break. I was saved by the barnacles and white papery encounters. Giggles. Back to beautiful M. All those titles! She was so special. Then Reno. More sobs. The RVW name. Very interesting! A doggie friend recently asked me how the name came to be. Now I have an answerLoved all the pics. Snow and lure coursing, etc. I just love pictures of them stretched out in full flight, so magnificent! That last pic of the basenji hanging onto the towel rod reaching for the bag is a hoot! Thanks so much. I will definitely revisit this one…........…KAREN STOTKA January 26th, 2012 Wow! What a great issue! Thanks for mentioning Mom.

Thanks, that was fun to look through this morning. And thank you for the note of congratulations that you published. I really appreciate that. .........................…..…KATIE CAMPBELL March 28th, 2012 came across this ............ from The Highroad to Health by Andress-Brown-Power. Dr. Philip A. E. Sheppard, a dentist, who spent many of his vacations among the people of Zululand, says that he has occasionally extracted teeth for the members of the tribe."It has always been on an occasion of festivities, with the immediate members of the kraal and their dogs admitted. All joined in the chanting and singing and clapping of hands, while the dogs contributed their share in the concert most lustily, the underlying idea of all this being that the patient would not feel pain. At all events, even if he did, they have made sufficient noise to satisfy or frighten the spirits, and the evil after-effects have been warded off." ..........................................................DAWN CROWELL DONALDSON March 28th, 2012 Prey drive! I read an article recently that bemoaned the over use of the term. Here is Eta after a turkey in our back yard. .......EUNICE OCKERMAN Ockerman photo |
March 30th, 2012 Thank you for thinking of us. We're fine and several hours away from the recent tornadoes in IL and IN. The communities that were hit suffered a lot of damage and heartbreak. We live in a very tornado-prone area, and have lots of tornado activity to contend with. Usually, most tornadoes occur in the spring when the weather is changing, but since the weather patterns have become so unpredictable, we've even had tornado warnings (as in sighted in the area) on New Year's Day. We have a furnished basement, so that's where we go to wait out severe storms. We have a weather radio in our bedroom, programmed to let us know of severe weather in our county. Last spring we had so many tornado warnings and spent so much time in our basement that we bought an extra bed so we can just sleep down there when there's severe weather. It's too much of a hassle to trek up and down more than once a night. When there's a warning, we have to keep Dasa from scampering under the bed in my office, her favorite hiding place, and then propel both munchkins down the stairs, grabbing their collars and leashes as we go. During one tornado alert last spring I was lying on the carpet in my second-floor office extracting Dasa from underneath the bed. As the siren wailed, I remember thinking, "I didn't plan to die like this." Now when severe weather is predicted, we close the door to my office at night so Dasa can't rush down the hall and hide under the bed. This makes it a much quicker escape to the basement. By some reports, the time between the siren and the funnel cloud touching down is two minutes, so we try to move as quickly as possible. It's also why we move downstairs when the weather radio issues a warning, rather than waiting for the sirens in our community to go off..............PEGGY PICK March 5th, 2012 Just FYI, I read the entire Wrinkler last night from cover to cover on my iPad!! Arencha proud?.............................................LOTTE HOTALING March 4th, 2012 Hi Susan, I was just going again through the Wrinkler and must say I so much liked all of it (well, as always). Especially I liked the "drawing" in the sand for "M" from Erin Fogarty and also the poem from Joe. How nice! And then....looking at the barnacles, it brought so much memories back to me when I was at your place. You have done a super job with the Wrinkler, just loved it!…….USCHI GREWE March 6th, 2012 Susan, Thanks for telling my Jamani story. Fabulous job on the Wrinkler! Love all the photos.
