Hi love –

I don’t really know where to start. Another Monday. Nice out today, good summer weather. I’m writing to you after one of my many meetings today ended early.

This morning I got a call from grandpa and it was a tough one. I really really really hope you get to meet Shamus but if you don’t, he’s the best dog in the world. And grandpa called to tell me that they’re taking him to the vet today and that they might have to put him down. It seems so strange to be telling my unborn baby about a dog who might need to get put down because they’re such polar opposites but it’s weighing on me pretty good. Shamus is my boy. I picked him out and held him on the ride home when he was just a little puppy, wiping his mouth because he was car sick. He’s the sweetest with the best kisses. These days he’s slowing down but I still see the same spirit and love from him. He’s such a good dog. When the day comes, I’m going to miss him like crazy.

I don’t know what else to say.

Love you big time,

Dad
