Me, exhausted
To prove I was there
Fortitude and stamina
with a spritz of pee
Dear Human Beings,
I went to a park. I met some very nice Human Beings who petted me. There were some other Canine Dogs there too. I sniffed a lot of them but I didn’t have time to play. I had to concentrate on marking my territory and it was a very big park.
I marked all the way around on the fence. I marked some of the chairs where the Human Beings were sitting. I marked the trees. I marked the bushes. I tried to mark a big Canine Dog that came to see me but he was on the other side of the fence. I marked two people.
It was exhausting.
Yours truly,
Freddie Parker Westerfield, Canine Dog
Freddie, I am a girl, I would never mark anything, or anyone. You men…..so macho!

Macho is my middle name, not Parker. But I don’t want to sound pretentious.

P.S. No worry . . . It sounds like your bark is bigger than your pee. . .

Dear Freddy,
My human had a rough day, There’s a lot of tension at home, I’m nervous so I paid in the house a couple of times. My human mommy figured it out and she spent all day with me and I am not leaving her side. Now I am happy. These humans sure do have a lot of things to worry about. I’m glad I’m me. I am now sleeping on the bed with my head on her ankles.Thanks for listening, Freddy. You are a good friend. Love, Lexi-Pro

You must learn to pee from pleasure. It’s much healthier than peeing from nervousness. However, I am glad to hear you are training your Human Being, just be careful not to overly empathize with Human Beings. They are weird.
Therapeutically yours,
Freddie Parker Westerfield, Canine Dog Therapist.
