FATHER'S DAY 2009

HELLO EVERYONE
 
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL
 
EVERYONE BE NICE TO OLD DAD THIS YEAR.  YEAH, HE PROBLAY TOOK AWAY YOUR CAR KEYS AT ONE POINT.  PROBLAY EMBARRASSED YOU SOME IN FRONT OF YOUR FRIENDS.  BUT HE IS STILL YOUR DAD.  YOU ONLY HAVE ONE AND NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU GET DISGUSTED WITH HIM, HE IS STILL YOURS.  MOM AND I DO NOT HAVE EITHER OF OURS NOW.  MOM GETS TEARY EYED JUST THINKING ABOUT HER DAD AND MY DAD, WILLEY.  SHE GOT OUT SOME PICTURES THE OTHER DAY OF MY DAD.  HE DID NOT LOOK MUCH LIKE ME.  MOM SAID HE WAS A WHOLE LOT MORE GENTLE THAN ME.  SHE SAID I ACT MORE LIKE MY WILD MOMMIE.  SHE SAID WILLEY WAS ALWAYS A GENTLEMAN. 
 
IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I WROTE.  WE HAVE BEEN BUSY AROUND HERE.  WE WENT TO DOG SHOWS.  MIKE, TANIA, AND HEATHER WENT WITH US THE FIRST WEEK.  GUESS WE FREAKED OUT MIKE AND HEATHER,  ONLY TANIA SHOWED UP THE SECOND WEEK.  WE WERE ON THE ROAD EACH MORNING BY 5:30 TO 6:00 AM TO SHOW AT 8:00 AM.  WE TOOK MIKE AND TANIA'S FRENCHIE AND PUG THE FIRST WEEK, ALONG WITH JUSTICE AND BABY LIBERTY.  MOM THINKS THE PUG WOULD HAVE WON A LOT BUT THEY GOT JUDGING THE BULLDOGS AND PUGS AT THE SAME TIME.  SINCE THE MAJORITY RULES AROUND HERE,  BULLDOGS GOT SHOWN.  THE FRENCHIE SHOWED AFTER THE BULLDOGS SO THAT WAS NO PROBLEM.
 
I WAS FIRST IN THE RING AT THE FIRST SHOW.  WE HAD A NICE JUDGE AND THE SHOW WAS OUTSIDE.  I EASILY TOOK MY CLASS.  (DID YOU THINK I WOULD NOT???)  THEN JUSTICE WENT IN AND HE WON HIS.  MIKE TOOK ME INTO THE FINALS WHILE MOM STUCK WITH PRETTY BOY JUSTICE.  OKAY HE BEAT ME.  I AM SURE HE MADE EYES AT THE JUDGE.  THEN BABY LIBERTY WENT INTO THE RING.  HER FIRST TIME AT 6 MONTHS SHOWING, SHE DID GOOD AND GOT HER PUPPY CLASS, THEN IN THE FINALS, SHE STARTED TWIRLING AROUND IN MID AIR, LIKE A BALLERINA.   PLEASE, I TAUGHT HER BETTER THAN THAT.  BUT EVERYONE LAUGHED AND COMMENTED ON HOW CUTE SHE WAS. YEA, YEA, YEA, SHE HAD TO CARRY HER CATERILLAR TO THE RINGSIDE WITH US.  THEN HEATHER HELD HER SO SHE WOULD NOT FREAK OUT.  OLD JUSTICE ACTED REAL STUCK UP.  I WANTED TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. I WANTED TO WRESTLE WITH SOME OF THOSE BIG DOGS.  I THOUGHT I WOULD LIKE TO JUMP UP AND GRAB SOME LITTLE FLUFF BALLS.  ALL DAY, I HEARD, WALDO- NO, WALDO- BEHAVE, WALDO- I MEAN IT.  GEE, I WAS JUST TRYING TO BE SOCIAL.  LATER, THE FRENCHIE- CEASAR WENT INTO THE SHOW RING, HE HAS DONE IT LOTS OF TIMES, SO HE WAS A PERFECT SHOWMAN AND GOT FIRST ALSO.  WE BROUGHT HOME LOTS OF BLUE RIBBONS.  MISS BUTTONS WAS IMPRESSED BUT THEN SHE SAID TO ME, WALDO-GO TO SLEEP.    EVERYONE IS ALWAYS TELLING ME WHAT TO DO.
 
THE SECOND SHOW, I WAS FIRST IN THE RING AGAIN.  IT WAS A MAN JUDGE.  HE LOOKED BIG AND I REALLY THOUGHT HE WANTED TO PLAY.  OKAY, I DID NOT LIKE THE RAMP THAT MORNING, AND MAYBE I DID MIS BEHAVE A LITTLE.  I HEARD HIM TELL MOM, "HE'S WIDE OPEN".  I THOUGHT THAT WAS A COMPLIMENT BUT MOM SAID LATER THAT THE REMARK MEANT I WAS NOT REALLY BEHAVING AND ACTING A LITTLE TOO WILD.  GEE, WHEN IS EVERYONE GOING TO LEARN THESE ARE DOG SHOWS, AND I LIKE TO PUT ON A SHOW.  THEN SISSY BOY JUSTICE BEAT ME AGAIN IN THE FINALS.  OH, HE JUST THINKS HE IS SO SMART AND DEBONAIR.  HE MARCHES AROUND LIKE A LITTLE TOY SOLDIER.  MOM SHOWED HIM IN THE FINALS, TANIA SHOWED ME.  I THINK SHE AND I WERE A GOOD TEAM.  I PROBLAY SHOULD HAVE BEHAVED A LITTLE BETTER FOR HER, I GUESS. THEN IT WAS TIME FOR THE LITTLE BABY LIBERTY TO SHOW.  THIS WEEK, THE BALLERINA STUFF WAS OUT, OUT, OUT.  BUT SHE DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE THE RING.  THEY WERE BRINGING IN THE BIG BULLDOGS TO BE JUDGED AND THERE SHE WAS ON HER HIND LEGS, TAKING THE LEAD IN HER MOUTH AND REFUSING TO WALK.  OH, THE JUDGE THOUGHT THIS WAS CUTE AND TOLD MOM THE BABY MUST REALLY LIKE SHOWING.  AND SHE HAD STOOD ON THE RAMP CORRECTLY TOO.  OBVIOUSLY, MISS BUTTONS IS GIVING HER LESSONS ON THE SIDE.  MOM AND TANIA HAD A CRATE AT RINGSIDE SO GUESS WHERE THEY PUT ME?  YEP, IN THE CRATE.  AT LEAST MY NAME WAS NOT ASSOCIATED SO MUCH WITH THE WORDS, NO, BEHAVE, ETC.
 
I DO NOT KNOW WHERE WE WILL SHOW NEXT.  MAYBE LATER THIS SUMMER, AFTER THE WEATHER COOLS DOWN A LITTLE.  IT IS SO HOT, HOT, HOT.  WE HAVE HAD LOTS OF STORMS. MOM PUT OUT A LOT OF FLOWERS.  THEY WILL PROBLAY SCORCH.  WE STAY INSIDE IN THE AIR CONDITIONING.
 
TILL NEXT TIME PEOPLE, HAVE A GOOD FATHER'S DAY AND MAY EVERYDAY BE BLESSED FOR YOU. 
 
 DO NOT FORGET TO THANK GOD FOR ALL HE DOES FOR US.
 
LOVE,
SIR WALDO MCGEE
AND MOM
AND THE REST OF THE GANG
