Dear Chloe,

You are such a sweet little girl. You are inquisitive, curious, precious and loving towards your Mom, Dad and your brother.  You are so eager to please us- or maybe it's the treats...but you come when you are called, know "sit" and "treat" and sort of know "shake".  You are always interested in what is going on, you are great with strangers, and only bark when the evil neighbors walk across our driveway.  You are cuddly, snuggly, and so adorable when you sleep on your back.  You are the best little girl I could have asked for.

So why, WHY, WHY must you keep me awake all night long?? You got enough sleep during the day, eh?  So you want to go "exploring" in the bedroom all night? Eat some more underwear?? HUH?? Or maybe that's not enough for you.  So you go sit by the door and BARK every 5 seconds for an HOUR because you want to go outside.  And then I'll put you in the bathroom and you bark at that door... so then we go outside at midnight and all you want to do is SNIFF AROUND?!?!?!

So then I take you and your brother who is SO TIRED into the spare bedroom so we can let Daddy sleep, and you sit on the edge of the bed and bark at the CEILING LIGHT?!?!?!

Chloe, Mommy loves you. But please.... let me get some sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
