Thanks Dad

I intercepted this nice note from my boy Sherpa to his dad Michael.

Dearest Dad,
I know you know it, but I want to put it down in black and white. I LOVE YOU. You never fail to go out of your way to make me feel very loved and special. I couldn't help but get a little choked up when we went in the ring together the other day for the non-sporting puppy group competition. I know it was your first time in the ring and I could tell you were a bit nervous about it. Well you did a great job leading me around the ring. You did your very best to show off my cuteness. And we went home with a very nice ribbon!
It was just one more of the many fun activities that we share. Like going hiking and running, and to all those darn classes that you have me signed up for including agility and puppy social hour. You and Stephen do so many things to make our lives together so great. How did I get so lucky?
It's such a funny coincidence that you ran into my mom as she was trotting around Northampton with Angus and Roxie. I guess it was in the stars.
I'm the luckiest puppy in the whole USA!!
Your boy,
Sherpa
