Dear Aunt Sarah,
I am writing to offer you my belated apologies for Max’s behavior last week. I would have written sooner, but
it has taken me several days to calm down after the calamitous events that took place at Thanksgiving dinner
and to put together what I hope is an acceptable explanation. First of all, if Max could speak, he would say
that he is very sorry for what he did. He might also point out that, at ten months of age, he is still a growing
puppy with an enourmous appetite to appease. If he could have predicted the shock and confusion that
ensued, he would never have pulled the turkey off the table and chewed off a drumstick. On the bright side, he
might add that we were at least able to enjoy the parts of the meal that weren’t tainted and can all look
forward to a more conventional holiday meal next year. Thanks so much for your understanding!
Love,
Erin
