On a very rainy Wednesday August 6th, over a dozen people and dogs came out for the opening of Chewed Toys Project including Howard from Edgecomb, Maine with his human friends Amanda and Andy. They arrived before I did, and I had Big Squeaky Squirrel and baby squeaky Squirrel with me, ready to hang. The day before, whenIinstalled the piece, I could not find BSS and BSS, because I had packed them away so securely they became invisible, temporarily. When I returned home, I went through my boxes again, and there they were in a special bag which had a card that said: to be returned to Howard".
I brought them with me the next day and upon arriving ascended the stairs to meet folks with their dog. Lo and behold, it was Amanda, Andy and HOWARD! I explained why the squirrels were not up yet, and replaced two scraps with the squirrels and they are clearly marked, so when i de-intsall, I'll find them easily with the others belonging to Gibson, Minmin and Cora, Mabel, and others who want their friends back! The image of the squirrel her is not Howard's but another dog's.
I also received a wonderful shipment from may in Arizona and will put her note and dog's names on the next post. For now here are some memorable images from the opening.
