the dog conversation that will not end

The other day I got a handwritten note from my son (aka Mac Story in case he needed to clarify who he was).  Please read:

It's a new take on the old "only and lonely child" story that he's sticking with.  The use of "sincerely" and the flourish of his signature were almost enough to break me.  Almost.

He's persistent and followed up with an email after his research about the best non-shedding apartment dogs:

Good job Mac.  How about you research now "how to make lazy boys who won't take care of their fish that they had to have into non-lazy boys who suddenly want to walk dogs and vacuum up after supposedly non-shedding dogs and clean up dog poop".  I wonder what Google has to say about that????

Sincerely, the mother of the only and lonely Mac Story
