Okay I have bad news. I was going to give him the letter today but I told my mother what I was going to do... big mistake. She begged me not to and said it would only make matters worse because nothing will ever chaneg his mind. He's old and stubborn (and quite horrible if you ask my opinion), and giving him that letter would only make matters worse, according to my mother. So I was forced not to give it to him. I thought it was at least worth a try but I guess she is right... he flips out over everything and takes it out on my grandmother, who is the sweetest woman alive. I don't want her getting in trouble... but I don't want to be 4 weeks without my baby this summer (we are going up there 2 weeks starting Saturday and another 2 weeks in August). This is so hard! I spent a half hour crying over it today, hugging Daisy and apologizing to her. I caught Dad with tears in his eyes as he pet her today too. This whole situation just shouldn't even be going on; it just seems wrong to deny him of what he wants. Maybe it's just me...

Anyway, on a lighter note, thank you for your happy Father's Day wishes My father was very happy when I told him all my "Pet Talk Friends" said hi. He has heard so much about you all! Hehe.

So thank you for all your advice on my letter but I'm afraid all my work was in vain.
