Subject: {dbilg} Hello from River.
Hello,
Well, I'm writing to you while my people are away. They took that stupid bird
they call Marvin with them. Man! when we first got that dumb ring neck dove, he
was really sick. It made Momma cry and I tried to give lots of lovin' to her,
but I couldn't make it better. Since Marvin got sick, Momma worries about him
getting enough food and I don't like it when she feeds him people food. Momma
gives him bread and lettuce. Sure wish I could have the stuff inside the
bread--including the lettuce. I got to sneak some of Marvin's lettuce out of
the scooper Momma had. Yum Yum!!!I don't get people food off their plates. I'd
get sent to bed for a few minutes if I tried that. Some of what they're eating
sure looks good though.
that Marvin takes some of my cuddle time away from me. Momma tries to cuddle us
both but Marvin won't have it. He thinks I'll eat him. Eat him? I'd make him my
lunch but Momma would be soooooo mad at me. I just hate to make Momma sad or
mad, so I'll put up with that dove they call Marvin that takes some of my time
I used to have with Momma away. Well, I normally get to go with Momma
everywhere but they are going to this place where it's a small room and not
much work for me to do. So, I just stay here once in awhile. Momma wanted to
show that Marvin off to this person they are going to see. I don't know who it
is, but I wanted to go too. I whined when they left this morning and I hope
they won't be gone long. Oh well. At least they left toys to play with so it's
not so bad.
I sure am missing Momma, but since I've chewed on my chew toy long enough, I
thought I would write you. Well, they did leave the computer on and no one is
using it at the moment.
I love to go everywhere with Momma. I get to see all kinds of places and guide
her everywhere. I just love to see all the people. I like to go to this fun
place that Momma calls ILR because there are certain people that give me
attention all the time. there is this one guy that always gives me a pet and
talks to me, so I make noise for him. I just love people.
Well, Momma and Daddy also take me to this place called Oral Hull and guess
what? Marvin doesn't get to go. Ha-ha-ha-hahhahh. so, all the attention gets to
go to me that weekend and Marvin gets a bird sitter or he has to stay by
himself. I think Momma wouldn't let him stay by himself, but Daddy talks about
it sometimes .
During the summer it is fun at Oral Hull Park because we can walk neat trails
and hear lovely music. I like music. During the time of camping, we walk
everywhere like down to the picnic shelter and I wait while all the people are
eating and hope someone will slip me a piece. I don't beg or do any of that,
because I'll get in big, big trouble. I'm not supposed to take food from
strangers or anyone other than Momma. She's really firm about that and gets
grumpy when people try that one. She always notices too. Darn!!! Maybe one day,
she won't be so alert. Momma likes her family to be well behaved--including
Daddy. Sometimes she is a little bossy, but you didn't hear me say that. Daddy
and I love her a lot though. Anyway, I'm rambling. It's really fun at Oral Hull
and I always get grumpy the day we have to go. Well, at Oral Hull, we have fun
camping sometimes, but most of the times we have to go to these things called
board meetings. It's an okay time. Most of the time, I lie under the table and
go to sleep listening to those humans talking. I don't like those intense
meetings. Some of the men talk to Momma and each other in a short way. Don't
they know she's number one? Well, I don't dare growl or bark at them because
it's not good for us dogs like me to do that. there's this one dog that is like
me up there and Momma says we can't play when the other dog and I are working,
but I don't like that idea too well. I just hope to get to play with him one
day. We don't get to see that dog very often, but I do have another dog friend
I play with sometimes up there. When that happens, it's so much fun.
I love to play in my backyard. I used to play with some doggie friends, but
they all went away. I hope I get to play with a doggie friend soon, but I love
playing with Momma and Daddy too. Momma always tells Daddy not to play too
rough with me so I'll play nice with her. Darn! I like to play really rough
sometimes, but that's okay. I get to play with Momma in the Living room and we
cuddle. I know that dogs like me aren't supposed to get up on the furniture,
but I get to be on the couch with Momma and sometimes I get to sleep on Momma
and Daddy's bed with them. Other nights I sleep on the floor. I don't like
those nights. It's cold down there. I have to sleep on the floor all the time
at Oral Hull, because Momma says that we have to obey the rules. What
***ever!*** I still want to sleep on that bed. It looks like a comfortable spot
to me. Those humans should try sleeping in my place and see how they like it. I
get a blanket and rug. I just wad those up and push them aside because I want
the bed, darn it!!! I can't sit on the couch either. Oh well. To make up for
that, I'll just try to sneak a few small crumbs from the floor. Momma always
seems to know when I'm trying that. Rats!!!! That doesn't work either!! Well, I
guess I'll keep trying and maybe I can give a few of those people my wagging
tail and my smiling squinting look to see if they will pet me. Usually they
don't, but sometimes I can get them to do it.
I'm a well-loved dog and I'm glad to be with my people. I know they have the
Names of Sean and Todd. Whenever I hear someone call for Sean or Loreen, I
stand up ready to go. I don't stand up when people call Todd. I'm Sean's dog.
I have my secret ways of always knowing when a lift driver is coming to pick
Momma up before he even says her name, but I'll never tell. I'm very loved and
just wanted to write you to let you know that I guess I'll put up with Marvin.
He slaps my nose with his spikey clipped wings and pecks me when Momma can't
see it. That's not very nice. I sniff up at him sometimes and he gives me that,
"get away from me," look.
Well, I'm going to go. I think I hear the lift bringing Momma and Daddy, and
that Marvin back home. I left the house with a special smell from the bone I
chewed on for awhile this morning. Wonder what Momma will think? She will
probably say, "eeewww!!! that's gross!! What is that smell!? It smells like
poopoo!!! OOPS! I hear the key in the door. Gotta run. Bye!
Love River
