Dear The Dog,
You are a very good dog. You don’t bite or jump. You are 100% housebroken. You don’t chew up our clothes or shoes, and you don’t dig in the trash. I appreciate all of this.
However, if you continue waking me up repeatedly between 3:30 and 5:00 a.m., you better be ready to throw down.
Respectfully,
The Person Who Pays For Your Food, Shelter, Toys, and Medical Care
I see a lot of implicit threats and not much action! Throw down! Throw down!!!!
