Hello Friend's of Dharma!
Merry Christmas Everybody!
Here is a picture of our Family.
Christmas Night 2018!

When I get up in the morning,
I have to wait for the
OLD FOLKS
to stir.
Now when Mama and Papa were working,

BING

the clock would ring and up they would SING,

well not really sing,

actually I think it was the
ALARM CLOCK,
HA HA!


Anyway, it was very early,
LIKE FIVE A.M.,
and our day would begin.

LIKE THAT IS EVER GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

This morning, it was after
9 AM
when my Papa finally

ROLLED OUT OF BED!

Here is a little clip: THUMP, THUMP, THUMP

Can you believe it.

I mean

HOW LATE DOES A GIRL HAVE TO WAIT?

YOU KNOW,
DOGGIE KIBBLE,
BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS?


So finally my Papa lets me down stairs,

THUMP, THUMP, THUMP

and as I leave the bottom landing,

IT'S A BIRD, IT'S A PLANE, IT'S
FRODO


the

WONDER CAT

who flies from where he has been waiting

JUST FOR THIS MOMENT,
to
POUNCE ON LITTLE O'L ME
AND WE
TUMBLE
ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONT DOOR.


As my Papa slowly comes down the stairs,

THUMP, THUMP, THUMP,

I AM ROLLING

I MEAN ROLLING

MY LITTLE BODY ALL OVER

THE RUG IN FRONT OF THE DOOR


as I wait,

FOR MY DARLING PAPA

TO LET ME OUT THE DOOR!


AND OUR DAY BEGINS.

And so,
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and
Happy Holidays!

You know, from the moment I wake up my battery starts a cranking and my tail begins a wagging. And of course, I always have BED HEAD, in case you never noticed before. But I just love a good scratch before going out the door. Since Mama put in the rug, for brother Merlie who will be 13 in a week or so, I mean, that's like 100 years old or something, I mean I am in DOGGIE HEAVEN. You can see Merlin's tail at the bottom of the clip. Ha!
And here are a few pictures from MY SCRAPBOOK!

Hello Friend's of Dharma!

Here we are in Wilton, New Hampshire
at the town's holiday festivities night.
This is Annmarie and Paul.
Now I may not have told you this
but when Mama started to write down my
LITTLE STORY
she brought the very simple drawings,
DONE BY OUR VERY OWN
JUDI WING,

along with my story to the children
at
FLORENCE RIDEOUT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
in

WILTON,  N.H.!


FIRST
she read my story to a
SECOND GRADE CLASS,
WHO SAID OOOH, OOOH, OOOH.


THEN
she read my story to a
THIRD GRADE CLASS,
WHO LAUGHED THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH.


FINALLY,
she read my story to a
FOURTH GRADE CLASS,
who said
WE LOVE DHARMA,
CAN SHE COME TO VISIT US?


Mama thought yeah,
I GUESS WE SHOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH
MY STORY SINCE
THE KIDDIES
SEEMED TO LOVE IT!


And she did.
It seems strange NOW but that was
a LONG, LONG, TIME AGO.

Picture
 So here I am with Annmarie and Paul
and as you can see,
I AM DOING
WHAT I DO BEST!!


Thank you to Annmarie and Paul.
Annmarie told me all about her little
YORKIE BELLA,
who she says is such a
LICKY, AND HAPPY LITTLE PUPPY.
Annmarie told me that
NO MATTER HOW LONG SHE HAS BEEN
OUT OF THE HOUSE

whether it is one minute or one hour,
HER LITTLE BELLA
is always so happy to see her
AND DANCES ALL AROUND
WHEN SHE COMES HOME.


Go Bella!

Bella also lives with a
CALICO CAT NAMED MELLY.
Annmarie says, that cat
LOVES PAUL.

And so thank you for sharing your little story folks.
And of course
for giving me
LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF HUGS.
IT WAS WONDERFUL!


Thank you to all of the
FRIEND'S OF DHARMA
for reading my stories.

WACKA WACKA WACKA, at the Door!

Hello All!

Yoohoo!! The holiday is coming.
Hey Heather, what a blast from the past!!

In the morning

I OFTEN FIND MYSELF LISTENING TO
WACKA, WACKA, WACKA.


I am often
in the mud room when this happens.
At first I thought it was a little bird

TAPPING TAPPING TAPPING

at the front door.

But it seems that it happened every time

I WAS IN THE MUD ROOM!
I MEAN
WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT?


I asked Mama

AND SHE JUST SMILED.

