Dear Mom,

Long time since I last wrote please forgive me, a lots been going on and I should have been in touch a few weeks back, on my first birthday (thanks for the card). Sorry to hear about Dad's teeth by the way.

Life's very comfortable here. The humans are not bad overall. He's a bit slow on walks, (with his stick etc,) but I can twist him round my little claw and his hearts in the right place. She's very sweet, always grabbing and kissing me, whilst spouting gooey stuff in Russian.

I also get held in front of a thing called 'Skype' for other ladies to admire me. I'm used to it now, but sometimes it gets tiresome, as I have my work cut out chewing and hiding (you know how it is)! I keep busy here by tearing up and down, bouncing off the furniture, barking at the door phone and filling in with hiding socks and other things they drop, oh yes!

We reside overlooking the sea, in our Victorian backdrop, beautiful beaches for me to exercise on, gets busy in the Summer, but a girl can't expect everything and after all we are pretty exclusive in our Penthouse (thank god for air conditioning).

Mom, the food and the medicare are gold class. Sort of Kaiser Foundation meets The Waldorf. I had a yukky tum once, (having got my beak into some cherry tart that was a bit rich don't you know!) He got most animated and laid everything on with the medics and treatment.

I get the most amazing breakfasts. I join them for dinner most nights (and supper too, if she's not watching)! There's always afternoon tea served around 4pm, with a choice of several biscuits, cakes and seasonal crumpets. All my food and bottled water comes on Georgian silver service too - top hole what! She's not a bad cook either and the menu varies consistently, which is important for my developing figure.

I sleep where I want, generally start off with him, (he tucks me in) and finish the night with her. I also have two or three baskets randomly sited, so I can get my own space when I need it, which is important at my age. She keeps my wardrobe seasoned and in fashion. Currently I have a bespoke fur coat to weather the winter in too.

Last thing mom, I've got a really amazing hairstylist, quite close and there's no need for a taxi as I'm chauffeur driven. Good class of clientele too, which always helps (no Westies!).

All my love

(ps my regards to the rest of the family, don't suppose they're doing so well, but tell them to make the most of whatever they've got)

(pps is anyone else microchipped?)

Wow Crystal! You're living the life!

(yes we are chipped)

Hello Crystal from another Crystal, your title caught me right away, nice to meet you. I have always loved to hear about times in Merry Ol England. In spite of the lovely tea time you have on such lovely china, I hear your country is having some hardships but don't we all at times. I dearly love the people my Mum taught me that and watching me Mum on the computer taught me that.

Do you like to play ball and give kisses?:aimeeyork Well, I must go now however if you think you have it made, think again I'm in heaven!;)

Crystal, crystal, Cyrstal be very careful about broadcasting how good you have it. Next thing you know the doorbell will ring and family members will be coming for a short visit (like maybe 5 or 6 yrs.) especially in the summer since your are on the beach.
You may also be hosting some distant relatives from across the pond. I heard Bubba and Sissy whispering about calling the travel agency because they had a relative who had made it big time!
Ps they have their microchips (passports)

All cousins from my country of adoption are very welcome! It's that lot from the EU, all those poodles and daschsunds that bother me. I realize I'm a very lucky girl, but like to make the family green. I just couldn't wait to get out of that box with them all -far too crowded I'm sure.

Yes it all comes from selecting a better class of human I find!:)

Hello Crystal,

My name came with me, otherwise Dad was apparently going to call me 'Emily' or 'Agatha' after his favourite Aunts! We.re lucky here with the floods on the East Coast, but my cousins in Somerset (West Country) are really up against it poor folk. We have lots of friends and relatives in the US and one day I hope to visit.

(ps my Mom is great at the ball game on the beach here)
