HOPE WANTS YOU TO KNOW

Hope wants you to know that she is not herself at all. In fact she does not know who she is. She smells like a powder ball right now. She went to the Groom Room on Thursday and she came back a different dog, and not even smelling like herself. She had a bath and they did all sorts to her. She had to have almost all of her fur clipped off the other week because of a skin condition that developed and she was naked for a while, but her coat is now about a quarter of an inch long and so she has been for a bath. She wanted you all to know this because she said that you would not know her when she next writes her diary. She is fed up because even now she still smells nothing like a dog at all.
