Dear Tammie White.
< Saltillo >
Is your dog still running
around without a name?
Since you and your husband.
Timmy, have been so busy
moving into your new home,
and with your being part
owner of the Cuttery and
Timmy working at Rock
wall, you’ve been too
involved to name that dog!
We at Lowry 's tried to help
out with furnishing you w ith
beautiful “shadow soft'*
carpets and Whirlpool ap
pliances .. but still no name
Now Tammie. lets get busy
with some names What
about King .. or should it
be Queen. Joe or should it be
Jill. Butch, or should it be
Beir On second thought .
maybe we should stick to
selling homefurnishings in-
stead of naming dogs
Anyway. Tammie. thanks
for letting Lowry's have a
part in your new home and if
you just can't come up with a
name soon, we’ll see what
we can do.
Love,
Lowry's
