ALMOST ALL IS IN THE MAIL!!!! LOST PUPPY.

THEY DECIDED TO HAVE MERCY. I HAVE BEEN LEFT A BED, A STOVE, A FRIDGE & A WASHING MACHINE. I HAVE SENT NEARLY EVERYTHING I OWN HERE TO KAREN'S.

IT IS DARK, RAINING HARD, LOUD THUNDER AND SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL. I CAN'T SLEEP STILL. BUT I AM FINALLY GETTING TO WHERE I HAVE ENERGY IN THE DAY.

I FOUND A SMALL PUPPY JOGGING TODAY. IT RAN RIGHT UP TO ME. I WIPED ALL THE LITTLE EYE BOOGERS OF THE SIDES OF ITS NOSE IT LET ME PET ITS BELLY. IT JUMPED INTO MY ARMS AND BEGAN TO LICK ME AND IT WHOLE BODY WAS SHAKING WITH THE FEELING OF BEING HELD AND LOVED. IT WAS SO SCARED AND I COULD TELL IT SUDDENLY FELT SO SAFE. I WAS ENVIOUS.

I WALKED AROUND AND FINALLY FOUND IT HAD GOTTEN AWAY FROM A FLOWER SHOP DOWN THE ROAD. THE WOMAN WAS SO HAPPY I FOUND HER. SHE JUMPED INTO HER ARMS.

I FEEL ANIMALS ARE OUR CHILDREN. EXCEPT FOR BEARS. I WATCH THE COLBERT REPORT. I HAVE BEEN ENLIGHTENED.

I ALSO THROW SHARKS INTO THE NON-BABY CATEGORY. I LOVE ALL ANIMALS THAT CONSIDER ME A FATHER. I DON'T TRUST THE ONES THAT CONSIDER ME FOOD. I HAVE MY RESERVATIONS ABOUT NON-MAMMALS, BUT I AM WILLING TO MAKE EXCEPTIONS. I HAD A HERMIT CRAB WHEN I WAS A KID. IT WOULD WALK AROUND ON ME AND THEN ROLL UP IN A BALL AND SLEEP IN UNDER MY CHIN. I THINK IT LIKED ME.

7 DAYS TO DEPARTURE. I HAVE DECIDED TO SPEND A COUPLE DAYS IN HONG KONG.
