Dear Dadoo,
Happy Father’s Day! I’m sending this letter with my picture showing
a happy face, celebrating this special day with you. I am so glad to be your
adopted canine daughter, and I’m grateful for the many ways that you cared for
me, which you showed by:
a) Teaching me manners and how to be a good girl. You taught
me when to bark and when not to bark, how to use a pad to eat my bone, and even
gave me cues as to when to leave things alone.
b) Training me well in dancing and in modeling. My turns and
poses have improved so much, thanks to that spotting technique that you showed
me by placing a “treat” in a spot that you want me to focus. Now, if I could
only apply this to do some “fouettés” then I can be the most famous
“bowwowina.”
c) Spending time with me. I really enjoy hanging out with
you in the backyard—you with your cigar or pipe and reading your books on
philosophy and theology while I gnaw at my bone, enjoy the wind on my face and
just watch the day go by.
Thank you for being a great dad.
With a luv, luv, luv,
Mimi
P.S.
Can I send this to you before father’s day so I can be sure
that you will include me when you dine and celebrate that special day? To my
readers, please like if you are a canine with a special human dad.
My Dear Mimi,
Thank you for the very nice photo of yourself and
Mamoo. It is nice because I took that
picture. It is the only one out of 12
shots that made it during developing the film roll. This was the second film roll that I
developed after a long hiatus from film photography. The first one ended up with also one decent
shot out of the 12 from the other film roll.
I'm beginning to see a pattern. Perhaps
at the rate that I'm going, I'm going to exceed the work of Ansel Adams who
once said that "twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good
crop." On the other hand, Henri
Cartier-Bresson did say that "your
first 10,000 photographs are your worst."
Who am I to believe? At any rate,
once I am confident with my film photography I will impart whatever I know to
you. I am quite sure that you will make
a great photographer.
Keep up the good work.
I am really proud of you.
Your loving dad,
Dadoo
