Dear Dr. Laura,
I've been listening to your program since 1999 when you were on terrestrial radio, and absolutely LOVE your quick-witted, brutally honest advice you dole out. You are the voice of reason to so many, and even though the truth may hurt, you never bat the eyelash of restraint.
You mentioned you were preparing for a new German Shepherd puppy and that the first name that popped into your head to call him was "Mikey". My ears perked up, not that they don't on any other day I'm listening to your show, but they may have perked up a tad taller when I heard you announce that. I'm not sure how you are spelling his name, but I wanted you to know I was elated to hear you chose that name because my name is "Maike" too, and I'm a purebred German gal. I was born in Germany, and spelled like my name, "Maike" is a German name! How fitting then to call your German Shepherd "Mikey". I just had to share that with you! I have always been partial to German Shepherds as a breed. I bred them, raised them, trained them, dabbled in showing and I must say, they are a noble, intelligent, and loyal breed. You won't be disappointed with your choice. I hope he brings you many years of protection and companionship.
Anyway, keep up the wonderful advice you give on your show. You are a true-blue advocate for protecting children and families in despair. I hope you never retire! The world needs more Dr. Laura values and no-nonsense advice. Thank you for all that you give to your listeners. You do make a difference in all our lives when we have decisions regarding relationships to make, and the first question that pops into our heads is "what would Dr. Laura say?" Take care and have fun with your pink VW and your new GS pup "Mikey"!
Your admiring fan and daily listener,
Maike
