BUDDY THE PUGGLE FORMERLY KNOWN AS "NICK"
BUDDY SPENT THE FIRST 15 MONTHS OF HIS LIFE IN A KENNEL OUTDOORS BEING BULLIED BY ANOTHER DOG. WHEN BUDDY ARRIVED AT THE SHELTER HE WAS WITHDRAWN AND NERVOUS OF EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING. BUDDY WAS VERY LUCKY THE DAY HIS NEW MOMMY AND DADDY CAME TO ADOPT HIM. BUDDY HAS THE GOOD LIFE NOW AND IS ENJOYING TRAVELING. WE RECENTLY RECEIVED THIS LETTER FROM BUDDY.
HI SHELTER GIRLS:
HOW ARE YOU, THESE DAYS? I,M DOING SO WELL, AND I KNOW I TOLD YOU I'D LET YOU KNOW HOW THINGS ARE GOING FOR ME, SO--FINALLY--HERE'S THAT LETTER I PROMISED YOU.
RUMTY FIZZER AND I GOT ALONG WELL RIGHT FORM THE START. SHE HAS BEEN SO KIND TO ME, AND HAS WATCHED OUT FOR ME EVER SINCE I ARRIVED AT MY NEW FOREVER HOME. WE PLAY A LOT, AND SHE LETS ME BOWL HER OVER AND EVEN LETS ME WIN SOME OF OUR WRESTLING MATCHES. SHE'S SUCH A SWEETHEART AND I LOVE HER VERY MUCH.
SHORTLY AFTER I ARRIVED HERE, MY NEW MOMMA BOUGHT ME A STUFFED TOY. HE'S A FLEA, AND HE'S ONE MEAN CUSTOMER. OH, HE WANTS TROUBLE ALRIGHT! I WANTED TO SHOW MOM AND DAD WHAT A GOOD CHOICE THEY MADE WHEN THEY PICKED ME, SO AS SOON AS I SAW THAT NASTY MR. FLEA I POUNCED ON HIM. HE PUT UP A GOOD FIGHT, BUT HE WAS NO MATCH FOR ME! I SOON HAD HIM YELLING "UNCLE"......WELL, SQUEAKING ANYWAY. THERE WAS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND WHATSOEVER THAT MR. FLEA WAS JUST BIDING HIS TIME..WAITING UNTIL WE ALL WENT TO SLEEP, THEN HE WOULD HAVE ATTACKED US ALL IN OUR BEDS!
AFTER ALL THE MANY RIDES IN THE JEEP,SUBARU AND THE NEW ESCAPE, I'M A SEASONED CAR TRAVELER. ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 29TH, I'M LEAVING FOR MY VERY FIRST TRIP TO MAUMEE BAY, ON THE SHORES OF LAKE ERIE. RUMTY HAS BEEN THERE TWICE BEFORE AND SHE SAYS SHE JUST LOVES IT. I'LL SEND YOU A POSTCARD WHILE I'M AWAY I PROMISE.
I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH SINCE ARRIVING HERE. MOMMA HAS TAUGHT ME A LOT, BUT RUMTY FIZZER HAS TAUGHT ME THE REALLY IMPORTANT LESSONS, LIKE "HOW TO BE NAUGHTY 101", AND "SUPPLEMENTING YOUR DIET THROUGH BEGGING 101". SHE SAYS I HAVE MUCH STILL TO LEARN ABOUT THE BEGGING TECHNIQUES, BUT YOU'LL BE PLEASED TO KNOW THAT I'M COMING ALONG WELL. YOU'LL ALSO BE DELIGHTED TO KNOW THAT I'M FAST BECOMING AN ACCOMPLISHED THIEF! YES, RUMTY HAS BEEN TECHING ME THIEVERY 101 AND SHE SAYS I'LL SOON BE READY FOR ADVANCED CLASSES......HOW'S THAT FOR PICKING UP QUICKLY! FIZZ IS SO VERY SMART, I SURE AM A LUCKY BOY TO HAVE HER FOR A MENTOR. JUST THINK, I WOULDN'T KNOW ANY OF THIS STUFF IF NOT FOR HER. SHE'S PROMISED TO TEACH ME ALL SHE KNOWS, AND YET FOR SOME STRANGE REASON I CAN'T QUITE FATHOM, MOMMA KEEPS SAYING "I HOPE FIZZ DOES'NT TEACH YOU ALL HER BAD HABITS!" I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT SHE MEANS....CAN YOU?
