Dear Miss Susan,

Thank you for including my letter on your wonderful website. You wanted to hear about further progress with my husband and son so I am mailing to tell you, if that is alright. After mailing you, I started to think that maybe petticoating was not a good idea, that it
might have been weird, as many other people seem to think. However, I changed my mind when my husband was out of town and my son was about to go to a sleepover at a friend's house. He accidentally ripped his underwear, and rudely ordered me to get some more from the dryer.

Not thinking, I went down stairs to the washroom, only then becoming angry at him. On top of the dryer I saw his messy pile of
cotton boxers and my neater pile of satin and silk panties ( I must confess I overindulge myself at Victoria's Secret.) I grabbed a pair
of lacy blue panties and took them upstairs to his room, and told him to put them on. He asked me if I was sick, and then went and
got his own boxers from the dryer and left. Needless to say, I was infuriated. Once he left I began plotting. I opened up a trunk of my
old clothes from my high school days (the 60s) and started removing the most feminine clothes. I then emptied his closet into the
same trunk, and filled the closet up with my 'sixties pretties, and his underwear drawers with the revealing lingerie I used to treasure so much.

When he came home the next day he had to change clothes, and was shocked to find such things in his closet. I had taken
away the clothes he had worn before his shower, so he was standing there naked with no choice. I was standing in the room
watching, to make it worse. He pleaded with me, but I refused. I watched him timidly pull a pair of panties up his legs ( I noticed he
was becoming aroused) and then remove the most masculine thing he could find - a tight white V-neck top and a denim skirt. I told
him that I would not allow him to wear girl's clothes without girl's underwear. Without even arguing he put on a bra to match the
panties (to make the bra stick out I filled the cups with a few pairs of rolled up panties, this arousing him even more).

Once he was dressed he started crying, and, even though I was starting to fell remorse, I told him, 'Don't worry you'll never have to dress like a big mean boy again'. Since then he has been very quiet and subdued, and as I write he is in the living room watching TV in a casual dress. This is working marvelously.
Sincerely,
Regina

It sounds like things are progressing swimmingly, Regina, and that you are learning fast the advantages of petticoat government in the home. Keep me informed. 

Dear Miss MacDonald,

I enjoy your efforts.  Perhaps this will be of interest.

I'm in my late seventies. Up until age six or seven, all boys were forced to wear cotton or wool stockings to school, with shorts.  The
stockings were held up by a single garter in front (or a pair in a Y) usually hung from an over the shoulder bodice.  The stockings were never long enough, and the stocking tops and garters showed under the shorts. I protested many times to my mother that the stockings should be longer and better gartered (like the girls' stockings), but to no avail.

Finally, in desperation, I snitched a pair of my older sister's much longer stockings, and put them on after  adjusting the garter straps to their shortest length, and I must say that I loved the feeling.  But they needed four garters rather than the two on my bodice.

I then snitched one of my sisters garter belts, and really enjoyed the way the stockings looked and felt; they were completely covered by the shorts. In this outfit, I presented myself for breakfast, and told my mother this was the way I wanted to dress if I had to wear stockings.  Mistake! My mother said that if I wanted to dress like a girl, I should really dress like a girl.  That night she made me dress as I have described, then forced me to wear my sister's petticoat around the house as well. This went on for a week.  After that, I endured the too short wool stockings as the lesser of two evils, but was very happy to graduate to knickers shortly.

Now if your mother had fully petticoated you, and made you wear a pinny as well, I bet you would have loved the feeling even more than just wearing girls' stockings and garter belts. A pity that she didn't take the opportunity when it presented itself so clearly. Petticoat discipline was much more common in your childhood than it is today, but hopefully the growing success of 'Petticoat Discipline Monthly' can change that. 

You asked your readers their opinion of Penelope's working clothes.  As a faithful reader each month I will say that I agree with you that Penelope should be dressed in her 'show costume'.   I thought that both the summer and winter outfits were very pretty, and function quite nicely in keeping Penelope in the proper submissive frame of mind for her beloved wiife.

I would think that Penelope would have her hands full, what with her housework, and keeping her dress in order, such as no petticoats showing, bloomers in proper position, and not knocking things over with her full skirt. Of course this would also give her wife plenty of opportunity for correction and discipline.

