Don't be in a hurry to meet us

Dear Illa,

We all three are OK and hope that you are OK too. Daddy and Mummy asked me to write this letter to you and give you all the best regards. And though I have never been a skilled writer, I will try to do my best:)

By the way, today I started to think how long dogs live… People say that between eight and fifteen years. Guinness Book of Records says that the oldest dog was Bluey, an Australian cattle dog, which lived 29 years and 160 days (1910-1939). He lived on a farm. Maybe this healthy style determined his longevity? Or perhaps because he lived in Australia… Do you know that another oldest dog Maggie which lived almost 30 years but her owner had lost her papers and could not prove her age came from Australia too? Out of the other 20 oldest dogs in the world (I checked it in Wikipedia:)) 10 lived in the United Sates and 5 ones in the United Kingdom. Why so? Perhaps the word United is the key to success?… OK, Ok, I am just trying to entertain you a bit:) Moreover, I know that you started to learn more about dogs, how to educate them, how to choose toys for them, even started to write a blog about dogs. Funny name – The World of Toy Dogs:) That s why I tried to collect some information about dogs to help you at least a bit:). Don t think that I complain that you have not educated me enough, but remember that sometimes I got in troubles due to lack of education. And how many unusual toys appeared recently… Wow! How many new tasty treats!.. Wow! But I have always loved my yellow tennis ball most of all 🙂 and grapes, and cheeeese…

I know that you often think of me. I know that you love me. All three of us love you too. And we miss you a lot. We hope to meet you one day. But don’t be in a hurry! You still have enough things to do there both for people and for dogs:)

Take care.

With love,

Jack (1994-2011)
