"Be sure and bring your pup
with YOU"
This is the first time our pup
has been invited 10 a night club
though he is very fond of such
places.
One time he sneaked away
from us in the hotel lobby and
we found him down in the night
club.
He was standing before the
bandstand.
A young woman was singing
you Made Me Love You. I
Didn't Want to Do It." and d.
recting her song at him. He
stood there appreciatively wag-
ging his tail much TO the
amusement of the night club
patrons.
A remarkable animal with an
astonishing capacity for enjoy
ment.
He chases squirrels all day

and then wants to spend tho
evening gadding around night
