Happy Endings - Beauregard

July 20, 2009

Dear Ms. Wanda,
       I just wanted to send you an update on my new life. Sorry it has taken me awhile to write. I do think of you and hope all of my former friends at Sweetpea are doing well. Hopefully they too have found new homes.
        I am doing GREAT! It was nice to be home for the holidays. It was my first Christmas... with my new family. What fun.  I will admit I did have some adjustment issues at first. (We won't mention biting, counter surfing, stealing food, or sleeping on furniture.) What can I say, I LOVE home-cooking. Chicken and meatloaf drive me wild. with a lot of love and limit setting, I have made great strides. I do tolerate those two cats. They're really not so bad. I still can't help myself, I do steal their food.
        I did have my "procedure" done and had to wear that ridiculous cone. I also had a nasty case of "worms". Not fun. Talk about stomach upset. I have gained some weight. My fur is very soft and shiny. As you can see from my photo, I am one FINE looking dog.
        I am faster than fast and love running and playing. I have three acres to run free. I love tracking and chasing squirrels, chip monks and "critters". I get lots of fresh air and rest. I sleep on my own bed upstairs with the kids at night.
        I love to go for rides in the car and never pass up an opportunity to go for a ride. I'm showing better control at not barking ferociously at motorcycles, policemen, the gas attendant, and traffic cops. I'm more respectful. I have come a long way.
        I'm on vacation this week. with my friend, Charlie. He is a beagle. It's great to have friends. I love my new family and they sure love me. It must be my wonderful personality. Ms. Nancy says, "we sure got lucky with him." I couldn't agree more.
       Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me to find my new family. I'm home at last.

With warm regards,

      Beauregard  (No longer "Howie")
