To whom it may concern…

Dear Alex,

Thank you for being such a good buy at Casey’s birthday party today. I know you had lots of fun, I can tell by the grass stains. I am glad that you and your godfather had time to hunt for bugs. He says you are an excellent grass hunter already.

I also appreciate you taking all the toys out of your cubbies, emptying the garbage can for me and pulling the toilet paper down off the roll. I am not sure what I would have done this evening if it hadn’t been for cleaning house. Again.

Love,

Mommy

Dear Freedom,

When brother first wakes up, there is no need to lick his ear. His a baby still and like most people, when he first wakes up, there is a period of adjustment that needs to happen when transitioning from asleep to awake. When you lick the inside of his ear upon waking, well, it makes him cranky.

Thank you for being so patient with him. You are an awesome dog and I couldn’t ask for a better one. You put up with a lot from that little boy and it doesn’t go unnoticed by me. I love you.

Love,

Mom

Dear Burney,

You are my favorite cat but please stop eating things from outside. I stepped in your puke this morning in bare feet and well, it wasn’t a great way to start the day. I do appreciate being fully woken up though, just not by that.

Also, is there a reason that you need to walk inbetween my legs as I am walking? I am sure it makes life thrilling however I am not as agile as I used to be and would prefer not to fall because of you.
Thanks.

Love,

Mom