My brother Merlie
who is in the mud room with me and Mama,
AS WE GET READY FOR OUR WALK

SMILES TOO!!

He has this

LONG TOOTHED SMILE,
ROWS OF WHITE SNAPPERS,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.


Anyway, it got where I would go to the door
of the mud room and

LOOK IN, CHECK IT OUT, FIND OUT WHY
SOME LITTLE BIRD KEPT
CHECKING ME OUT.
I MEAN IT MUST BE ABOUT ME,
DON'T YOU THINK?


Anyways, no luck.


Finally my little bro, Merlin says

HEY BIG SIS

it is you,

IT IS YOU, YOUR TAIL WHACKING THE DOOR.

And we all

JUST SMILED TOGETHER.

Picture

Here I am at the door.
I guess you can tell I am getting up in years,
but I am still full of

DYNAMITE!!

When we go for our walk
Merlie wanders down the road

CHASING ME.

He has been chasing me his
ENTIRE LIFE!!
Even thought he is a
REALLY BIG GUY
and I am a
REALLY LITTLE GIRL,
it was
LOVE, I MEAN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.

HE NEVER GAVE UP HOPE!
What a guy.

Anyway, thanks for reading my story.
Dharma Hugs!!

So let me tell you about Ariana.
You can see
ME AND SHE
at the Toadstool.
She was so happy to meet me.
She said she wanted her picture taken
because

SO SAD
SHE HAD NO DOGGIES AT HOME.
THAT IS SAD.

She wanted to

HOLD ME
HOLD ME
NEVER LET ME GO!!

And she

ASKED ME IF I WOULD KISS HER.
ABSOLUTELY.
I DID WITH ALL OF THE PLEASURE THAT
A TAIL WAGGING LICKING EXPERIENCE
CAN GIVE A PERSON
OR A
PUPPY!

Her mom even agreed to let us take her picture and here she is with me.
Thank you Mom Francesca!

I
WAS HOWEVER
MORE THAN HAPPY,
I MEAN MORE THAN HAPPY,
TO BE HER ADOPTED
DOGGIE for that time.




So many kiddies came that day
and visited with me.

I GOT TO MEET THEM ALL!!

Many even bought my book.
I
had Mama and Papa put my

SPECIAL
PUPPY PAW PRINT STAMP

into my book.
And so thank you!
And to all who came to

PLAY

GRATITUDE, GRATITUDE.

DHARMA HUGS!

In Love with Reading

Hello all!
Mama tells me her story about how she came
 TO LOVE READING.

She tells me that
READING
CAN BE
ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL!


When Mama was 5 1/2  she had to move to another school
halfway through kindergarten. 

Moving to another school is really hard anyway  but
because My Mama
was
VERY SHY,
(CAN YOU IMAGINE HER SHY)
it was
WAY MORE DIFFICULT THAN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

This is sad.
But her teacher had
WISDOM!!
WHOO HOO!!


Her teacher took her and all the other little kiddies
to the children's library
in downtown Fitchburg, Mass.

They walked and they walked
TWO BY TWO
down Academy Street,
passed the Y.M.C.A
down the sidewalk
until they crossed Main Street
to the
CHILDREN'S LIBRARY.

Guess what she discovered?


Picture
Picture
She walked into that library
WHERE THE CHAIRS
WERE JUST THE RIGHT SIZE
AND THE
TABLES
HELD WONDERFUL PICTURE BOOKS
THAT
OPENED UP
A WORLD OF READING
TO HER.

IT WAS MAGICAL!

The LITTLE TABLE
and the LITTLE CHAIR
and that
VERY FIRST PICTURE BOOK
was for her like
WALKING THROUGH A
MAGICAL FORREST
WHERE
EVERYONE IS KIND

AND
EVERYTHING,
AND I MEAN ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING
HAS A
"HAPPILY EVER AFTER"

ENDING.

IT WAS WONDERFUL MAMA SAYS.
AND SHE NEVER FORGOT IT.

So thank you Mama for sharing that story.

My next story will be
about Mama and Papa going into
all the different schools here in New Hampshire
where they got to 
READ
my
PICTURE BOOK
to all the little
pre-schoolers, kindergartners
and elementary school students.


WOW.
They said
it was
MAGICAL!



And so everybody,
CHECK OUT
YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY
TODAY!


FOR
LIBRARIES
HOLD
the
FORREST'S
OF
IMAGINATION
AND
THE
LIBRARIANS
ARE
THEIR
GARDNERS!
