I just received this e-mail from the sweet pooch for whom I dog-sat last week:
Dear Auntie Shelley:
Thanks for taking such great care of me last week. I had an awesome
time with you! My new lion is really cool, and I love to sleep with
him. Especially now that I bit off his tail and showed him who was
boss!
Love and licks,
Rosie
She also enclosed this photo (I keep telling you she's a remarkable dog):
Ack! Ack! Ack! Slain by cuteness!

Posted by: TJ on July 27, 2004 03:42 PMVery very cute! The poor lion...tail being bit off and all.

Posted by: guruvious on July 27, 2004 08:56 PMThe pooch is full grown, at least 4 years old, although she's only about the size of a small lab. The cat -- er, lion -- could possibly grow a bit more, I imagine, given enough tugging and slobberification.
Posted by: shelley on July 28, 2004 01:39 PMShe's not all that big, though. However, she does make up in enthusiasm what she lacks in size. It's presence that counts, isn't it?
Posted by: house9 on July 28, 2004 02:49 PMTHANK YOU FOR THE PHONE CALL. I just LOVE our friendship...and are excited for all the dramas we can share with each other!
PS - a VERY lucky dog! they really are SO lucky to have such a conscientious friend (even if your conscientiousness means they need to wash the sheets more - OH, I'll leave it sounding all scandalous like that!)
