Letter from a satisfied (and inquisitive) customer

Joey Gale (you've heard from him before, see this post) recently sent this email to Russ (the strange old man who hangs around Sparky's with his parrot, Kinky, and claims to work here, otherwise known as Tara's dad). Joey and Russ bonded after Joey boarded at Sparky's several months ago and got a little nervous about staying alone (and by nervous we mean LOUD). Now, they are the best of friends. But after you share a bed with someone for a few nights, face it - you're either gonna love 'em, or you're gonna hate 'em.

Dear "Pappa",
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed watching tennis with you the other day. I never knew you people could have so much fun with balls like we dogs can. My mom said I must have been dreaming about you that night because my eyes would move right, then left, then right, then left again really fast!!! Just like those tennis balls!! What other games do people play with balls? Can we watch them, too??? When my Mom & I watch TV (not the really fun shows like you & I watch. Who is this Dr Phil guy???), we sometimes eat pizza. Do you like pizza? My favorite is meat, of course! I do like green beans. And apples!! I love apples!! Have you ever heard of a dog that liked to eat apples????? Well, I better get off the computer before Mom gets out of the shower. I just wanted you to know I miss you when I go to work w/ Mom. It's so boring there. Sometimes she will take me around to see the patients & visitors. That's pretty fun. They make a fuss over me because I'm so cute!! They even made me my own official CarePartners name badge: Dr Joey, Smile Therapist. I'm hot stuff, WOOF!!!
I miss you & hope to see you soon,
Love, Joey