Shouldn't the submissive male be denied the modern, more free, style of female attire that women now have at their disposal?  Shouldn't he have to deal with the more old fashioned way of being dressed that used to be the norm for women years ago?
Such as petticoats, corsets, girdles, stockings attached to garters, and full skirted dresses, and of course the pinnie, the final symbol of servitude?
Georgina

Yes, most certainly the clothing worn by the submissive male should be of an old fashioned and very feminine nature. The clothing worn by Penelope is exemplary in this regard, as you have pointed out.
 

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me, and thank you for your interest in using my letter. Yours is such an important job! I know for sure that the more males that are petticoated, the better place this world will be.  I can say that at first I was scared and humiliated, and resisted with everything I had.  But though I am thoroughly male, I have come to realise that I am a much calmer, nicer, and decent person when my masculinity is completely taken away. Though I don't want any of our friends to know, and am terrified of being seen by others while in a dress, I have come to realise how important petticoating is.
Thank you again.  Sherry and I regularly visit your site.  It is absolutely a wonderful site.
Michele

This is a further letter to 'A Wife in Full Control', featured in this issue. Michele is thankfully one of those males who fully appreciates, and is grateful, for his dress discipline, despite his implication at the end of the original letter that he would escape if he could. After experiencing the exquisite joys and humiliations of petticoat discipline, most males would be absolutely lost without it. 

I don't have much to do with sissy boys, but am greatly in favor of keeping 'little girls' of any age in diapers and frilly petticoats. A
friend sent me the link to your pages to see Mary Beth's article on the Petticoating of Girls. I will probably return to your site and may consider writing something myself, primarily because I appreciate the literate tone which is conveyed throughout your pages.

I loved your comment at the end of Saffy's piece this month: 'I think that there should be a word for a lexical error which openly displays the writer's total ignorance of the origin of the expression he is using'. May I suggest that it's a 'dimwitticism'?
Lady J.

Thank you for the suggestion, and I am also sure that you will enjoy reading Letter 7 in the current issue, in which Mary Beth offers very detailed advice regarding the petticoating of naughty girls. These days, given how modern girls dress, it can be just as devastatingly effective as the petticoat punishment of boys. 

Dear Miss MacDonald,

Once again may I congratulate you on another superb issue. My thanks to Miss Champagne for mentioning my letter,
I am most flattered that it is considered worthy of her mention. I read her letter with interest, as the relationship between Miss Champagne and her submissive seems very like my relationship with Kate. Would it be too much of an imposition to request that she write more about her relationship? I was also most impressed with the work that Miss Lesley has done with Penelope. She must feel truly gratified.

I accessed the 'Dancecenter' site and found it most interesting. What I find also most interesting is the fact that they are not expensive. I have experience of mail order from the States (Peter Panties) and can say that they are invariably cheaper, even when mailing cost are included. The kind of panties shown on the Dancecenter site would cost £20 - £30 here. Perhaps our suppliers should stop ripping off a vulnerable market. I am quite prepared to go into a shop and buy panties, but many men will not, and the
really frilly items are not in the mainstream stores anyway. I do not condemn all suppliers here, but the reasonable ones are hard to find.
Your servant Ma'am,
Charles

Dancecenter does have luscious pettipants in short and longer styles, and they would certainly conquer any male who was put into them. The prices are generally much better than those obtaining in these isles, and are a good reason for ordering by mail from the United States. 

Dear Miss Susan,

First, thank you for you wonderful site!  My wife and I read it monthly, and Ms. Dyann has really enjoyed trying some of the suggestions found in the letters you have published to further her control, and my submission. That said, I am writing to find out when the May postings might be coming out.  Ms. Dyann and I so look forward to reading them together we can hardly wait from month to month.  Keep up the excellent work!
Barry/Sondra

Many couples where the wife runs the household with a firm but loving rule are benefiting from the methods and suggestions which are featured every month in this magazine. Please write to me, Sondra, and tell readers a bit more about your petticoated ordeals. 

Over the years I have noticed that, on the average, most young boys will try on girl's clothes once or more times in their lives. To have this happen, it is best to leave the girls' clothes in an out-of-the-way room where the boys play. The clothes have to be in bags or boxes with only a piece of clothing showing, and curiosity will do the rest for you. Then there is Hallowe'en, probably one of the best ways to get that boy into petticoats and he'll love it - why? Because it is Hallowe'en, and his friends are doing it too.

