Remember when you were so small you could sleep in a shoebox, Lucy? Before you grew up? Who would think that all those years have passed, and now its your birthday again? And Lulu must be six now, too. Happy Birthday Lulu, Happy Birthday Lucy!
Just as a special treat, all the dogs in the
neighbourhood have come together to help you celebrate.
Let me introduce them.
There’s the beautiful poodle, the crazy dog lovers, the
adventurers and the brave dog on Capitol Hill.
Then
there’s the dog with shadow, friendly dog, family pet, Scottie dog, fierce dog with pink
ribbons
and hard slog dogs.
There’s the trimmed dog, Roman dog, old dog, lost puppy,
Willie the ‘really’ lost dog, and the stoned dog.
There’s the beautiful dog sculpture in the park that
always reminds me of you (and makes me cry because I miss you), and then
there’s a cat, and the intrepid dog that walked all the way up the steep winding
track in the hot sun on Veterans’ Day, to the big white ‘Y’ above BYU.
And the dogs with the long pedigree, who feel right at home with us here in the Family History
Library!
Have you ever thought about dogs and their owners?
Could you
predict what kind of an owner a dog might have, just by looking at the dog?
And of course some dogs have no owners and no homes at
all, worst luck.
All in all, its easy to see that dogs have an important role in the community: Guard dogs, guide dogs, obedient dogs, and even disobedient dogs! Hang on a minute, how are we supposed to know the difference between wet and dry footpaths? And as for the other business, well, when a dog’s gotta go, a dog’s gotta go!
Because I miss you so much, I decided to get an American
pet, and I called her Lucy bear. She’s
rather beautiful, but a bit of a show-off, and does things you would never
do! Still, can’t help lovin her…
Love you too! Have a Happy Birthday!! XXXXX XXX XX
