To all my Royal Subjects

I’m happy to announce that I have chosen to take the reign over my new kingdom in October of 2008. My closest advisors, I also like to call them Mom and Dad have offered their home as my new castle and I have graciously accepted. I rule supreme in my new kingdom, including my three brothers and all their belongings, which of course are now all mine and they are now playing with them only at my leisure. I have chosen to take my mom up on here offer to go to this thing they call an “obedience school”. In my infinite wisdom I believe some training benefited her, which of course I closely supervised, after all she is only human. It also gave me an opportunity to expand my reign over more subjects also called “class mates”, which of course were grateful to immediately recognize me as their queen. At the end of the obedience class I also took my Mom through the Canine Good Citizen testing. Due to my superior intelligence, we passed with flying colors. I was pleased by the trainers announcement that I even surpassed my brother Thor’s score. I’m also happy to inform you that I have overcome my health concern. As you may be aware, your royal highness (Me) had to endure ACL surgery. I have gone through extensive rehab, including something called “Hydro Therapy”. Walking on a treadmill under water helped me improve my muscle mass and I’m now able to run again in my full glory. Since I am now we ll again, you should be relieved to know, that I intent to survey the rest of my kingdom more frequently, which includes the entire United States. My royal carriage (My daddy’s Semi Truck) was retrofitted for my needs including stairs and a throne on the passenger seat. When I get tired I rest my head on my royal pillow which my Daddy put on the dash to nap. I am pleased with these accommodations and in return I warn my Daddy of intruders approaching the truck, since my hearing of course is vastly superior to his, but again, that is expected since he too sadly is only human.
I find my new kingdom a great improvement over my former one which I lost due to unforeseen circumstances. As I was a homeless queen for a while, wandering on my injured leg, I am grateful to the people at Hand Me Down Doberman Rescue and my foster parents for granting me asylum and seeing to my immediate medical needs. I have instructed my advisors (Mom and Dad) to keep my Guardian Angels, as I like to call them, informed on my progress, as I am sure they would like to know of all the aspects of my royal life and I look forward to visiting them in September.

In closing, my royal subjects, be assured that your queen is well.

Her Royal Highness
