Ciao miei amici!
I, Lucia, am quite excited to tell you that Max stopped by la casa della mia zia (my aunt's house) in Tennessee -- where I'm presently visiting -- during the southern United States leg of his worldwide tour!
Because I am a young and as-yet-inexperienced-in-the-ways-of-the-world Aire-girrrl, I asked Max to teach me a few lessons about what it means to be a clever, loving, considerate, intuitive and companionable doggie. So, whatever Max told me to do, I tried to do. But ... quickly realizing that I have the attention span of a gnat and thus follow directions poorly (la mia ragazza says, "spend three minutes watching Lucia in agility training and you'll realize how true that is" --- pllbbbbbb!!!!), Max decided that the best teaching method for me would be learning by doing. Here are some photos of our lessons. (We had to do it this way because la mia ragazza's Photoshoppy skills, as you all know, are nine levels below wretchedly abysmal ... heeeeeeeeee!!!)
When Max showed me how to investigate and patrol the garden ...
I did this ...
When Max told me how to walk nicely alongside the hooman so I could see my shadow ...
I did this ...
When Max showed me how to sing ...
I did this ...
When Max taught me how to chill out by relaxing in the grass ...
I did this ...
When Max showed me how to stick out my tongue (heeeeee!!) ...
I did this ....
When Max taught me how to play with blankets and shirts ...
I did this ...
When Max showed me how to stand on my back leggies ...
I did this ....
When Max explained how to make horsey eyes ...
I did this ...
When Max said, Lucia, always snooze in the sunshine ...
I did this ...
When Max told me to give plenty of huggies to those who love us most ...
I did this ...
When Max taught me the winsome, upside down glance ...
I did this ...
When Max showed me that daily walkies are beneficial ...
I did this ...
And when Max taught me how to have a good nap after a good day ...
I did this ...
On this bellissima (most beautiful) Valentine's Day, dolce (sweet) Max, I send you my heart. I only wish it could be as enorme (large) and magnifico (magnificent) as yours!!!!!!
Tanti baci!

Hello Lucia, you and Mischka are only very, very distantly related. But you have Jalomonis blood in the veins. I reread in the geneological tables. June `s traces lose themselves, when them were sold after Canada. I could investigate not further. When are you born, Lucia? Mischka becomes at the end of of April 2 years old. Your German friend Mischka and Viola

Dexter here reporting on agilities for you!
I strongly urge you to get a set of weave poles for home. They are super hard to figure out. Momma and I practice a few times on most days but I still have trouble doing them from the right side and get excited and miss gates. At school they put fences on them for the beginners so that once you are in you have no choice but to weave.
The teeter is kind of scary. I don't get to practice it much. But the main thing is not to let it go BANG when you are learning. My teacher holds up on end and we start just by getting on and off, then we go to the tipping point and he lowers it and slowly and I get lots of cookies.
Agility rocks, don't you agree?
Kisses,
Dexter
