WALDO AND HIS LEPRECHAUN

A GOOD DAY TO YOU HAPPY FOLKS!

I HEAR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR ME. WELL, THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS HAVE BEEN A BIT OF A MESS, IF I DO SAY SO. LOTS OF STUFF GOING ON, BUT NOTHING REAL BAD OR GOOD. MOM HAS HAD A BIT OF A COLD. WE HAD A NEW LITTER OF SHIH TZU AND A NEW LITTER OF YORKIES BORN. WHY WE HAVE TO KEEP THOSE FLUFFY SNEEKY VARMINTS IN THE HOUSE IS A BIG MYSTERY TO ME. I HAVE TOLD MOM THEY ARE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF BEGGARS. ALWAYS WANTING SOMETHING. MOM LOVES THEM.....SO I GUESS SHE CAN KEEP THEM, BUT THE FINAL ANSWER IS "NO" TO ANY RAG TAG CATS. MOM IS ALLERGIC TO CATS SO I GUESS THE HOUSE IS SAFE.

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE. IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYONE IS CLAMORING TO GET ALL THE VOTES THEY CAN. THEY ARE BEGGINNING TO SLING MUD STORIES AT ONE ANOTHER. I AM NOT GOING TO LOWER MY STANDARDS TO GET IN ON THAT NASTY DEED. NO SIR, I STAND BY MY STATEMENTS. I LOVE CHEESEBURGERS AND I DO NOT CARE WHO KNOWS IT. I HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO MUNCH ON SOME TASTY FRENCH FRIES AND EVEN A CHEESE STICK ONCE IN A WHILE. BUT I ALWAYS SAY NO TO CHOCOLATE AND NO TO RAISENS. SO LET THE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS FIGHT IT OUT. I AM AN INDEPENDENT BULLDOG AND PROUD OF IT. I WEAR THE COLORS OF RED, WHITE, AND BLUE.

NOW, ON TO GREENER STORIES, ST. PATRICKS DAY IS COMING UP ON THE 17 TH, QUICKLY FOLLOWED BY EASTER THE NEXT WEEK. SO THIS WEEK I PUT ON MY GREEN PARTY HAT AND BOW TIE. I TOLD MOM WE WOULD HAVE TO DANCE A JIG. SHE SAID FOR ME TO DREAM ON, SHE DOES NOT WANT TO DANCE WITH ME BECAUSE SHE CLAIMS I STEP ON HER TOES TOO MUCH. HA, TIS' THE OTHER WAY AROUND, SHE HAS THE BIG FEET!! BUT WHILE MOM WAS SNAPPING MY PICTURES, THE LITTLE VARMINT THAT STAYS IN HER BEDROOM, ALSO KNOWN AS COOTER THE YORKIE KEPT YAPPING. I LOOKED DOWN AND TOLD MOM HE LOOKED TO BE THE SIZE OF A LEPRECHAUN. COOTER TOOK OFFENSE TO THAT AND DEMANDED TO BE PUT UPON THE BED. SO UP CAME THE VARMINT. LOOK AT HIM GOOD FOLKS, HE IS 4 MONTHS OLD AND WEIGHS JUST 23 OUNCES. THAT IS 1 POUND AND 7 OUNCES. I HAVE EATEN STEAKS BIGGER THAN THAT. HE SCOOTED ALL OVER THE BED. UNDER ME, AROUND ME, OVER ME, HE IS A SLICK LITTLE THING. HE DEMANDED I TELL HIM WHAT A LEPRECHAUN IS OR HE WAS GOING TO BUST ME IN THE JAW. HAHAHAHA. GOTTA GIVE HIM CREDIT, HE IS NOT SCARED OF ANYTHING. I TOLD HIM A LEPRECHAUN WAS A TINY LITTLE FOREST CREATURE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO LEAD A PERSON TO A POT OF GOLD IF CAUGHT. IF THE LEPRECHAUN GETS AWAY, HE TAKES THE GOLD WITH HIM. WELL, COOTER SAID IT DID NOT SOUND LIKE A BAD NAME, SO OF ALL THINGS, HE KISSED ME ON THE NOSE. GEE WHIZ, I HOPE THIS DOES NOT BECOME A HABIT......

TILL NEXT TIME, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES,

AND

THANK GOD FOR ALL THE GOOD HE DOES,

LOVE,

WALDO MCGEE
