When you were 2 or 3 you begged for a dog, so I told you we would get one when you turned 7. Honestly, 7 sounded like forever away and I was hoping you'd forget the next day. A few days later you were allowed to pick something out at Target, you chose a dog toy for your future dog. At that point I realized you were not going to forget.
Now here you are at age 6, and turning 7 in 5 months. As part of us preparing to buy a dog for the family we have been taking care of two dogs for our good friends Jason and Nicole. Manziel and Zena have stayed with us twice and it is clear that you need a dog in your life.
You gave me this note to show me you know how to take care of a dog.
