Barkula

Hi Tina, (a.k.a. Barkula)
I think we should have a barking contest. I hate to brag but I know I would win!! I am always getting yelled at for barking. In fact, whenever my mommy or daddy opens the door for me to go outside, I hit the deck barking. They yell at me to stop, but hey, don't they realize it's my job to let the world know I'm out there. My daddy says that you should start practicing now for when I get there. Daddy says your mommy and daddy won't mind if you practice. In fact, that will be my excuse when I bark. I'll just pretend I'm practicing for our barking contest.
Love,
Sammy
P.S. Macy barks, too. But I definitely have her beat!

Santa's Gone

Macy and Sammy,

Santa's gone!! And, I ate all my Christmas goodies, so now I'm sad. But, I heard my mommy and daddy talking about you the other day.

They said you will be talking a long ride in the car. I'm jealous because I love to go in the car. I think you are coming to see me. This will surely mean lots of dinners and snacks. I will probably bark a lot because I'm Barkula. I just hope I don't get punished for barking and fighting. My terrier spirit gets me in trouble all the time.

Love,

Tina

Boring!!!!

Hi Tina,
We hate when it's January. All the excitement is over. Mommy and Daddy have gone back to work. We get stuck in our kennel all day. Then
we just lay around and do nothing! We were just wondering if you are bored, too - now that it is January!
Love,
Macy and Sammy

Yes!! Go! Go! Go!

Sammy,

You definitely have the right idea about presents. Grab them when you can and run fast to hide them. I can see that I need to get smaller packages for you so you can escape without anyone seeing you and putting your crime on video. Maybe this video will be educational for other dogs who need to learn how to handle a box that is nearly half their size.

Macy,

Where were you? That Sammy is quick and if you don't watch out, he'll take your presents. Be alert and watch out for him.

Glad you like the cookies. It broke my heart when they went in a box and then to the Post Office.

Love,
Tina

Christmas Fun

Hi Tina,

We are sad that Christmas is over, too. Our trees are all put away. Mommy and Daddy have been working taking everything down and then we get ignored. We had alot of fun and we really like the toys and treats you got us. We really, really love the cookies! We thought you might want to see what a hit they were. Hey, about Max - maybe Leroy will be jealous!

Love,

Macy and Sammey

It's Over and I'm Sad

Macy and Sammy,

I think Christmas might be over because all the trees and other stuff I have to walk around are gone. I have eaten all my presents, at least the ones you can eat. Now, I'm back to the usual Liva Snaps and Healthy Edible bones, but I don't care. At least there's something to eat. Yesterday was great because there was a busted-open watermelon on the road and I got two pieces before my mommy yanked me away from it. Hope it's still there today.

Bad news is there's a new dog on my street, nearly right across from my house. I'm barking at it right now because it's walking in my yard! Heard my daddy say it's some kind of terrier mix from the Humane Society -- name is Max. Looks like a wimp to me. I'm barking my head off and it's not even looking.

Tell your mommy to take you to one of the dog stores. If you bark, she can take you right back home. It's really fun and since you like to sniff packages and stuff, you'd love how the place smells.

Happy New Year
Tina
