Poor Marley

Marley really wants to go to the gathering with me. He's really bummed he can't. In fact, he told his mother he would just croak if he couldn't go. Maybe he exaggerates...

Anyway, I told him I would take him if she would just let him go, but she won't so I can't. But I did tell him I would make it up to him - somehow!

Maybe I can come up with an idea between now and then - if you want to help poor Marley, ask me at the gathering how YOU can help!
