Dear Kelly,

I miss you and the dogs miss you. Mom decided to let Ginger sleep in the house and not leashed to our bed. I told mom that I thought the dogs would just both sleep downstairs. I was wrong. When I got up to go to work in the morning, look what I found!

I think this was all Ginger’s idea and not Charlie’s, because Charlie never got on furniture until now. I think Charlie decided to get on the top bunk because she can climb stairs, jump in the jeep, and is generally more atheletic than Ginger.

What do you think?

The good news (in case you are worried) is that Ginger did not chew up anything in your bed.

I guess the dogs really do miss you.

I am going to sleep in the lower bunk tonight, just to make sure the dogs don’t sneak back into your and Mary Claire’s bed.

However, I do want to see how Charlie climbs ladders, so I may lie real still and watch that, and then tell her to come back down and not get on beds ever again.

I hope you are having fun at camp. Please do not adopt any stray dogs that you meet at camp. Or cats, either.

Love,

Dad
