WELCOME TO MY DOGGY WORLD!

I'm so excited that you have come to check me out. I'm not just an ordinary dog by any stretch of the imagination. In fact I'm rather special- even if I do say so myself. Not that life has been full of tummy rubs, doggy treats, or juicy bones. You might be surprised though at how much we have in common if you stick around.

Dear Sharon




Dear Sharon,
Hello!
I take my paw in hand to write you a note to let you know that I am alive and well. It has been a busy year for me since I left your house.
You will always have a special place in my heart for rescuing me after being abandoned. You gave me hope in my darkest hour. I will forever be grateful to you and your wonderful family for giving me shelter in your home until my Mistress could come and get me.
I am learning to act like a lady when visitors come, which is very hard as I have so much love to give. I have to restrain myself from covering visitors in doggy kisses, but I can now sit and shake a paw, which humans seem to prefer.
I still haven't taught the two cats in this house to play like a dog yet, but I am working on it. Meanwhile I keep them in place by letting them know who is boss.
I have become quite possessive of my home and am quick to let any stranger know whose territory this it. You wouldn't believe how fierce I can sound for my size. Outside the fence I keep all vehicles and strange animals chased off.
The best days are when my Mistress can work outside in her f lower gardens. Then I romp, chase squirrels, and explore every inch of my property.
Other days I keep my Mistress company resting at her feet while she is in the recliner or snoozing beside her in bed. Either way I make sure that she is safe and follow her wherever she goes.
The one time my Mistress left me with the Master while she went and spent a couple of days with her daughter's house I wouldn't eat or sleep, but laid on the couch watching the door until she returned. The next time she took me with her.
I have learned to trust the Master of the house and not be frightened of his loud voice. Each day I look forward to when he comes home from work as we play and roughhouse together. I've even taught my Mistress how to play doggy style.
I have a pen pal. He is a special friend of my Mistress, who has cancer. He loves to get letters from me and says that it makes his day.
While some might call me spoiled, I have to confess that I am quite the contented dog. I've regained my self esteem back and have put behind me the scary days of being abandoned, although I will never forget your kindness to me.
Well I'd better sign off for now as my Mistress needs to use the computer.
I send you lots of doggy kisses and furry hugs,
Lucy Lou
