Dear Canine Parties,
Marty and I were so happy to receive the "pupparillos" that Marty won on December 31.  It took a bit of practice to get him to stop burying the treats but finally he began to enjoy them just before I lost my home to a fire.

Marty had been in the home at the time the fire broke out.  We thought him to be a victim of the fire until a little girl and her father came by the next day and informed us that she had seen a small dog run from the porch out of the flames and into the yard.  Still baffled at his disappearance and our inability to find him, our friend Ray and his dog Knuckles came by after hearing of our fire and Martys' disappearance.  He told us that from time to time he chased squirrels under a shed on the property.  Sure as the sun was shining that day, there he was .... afraid and shaking from the trauma, but alive and well!  Later that week, he managed to "dig up" one of his pupparillos to our suprise and delight. 

Just thought you might enjoy hearing that story.  Thanks ever so much for the doggie treats and I wish you continued success with your endeavors.

Best Regards,

D. P.

and

"Marty"
