Binky"},"content":{"rendered":"

My Dearest Subjects: I am Princess Binky. You may call me Your Highness or Your Majesty. (Once we get to know each other well, I may also respond to Beautiful and Pretty Girl.) For those who have not yet been graced by my presence, I am wonderful and fantastic. I am also a very beautiful good-things-come-in-small-packages smooth saluki from Qatar. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am writing to you because it is high time I have found a\u00a0kingdom<\/span>\u00a0home of my own. Not that my servant<\/span>\u00a0foster mom isn\u2019t great. She is. But, frankly, she can be a bit slow to cater to my every whim\u00a0and actually does pay attention to her own dogs. Really, what is that about?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am quite a sweet, young girl. I love to snuggle in my foster\u00a0mom\u2019s lap or to rest my irresistibly gorgeous head on her chest. I am a quick learner. I like my routine (what royal family member doesn\u2019t?) and I go into my\u00a0castle<\/span>\u00a0crate with no fuss.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am particularly fond of children. I will play fetch and go all waggedy, even if it is not completely dignified to do so. It would, of course, be quite rude to mention, so please don't. I am also quite content to be only dog in residence--as long as the humans in the home are willing to entertain<\/span> play with me.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Speaking of other animals \u2013 I am a bit of a snob. I don\u2019t particularly love sharing the spotlight with other dogs I see on a walk, although I can be corrected. Sigh. If I must. I do play a bit rough in the house with the other canines, but I\u2019m only 35 pounds. So how rough can I be?<\/span><\/p>\n

 
\n\"binky2\"<\/a>
\nI do hate to get wet and want to wear my\u00a0royal gown<\/span>\u00a0coat when it rains. I do all my business outside, of course. I will\u00a0command<\/span>\u00a0ask you to let me out by ringing bells on the door handle.<\/span><\/p>\n
