Hello Douglas!
My name is Lucy and I live with Liz in Missouri. I think you're cute. If we were closer - we could play, but since we don't - will you be my paw-pen pal?
Arf, Arf -

Douglas you are so funny I think you could have your own blog! Always remember though that we are laughing with you and not at you as I know how you would hate that - my cats are the same. You did a great job filling in for Vanessa while she is so busy. It's amazing how well you have conquered English and typing as well,you clever dog! Loved your post, you're too cute!

Barbara

Dear Douglas, guess what MY mother has done? Had ALL my hair cut off yesterday without asking me (but at least she let me sit right in front of the gas heater last night!) A woof and a sniff from your friend, Snowy Westie in Melbourne.

maggie
