Hi, Darla! We are so glad you are feeling better! You were a pretty sick little gal!----This is Darla Kelly Duffy. She got her name because she reminds you of Darla from the Little Rascals. She is a dark apricot toy poodle. We don't cut her like a poodle, more like a little stuffed animal bear. She is spoiled rotten, but deserves every bit of it! She GIVES so much! Shhh...don't tell her, but she really is a dog. She doesn't know it though. She thinks she is a human!
Monday night we were "Boo-ed" . That means that the Halloween Phantom came to our house with a 'treat' and rang the bell and ran! Now we have to do the same for 3 other families. Here are the instructions: Since this is the time for goblins and bats,
For Halloween spirits, for ghosts and cats,
For weird happenings and witches' brew,
These are the things that I wish for you...
May the only spirit you chance to meet
Be the spirit of love and friends warm and sweet.
May the only goblin that comes your way
Be this Neighborhood Phantom you must give away.
"Tis much better to give than to receive" goes the old verse
And something this easy won't empty your purse.
It's your turn to pass along a treat and a BOO
Because now the Neighborhood Phantom is little old YOU!
So by this time tomorrow, pick three friends sweet,
And give to them each a Halloween treat.
You have only one day-so you'll need to hurry--
Leave a treat on the doorstep, ring the bell and then scurry!
Signed,
The Phantom
1. Make 3 copies of this letter and a phantom ghost picture for each.
2. Post the phantom on your door or in your window until Halloween. This will ward off the phantom from returning to haunt you and yours.
3. Then take a letter, a phantom, and treat and deliver them to 3 houses that do not have a phantom posted.
Well, as you can see, our bucket was filled with some delicious treats, many of them CHOCOLATE. Darla became very sick during the night through noon the next day. She had decided she didn't want to be left out of having a treat and it was clear she had eaten some candy. Chocolate is VERY bad for dogs! I spent most of the day tending to her, and she finally rallied in the evening. Thank goodness. We are dog-lovers, and when our 'baby' is not well, it is a family matter.

"I never get to see a picture of Darla. I miss my Darla! Oh yes...and Christine too!"
Well Clint--here is a picture of her just for you. Oh, she was sick! I had some cuter ones, but they didn't scan like I wanted them to, so I'll have to work on that!
