Hi, all. My new Human got me a software Upgrade! It's called Dragon something-Or-Other. It's a voice recognition and dictation program. I had to talk and talk and talk into it until it learned to speak Sandee. Now I talk into a little microphone, and it types what I say! It even fixes my spelling and grammar. The other Spirit Helpers say that now I sound like Masterpiece Ferret, but hey, I used to back up to the pan like everyone else. This new human is smart, and she gives raisins. A little girl Named Sassy Britches came in. When she came across the bridge she held a paw to her head and kept saying "My ear doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt!" She forgot all about that when her old business jumped out at her from behind a bush, dooking and wardancing. They wanted to surprise her. They all rolled on the ground and pretend wrestled for a long time. They got all caught up on the gossip from home. Sassy was happy to learn that her Mommy was still o.k., but sad for a while. Sassy says "I love you Mommy. Don't be sad, I have my brothers and sisters in fur to be with me." One guy named Frito whispered in her ear " I know where there are raisins in the long grass where the daisies grow." So off they went. I saw them hours later, snuggled up together in a blue hammock with white stars. I went to check up on a big guy named Zubey for his family. He was actually pretty hard to find. He was asleep in one of the baskets of clean folded laundry in the blossoming apple orchard. It's always in bloom. Petals fall like snow when the wind blows. He says he is very happy, and wants to thank his family for all those bowls of kibble, and for loving him so hard when he was sick. Well I'm off to the fruit bar. I asked Zubey to come but he's too happy in his basket right now. Later. Sand [Posted in FML issue 4306]
