Dear postal delivery guy: You are awesome. You deliver my weird and heavy things without complaints, and you always have a cookie for my little pup! She is spoiled now for anyone carrying a shoulder bag because she wants some lovin’! Thanks for knowing I moved one address down so I didn’t have to redirect my mail, and thanks for explaining the impending strike so I didn’t freak out. I am moving, so I am going to miss your awesome service. I hope I can move back onto your route again in the fall. —Little Black Dog’s Mom