Now, if a male child is looking under the girls' dresses, and spankings have not worked, then it is time for 'petticoat discipline'. See, even I can agree with petticoat training for bad or misbehaving boys.
Best wishes,
Dennis

Miss Susan MacDonald,

You were right, I agree full heartedly with the letter on the petticoating of girls. There is one more reason why I agree with it. She not only petticoated her son, but her girls too. I do not like one sided laws, a rule or law is like a double edged sword. It cuts both ways. It applies to both sides equally, not just to the boy or just to the girl, but to both. I am a parent and any rules I lay down to my children apply to Mom and me too. I find it makes for a happier home life.

I am sure that your readers, as well as myself, understand that sometimes you are just too busy to keep up with your correspondence, and we do understand that. But thank you for caring about your readers.
 
I found the title of the painting on your 'Table of Contents' page. It is a painting by Helen Allingham of her son Harry in a pink dress with a white pinafore, sitting with his elder sister during the 1850s. Thank you again for a lovely magazine, and a great editor and hostess.
Best wishes,
Dennis

Thank you for your further thoughts, Dennis, and thank you for the charming baby photo that you contributed. Another reader wrote to me identifying the painting, but the letter is still in my 'In' tray. I think I will have more time this month to attend to my backlog of correspondence. It is always nice to hear from you.

Thank you very much Susan,

I have been reading your May issue, and I see that you mention Richmal Crompton's 'William' in your reply to the fourth letter. I used to enjoy those stories, especially one which I remember perfectly. I wonder if you know which book it came from, as I'd love to track it down.

William manages to fall into a stream and gets soaking wet. A woman takes him in and gives him a bath, but then offers the only thing she has for him to dress in while his clothes are dried - a little girl's party dress, of course! William sulks furiously but has to allow himself to be dressed in it. The woman finds the sight of him in this dress so amusing that she goes out to fetch her neighbours around to come and see him. William can't bear this to happen, and he bolts, thinking he'd rather risk making his own way home as he is, than be made fun of by this woman and her friends. But of course, he finds the journey fraught with embarrassment.

There was an illustration in the book, of an old man on a park bench, laughing his head off at the extraordinary sight of this scowling boy in a dress - 'You must have come from the circus!' he exclaims. A wonderful little tale!
R.

I know that I discussed 'William' at some length in discussion of a letter that was published in one of last year's issues, but I can't recall which letter it was. I loved the books when I was young, and I do remember the one where William had to wear the frilly party frock, and there was even a picture of William in it, and he looked just darling. I must try to trace it when I have time, and reproduce the drawing in these pages.

'Just William' was presented on television by the BBC in the 1980s, and the performance of Bonnie Langford as Violet Elisabeth Bott is still spoken about today. She was so prissy; it was just marvellous.
 

Dear Susan,

Following on from my success at the weekend I would like to progress further as a maid. I think that I am going to establish myself as a housekeeper/cleaner fairly easily. I hope to do the kitchen and laundry on the weekend to a brilliant standard so that my other half - dare I say mistress - will always like me doing the housework. But I think that to be a true maid I need to attend to her personal requirements more.

I am thinking that I should iron her clothes, help her dress, give her manicures, pedicures and massages, help her bathe, dry her from the bath/shower, dry and brush her hair, help her shop for clothes, cook more, make cups of tea on command.

And she knows to give good smacks if I have done the jobs well, but hard smacks if I fail. Hairbrush perhaps? Is there anything that I have forgotten - anything else that a ladies' maid and female attendant should do? I want her to think of me so much as a maid that the idea for the uniform and apron should just come naturally to her..

How do you think I am progressing - not too fast or slow I hope?
Please advise,
Annafrid 

Too fast I would say. Do not become intrusive, or your partner will be fatally put off. Just take it gradually - I am sure that most times she would prefer to dry herself after a bath. Submissive males who write to me need to appreciate that privacy is often greatly preferable to a fussily attentive housemaid. You need to do the things that make your mistress happy.
 

Dear Susan,
 
I too have been unable to open the Miss Chameleon Fantasy Fashions site.  Like Martin I am unable to open it with Explorer, and get a program error if I try.  Do you have any suggestions on how to enter this site?  Any help will be much appreciated.
 
Congratulations on 'Petticoat Discipline Monthly'.  I was not aware that so many people felt the same way as me.  I am an adult baby, who has only come out in the last few years.  I find the feeling of a warm nappy makes me feel very secure, and is very calming, and when I am able to wear a dress, it is like going into a totally different world. Recently my wife has encouraged me into frilly panties that we have bought from D. S. Dolls, and camisole tops that she has made herself.  These are encouraged to be worn on all non-working days.  They are seventh heaven to wear.  I am told that I am so much calmer.
 
