  3. Not only duss you get to go inside pubs, they has noms fur well-behaved dogs? I is so moving ofur there to Inglund. Well, eggsept fur you woz with all those skeery cows again. Mebbe I stay here. I woz in a railroad tunnel yesterday too but yours looks nicer. Mine woz all dark and wet and leaky on my furs like Chineeze water tortshures. Poor Lily being white and all. Us mud colored dogs can get away with hiding it better.

    Wow, wot a great advenshure you had! I sure wud like to run around in a place like dat, your Gran is lucky to live there! Lily does be rilly cute, too (but not as cute as Marley, of course *cough*).

    *Whisperin* I dussn't want to alarm you Marley but your family does appear to be followed by a lady in a yellow smiley-face...am sure she is friendly enuff, but just a heads up.
