It was so much fun, we raced from your room down to play in Donné Roberts' room right afterwards. Didn't get to bed until 4am. Totally worth it!! What a blast. Thanks for having us 😄

As requested on "TIC Talk" this morning, SB. Meet "Dancer aka Dance". He comes from Bellville on Oct.10 (2 months, 2 days after Drake left us) at the age of 11 weeks old. A black labrador retriever who is named in memory of Drake's CKCU identity, The Dancing Labrador. Currently in home "Puppy Boot Camp" for the next several weeks, to be followed by his dancing lessons lmao. Thx for asking SB.

Thanks for the Woooot, Anne-Marie. I meant to call you. Wish I could have made it to The Delta. Dance is a handfull and a half. He is wonderful but boot camp will now keep me from Anniversary events that I was looking forward to and a number of planned stops at the studio to pump up donations. "Life is what happens when we are busy making other plans." As we have all experienced ! Thx for the love these past 2 months to you both and everyone else !!!!!!! 5 woofs to friends

AM, who do I contact to have the Canada Helps Donation page updated with a plethora of shows not in the drop down for their specific show page ie. this is Renny's last show and I want him to see my support and gratitude for all the years he has delighted his audience. We love and will miss Renny for all time !

Ah! All our show hosts are required to update their donation pages. You'll have to ask Renny to get on that. Post on his show page later today. Thanks!
