Dear Tyler,

Another weekend has come and gone. Didn't do to much today. We went to Walmart and did grocery shopping. Wait until you hear this Ty... Thought were we doing something nice by taking the pups for a ride because it was cooler out with a breeze, but boy was that the wrong answer and thing to do. We were in there for 1 hour and when Mark went to go get the vehicle because it was a down pour, he was greeted by Walmart security and 2 women that were saying that we were being neglectful and abusing the dogs because they were left in the truck when it was warm. I finally got tired of waiting for Mark so I went looking for him and when I approached the vehicle I saw the same thing... security officer and these 2 bitching ladies. They got all up in our faces and started saying so many things to both Mark and I. I was getting really angry and I told the security officer that 1 of the ladies needed to shut up because I didn't want to hear her talking anymore. The same woman said something that I don't even remember what and I asked her if she was threatening me. I wanted to lose my cool when she said that I was an " animal killer". That really hurt. I am nothing of the sort. The ladies said they were calling the Police on us and that I was " going down ". The security officers said we were fine. The ladies went too far. Guess we shall see what tomorrow brings. I guess I am just upset because anyone who knows me knows I love animals especially my dogs. They are not abused, they are loved and very spoiled. Ugh.... people should just keep there nose on there own face and not butt in or judge anyone before they have or know the facts. I can hear you now, Ty.... saying some pretty colorful words about what happened. Trust me.. Mark n I totally agree! Anyways... that was our day. Not the best but not the worst. I just don't know what to do anymore with Max. I can't leave the apartment because all he does is bark and the lady that lives above us complains about him and now we can't take him with us because of what happened today. I am completely against muzzling animals and using a shock collar, but we didn't know what else to do so we tried them, and honestly they don't work. I can only do what you would want me to do and that is to continue taking care of Max the way that I am. Keeping him comfortable and love him.  
 I hope that you are having a better day and night. I miss you so much. I wish that I could talk to you about all this instead of typing it out. These are the hard times. The extra times I miss. You would make things all better. Just hearing your voice would make it ok. I love you unconditionally. Do me a favor... watch over Mom and Mark alittle extra tonight and the next few days? Thanks pumpkin. 
 Sweet dreams my precious son. To the moon and back and all the stars in between.. that is how much I love you! Always, xoxoxo. Muah!
