European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - May 7, 1992, Darmstadt, Hesse Thursday May 7, 1992 the stars and stripes a Page 17 Ann Landers dear Ann Landers i know people write to you with All kinds of questions so i Wasny to surprised when that Man from Tallahassee fla., asked you to help him get an agent for his dog act. I remember he has some Apricot poodles named Ginger Gigi and Pepper and they play the piano. He said they Are the Only piano playing dogs in the world which i can believe. You told him that booking animal acts was not your line of work and suggested that maybe Johnny Carson David Letterman or Arsenio Hall might give him a break. Within a few Days those very same poodles appeared on a to show not the shows you mentioned and performed very Well. Ill bet they get some bookings. Since you helped that Guy maybe you can do something for me. I have a couple of wire haired terriers that sing. I play tunes on the fiddle such As Sioux City sue and How come you do me like you do and the dogs harmonize like the supreme. Everybody deserves one big break in life and this could be mine. How about it Annie old girl longtime admirer in Arlington Heights dear admirer since that column appeared a Annie old girls has heard from a woman in Phoenix who has a horse that docs multiplication tables a Man in fort Worth whose three cats do Ballet numbers and a woman in san Juan puerto Rico with a Parrot that can swear in five today s crossword dear Abby dear Abby sixteen years ago just before mothers Day i clipped your column from the Chicago Tribune because it described my own situation so perfectly i could have written it. Please run it again. Here it is dear Abby six years ago i married a divorced Man whose sons came to live with us because their a a real Mother thought they would be better off with their father. They were then 11 and 13. I love these boys and i think they feel some affection for me yet on mothers Day they always remember their biological Mother with Flowers and i done to even get a card. In six years in be done a ton of laundry mended their clothes cooked for them shopped for them and spent hundreds of hours Chau Feuring them around. In be nursed them when they were sick and listened to their troubles. I lectured them about sex and drugs instilling in them decent moral values. I have done More had they been my biological children. Their a a real Mother has had very Little time for them. She has never taken them on a trip or asked them to spend a Holiday with her.

Please folks no More letters about your talented pets. 1 am sure they Are All wonder til but i can to help you. Dear Ann Landers As a longtime Reader of your column 1 now find myself writing with a question. In the Lafayette ind journal amp courier i recently read a letter from a Lynn Verduzco who refers to women As if they were the sole victims of spousal abuse. I was in an abusive relationship for quite some time so i know where she a coming from. The physical abuse i suffered was not nearly As bad As some i have read about although my cheekbone was chipped by a flying Telephone leaving half of my face Black and Blue for three weeks. The mental abuse was far More painful. My sex wife opened her bed for the pleasure of other men while i was at work. She had a mean Streak and delighted in telling me about her escapades. She also liked to stay out with a a friends until 6 in the morning. I have read dozens of letters in your column from abused wives but i cannot remember a single letter from an abused husband. No name in Kokomo dear Koko look at the Lafayette paper this morning and you la Sec one. In a glad you had the strength to get out of this terrible situation. Thanks for helping me be More evenhanded. Good Luck to you. C creators Syndicate signally and makes plans to be with them but if something better comes along she cancels i think stepmothers deserve a Little recognition on mothers Day. Just because we did no to Bear the children does no to mean we done to feel like a a real mothers. It would be a kindness to All stepmothers if you would print this. Hurt on mothers Day dear Hurt a i have Long held the View that giving birth to a child does no to make a woman a Mother any More than owning a piano makes a person a musician. But the woman who takes a child into her Home because she wants to and raises that child with love and understanding is in every sense of the word a a a real Mother. Dear Abby i smiled when i read the letter about the lady who was accused of talking to herself. My Mother May she rest in peace used to talk to herself. Once i said a mom you re talking to yourself she said a yes i know but in a the Only person i know who wont give me an in Cobleskill n y.
