Smudgums,

We are so proud of you! Congrats on becoming Dog of the Day! You can now look forward to lording your title over Ashbe, Shady and Sam, and of course let's not forget Niles, Thomas, Weezer and Foster (but watch out, I've heard Weezer bites!).

If you don't mind, however, we'll just keep this family story between all of us and not tell Baby Anna about it quite yet, okay? At least not while she's still getting all her toofers. Shhhhhh.....

You are such a beautiful boy! It's hard to believe that you're that same little ball of fluff that your mommy brought to the office that day. Here's to many more years of fun and adventure!

Love,

Aunt Shay
