According to the Arab, God
first created the mare, and then the stallion. In creating the mare, God
spoke to the south wind: "I will create for you a being which will be a
happiness to the good, and a misfortune to the bad. Happiness shall be on
its forehead, bounty on its back and joy in its possessor." |

I AM TWO!
I know it's been a long
time since I've written, but that's 'cuz my mean Grandma put me in
Jail for two months. I learned alot about something called Manners. I
found out that if I don't Mind My Manners then I get in trouble.
Phew! I'm glad I'm home and back with Mom. Now I just lie around and play
all day.
Grandma and Uncle Mario did a terrible thing to me and Mom yesterday.
It was sunny and warm out and they dragged out that long green thing that
squirts cold water and they got us both wet with it! Then they rubbed us
all over with some girly-smelling stuff and pointed the green thing at us
again to get it off. Now I smell like a fruitcake and my tail is all fluffy.
Mom already rolled in the mud to fix hers. Oh, and the Mean Man With The
Needles was here too. I tried to bite him but Grandma reminded me to
Mind My Manners. He made my neck hurt on both sides. I didn't let him
get near my hiney though.

Mom got to ride in the
limo today. Grandma played hookey and took Mom to The Park. I had to stay in
my room while they were gone! Mom said they rode for three hours. She was
tired when she got back. Mom's gotten all fat and lazy this winter. So has
Grandma. All they did all winter was eat and once in a while go for a walk
around the neighborhood. The Limo was snowed in and then we had so much mud!
Grandma didn't want the Limo to roll in it like me and Mom.
Well, time to go eat my birthday carrots!
