A note from the Benman

Hi mom and dad,

Susan told me today that you sent her a note from Tie-land. I'm glad you are having fun. Here's a picture of me with my friend Tony. I like him sometimes because he is nice, but he likes sticks like me and as you know, all the sticks in the world belong to me so that's been a bit hard to explain to him. I'm still barking a lot because no one else does, and someone has to guard this place. We took a very long walk this afternoon and I had a wonderful time. Uben rolled today in dead fish and smelled really great until they put him in the dreaded bathtub. Terrapin has just been good as usual and she rests a lot. Tony and Uben are wild together but they play with me too some. I have been following Uncle Bernd around today at all times and everyone seems surprised about this, but I just thought I'd try warming up to a dude and see how it goes. I'll keep you posted.

I love you mom, and dad, well I love you too sometimes
