Gentle Readers,
While I realize that some of you may have come to regard me, Mordred T. Dog, as a calm, cool, elegant fellow with an appreciation for life's rarified pleasures – a sip of Chateauneuf du Puppy, a nibble of a Ferragamo loafer, a whiff of Kennel No. 5. - what you may not guess is that even I can become as giddy as a Chihuahua at the prospect of sinking my teeth into a new challenge. No, it is not simply the upcoming multi-park promotional tour for my poetical volume "Heaves of Grass" (though that does delight me so). Rather, it is that I have at long last arrived at the solution as to how I will best be able to be of service and assistance to my Daddy in areas in which I have until now required his assistance (i.e. food acquisition, certain wipings, typing, self-walkery).
It all comes down to thumbs - of which I have always to this point had zero. This, my friends, will be the year that number is enlargened for Mordred T. Dog. I know not how. I know not from whence. All I know is that it will be so. And they will be appropriately splendid.
M.T.D.
I just replied to the Pie Episode, but had to write again. "Heaves of Grass"! You are too funny, plus most folks just give me a blank look when I make a literary allusion. As far as thumbs are concerned, I once explained to my son that dogs' "hands" aren't their paws, but their mouths. He replied, "OK, so their paws are clubs," (as in baseball bats).
