to my dearest xueping,

i know you've a grand plan of getting a dog to get over your fears!

and i know you've been fighting for your right to own a dog.

a dog, in your opinion, that has no character.

and we went through the checklist for your (potentially) new doggy - must look cute.

simple!

then you came up with names for ur doggy, and even angie decided to call it miao mi.

and you can't get your dog cos of ur..........(lets not mention him)

and i came up with all sorts of plans so that you can gain upper ground!

including crying. or leashing a stuffed toy and dragging it arnd your hse!

AND YOU RECIPROCATE BY TELLING ME TO ASK FOR A BIRD?

i honestly, do not see the need for me to get over my **** (censored for my own good) of birds.

i do not WANT to see them at my place at night, when i can hide from them.

and..its so much easier to get a bird than a dog.

and birds are noisy.

my family's noisy enuf.

thank you very much.

i still love you.

somehow.

love,jing! *muack*
