to the man in my life

dear miles-

i know you have a lot of energy. you love walking, playing and even more... retrieving. lately we have been doing a little tugging with your new rubber bone from the wisconsin dells. i have to admit it is fun to see you pulling and digging in to the carpet. i love all the little grunts and noises you make while trying to wrench the bone out of my hand.

unfortunately, we are going to have to nix the tugging. mommy's wrist was very sore this morning when she was trying to pour sugar into her coffee. also, mommy has to use her hands and wrists a lot at work, so we better be careful. i just don't think that wrists were made for pulling as hard as you like to pull.

so, i'm sorry, bud. i promise we'll try to find other ways to have fun inside the house while it's cold outside.

sincerely,
your ma
