Good morning! While my brother is at Church, I thought I’d catch you up on the past week. First, I hope you all had a great Fourth of July. We did! It was very quiet. We grilled out and then watched the fireworks on the television. I know that some of you all want to make sure that I didn’t get too excited, like I do when it thunders. Well, here’s me last year on the boat.
As you can see, I’m as cool as a cucumber with rockets and their red glare, for some reason. Of course, there was food involved.
Now, here’s some very exciting news. While we were celebrating the Fourth of July, my brother told me, “Well, you know, Winston, you’re the Prime Minister of the Winstonian Republics.” I had no idea! In fact, I didn’t even know there had been an election! It made me do a little Whiskey Tango to celebrate!
To all of you who supported me, thank you. I’m very humbled, especially because I’m not quite sure where the Winstonian Republics are! I was also really excited when I thought I was the Prime Rib Minister, but I think Prime Minister will be great, too.
Has that ever happened to you – where you’ve been humbled to receive a gift and you’re not even sure just how big that gift is? My brother says that happens to him at Church a lot. I thought about it on our walk this morning, and here’s what I think we should all do:
You say a little prayer, try to do your best, and keep putting one paw in front of the other.
That’s what I’ll try to do every day as Prime Minister. I also hope that the hydrangea is the Official Bush of the Winstonian Republics. If they don’t already have an official bird, I might suggest the hawk.
We saw one on our walk and my brother got this picture before he flew away.
It’s too bad, because I was just getting ready to ask him if he wanted to be the Official Bird.
Well, maybe we’ll see him again. Or, maybe a duck would be more suited to me, being a Retriever and all.
After all the excitement, I decided to cool off in the Springs. It’s good to be led “beside” the still waters, but sometimes you just have to plop right down in them!
Well, I hope you can come visit me in the Winstonian Republics. I’ll let you know as soon as I found out where they are!
