Hello there, my adorable San Saba friends, and I hope you don’t look like fried pieces of bacon because boy has it been sizzling hot outside! I run around the backyard a few minutes, and when my tongue hangs out and begins to act like a shovel picking up dirt, I know it is time to go inside to get something more tasty like a cookie! Yeah, mom gives me animal crackers, but they aren’t real animals, just shaped like them. I would cry my eyes out if she handed me a real giraffe to eat!
Mom vacuumed my favorite couch, and she had a lot to say about it! I heard her exclaim… “oh my gosh, Lenny! If someone sat on this couch, they would go home thinking they’d had a hair transplant!” The woman thinks she is so clever! Me? I think she is rude and insensitive at times!
I love her more than anything, however, I have no control over my faulty follicles!
Mom told me some very upsetting news…she said our country is at war again. I have to tell you, my friends, that makes absolutely no sense to me. As you know, I am not fond of cats and my world is surrounded by them, and yes, I bark and act all irritated, but never in my life would I harm one. You see, cats have as much right to walk the earth as do I! They have a right to love and be loved, to be cats and not dogs, to be their haughty, snobby selves! I don’t have to agree with them, but I do have to agree with their right to exist and believe in being cats! Why do humans want to control everything when it is so obvious to this dachshund they have such difficulty controlling themselves?
I love you so very much, my sweet friends, but I feel such a deep sadness for the world we are living in now. So many days I just want to curl up with mom and pretend we are the world because there is love, kindness, laughter and hope in my house. Have a beautiful week, my friends.
Love, Lenny
