Well, let's face it - that's pretty frightening news for a dog. My nose is the most im- portant part of my body. How else could I tell if Victor was opening a bag of potato chips if I couldn't sniff them out'? So when a dog hears his nose is going to be out of joint, he gets really worried. Well, the first thing i did was have a good look at it. I trotted right over to the oven door (the glass in the oven door is the only mirror in the house built on my level) and looked at my nose. It looked perfectly good to me. Oh sure, there's a gouge in it where Black Jack, the cat next door, jabbed me once. But my nose certainly appeared to be straight on my face. I check- ed my sniffer, and it seems to be fine, too. So I decided I better keep my ears open to find out what was going on. It turns out that this nose -out -of -joint business is just a euphemism for being jealous. Euphemism - that's an impressive word in a springer spaniel's vocabulary, isn't it? It took me three days of pawing through Mary's dictionary to come up with that one. Just in case you're totally confused, Cd better do some explaining. My name is Pep- per. I'm a black and white springer spaniel and 1 live with Mary and Victor on the bank of the beautiful Ausable Cut, just up river from Port Franks. There's been quite a bit of excitement around the house lately. Carpenters, plumbers and electricians have been going in and out. and all of a sudden, the house is much. much Nigger. Final- ly. Mary and Victor explain- ed to me that there is going to be an addition to the house. and also. an addition to the family' Maryls 1# mu•-Q41gs 4' BY ftnARY ALDERSON cries, or whine for attention when they're holding the baby. Isn't that silly? Just because I've been running the household my way for five years doesn't mean I'll get upset because someone else needs attention. Much, anyway. Somehow, people have the idea that I don't like kids. Now, that's not true. I love kids - as long as they are old enough to throw a ball that I can chase. I will admit I'm not crazy about the little ones that just sit around and cry, but once they start walking I don't mind them a bit. As long as they don't pull my tail. Take Nicole, who lives next door with Black Jack, Scat and Tiki. Well, Black Jack and Scat, the cats, and Tiki, the dog, and I, used to think she was just a nuisance, but she's turning out OK. She can throw my ball now. and she laughs -like crazy.when.I bring it back to her - so i guess she's got potential. Anyway, I told Mary and Victor that having kids was OK by rne, as long as we can rush them through that cry- ing stage and get on with the ball playing.

Well, with all the campaign signs around, I figured he was talking about the election, so I said that on September 4, I was predicting -a Conser- vative majority. He said, no, that's not what he was asking. he wanted to know about the baby. So I said, on January 7, 1985, I am predicting a big baby boy. Of course, I only have a 50-50 chance of being right on either prediction. Grand Bend Continued from page 16 cordion, while Margaret sang two solos entitled "You are My Reason to Live and Father, Lift Me Up."
