The Three Husketeers

Today I am going to tell you the story of the three husketeers. Many years ago, when we huskies roamed around in Siberia, enjoying the cold, many were on the television show, The Husketeers. This was a group of huskies similar to Disney's Mouseketeers except who wants to watch a bunch of mice? Watching dogs is another matter entirely. The show was the most popular show on Siberian television. The dogs would sing, dance, howl, and sometimes they would do tricks, but they were not big on doing tricks. After all, they are dogs, and do not like to lower themselves to human standards. The three biggest stars on the show were Demon Flash Bandit, Angel Zoom Smokey, and Phantom Fast Snowman (he started out as the stunt dog, but rose to stardom due to his amazing charisma). The people in Siberia started referring to the three as the Three Husketeers. They stayed quite busy between filming the show, and doing guest appearances, and pawtograph signings. Now they are retired and living in the United States. However, if you are lucky, and if you have enough money, you might be able to hire the Three Husketeers for yourself. Of course, they like to nap so it is not easy to get them to agree to do any work. If you retire and continue to work, what is the point of retiring?

Cowboy Hat for Kate

I don't know how many of you saw the news story about William and Kate initially not wearing a cowboy hat in Calgary on their tour of Canada. I can only assume that the cowboy hat was not silly looking enough for Kate, but today I received a letter from Kate so I can put all my readers minds at rest on the subject. I'm sharing it with you now:

Dear Demon Flash Bandit,

My mother in law speaks very highly of you and your blog so I thought I would use your considerable influence to set the record straight. I did think the cowboy hat was too plain for my taste. I did not mean to hurt any one's feelings which is why both William and myself wore cowboy hats later on. However, I would have worn the hat in the beginning if it had been my style--you know maybe a peacock beanie baby on top surrounded by beanie baby mice. That is a hat I would be proud to wear. I'm sorry you think my hats are silly, but I put a lot of thought into them. I'm not saying my thoughts are good, but they are thoughts. Thanks for getting this little mistake straightened out. Best wishes from William and myself!

Love, Kate

I suppose there is no accounting for taste, but I bet the royal accountants do get tired of sending checks to pay for those silly hats Kate wears.
