You can paint a portrait too, again.

Dear Jasmine,

    I've been having lots of fun since we last wrote. I like to go
hiking every weekend. Here's a picture of Chance and I last weekend hiking on
Lewis and Clark Trail.

Doesn't look like doggy heaven? It was fun,  mama says I'm still wild as a
hootenanny even though I'm bigger than everybody now, I still have a puppy
brain. I don't know what that means but if it means what I think it does it
sounds like a lot of fun yeah hey woo hoo!

I got a new job mama says I am the assistant branch manager to the branch
manager, chance
If you want a job with branches let me know!
Love, Sunny

Dear Jasmine,

Hi Jasmine!  Yeah I don't know why snowcones stuff keeps falling from the sky
but it's delicious if only I had some liver juice. I'm having fun running
around too!

After that my mama took me to the dog docta she said I'd be feeling the very
good afterwords and I would be a much nicer boy but I don't know because I
feel the same. I tried to look as angelic as I could so Mama would let me come home.

I don't know what's going on but it kind of felt like when I
was on vacation And I ate that doobie

I couldn't even get up I just sat here staring for at least 10 minutes It was
awesome! Mama thought I was going to be retarded forever but I turned out
okay. After we left the dog Dr.,  Mama thought I was a lamp because she put a
lampshade on my head I don't know why but it was it was weird

Maybe I am retarded because I just ate a plastic bag in the park mama was
chasing me everywhere but she couldn't catch me so I swallowed it as quick as
I could. Anyway it's naptime!   See you soon Jasmine!

Love, Sunny

Dear Sunny,

Hey Sunny n Chance... What is this white stuff?? It is cold... Wet... I keep sliding all over the place.. My human wants me to go potty in it.. But I have been just hanging out and then when she lets  me in I just try to go n the house... She caught me and put me back outside...  She is pretty smart but don't tell her that...

Dear Jazi

Dear Jazi,

      I'm sorry to hear you were broken.  Im glad your fixed now!  My human says I'm wild as a hootin'nanny and that if I don't calm it down they're goin ta take me to the vet and then I'll "be sorry" especially after they take my voice box out.   Don't know what that means but if its anything like lickin that pork chop pan, then yay!!  I think I'll bite them some more and eat a few more paper plates just for fun anyway.

Woo hoo!

I hope we can get together soon to play or maybe fight each other to the death, maybe bite a kid!  Heck, let's run through a mud puddle then blast our humans with our catapulting and jumping skills, they'll never see me as I ricochet off their backs.  It's hi-larious.

Gotta go to sleep now my eyes are dropping down like a Basset hound. Nighty night!

Love, Sunny

Dear Sunny

Hi Sonny and Chance... Just wanted to send u a pic so u don't forget what I look like... I have gotten pretty big.. My human took me to the vet and I was fixed... I didn't think I was broke... But my human said I'm fixed now... Soooo yea! It was pretty painful, I cryed all the way home, but my human called in sick that day and rubbed my back and head all day, and gave me a lot of kisses, by the next day I felt better... Hope you and your human are doing good.

Love, Jasmine
