During my carefree days as a young pup, I met and fell in love with a handsome "older" pup up the street. While he was only six months older than me, it was a forbidden love from the start!
Not only was he older but he was also a different breed, something that AKC and our families frowned on. I have secretly carried a torch for my handsome man for almost seven years now but I have to get on with my life. I can understand the family trying to keep us apart but I cannot over look the fact that he shares his home with another. Like any other female who feels betrayed, I have decided to go public with my feelings so that I can experience closure and put this all behind me.
I was only 4 months old when I wrote these letters, I should have known then that he was just a gigolo.
Dear Sparkey,
I realize you've only been gone a couple of days but I miss you already. My new humans seem to be nice but I miss you. You are the only other "fur kid" I know and I desperately need someone who is experienced with humans to talk to. I don't know if it's too soon to start training my new humans, or if it's time to start training, where do I begin?
There is a lot of jumping up and down and going from room to room. My little paws are sore from all the running I have to do to keep up with them. How can I do a good job when I can't keep up with them? I am still a little girl with little feet and I can only take small steps. I need a nappy but I am afraid that I will be fired if I try to catch 40 winks.
On top of everything I have to learn at my new house, I have to guard your house, water the plants and check your toys while you are away.
I am sending you a picture of me so you can look at it everyday so you won't forget me. I miss you,
Michele
Dear Sparkey,
I wish you were here right now, I need the benefit of your experience. Some more humans came here from a place called New York and they do not seem to be in a hurry to go back to that place! One of the humans is shorter, almost my size, do you think it's a toy for me to play with?
Now I have more humans to guard and I still have to check your house and your toys. I am working my paws off, I am so tired that I fell asleep in the middle of playing with my humans...and I couldn't stay awake to eat my dinner.
I heard the humans talking about taking me "out front". I don't know what that means but I am sure I will end up with more work to do.
Please hurry home, I need help with al of my new jobs.
I still miss you,
Michele
Dear Sparkey,
Well I am happy to report that all is well at your house and no one has touched any of your toys, except me. I had to count them to make sure none was missing. As far as I can tell, the plants are still alive. I can't be certain because I am too short to see the top of the counter yet.
I am still under a lot of stress, those two humans from New York are still here, so my guard duties have doubled. The tallest one is Aunt Jo and she is nice to me but when I go in the room where all the good smells are, she yells "get out of the kitchen" at me. What does she mean by that? I have to go in that room to eat and get a drink of water.
I have to get off this computer before my humans get home. I miss you a lot and I can't wait to see you again. I am sending you a picture of me doing the dishes so you can see how hard they make me work.
Michele
