I missed the boat- er- the plane the first time around. They said they’d come back for me but I hardly heard them because I was so upset. But they did send another plane for me and asked me to pick some more friends to come with me. Not a problem, I said and so here we are. They named me after some real people. I don’t know them but I guess they know me. So do my sensors Sue and Sandy Schwartz. I’d like to meet all these people one day to thank them nose to nose. Now my mom and dad have adopted me and even have a boy doodle to play with me. Mom and Dad like to run and run and run. I guess someone is chasing them. My dad got in an accident once and couldn’t run anymore. He had to sit in a chair with wheels. It was a scary time for everyone. Then he got better and someone starting chasing him again so he started to run and run and run again. He even got to run in a big race where you get a shirt with a picture of fruit on it. I really don’t understand some things American people do but maybe I will some day. I’m just happy to be here and happy my dad is well again and that I have a great mom and a brother dog to keep me company. I’m so glad that plane came back for me! Lots of love from Ralph
