Dear Dad...

Dear Dad,
I noticed that you spent a lot of time packing recently, but I didn't realize I wasn't going with you! I don't want you to go to India, cause it is further than Colorado. Colorado is as far as I can go. Since you wouldn't agree to change your trip, I tried throwing myself under your car to prevent you from going. But Mom reeled me out and let you go! I am stunned! And insulted! You better not adopt an elephant to replace me! Hurry home! We miss you!
Love,
Foley

PS Dagan says you can stay a while. He's liking sleeping in bed with Mom. He says that he is just keeping it warm for you, but I think he's planning a revolution for when you get home.
