Dear H, O and B,

In the end of February, I went up to a farm in Seligman, Arizona and picked a puppy for our family. He was the darkest puppy in the litter and I took to him immediately because he seemed very social.

Today, Dad and I played the best April Fool’s joke on you that we’ve ever played on anyone! We told you we were hiking up north. We got out of the car and waited at a stump. You were all complaining! There was a storm rolling in, you were cold, the ground was muddy, and hiking in a place like that just didn’t make sense! Then, down the road came a truck. Inside the truck was our beloved Dash! You were so excited when you saw him and realized we’d be taking him home!

Dash had a great ride home and a fantastic first day as a member of our family!

Love you,
Mama
