Dear Shannon:

 

Can't wait to see you in October.  We had a lot of fun when I came to visit you.  However, I do hope that you have gotten over chasing me around the house.  You will learn that when you are five that "us dogs" need to take our afternoon naps in peace.  I have heard that I was the same at your age......so I will let you slide.  

 

Hope you are still getting a lot of biscuits?  (A little secret.....all you have to do is look up at them with sad eyes, throw them a paw every once and awhile and you'll have it made.....those biscuits will just keep on coming!!)

 

When you come and see me, I will take you to the pond behind my house and we can go chasing the ducks.  They are pretty quick though, so you will have to keep up if you are going to run with the big dogs!! 

 

See you soon!

 

Love your buddy Sampson
