Text Box:                Hi, my name is Lord Joshua.  I am a beagle puppy, who just happens to be royalty.  About a year ago though, hairless monkeys came and took me from my peaceful home, and kept on calling me spot.  When I clearly am Lord Joshua, can’t they see my resemblance to the Queen of England?  I am royalty, and I know some day she will come for me!  Unlike these people who make me sleep on the floor!  It’s like I’m some kind of animal!  For their information I’m just as human as they are.              Ohh, if you’ll excuse me, I need to get a drink from the royal toilet, ahh much better!  So this is how it happened, one day at the center I was playing poker with the dogs, when whammo the hairless wonder picked me up and threw me in the car!  “Excuse me!” I angrily barked, “I’m royalty!” But they didn’t listen though, they never listen they are so rude!              All of a sudden it hit me, I had to go potty!  Cars always make me nervous that’s why I prefer subways; the subway has so many cool smells!  When the Queen arrives we are going to buy a subway and then all day we can sniff the strange smells.  Well anyway back to the potty situation.  The seats were leather and easy to stand on so I lifted my leg up in the air, ahh sweet relief.  Then the head hairless looked back and saw the puddle!  Did you know their faces could turn candy apple red?              When we got to my “new” home he picked me up and threw me in a fenced area.  One rule that everyone always forgets is that you never throw royalty!  Later that day, the hairless monkey picked me up gently, this time his face was back to its normal shade and he wore an anxious smile.              “Now this is how you handle royalty!” I barked.              “shh!”, he said quietly, “You’re a gift for my wife, spot!  “I never thought I could find a dog like you at the adoption center!”              Then in less then a second he lightly laid me in a box with small holes in it where a faint light could shine through.  “Lord Joshua is my name!” I yelped!  But it was too late for words now.  The box was being moved and it seemed like I was in there for 8 dog years!              Then all of a sudden I heard a noise!  Thinking it was a monster I screamed, “Take the hairless monkey not me!”  But to my surprise it was another hairless monkey, but this one didn’t look like the other hairless monkey.  Her brown soul full eyes twinkled.  She picked me up and rubbed my ear gently, and cradled me in her arms.  She smelt like sweet lavender too.  That night as she was combing my fur, I didn’t mind that she called me spot, or that she wasn’t royalty because she loved me.  Maybe someday we could even buy a subway, but even if we didn’t, it doesn’t matter, because I have a home. (And devastating good looks!)
