We had company coming so I didn't get to see the finals for the singles games. M was the coach for our novice lady so she went in to finish tghe job. And what a finish!! Our gal, Thelma, won the novice Ladies Championship for The south Island.
Company for dinner and the night.
Here is the introduction and a bit of Chapter 1 of one of my more popular stories, It's A Dog's Life.
Will continue tomorrow.

FORWARD

This is my autobiography; actually it could be called my “autodoggraphy”.  I understand that when someone else writes about me it should simply be called a biography or in this case a “doggraphy” but since I am using an unwitting medium to do the actual writing, I am in the truest sense of the word a ghostwriter and therefore the pages that follow are an autodoggraphy.

This is the story of my life as seen and remembered by me, I trust that the reader will understand that my perspective while unblemished by any prejudice, conceit or bias is unique and only an individual such as I could first of all break from the common mold and secondly utilize an unsuspecting second party to convey the events that shall unfold.

Learn and enjoy!

PUPPY TIME

CHAPTER 1

O

f course my first few days after my birth were rather a blur, actually I couldn’t see anything for the first while but I could sense that I wasn’t alone and after my mother gave birth to me I realized that there were others ahead of me and my competitive spirit began it’s development.  It was difficult those first few days, I had been the last born, I was always hungry and I had a difficult time trying to find something to suck on; there always seemed to be another body in my way.  But blind as I was I quickly learned that if I bit hard enough on anything I could get in my mouth a feeding spot would become available.

  For some reason my eyes opened earlier than those of my brothers and sisters, I couldn’t actually count of course but I quickly realized that we were one feeding spot short.  I noticed that my siblings were all larger than me, no doubt they had been getting the good stuff for some time and I had been getting what was left.  I soon changed the priority for feeding and although I enjoyed a full stomach I never did catch up to the rest of them in size.

There was one rather nasty experience about this time; we were all taken out of our bed and out into a wide open area, each of us in turn were quickly relieved of most of our tail.  It didn’t actually hurt that much but I was last and had to watch the process ten times before it was my turn, I felt a little better when I was able to nip the hand that was holding me.

  Time passed, eventually a couple of my competitors were lifted out of the bed we lived in and never came back.  Communicating with my siblings and mother was very simple but I soon learned that I had an ability that did not seem to be shared with the others.  But more about that in a moment.
