The Canine Corner...by Missy MacTavish

Well, the Tulsa Boat and Travel Show is safe this year. Mom scheduled a vacation so that Dad will be out of town for the entire event. Dad cannot walk past a boat without panting. He has bought and sold more boats on Grand Lake than Ugly John.
Me? I will be in Jail. Maybe I can get some rest. These long walks every morning are killing me but my parents need the exercise. I have to put them on a leash to keep them on the street, as they tend to wander off to look for lost golf balls.
I read in the paper that during the big draught in the 50's there was a five-year-old kid that had never heard thunder.
I'm beginning to think we are never going to get rain. I noticed that it usually rains after a car wash, so I have set Friday, Jan. 27, as the date that everyone in Grove should get their car washed…and then it will rain within 48 hours. If it does rain, you can thank me with your donation. And, I'm looking forward to my friend Champ Miller returning to Grove.
His parents bought him a big bus so he can travel with them. Isn't that nice.

Remember, next week there will be no Grove Observer...I won't be able to get to a computer in Jail.
Until next time…Miss Missy.
