Lefty writes to Max

Letter to the Editor -Sticks

Heidi and I receive many letter each month from our canine friends all over the world. This month I’d like to share a letter that deals with our favorite subject – ‘Sticks’ Here it is:

Dear Max, It’s me – FiFi your little ‘bonbon’ from Paris. Oh, Max you’re so handsome! I download your pictures every day and put them in my kennel….

Ooops!… sorry…. wrong letter. Ah! Here’s the one I was looking for! This one is from ‘Lefty’ who lives in Akron, Ohio. He writes:

Dear Max, Yesterday my master threw a stick for me and it broke in two pieces when it hit the ground!!! My question is- Which piece should I bring back to him? I MUST know! Please help.
Signed, Confused

Dear Confused,
I’m glad you asked that question, Lefty. You may not realize this but Heidi and I receive more letters each week asking ‘stick’ related questions than any other subject.

To answer your question, Lefty, it’s the left half. Yes, my confused friend, the left half is right. Listen carefully- you’re right if you choose left. That’s right. However the left half may end up on the right when the stick breaks. If that happens then the right is to be left on the left. Right? Now you have the left on the right and that means you can turn and face your master so the left is back on the left and not the right.

It’s his left but your right. The right is to be left where is landed. If you left the left and took the right then you have basically left the left and taken the right but not the right one! That’s wrong, right? That piece should have been left on the right.

Have I left anything out? No, I’m sure I’m right. Now that should clear things up… right?
