An Open Letter to Malia and Sasha

Dear Malia and Sasha --

Congratulations to you and all your family. We are looking forward to your family becoming the First Family of the United States.

We know this will mean a lot of changes for you and your family. A big move from Chicago to Washington, D.C. New friends to make, a new school to attend.

And there is that new puppy. Now we're pretty partial to cocker spaniels. [psst, if you want one just as cute as ours, you can email me for the breeder's contact address at prairiesunrising at gmail dot com]

We hope that you both enjoy the grand adventure you are beginning, and we thank you for sharing your Dad with all of us.

We'll do our best not to be too demanding on his time, and we'll do our best to help him lead all of us forward to better times.

With love from the Sunshine Family.

A puppy of many colors just seemed appropriate right now. Doncha think?

Yes, I saw the debate. Of course Obama won. And McCain just made himself look more bad, that one. Somebody once said if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog. No, John McCain, you can't have mine.

But a dog would serve you a lot better than the corrupt and corrosive cronies you've chosen to surround yourself with these days. Just sayin'.

Ever faithful and as loyal a friend as we could ask.
Through the joys of every season
and the harshest of life's roads.
