Who’s the Boss
Shhhh … David went to bed and he thinks I’m sleeping in the shower. (My favorite cool spot!) But tonight, I saw that he left his iPad on the couch, so I snuck out to use it. This is it, MY turn to write the Publisher’s Letter!
I’m Bear, the top dog at Elegant Island Living. David is my human. When people ask him what kind of dog I am, he laughs and says, “a Chihuahua,” but really, I’m a Newfoundland. David’s the best because we drive around in a convertible and he takes me and my brother Onyx, who he adopted from HSSCG, lots of places. We go to Gascoigne Park to see our friends and sniff the trees, go swimming under the Mackay River Bridge, and chase birds at the beach. It’s not all fun and games though, we have important business too.
At 6:00 a.m. I start the day by standing next to the bed and poking David with my nose. Then I stare at him until he gets up. Once he gets in the shower, the bed is MINE! Then we go out for breakfast. On a good day, Mr. Andy or Mr. Jeff will sneak me some sausage from Palmer’s. Sometimes they both do – don’t tell! We go to the post office and the bank, and keep magazines stocked around the island. I inspect the warehouse and even meet the big truck that comes every month! When people see me in the car, they tell David, “I can’t believe he just sits there. My dog would never stay.” I don’t think they understand this is my job. Who else would make sure the magazine work gets done?
Enjoy reading about my new friend Sidney’s adventures this month. Come over and say “hi” when you see me, Onyx, and David out and about. Because I will always be on the job!
