DEAR LEAH,
HO HO HO! I hope you enjoy what I’ve brought you! I think you will. After you’ve read this letter, go downstairs and see what’s waiting for you.
You have to give him a name, OK?
I know that you will take good care of what I have left. You will be responsible for taking care of him, but you should let other people play with him and love him, too. He has enough love for everybody!
I know that when you sat on my lap we talked about how you would need to do a lot of work to keep him. I know you will do well. There are some things that you need to do in particular.
First, read the book that I’ve left for you, starting with the chapter on housetraining. Second, take him for walks on his leash at least twice a day, even when it is cold. Third, clean up after any messes he makes inside or outside. Fourth, he should sleep in his crate until he has been fully trained. Fifth, give him a hundred hugs and kisses a day!
Merry Christmas, Leah!

P.S. He’s about ten weeks old. He’s a mix of Cairn Terrier and Shih Tzu.
That's really cute. Samih's puppy just sleeps all the time...I've asked Yoruba what he thinks is wrong :)
ReplyDeleteHuh. You should get that checked out. Could be an acute case of notarealanimalitis.
ReplyDeleteThis is so very sweet. I'm hoping for pictures someday.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, that's a stunning shot of Fallingwater on your homepage.
Thanks, Diane. I'll post some photos later on. I have a couple.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm in the midst of writing up my defense of the charms of DAWN OF THE DEAD. Hope you had a great Christmas.
Mmmmm...a defense of DAWN....yummy. I'm greatly looking forward to reading that.
ReplyDeleteHad a nice Christmas, thanks. And I hope you did, too.
