On Valentine's Day they left two valentines on my front porch, one from each of them, with two chocolates, shaped like a heart and a bee. The nine-year-old wrote "Happy Valentines Day!" in a starburst, and drew a butterfly and a bee. The five-year-old drew two hearts, and wrote "I LOVE" twice, and drew a stick figure holding one of the hearts on a string. I think the stick figure is wearing a mask maybe? There is another circle drawn over the stick figure's face, with six tiny hearts inside it.

This morning another valentine appeared on my front porch. "For your dog, Susan" is written on the envelope in their mother's handwriting. Inside is a tiny pink paper heart, on which the five-year-old has written LOVE FROM FINN.

But which dog is it for?

Is it possible to die of the adorable?

Oh that's so sweet.

Is it possible Finn isn't aware of more than one dog? Maybe you should answer with a note containing doodled dog portraits...

I have printed a cat's pawprint on paper before; the dogs may be more amenable (or not -- they're larger than my old cat). Drawing pawprints is easier, though.

Awww, neighborly valentines, even for doggos! How excellent.
