NHE AND ROWDI did not Ietp
V very good last night after we went
= - 20 bed, so after awhile we got out
and kneelct byvthc side OF the bed and
folded our paws and hands, and |
prayed, Dear mother which art in
heaven, hope YOU do not know all
that happens down here, because If YOU
do YOU know all OF the things that
have been making me feel bad. and you
know that my own true daddy and
everybody that | love hides things away
so can't see them do not want
you to feel sore at my father for doing
that, for he is only a man and | sup
pose he does not know any better, but
If you and God want TO land on the
others that are doing it 1t will he all
righ with me and Rowdy Ask God to
bless my father just as much as il he
deserved being blessed, for ! am going
to keep on loving him just the same
Amen" Then we crawled back into
bed and ! guess that was what was the
matter for we went 10 sleep right away
and today is Christmas,
When | woke up il was before day
light and there was light in the front
room, and | went in there to see what
il was and Santa Claus had been
there Yes sir never heard him at
all and he had been there and took my
tree into that room and he had put a lot
Of candles onto il and lii them, and
there was a candy cane most as long as
me, and some strings OF popcorn and
some little gold angels and some boxes
Of candy and box with Rowdy's name
on it and it said Dog Biscuits on 1t
and they are so hard ! almost broke my
teeth trying to bite one, but Rowdy
liked them and took them all out Of the
box and went ont to bury them with the
stump OF his tail sticking straight up in
the air, and just then my own true
daddy came, and | was sitting on the
floor untying a bundle and there wnS
the darhngcSt undcrthings in it ever
saw, and they felt perfectly sweet
against my face and were SO per
fumey that ! smelIcd them, and there
was a ticket pinned to them and il
said "To dear little Patsy from Jim
and Maggie"
