Dear Mischa,
You know that I love you. Your foibles and sillinesses never cease to charm me, especially the things you try to do when you're panting.
I understand that when we come in from a medium-length walk, five miles or so, you're pretty hot and thirsty. You want to drink and you want to pant. So you go to your water-bowl and you try to do both at the same time. So far you've managed to avoid drowning yourself. Panting while eating is a bit more tricky, but rarely happens because we don't feed you when you're hot.
Today was a new one, and cuter than either: we got in from our walk, you went straight out to the garden, flopped down in your hole under the pine tree, and started trying to pant and sleep at the same time. And, impressively, you seem to have managed it, and with such a beautiful grin:
I look down out of my window now, and there you are, no longer panting but just sleeping away as if you don't have a care in the world. Fact is, you probably don't, and that is a lovely thing.
Love,
me.
