38th

Dear Boris,

Today was a difficult puppy day, and on my 38th birthday to boot. Every time I would try to work, you would bark angrily at me. I had to drop everything to play with you and give you treats and even then it wasn’t enough. I was supposed to take you with us on my birthday dinner but because you hurt my feelings, I decided to stay in instead. I ended up in tears and I wanted to be away from you.

It didn’t last long, though.

I guess it’s time to take you on real walks, especially now that you’ve completed your shots. We’re moving soon and it should be easier there. A giant darling chocolate Labrador lives in front of us and I asked the walker if we could join her sometimes.

Sometimes I feel regret, given that I am always up by 530 AM now and can’t go out with friends because of your meal schedule. We love you like mad but the adjustment is jarring. I can only imagine what life would be like if the universe decided to give us a human baby too!

So yeah. Today was tough but we’re in this to win this.

Love,

Mika
