Dear Sally and Sadie,
Thank you or being my personal alarm clocks everymorning. Thank you or being my personal trainers . . .making sure I go or a walk outside every day. Thank youor being my bodyguards . . . barking at any small noisesyou hear.I must admit, when I nally conceded to my son’sbegging or a dog, my rule was that there would be nopets in the house. Well, that lasted about a month . . .at the most. Now, I am the one who makes sure you arecomortable on the couch, with pillows under your heads.I am the one who backhands a raccoon, and tears myshoulder up, to make sure you all do not get attacked.When my mother comes to visit, even she cannot helpbut scoot over in bed to make room or you. Obviously,the tables have turned.You get the ront seat on all our boat rides and roadtrips to the beach. You entertain me as you jump of thediving board and climb the ladder in our pool. You makesure we don’t have to eat letovers by cleaning up what’slet o dinner.I never imagined I would sleep with a dog, much lesstwo o you, but you all never ail to keep me warm at night.I never imagined how much I would look orward to beingmet at the door every single night by your smiling aces.You never ail to show me your love.I never imagined I could love a dog the way
I love the two of you!
