“I have been excited to talk to you.  I want to tell my mom that I want more lap time.  I want to be able to sit on her lap in all situations.  I like it there and I feel more secure there.

Sometimes I have a bad feeling around my tail.  My tail gets sore.  Also I want to tell my mom that I need practice time up stairs.  I just need time to learn how to go up them fast.

I love being an only dog but I really want a second dog.  The reason I want a dog in the house is because I get bored with my people working and then I would have someone to talk to.  I was thinking of getting a dog fluffier than me and a little smaller and dad doesn’t need to worry about messes cause we could get a clean dog.  Dad is worried about anxiety but it doesn’t have to be anxiety.  I am really well-behaved and another dog could be well behaved too.  Mom is more exuberant fun and dad can learn more about exuberant fun with another dog.  You can tell dad that I will be a good teacher.  He doesn’t have to do a thing and if I have problems mom can help me.  She was really responsible when it came to teaching me.  Remember dad.

You can say to them that don’t believe, come on, you know I am smart.  You can see it my eyes.”