I am so happy that I am not the only person in the world that feels the same.  I do really appreciate all your efforts and the support that you give to both husbands and wives.
 
I am intrigued to now where Lesley obtained the pink pinafore and pink blouse from for Penelope?  They look so very special.  Are they on general sale, or where did she get them made?
Thank you again for all your hard work.
Yours,
Belinda

Many males to find a thick soft nappy very relaxing and calming to wear. Your wife sounds like a treasure. As for where Lesley obtained those remarkable garments for Penelope, it is over to her. I haven't heard from her in a while, but I am sure that she will write again.
 

Dear Miss MacDonald,
 
Once again you have edited a great issue of 'Petticoat Discipline Monthly'.  I do not know of any site that is equal to yours, and each month you make it better and better.  Please keep up the good work.  I have only one question.  I know you do not care for
spanking: but how can you keep on putting up with all those harebrained ideas from the typing pool, and not take a strap to get at the seat of the problem!
 
Anyway, my note is to congratulate you on a job well done, and to request a favor.  In the General Correspondence section you
received a letter from Christine with the title 'Frilly Pettipants for Hubbies'.  In the first sentence she said that she and her partner had played the Christmas Game.  Since I was the one who wrote the game, I would love to hear from couples that played the game.  I
would like some feedback.  I am attaching a note to Christine, and if you approve of the note after you read it, would you please forward it to her and her partner.  I would be most grateful.
Love
Cissy Williams

Dear Christine & Hubby,

I am sending this note to you by way of Miss MacDonald.  I do not wish to intrude upon your privacy, but I must say I am curious and would be honored if you would be so kind as to send me a reply.

I see in the May issue of 'Petticoat Discipline Monthly' you sent a note to Miss MacDonald about “Frilly Pettipanties for Hubbies.” You recommended the Dance Center in the State of Washington.  I have visited their site often but to date have not ordered.  Thank you for the recommendation.

Your first comments in your letter was what really grabbed my attention. Did you and your partner really play the game “The Twelve Days of Christmas Game” as described in the Christmas issue of 'Petticoat Discipline Monthly?  I am the author of the game, and would love to hear from all couples that played the game.

Did you use the 'Rewards and Penalties' I suggested, or did you make up some of your own?  Whatever you added or changed, I am sure would improve the game. What experience was the most fun?

What were the gifts chosen, and do you insist on matched “undies” after the game is over?  What parts of the game were best, and what parts needs improvement?

I enjoy this sort of thing, but often feel I am alone, and have little response for the effort.

Thank you in advance for indulging me a question or two.
Love,
Cissy Williams

I get so much correspondence that I could not trace Christine, even though I do not throw anything out. But I had not added her to my e-mail address book, which I usually would have done. If any readers, not just Christine, who played the 'Twelve Days of Christmas Game' could write to me, I will pass on your letters to Cissy.

With regard to giving the petticoated.com employees a smack on the bottom, I fear that I would have Miss Gribble to deal with if that ever happened, and I can assure you that Miss Gribble makes Mr Prescott look like a milksop.

I do enjoy Saffy's column.  I was just playing with the words 'surfeit' and 'sore feet' as a rather poor compliment to his work. Another good author is Lewis Thomas (Lives of a Cell, Paradigms Lost).  I think Saffy would find quite a bit of enjoyment in
Paradigms Lost. After all, losing twenty cents can hardly be considered a disaster! (English translation: in America, ten cents is often called a dime, hence 'Pair-of-dimes Lost'.  I guess you could call it a metric joke too.  That way it can bridge the continents).  

You have no need to apologise for anything from what I perceive.  You give so much, and so willingly.  I enjoy Saffy's column, the articles on horse racing, and all else that you do to make and keep the publication viable and lively. Also, I have as much interest in petticoating as I do in baby ways.

I may go into my adventures with my Hillman Minx at some time, if only to provide you with some amusement. Keep up the good work and, best of all, remember to enjoy each moment.
May God bless you each and every day,
Baby Janet

P.S.  It's early here (5:30AM) and this missive may appear a little rushed and jumbled.  Please forgive me for that.

Thank you for the nostalgic and entertaining 'Burmashave' contribution (see Saffy's Corner), and I will certainly watch out for books by Lewis Thomas. He is new to me. AND I would love to hear about your Hillman Minx adventures - those wonderful little British cars were quite a success in the United States, something of which many of my readers may not be aware. 

