Dear Builder,

I would really appreciate it if you could be as speedy as possible on the new house that you are building basically right in our backyard. You see, I have a dog, who some would call a wuss, that just recently got over her fear of the grill on the back patio, and then you have to go and throw up a house! She is once again terrified to go potty outside. Bless her heart! The hammers, yelling and lovely Tejano music are scaring her to the point of the shakes! I know, she has a problem, but when she doesn't go potty outside, guess where she goes???? Yep, in the house! This leads to a problem in the mornings for me. Between the pleading, coercing, which leads to yelling and cleaning up pee I have been late to work the past 3 days now! It's maddening I tell ya!

So I would appreciate it tremendously if you would hurry and maybe not build anymore houses until she's grown out of this frantic stage. Thanks!

Unhappy wussy-dog owner.
