Le-Duc, is it time? Willem, are you ready?

Are you 14 months old yet? Is it time for “the talk”? I can’t wait to hear what Willem has to say.

I think it’s something like 13 days! Not that I’m counting or anything

Dearest Ducster, of course I will come to your 14 month party! We are all looking forward to hearing what Willem has to say, and I have it on good authority that he is already working hard on exactly the best way to 'splain things to you.

April 17 is only a few days after my real birthday, when I turn 8 years old. I did my first Open Jumper (Level 7) class today, and my humom and Trainer Jo were very happy with me and gave me peppermints, even though I did knock down the rail on two of the jumps because I didn’t know they were higher than the last class I did. They loved me because I was relaxed and forward and tried hard and listened and after I hit the rails I just jumped bigger. So, the lesson is you need to be nice to your humom and work hard and be sweet, then you’ll get peppermints and cookies and all kinds of treats and pats.

Loff, your Auntie Portia.

of course dearest Ducster,
I will come to your party!! I can’t wait to here what your Papa Willem has to say!!
Loff
Oncle Woody

Hullo Missy batgirl,

How are you? I am fine.

My new home is very good, except for my dummy Mommie. Sometimes I turn my butt to her to make her scared then I laugh HAHAHAHA. I am the devil’s pony with lightning in my hooves and twigs in my teeth! HAHAHA.

I am waiting … what I am waiting for I’m not quite sure, but I am waiting.

My OFFICIAL BIRTHDAY is February 17, 2002 so I will be exactly 14 months on April 17, 2003.

Can we have a BB party for me? Aunti Portia and Oncle Woody will you come to my party, even if it is a cyber party?

I loff my family. And I loff my friends and BB.

Le Duc de Willem
(but you can call me Duc-ster)
