“You Win!”

No Elaine F., we all win!

She adds, “I started playing the hand slap game (aka hot hands) to help my dog Lucy, a rescue, come out of her shell and do some seo services. Doggie SEO, you know? Now she’s a pro! She will challenge anyone to a game!”

    Lucy looks like our first puppeh Kayla (RIP) who also loved to play. YEA for rescues and rescuers. Lucy and Elaine = many happy years.

      Our beloved cat Cooper (RIP), used to play this with me. He never ever used his claws – and still always managed to win!

    Skippy is good at this game, but he takes it way too seriously so I don’t often do it with him.
