Today I have given the Blog over to Heidi, our Miniature Dachshund
*******************************
Heidi completely forgot.
When Heidi 2 she wrote letter to herself that she was to read when 4 1/2.
Big age for a girl dog, 4 1/2.
Maybe not quite so pretty then.
Should be in full swing of life by 4 1/2, not still starting it. Time for girl-dog to think and take stock of life.
Anyway, this letter I found the other day while hunt mouse in closet.
Dear Old Heidi:
Well, now you 4 1/2.
These are things that pretty 2 year-old you hope for old Heidi.
I hope you killed dumb squirrel in back yard. The grey one with annoying chirp. I hope you kill him dead with blood!!
I hope you killed many cats! Famous for killing cats!! Maybe on cover of prestigious magazine!!
I hope you also killed many, many mice, maybe able to make them slave to do your bidding. Give you their cheese.
Hope you figure out secret to opening door so to go for walks yourself, without stupid four-eyed-two-legged treat giver! He stink! Always bossing Heidi around, twitchy like scared of TV remote! Like it a ghost mystery! I hope you became leader of pack, or at least join much, much better pack. Heidi, if you still stuck in fart pack, I very disappointed. You deserve better!!
Hope you eat meat everyday. Hope that door to cold box, where pack food sits, open when you use mind. Meat, Heidi LOVE meat. Hope you not weird vegetarian dog that does yoga.
Hope you have good career now, maybe guide dog or rescue dog, and not just playing fetch and licking self all time.
Hope no more fleas. HATE fleas.
And Heidi, hope you found love– maybe with hot Jupiter from park, King of Frisbee catch– and have full litter of puppies!
Anyway, you all grown-up now, and I hope you happy, but I hope in busy life with busy career, you don’t forget the Heidi that used to be. Hope you still stop to roll in mud, dig for worm and chase squirrel even though now fat and ugly and can’t catch squirrel or pigeon or cat or mouse other animal.
Hope you still bark at moon!
And most of all, hope you never have to wear stupid little boots in winter with ugly sweater! Hate those!! Look like an old maid!
Hope you not an old maid.
Love,
Young, pretty Heidi
Old Heidi not feel very good about herself right now.
Need a treat, need somebody to tell her she Good Dog!
