Critters, this is Emily. I'm writing on behalf of the hounds and cats at Hound Hollow. Please be careful. We are worried about what you'll discover in that musty, mildew ridden bog when the sun comes up. William is ready to go and help you, all you have to do is ask. Travis wants to help out as well - he's 9 months old now and he says his young eyes, nose and youth could be very useful to JoJo. Remember we are here to help and we are waiting to hear what happens next. Emily & the gang.

WOW! A family heirloom! I feel their pain of the sneeze and mildew, as I cleaned the water pipes next to my set tub down in the basement this weekend. It was gross and I don't know how many years of dust had accumulated! It's all gone now, thankfully. I'm hoping by cleaning it will cut down on the dust that causes my nose to run down there and the sneezing.
