Dear Friends and
Family, Christmas
2020
This year's newsletter is
being written by me, Miss Gracie, the Sheltie. My ancestors come from Scotland! My mommies let Fast Eddie write the last
one (in 2018), so now it's my turn! You didn’t hear from us last year because
we were all very busy with me.
I turned one this past May! Oh, you may be
wondering where I came from. Mommy Sharon found me at a pet shop in July of
2019, when I was eight weeks old. She looked in my face and said, “Hello
Gracie”, so she had to take me home. She had told her friends that she would
“never, ever buy a dog from a pet shop.” Oops!
Talk about drama. She got me without talking
to Mommy Mary first! But Mommy Sharon had to make a quick decision or someone else
would buy me. There was a woman in the pet shop who asked Mommy Sharon, “Could
I hold her for a minute?” Mommy Sharon said “No.” She knew I was already hers.
Mommy Mary was working out-of-state
(Massachusetts) and was facing a big deadline that day, so Mommy Sharon didn’t
call her until after supper. When Mommy Mary returned home the next night, she loved
me right away. Who wouldn’t? She said I belonged to the mommies and Fast Eddie
and there was no sending me back!
Fast Eddie, my Puggle-brother, turned 14
years-old in October. He pretends he doesn’t care about me, but he does. If one
of the mommies takes me out without him, he starts barking and won’t stop until
I get back. He loves me!!! And I love him too. He’s an old man, but he is
healthy, and he can still run. (He’s FAST Eddie, after all).
We are still living in our apartment. It’s
on the third floor. My mommies complain all the time that they want a house
with a fenced yard so they could just open the door to let us out. But they
also say they are grateful to be here.
Fast Eddie and I know there is this scary
thing called “the pam-dem-ick.” Not sure I have that right. Anyway, it works
out for us because the mommies are home all the time now. We love it! We go out at least four times a day and
sometimes even more. Mommy Mary is working from home so sometimes we have
helpers to walk us.
This year, Mommy Sharon is going all out
decorating for Christmas. Last year, because I was still a small puppy, there
weren’t so many decorations. They were afraid I would charge the tree or eat the
ornaments. I don’t like it when things are moved or are different. Mommy Sharon
says, “I have issues.” Especially when I chase birds and try to fly.
We want to wish you all Happy Holidays and a
wonderful happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year.
Mary, Sharon, Fast Eddie, and Miss Gracie
