Dear Shep,

You’re kissing everything these days….not just Raffie anymore. The only issue is that you’ve been a bit stingy giving them to humans (including your Daddy and me) but you hand them out like spare change to every single inanimite object in this house. It’s so exciting for us to see you hear a phrase and know exactly what to do, even though at times it results in us having whatever food you have kept hidden in your mouth on our cheek or lips. Having you give away a kiss here and there means the World to your Daddy and me. I sure do wish you would give us a few more. Not to bribe, but I hear Christmas is just around the corner…..

Xx Mommy (Santa’s favorite narc)
