The Benevolent Elders of The Teapot Club and Secret Society went into executive session in a secret location to ponder Norman's application. There was much arguing. Many thought that a svelt and muscular Yorkie would be a welcome addition to our oft-rotund club. However, in the end, Norman's application was tabled for the following reasons:

1) The required picture did not accompany the application.
2) "Almost 7 1/2 pounds" is a bowel movent and a vigorous walk away from falling under the minimum limit of 7 pounds -- especially for an athlete like Norman.
3) When doubt exists, we are forced to delay final approval of the application until Norman reaches 1 year of age.

We truly hope to add Norman if he maintains his weight until his birthday.
