“Greetings from Texas!!!

My dear Elizabeth – just wanted to forward you a very happy picture of the girls and myself shopping at our local flea market this past Saturday. A very nice friend took this shot and I just knew I had to let you see it. We are always mobbed at the flea market by people who can’t take their eyes or hands off the girls. Of course, the girls love it. All the vendors know them and have water and treats for them. They are welcome in the antique/gift store that sponsors the event with open arms. There are wonderful cold cement floors there and the girls, especially Clue, love to lay on them. Some customers are surprised to see them “shopping” indoors until they see the warm welcome they receive from the owner and her employees.

Quinn is close to me and Clue is on the outside.

Can you believe that Clue is 11 ó years old???… People tell me what wonderfully behaved dogs they are.”
