Volume 7 , Issue 41

It has been awhile since that NW Okie has let me get close to "OUR" laptop keyboard. Lately, I've been teaching and hanging around with this little black "intern" of a puppy pug. There for awhile I had my friend, Ruff, to help guide this youngster pup through her toddler years. BUT... Ruff has since returned to NW Oklahoma earlier this week. WE surely do miss him. Now... that Sadie pup comes in a wakes me up in the morning. Before, she would bounce upstairs to arouse Ruff out of bed. Sadie, would you like to say a few words to our audience?

"Ruff! Ruff! Where are you? We miss your sweet self around here. This big pug around here doesn't quite fill your miniature schnauzer paws." says Sadie

This Big Pug does give that Little Pug some exercise, though. Usually in the late afternoon and evening hours. Sadie has this game of jumping upon the couch and playing keep away from me while I stay on the floor, corraling that pup on the couch. Then she hops down off the couch and runs figure-eights on the floor between me and the base of the coffee table. Sometimes I let her chase me around the table a few times... before we both are panting with tongues hanging out.

Yep! Afterwards, we make a rush to see who gets to sit on NW Okie's lap. Being the bigger of the two pugs, I can spread out pretty darn good. BUT... that onery little thing always seems to find a place to squat -- right on top of this Duchess! I'm just glad she is only half the weight she could be in another six months. Whew!

Meanwhile... Besides hunting for the "Gold in the Rockies," our NW Okie was last seen going through her uncle Bob's treasures looking for something. It may have to do with "V-mail's" from WWII. We have E-mail's nowadays, but back in the mid-1940's they used these shrunken, censored military letters called V-mail that were sent back home to the homefolks. They were so small... How small were they? They were so small that the printing on them is kind of hard to read for the little old lady without a magnifing glass in hand. Anyway, I think Okie is saving that for next week's newsletter.

Happy Homecoming to the Northwestern Rangers in NW Oklahoma! Sorry we couldn't be there this weekend! Send us your homecoming crowd, parade, football photos to share with everyone. Thanks!   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
