Comes now-hot off the presses
the very latest shaggy dog story.
It's about the Shaggy Dog Con-
test the Tailwaggers Club held
yesterday.
Such details as the shaggy dog
that ate raw carrots to calm raw
nerves while being judged and

The important news is that the
Judges finally got untangled from
the shaggy dog leashes and
handed out prizes-including one
