Dear Tess,

Hope you are having fun with Julie, Stuart and Jack. Good News - we found a new place to live and there is lots of room for you to run around and balconies too, so you can go outside without a leash - what fun!!!

Here is a picture of the new building:














Yes, front steps too!!!

We walked around what will be our new neighborhood and I'm sure you will like it. There are lots of parks that allow dogs. Also, many of the restaurants we saw allowed dogs; in fact, the one we had lunch in not only allowed dogs, but fed them as well. Several of your contemporaries were busy chowing down on either snacks or full meals, lovingly brought by the bowtied waiters. There were a couple of dachunds that were not behaving and a little Boston Terrier that had the nerve to puts it's paws on the table.


There will be done of this un-restaurant worthy behavior from you as I know you will sit like the nice little dog you are and behave yourself.

The grocery store has wee-wee pads, so you won't have to go out when 1) you don't want to 2) we don't want to take you, or 3)the typhoon hits. Still no progress on the Science Diet. Perhaps you will like Japanese dog food - we are definitely enjoying the people food here.

There are many pet boutiques that sell little doggie outfits. Don't worry, I know how much you hate getting dressed up and I promise, I will not put you in anything other than your leash.



And no, you can cannot have this chandelier bed in the window - yes, I know you would look fabulous in it, but the answer is still no.


miss you lots,
