From My Inbox: Amanda's Birthday

Dear Amanda,
Here we are again, the first day of Spring and another pupster
birthday. Soon, the rain will cease so your mom can stop retrieving poop
in the mud and you can roll around in the grass without muck clinging to
your coat. More sun means more romps in the park where you can chase
Korera and assert your dominance over Goldens. But, favorite pupster of
mine, no happy birthday perks will come of stealing your friend's food, so
practice a little compassion waghead and let her eat in peace. At eight,
I'm figuring you can take the high road and keep your dominance in check.
So, pupster, have a barking birthday, and maybe this year I actually
will learn the art of wag writing. I know you've tried to teach me, but I
am a slow learner. I wish you a year of satisfying work, long naps in the
sun and fun games of tug with Korera. Thanks for the top job you do
protecting and watching out for your mom. Now, tell her to thank you with
a hard-boiled egg or a nice juicy piece of ham.

Love and wags,
Leah