Dearest Susan,

Just a short update. John continues to make progress he is almost completely back to his old self. He has even began to show interest in my project of adjusting our grandson's attitude. Donald has shown a marked change since Christmas when he started his diaper discipline. He has now graduated from little girls' dresses to wearing regular kilts, and skirts with combination bloomers five days a week, but of course he still has wear trainers with vinyl panties to school, and diapers under plastic bloomers every night. The combo bloomers pattern I sent you a picture of are the most effective form of petticoating I have ever encountered. Enough for now details later if you wish. Have you received your bloomers yet?
Forever in your debt, lovingly yours.
Mary Beth

Dearest Susan,

We just finished reading the May issue as usual it was excellent. I am glad you included my letters praising Kurt's bloomers they really are the best. I don't agree that the nylon bloomers are the best for petticoating Either the acetate or rayon bloomers are much better, because they can and should be worn all day seven days a week for the best effect. The nylon bloomers are fine for special occasions.

I would be happy to pass on some advice for Victoria Russell on how to adjust her granddaughters attitude on proper attire for young  ladies I need some information first:

1. How old are the girls?
2. Does  Victoria sew?
3. Does she have anyone to help her with the girls?
4. What are the girls' favorite styles?
5. It may involve some expense, is it worth it?
6. Lastly it may require some drastic measure i.e. diapers and plastic panties is she willing to consider this?
That was the most effective method with our children and grandchildren. Donald is living proof of that today.

I sent you an email from the Vermont Country Store, they sell cotton and nylon bloomers too.
With our best wishes,
Mary Beth and John

The bloomers available from the Vermont Country Store are very good. This letter was written before Mary Beth wrote a full answer to Victoria, which is Letter 7 in the current issue. 

Thank you so much for publishing my letter in your May issue. I just wanted to pass on a Maids outfitters web site at: 

from whom I have purchased, and was delighted with the product and the turnaround. You will never find a better packaged product when you receive it. Check out the personalised monogram available on the uniform; it makes any self respecting maid tingle when she sees 'her' name on her uniform!
Yours,
Jennifer
njdruml@aol.com

It looks a first rate supplier, and I have been in touch with the owner. I think it is definitely worth adding to the 'Links', and I hope that things will be back to normal soon. 

Dear Miss Susan,

I have question about a couple of spanking posters that were in the 'General Correspondence from our Readers' section in Volume 2 No 4, April 2001. The readers name was 'Janet', and I must say that I loved those two pictures of young ladies in their petticoats. Do you know if there will be any more posted, or to do have a forwarding email for me? Well once again, I love your web site, keep up the good work. In the future I will share some of my own experiences of the spanking and petticoating of bad boys.
Lots of love,
Linda

I have put those two posters, plus two more from Janet, onto their own page. They are worth featuring each month, and Janet does have more that she will contribute from time to time. 

As a man who thinks that petticoating is very necessary (it is also something I would be honored to have forced upon me), I have read your magazine with great interest, and thought I would write you about something good that I saw. My next door neighbor has two kids: James (12) and Jillian (16). James was a holy terror, and I would often see him start fires in his backyard. In the neighborhood that I live I often run in the morning, and stop by the high school bus stop and converse with the kids. And one Sunday I saw Jillian and James coming down the road, and noticed the dress that James was wearing. He was also wearing makeup, smeared from tears. I asked what was going on and Jill told me that he had messed up her closet while looking for her CD player, so she had dressed him up in her quite stylish, and very attractive, clothes.

He looked very girlish, and I soon noticed that Jill had sewn the zipper shut on the dress so that there was no way that James could take it off without his sister's help. He wasn't dressed up like a sissy, but I think any girls' clothes will do him some good. I talked with her awhile about it after school was over the next day, and she wondered why I was so interested. Obviously, I haven't told her, but I would be honored to have James' fate.
Sincerely,
Alan

I hope that if he gives his big sister any more trouble she will dress him up as a real little sissy, with lots of fluffy petticoats and ribbons and bows. That will have an irresistable effect, and definitely ensure that he is more respectful towards her from then on. 

Dear Miss Susan,

I discovered your wonderful site today, and with my Princess' / wife's permission, I would like to tell you and your readers how I became her pantied servant.

Like many husbands I have always been enthralled with my wife's lingerie, especially her panties. When we were first married, my idea of a perfect gift for her was usually some sort of frilly, less than comfy undies. I also had a weakness for submission. We would play at 'Princess and servant', and several years ago I begged and begged her to allow me to become her full time servant.

