Stories
I need this new page!
So many wonderful, funny, endearing stories come to me from my new puppy owners, (even the "old" ones)!
I just love reading them but they are stuck in my email.
You can start reading them here as I get permission and copy/paste them in.
Hope you enjoy them as much as I do,

Dear Mother (Pearl) & Father (Winston),
Tomorrow I turn two years old. My Mom says that I will no longer be a puppy, but I still feel and act like a puppy.
At the top is a photo of me with the Christmas tree. The bottom branches were in my way so I rubbed against them and to my surprise they fell off. Mom didn’t seem as happy with this as I was. Now I fit under the tree just swell!
My favorite time of day is Frisbee time. I love playing Frisbee! We play every day! Doesn’t matter what the weather is like I have to play my Frisbee (snow, rain, heat).
Sundays are my favorite day of the week. My Mom stays home and we spend the morning taking a long walk (as long as it’s not snowing). We walk to town and visit some friends. My favorite spot to stop is the Chevron Gas Station. I get a lot of attention from the people around the gas station and the nice lady inside gives me a piece of beef jerky. When I first started visiting she tried to give me a Milk Bone, but I soon trained her. Beef jerky is much better than a Milk Bone. When we get home from our 3 mile walk I get to relax in the living room and chew my favorite bone. I am always happiest with something in my mouth!
Saturday are good too. My Mom volunteers at the local animal shelter and comes home with all these new scents on her. I don’t mind as long as she brings me a new treat home. She always does!
I am a very picky eater. I’m not thrilled with Dog Food and would much rather eat human food. I finally agreed with Mom that I would eat dog food if she would put one piece of sandwich meat in my food. Then I gobble my dinner up. Turkey is the best! Sometimes Mom runs out of meat and make sure she understands her mistake so I just don’t eat.
I never want my Mom to be lonely so I am always at her feet. Where ever she goes I am right next to her. It’s gets annoying sometimes when I’m all comfy and she has to get up for something. Sometimes I wish she would just stay in one place.
This spring Mom is adding a new fenced yard for me. She thought that she wouldn’t need the fenced yard and could teach me that when we went out to play to stay in the yard. The problem with this is that my girl friend lives next door. There is a nice wood fence that is so easy to get over that if my Mom isn’t watching I can be over at my girl friend’s house in a second. Mom doesn’t understand my need to go visit her. Anyway my Mom is putting in a large fenced in area so that when we play Frisbee I won’t have to be on a lead. The lead is okay until Mom gets in the way and I end up running around her and the lead wraps around her feet. She gets sort of mad when that happens!
My girl friend is an Irish Setter. Her name is Chole. Chole is a little younger than me. She always sneaks away from her house and comes and visit. We have so much fun playing together. One day Mom went inside the house for something and Chole took off my collar, which was attached to the lead. So then we ran around the property together. Mom came back out and made me come in the house. She didn’t seem to understand that we were having a lot of fun!
My best friend’s name is Cubby. He shares the property with me, but he is loose and I’m in my kenneled area. I love playing with Cubby, but he is older and doesn’t always appreciate it when I jump over him. Every night he comes over for Frisbee time. Sometimes I wonder if the only reason he comes over is for the milk bones. Obviously he has never had Beef Jerky! Mom says that I keep Cubby young.
Well, I just wanted to say hi and let you know I was thinking of the two of you. I love my home and I have a great life. I hope all is well.
Love,
Prince (AKA Kent)
