Re: Good Old Kaycee...

Hi Gina and George and the brier list,
So sorry to hear that Kaycee was not feeling well, but so darn happy that
she snapped back quickly.
She is such a sweetie.
We are busy getting ready for Thanksgiving, and Christmas will be here
before we know it, as usual. I am trying to think of what Daisy would want
under the tree :-)) Any suggestions anyone? Usually we do a good bone and
some treats.

Hope you all have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving holiday.
Patty.
