Rebecca%20(The%20Duchess)%20Apponey%2020110001, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. Greetings from The Duchess! Rebecca Apponey, our own Duchess, in a recent photo from her dog boarding and grooming business, in Granite City, Illinois. The Dutchess (her spelling) is still without phone service, and is thus offline. She greatly misses Buckles's Blog, and asks me by snail mail what's going on there. She wants her greetings extended to "Gary, Karen, John Goodall, and EVERYONE. Hope everyone is safe and healthy." The recent tornados barely missed her place, and she and her charges are thriving. Here is a great circus gal who dearly misses the old days, her show friends, and being current with the Blogsite. She loves mail, so... Write her at: Wee Wittle Woofies, 2702 Roosevelt Avenue, Granite City, IL 62040-1929 From Roger Smith
