A LETTER TO THE "EDITOR,"
SEALED WITH A LICK

    For one more issue, Editor Paul Hayden hands over the responsibility for his column to Huckleberry Finn, Lake Superior Magazine's Office Dog and Greeter. 

    When I wrote last issue's Editor's Note, I had no idea that my guest column would have such an impact on our readers. I've had lots of comments, but the one I received just yesterday from a devoted fan, via her grandpa Gordon Conright, has really piqued my interest.

Dear Huckleberry,
A few weeks ago I was in the Twin Ports visiting my Grandpa Gordo on his boat Wave Dancer moored at Barkers Island Marina and while pawing through the Nov. issue of Lake Superior Magazine I came upon your article and picture. 

Huckleberry, believe me when I say your picture sent shivers up and down my spine. You're my idea of the perfect male Sheltie - sophisticated, well educated and endowed with a love of the water and of nature that I find irresistible. 

In my 11 years, I've never before written to a boy Sheltie, but I was so taken by your beauty and sensitivity that I felt I must take pen in paw and write to you. 

I hope I'm not being too brazen, but I was wondering if perhaps next summer you might be out cruising with your folks or Grandpa and Grandma Jim and Jan on Skipper Sam II and perhaps we could meet and you and I could take a quiet walk on the shore of beautiful Lake Superior?

What a thrill it would be for me to be squired about by one with such charm, wit and canine masculinity. 

Hoping to hear from you soon, Huckleberry. 

Yours truly,

    Natasha

P.S. I'm enclosing a picture of myself when I was a bit younger, but I'm sure you understand how we girl Shelties are about our age.

     

Admiring HuckAdmiring his admirer, Huck has to admit
that his heart is somewhat aflutter, too.

Natasha, you are welcome to visit us anytime here in the office. I look forward to that stroll.
