Thanksgiving With Jean

One of the most frequent readers of this highly-acclaimed blog is Mary's sister, Jean, pictured here in the white turtleneck. Besides being an absolutely wonderful person (and good looking too xxxooxxx!!), and excellent sister an daughter, a wonderful American Airlines employee, and a endless supply or gum for our kids, she is also.....a dog lover!
On our way back from the airport, Jean was telling us that in addition to her 3 dogs and numerous cats (sorry can't remember how many, Jean), she and her also lovely roommate Jen often animal sit -- most specifically -- dog sit.
Some call it doggy-paradise, others call it doggy-day-spa, but whatever you call it, it is perfect and Jean and Jen are perfect doggie hostesses. From my recollection, Britta (German Shepard) is the Queen and sits in the middle of the back yard and oversees all the activities when all the other dogs (both visitors and residents) are playing and roughhousing. Nolan (also German Shepard), is sergeant-at-arms and breaks up any unapproved scuffles. Tinkerbell (Jen's rat dog -- didn't know how to spell chi wah wah) just runs around thinking she is both queen and sergeant-at-arms.
While Jean was in Ellwood City enjoying Thanksgiving with her family, Jen was kind enough to watch all the dogs plus one or more doggie guests. Thank you Jen!
Finally, the lovely and gracious Mrs. Glenn (that's my wife, Mary), would like me to make sure all of you know that Jean does an excellent impersonation of an Asian manicurist/pedicurist, especially when she says...... "big toe gooh fur fwower!" For those of who don't understand, that's "big toe good for flower." (Inside joke, I guess.)
