Howdy, as they say down here in Texas! It's me, Crutcher Dillon Daniel O'Neill, age eight, of New Boston, Texas!
Sorry for not writing; been busy with school, playing with my friends (and drivin' my little sisters crazy! LOLOLOL), and gettin' ready to go with mama and daddy to a dog show in Houston. They are going to show off our dogs in hopes that they will win a prize (hopefully they'll win an Olympic medal or something!). We have six Pomeranians; mama and daddy show them and raise them for a living. This is how they make their money.
If the dogs do good, they get more money; if not, then they don't get paid. It's that simple.
Our Pomeranians are named "Scooter", "Scooby Doo" (I named that one! :) ), "Shirley", "Rusty", "Wiggles", and "Pokey". They are all very good, smart little dogs; they are always eager to learn new tricks.
My sisters Ezrah (six) and Kaylie (three) were sick with the flu last week, but they are about over it now. I never did get it, which was something of a big surprise. Kids all over my school have been out with this flu; yet I never got as much as a sniffle or cough! Call it luck or a miracle! :)
I am looking forward to going to Houston with mama and daddy. My MaMaw is going to watch my sisters; that will be so nice not to have them hangin' off me like leeches!
I will get to see someplace new, and I will get to see all sorts of neat looking dogs. I've never been to a dog show, but I watch 'em all the time on television, especially the big one, the Westminster Dog Show in England. A Scottish Terrier won that one; he won "Best of Show" over 2,000 dog entries!
Well, I am going to go get ready to go eat supper; we're then going to go to bed because tomorrow we're driving to my uncle Eddie's house about five miles from here; he lives really close. His wife (my aunt Elma) has been sick and in the hospital; she has peemonia of the lungs. She's really been bad off. Hopefully she's doing better; this is why we are going to see her. We want to see her before she kicks the bucket (I pray that doesn't happen!). We'll be gone all day.
Until later, this is Crutcher Dillon saying so long; I will write in here again! Take care and God bless!
~Love, your Texas friend, Crutcher. :)
