Dear Dad

Dear Dad,
Not a bad weekend...went to a party on Friday night with some friends and hung out with Mel and Izzak last night to celebrate Mel's birthday. I had a good time...at both. I've been feeling lighter the last few days and just been enjoying what I'm doing when I'm doing it. This morning Eric and I got up and went out for breakfast...we were finally able to get into that Bakin & Eggs place. It's so silly, but I love the spelling of the restaurant name. It was the real reason that I wanted to step inside. Only to find the food was pretty good. I really enjoyed it. Oh, and I finally got to wear my new hat! The weather's been great: cool and crisp. Though sadness creeped out this afternoon when we took the dogs for a walk this afternoon and saw a dog tied to a tree sitting under a small sign with the words LOST DOG? painted in white. It broke my heart. He looked so confused, but was really friendly. I'm sure he's got a home somewhere. I want to help him find it, so I posted a link on craigslist. No one's called yet for him, but someone did call wanting to take him if no one claims him. Though I can't imagine being lost and instead of going home, going to some strange place feeling so scared and unsettled. Whisper something to his person...somehow send them my way so the dog can feel safe again and just...not lost.
