Spuds McItchy ~*Marge Tindal*~ and ~Bill Haight~ There's a special puppy that has come to live with us He's rather quiet and reserved he doesn't even make much of a fuss~ Carved with special care from a fallen Camphor burl Bill made sure he'd fit within our little world~ However this little pooch soon suffered with fleas Spuds McItchy would be his name as you can plainly see~ He scratches night and day Yet seems still to be such a special pup to us We even help him scratch his fleas ! His colors are just sooooo unreal we know it's hard to believe Little Spuds McItchy really does have fleas ! ~The hurricanes of the past left lots of wood to carve~ Now isn't this a pup ... you really would adore ? Fleas or not ? ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

A very cute and clever write Marge, but I don't think those are fleas, I think they're termites. Take care and Have fun. Steve |

Termites! Hahaha! Hi, Marge, and well, Bill! I haven't "talked" to Bill yet, but based on his whimsical work, and the fact that he's "yours" (according to people in this thread!), he must be one special guy! Anyhow, I was attracted by the title as it reminded me of that TV icon, "Spuds McKenzie," but I could tell that fun was in store by you title. I was right! Great work, guys (and gals).

I'll say it again...what a talented duo!! Saw pics of him before and wondered how long it would take you to do a little dittie about him. LOL. Too cute! Autumn, the year's last loveliest smile~ |

The perfect puppy for a lot of people! My apartment complex doesn't allow real dogs, so a carved one like Spuds would fit right in! I'm sure you adore him, Marge (and Bill too!). sky I hope someday you get the chance to live like you were dying.... |
