| Dear Puppy, | |
| I am glad you like the elegant, once-white linen curtains that | |
| hung in the kitchen. We have great taste in linens and things. | |
| I had high hopes that knotting the ends out of reach would mean | |
| we could still admire them from a pleasing distance. But it | |
| seems you prefer to show your admiration in a tactile, tackling | |
| sorta way. I have great respect for your athleticism, which has | |
| a time and place ... but I digress. | |
| Thank you for taking the curtains down, as they were kind of | |
| silly just wafting in a gentle breeze. I underestimated the | |
| appeal of dragging a beige wad or two across the floor, while | |
| being chased by clanging metal rods. The floor is definitely | |
| cleaner! | |
| And it is true that the downstairs neighbors have never visited | |
| when the drapes were just hanging there, completely useless! | |
| Congratulations on that. Who said we aren't socializing enough! | |
| That said, the next time you wish to redecorate or invite the | |
| neighbors over, please call a roomie meeting. | |
| Sincerely, | |
| Your roommate | |
| Post Script: The linens will be added to your Tab, which is not | |
| payable in poop deposits. | |

| Dear Puppy, | |
| Existential question: | |
| When a puppy destroys the broom and scatters it all over the | |
| basement, what does one use to sweep up the mess? | |

| Dear Puppy, | |
| Recently, I have begun to suspect that you do not know English*. | |
| So in a gesture of good will, I attempted a few phrases in | |
| Whine, the language of your ancestors. Maybe I got something | |
| wrong, as I cannot reach the higher two octaves you favor. And | |
| perhaps some of the nuance is lost on me. Regardless, I'm sorry | |
| if what I said offended you. | |
| But barking, growling and moving to the West End of the Couch to | |
| sulk seem like an unnecessary escalation. Shouldn't the goal be | |
| more or better communication? I guess the ball, which, for the | |
| record, you never return, is in your court. | |
| * A copy of this letter will be provided to your [s]trainer[/s] | |
| interpreter in the hopes that we can resume negotiations. | |
| Sincerely, | |
| Neighbor on the East End of the Couch | |

| Dear Puppy, | |
| Yes. You may sit in my lap. | |
| Could you do that without falling completely apart? Also, what | |
| is this nibbling thing you do and what is especially | |
| nibble-worthy about my boob area? | |
| Maybe don't answer that. | |

| Dear Puppy, | |
| All of this hiking is supposed to make you calmer. You know, "a | |
| tired dog is a good dog." | |
| But. Your tolerance for long difficult hikes is growing nearly | |
| as fast as you are. And then where will I be on the days I | |
| can't get you out for a proper romp? | |
| Also: your manners continue terrible. Terrible! Cheerful and | |
| friendly, yes, I'll grant you, but your self-control is not all | |
| that. | |
| Work on that, would you? | |

| Dear Puppy, | |
| Yes, it is pouring buckets. Yes, I know that you think this is | |
| the best thing ever. No, I will not play outside. Also, when | |
| you do come back inside, could you please refrain from doing | |
| laps around the house at high speed? | |

| Dear Puppy, | |
| I agree that it was considerate of The Verminator to provide you | |
| with an injured chipmunk. Yes, it did look delicious. For you, | |
| I mean. | |
| When you puked it up on my family room rug it appeared that you | |
| did not chew it even a little bit before swallowing. I suggest | |
| that this was a poor strategy. | |

| Dear Puppy, | |
| I know it is delicious, but the cream I slather on my arms and | |
| feet is not a snack for between meals. No, really! You get | |
| plenty of snacks, and I hand those to you. Yes, really! | |
| And if I oversleep by a couple of minutes, you probably will not | |
| starve to death. Yes, really! Chewing on my hair at 7:02 a.m. | |
| seems a bit dramatic and desperate, and neither of us loves when | |
| your deposits exit, dangling from one of my hairs. 🤢 | |
| While we are on the subject, other things that are not snacks: | |
| Rocks (please stop) | |
| Plastic bottle caps | |
| Metal bottle caps | |
| Clothes pins | |
| Screws | |
| Nails | |
| Dead sparrows on the sidewalk (🤢🤢) | |
| Popped balloons | |
| Lighters | |
| Pen caps | |
| Plastic bags | |
| Cigarette butts | |
| Leaves | |
| Grass | |
| What's left of the bamboo inlay on the kitchen chairs | |
| Zipper pulls | |
| My pants | |
| Hair accessories | |
| Sneakers | |
| My remaining flipflops | |
| Socks | |
| Paint chips (from where exactly?) | |
| Cardboard | |
| Paper, so damn much paper | |
| The Brothers Karamazov (where exactly are pages 1 through 258?) | |
| Anna Karenina (last 20 pages) | |
| My 2019 tax returns (yes, it was a tragic tome, much like Anna | |
| Karenina) | |
| The linen curtains, may they rest in peace | |
| Other stuff on the street | |
| Etc., etc. | |
| Basically, if I didn't give it to you, you probably shouldn't | |
| eat it. Neither of us likes my fingers in your mouth, right? | |
| The Very Enthusiastic Tradesman who petted you in an | |
| extra-friendly way says you should wear a special mask. Yes, | |
| similar to the one I wear when we go out. It keeps me from | |
| picking up bad stuff from strangers on the streets. | |
| Or you could just stick to the snacks I give you ... from my | |
| tasty hands. Think about it. | |
| Sincerely, | |
| Your roomie who cooks | |

| Dear Puppy, | |
| I previously mentioned my suspicion that you do not know | |
| English. I believe I was mistaken. | |
| But now it is starting to look like you are just a snob? | |
| Or maybe you have another explanation for your fascination with | |
| Russian novelists (English versions). First Dostoevsky, then | |
| Tolstoy, and now Nabokov?? They were on a high shelf "out of | |
| reach," so you must have made a special effort to reach them. | |
| Some excellent examples of American literature are right there, | |
| on a lower shelf. Yes, really! | |
| Either way, please ask before you borrow books. Just because | |
| they are on shelves in the hallway doesn't mean they are free | |
| for the taking. | |
| Also, I note that you've broken the spine on two of them, and | |
| they were "returned" with pages missing! Look, I, too, hate the | |
| ending of Anna Karenina, but that's no excuse for vandalizing | |
| literature or my property. | |
| Sincerely, | |
| Your roomie | |

| Dear Gerbil 🐭, | |
| Realize youre not a dog, but since you acted like one today, | |
| this story goes here. | |
| I just looked down at you in your cage & you reacted by freaking | |
| at the freaker's ball and running/hiding for your life. Sorry, | |
| lil sis. | |
| To make up it to you, I graciously let you eat a few small | |
| peanut dregs out of my hand as I rested it on the bottom of your | |
| cage to make it easy for you to reach the treats. | |
| Guess you got cranky when couldnt find any more peanuts: | |
| because you then crawled up onto my unsuspecting palm for 2 | |
| seconds and - yes - peed a little on me. | |
| Almost like a tiny dog peeing on a small fire hydrant. | |
| Man, I seriously get NO respect. | |
| Love, | |
| The Hand That Feeds You | |
