Dear dogs,
I love you. And I think you love me. I would like to suggest you show your affection by cuddling with me at night, licking my face (and not after you’ve licked certain areas), or wagging your tail, for example. I would not suggest zipping around the yard and then tracking poop all over the house, especially when I’m in the anxious throes of packing for a trip and have a plane to catch in a matter of hours. This might result in a mild nervous breakdown and possibly some yelling.
Give this some thought while we’re away, please. You’ll have a few days to think about it. I’ll give you lots of hugs when I get back, I promise.
Love,
Me
P.S. Happy belated National Love Your Dog Day!
