Please help the animals of Mazatlan

Hello Dahling,

My name is Aphrodite , and I vahnt you to sit down so that I can talk to you for a vile. My humans, Nadine and Henry Laxen, decided to start an animal shelter in Mazatlan, Mexico a few years ago, and I decided I should help them out in this worthy cause. Actually, at first I tried to convince them that they should invest in this nice 33ct. diamond dog collar, but dahling, it vas just too mush. Before I ask you for money, let me tell you a little more about my favorite topic, meeee! As I said before, in case you were'nt paying attention, my name is Aphrodite ... that's me ... goddess of love and devotion. I'm a chihuahua, one of the coolest and cutest breeds. I'm very famous, especially in Mazatlan, where I must admit I'm the most famous Chihuahua in town. Yesss dahling, that's me. Here is what other's have said about me:

• Will Rogers:If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.
• Andy Rooney:The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.
• Robert A. Heinlein:Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
• Mark Twain:If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

Vhat can I say, they are all right of course. Myself, I'm more of an easy going and mellow Chihuahua. My personal philosophy can be summed up by: Never try to teach a pig to sing, it wastes your time, and it annoys the pig.

Now, let's get down to business. Like I said, my fellow pooches (and those evil felines) in Mazatlan aren't as well off as yours truely, even without that diamond collar, so I'm doing my pahrt to raise a litter, eh, little dinero for my amigos down there. Now you can own a piece of history. A signed (well, pawed), limited edition (of 100) picture of meee, dahling. Don't accept substitutes, the real Aphrodite picture is signed by me and numbered by my humans. All the money I raise will go to the Amigos de los Animales , The Humane Society of Mazatlan. So dahling, be generous, and do a good deed for youself and my homeless pochie amigos.

Please make your checks out to the Amigos de los Animales so that you can deduct it from your taxes, you see, dahling, we are a (501-C3) charity in the USA. Your generous gift of $20 will keep one of my poochie buddies in doggie treats for a month or more.

Bye bye dahling, its been loverly chatting.
Love and kisses,
Aphrodite
