An open letter from the dog

Dear Mom & Dad,

As you may have noticed I've been moping around the house a lot lately.  This is not because I love you any less or because I am depressed as you may think.  You see, in my old age I've gotten pretty lazy.  I've also gotten quite picky about my likes and dislikes so here are a few things you should reference from time to time.

1.  It's cold outside.  I have very little fur.  I think you know where I am going with this.  Can't you get me one of those litter boxes that a lot of cats have?  That would make things easier on everyone.  You wouldn't have to stand at the door in your pjs calling for me to stop sniffing and pee... and I wouldn't have to prance around on the frozen tundra that is our front yard.
2.  Get that baby out of my crate.  I know that she thinks it is a fun toy to open and close the door.   However, this is my "room" and now it smells like Johnsons &  Johnsons and spit-up.
3.  Bill has been living in this house for awhile now yet I am still overjoyed to see him.  Please do not yell at me every time I jump on him.  One day (when he moves out) he's going to look back and miss me licking him and pouncing on him when he walks in the door.

I'm way too tired to type more now, time for a nap.  To recap... please just remember that I am also just as cute as Hannah and that I let her jump all over me and pinch me and try to grab my tongue.  I feel that I should get a little credit for being as tolerant as I am.  I mean, throw me a bone (haha... get the pun?)

Love,
Lily

Dear Lily,

We still love you!  Just think, spring is just around the corner and a really friendly husky just moved in next door!  I'm sure you'll be best of friends!

Love,
Mom & Dad
