Advice From Poonch
Here's the email that I sent to Poonch asking for advice, and her email she sent to me, telling me what she thought I should do. She's a very smart dog and knows a lot about life.
Dear Poonch,
I sure do like your web page and was so excited when I saw you were going to open an advice column. I hope you have opened your advice column because I really need some advice.
My name is Elizabeth and I used to be the only dog then mom and dad got another dog named Honey. Honey's almost twelve and I'm almost two. Honey can do all kinds of things that I can't do and she makes me mad 'cause she can do more than me.
Anyway, lately, mom has been trying to teach me how to jump. Every night (sometimes two or three times a night) I wake mom and dad up and let them know I need them to take me outside. Mom wants me to learn to jump off (and on) the bed and go outside by myself. I want them to take me outside, I don't want to do
it myself. Dad thinks I'm not too smart 'cause I can't jump (he makes me sooo mad when I overhear him say that), and mom thinks I'm a late bloomer, but the truth is I do what I want, not what they want. Am I wrong to fight them on this issue?
If you want, take a look at my web page and you will understand what I have to go though with my new sister, and let me know how you like my web page. If you really want to, you can look at Honey's web page too.
I'll be waiting to hear from you on my jumping problem.
Hugs & kisses,
Elizabeth
Dear Elizabeth,
As soon as I read your letter I rushed to write an answer.(no need for me to say that my sister read it first although it was sent to me!) (Those human can't
live with them, can't live without them)
Believe me when I say, I relate with your problems. I myself have a "situation", I have a new human baby nephew. She is always here. (She likes to pinch me)
I honestly don't know who is in a worst situation u or me.
I like u also used to be the top attention. Anyway my advice to u is don't change. They liked u the way u were before the new dog came and so they
still like u. I am sure they love u the way u r and wouldn't like u
to change. Like every person has its own personality the same is dog.
Anyway remember this: She won't be referred and treated the newer for a long time while u will always be the youngest. I bet u can run faster.
Don't fight your human, remember sometimes they need to feel they r the elders and want to teach u stuff (allot of the stuff is un useful) so let them feel u
learned something. (my human want me to bring stupid sticks they throw.)
Hope I helped u (email me what u did),
poonch.