She agreed, but only on her conditions. If I wanted to serve her I had to relinquish all hope of sexual gratification. She wanted my only motivation to be her pleasure, and at age 45 that was primarily a clean house and good meals. She would control all of her pleasure and mine, if any. I was trained to worship her panties. She decided that as long as she was now in charge that she would wear only panties that she found comfortable: these are plain, full cotton briefs. She trained me to focus all of my attention on them. Now my greatest reward is that each night, when she goes to bed, I am allowed to wear her panties from that day. I hope to hear from you in the near future if you care to respond.
Humbly,
Joseph

I am sure that this new relationship has renewed your marriage - there is nothing quite like introducing petticoat discipline to revive a long standing marriage; it really does work wonders. I am sure that your marriage will be full of excitement and pleasure from now on. 

We really enjoyed your article about Seattle Slew.  I don't know if Timmy told you, but we are very good friends with the trainer.  The sad story is that the owners thought they knew more than the trainer and the horse, and ran him into the ground.  A good horse can create the worse in people, by giving them big egos.

There is one race you may not be familiar with, and that is the 1980 Preakness (the second leg of the Triple Crown).  The great filly Genuine Risk had just won the Kentucky Derby, and went on to run the Preakness.  She was the first filly to win the Derby since 1915, when it was won by the great mare Regret.  Genuine Risk was a beautiful chestnut with a white blaze and stockings.  Her long legs and big heart enabled her to beat the colts every time out.

The break at the gate went off well, with Genuine Risk laying in the middle of the pack.  Half way around she moved up, but was forced to go wide around the front pack.  Codex, a colt from California who didn't run in the Derby, also made the same move ahead of her.  When they came out of the final turn and into the finishing straight they were in front of the other horses.  Jacinto Vasquez, her rider, now asked her for her finishing run, moving up on Codex.  When Angel Cordero saw this he moved his mount, Codex, out away from the rail to force the filly even wider.  When this didn't stop her from gaining on the colt with every stride, Cordero swung his whip back and hit the filly in the face leaving a cut under her eye.  This shut her out, she wouldn't go by him and finished second in the race, ending her chances of winning the Triple Crown.

There was a protest filed, but the stewards let it stand saying this was race riding.  I've seen other race tracks pull a horse and jockey down from the tote boards for rough riding, but Pimlico Racetrack never did, and Angel Cordero knew this.

The owners took it to court and still lost the motion, given the fact that Pimlico only produced part of the videos, leaving out the scene of the mugging.  So I guess all's fair in love and horse racing.  I still believe that she would have won the Triple Crown that year, had her heart not been beat.

On to other things, we read your latest issue from front to back and were delighted to find readers of like minds.  It's so nice to see that other people love your site as much as we do.  We want to send you some pictures of an item we got at auction, and know your readers will enjoy them too.

We went to an auction this past weekend and found a real treasure, a doctor's old examination table, stirrups and all.  When I saw that, I knew I had to have it.  I didn't want to be the first bidder, but when nobody bid on it at five dollars I had to raise my hand.  The auctioneer laughed and said, 'Now here's a lady who has plans for this table'.  The crowd laughed and so did I, (if they only knew).  Then more people jumped into the bidding at one dollar increments.  I was the last bidder at (would you believe) 26 dollars.  No
one really wanted it except me.  A few people, their curiosity peaked, asked what I was going to do with the table.  'I always wanted to play doctor', I said, 'and now I can'.  I smiled at them with a wide grin and patted the table.  They sheepishly smiled back turning red in the face.  Now I was the talk of the auction.

When we got it home, we scrubbed it down and took it upstairs to the third floor where our nursery is.  I was keen on trying it out.  I told Timmy to hop up on the table, he was going to wear his nappies for the rest of the day.  The table was great, no more bending over on a low bed to change him.   His legs bent up and his feet in the stirrups made nappying real easy.  A real treasure if I must say so.  In a few weeks I'll send you pictures.   Until then.
Warmest regards,
Anne and Timmy

What happened to her in the Preakness Stakes was vicious and absolutely tragic - in England that jockey would never have seen the inside of a racecourse again. She ran a close second, and despite such a brutal attack, she started in the Belmont Stakes and again finished second. It is possible that if she had been treated fairly in the middle leg of the Triple Crown she might have taken all three, which would have been a stupendous achievement. She was one in a million.
