Pink Girl:
Your apology is accepted. Now that I think about it, perhaps question No. 5 was a bit of an IQ test. If you answer it, you are wrong.

Oh Gerri .......
There are still some dog-owner names required:
6. Sam and his sister
8. Chase and Scamp
12. Chelsea
13. Lucy
14. Floydie and Lucky
19. Pom-Pom
Now Lee must be staying away from this quiz because I know for certain
that he knows #19 ... no research needed.
As for #8, I might need to give some hints ... possibly their names were mentioned in the TipToe thread ... the hint will be something about their
owner's eye brows or maybe about a shipwreck ... I'm not sure yet.

There are only two left Gerri because Chrisy answered the last one
about Pom-Pom. Here are some hints: Lucy was a bassethound and
Floydie and Lucky's owner lives in Wilmington, Delaware. Does that
help????

I have the last two:
13. Lucy ----> Marejo
14. Floydie and Lucky ----> MJo
I hope others join in the next time a quiz is posted - it makes it a lot more challenging and fun to find the answers.

Well ... almost Gerri. Marejo had Murray and Hondo. Lucy belonged
to Basset Girl (that was my hint) and her name is Nancy.
But ... you still win the prize for all of your correct answers.
Good job ... again!!!!

Well .... good effort Vickie!!! But the names are sort of more

Wait...I think I hear Fed Ex pulling up with my Bunny Bowl (filled with chocolate)........wrong. It was the UPS truck delivering my Xeolda in a blue dog shaped bowl...Okay, I'll wait by the fence and flag down any passing motorists who may be carrying any bunny paraphenalia (sp?)..I feel lucky, today.
Thanks for the quiz, I always loved being challenged (other than cancer, that is) Love, Vickie
