Dear Roxy: 
I owe you an apology. I am so sorry for sucking your tail up into the vaccum last week while I was cleaning the kitchen floor. It was completely unintentional, as was the way I frantically switched it to two other settings making the situation worse before finally turning it off and helping to free what was left of your precious little tail. You had such a hurt look in your eyes, and despite what you may have thought, it was purely accidental. I truly wanted to cry for the pain I caused you. I am so sorry!

The truth of the matter is that
somedays I just have way too many little ones under my feet. It gets really tricky dodging everyone. I will have to try harder though, that is all there is to it.
Oh, and please forgive Parker for thinking the ordeal was hysterically funny. His continuous laughter was completely inappropriate. Someday he'll understand that pain inflicted upon you is no laughing matter, and he'll be sorry for getting a kick out of it.
Please find it in your heart to forgive us.
Sincerely Yours,
Michelle & Family
