The second attempt from the Viking of Denmark as director for the Ryders ….went a little better - well it could only go in one direction. Well enough criticism, I get enough of that each day anyway….hehe, and lets get on to the real bussiness. "Rome was built in 2 days".

There were cries of I need a partner in between bites of our weekly menu of myriad cat and dog dishes. In the middle of the pairings, Alan and POB managed to mate for 3 long hours – nice work guys – don’t wanna know the result. Not to forget the RUTTING MOOSE and Draco being a wonderful audience and barbie’s new bikini that turned pink or was that Barbie?

There was one special request – Barbie’s bichon (small, white, fluffy things), LOL, is expecting 3 puppies any day now and would like us to help her name them. Some suggestions were Charlemagne, Misty, BRB (a definite favorite in the lobby). If you have any ideas just post them in Max’s Alley…. Barbie wants the name to come from us, so put on those thinking caps.

As usual frivolity prevailed throughout the yips and mewls of wins and losses. The Moose drank himself into a stupor. The dragon quaffed several quaffs as Barbie tried to dress him pink and polka dots.

A special thanks from Me to Dee for being such a great support.
