To Lucy Lou

Lucy Lou,

Thank you for coming to see me in the hospital. It was so good to finally meet you. You know you are kind of cute. Now don't let that go to your head. You need to look out for those BOY dogs.

I had to stay in the hospital for eight days. I wanted out of there really bad, but I do have to say everyone was good to me. They have real bad food there, you wouldn't like it. Maryanna would go get me something to eat now and then and that really helped.

I must keep going to get these X-rays, another thing to see inside of you. It's amazing and I really don't understand how they do that. There is something in my lung and they can't figure out what it is so I may have to have a Biopsy. I'm not sure how they do that and I'm kind of scared. Wish you could come with me so you could lick my hand. It's always good to have a friend with you. Maybe they will let Maryanna stay with me. Best idea yet is not to have a Biopsy at all.

Maryanna put up a Christmas tree. Does your Mistress put up a tree in the house and decorate it? Silliest idea I have ever heard of, but it is kind of pretty twinkling like that.

Are you getting any turkey leftovers for Thanksgiving? We are not cooking as one of our neighbors said that they will bring us a meal. Maryanna likes that idea as she gets tired of cooking for me.

I think I will go and rest now. I still tire very quickly. Be good to your Mistress and Master and don't eat too much over Thanksgiving. I will write again soon and hope to hear again from you too.

Hugs and prayers,
Clayton
