Dear Secret Buddy who has Taffy,

I wanted this posted prior to ever receiving anything from you. It has been on my mind for the past few days and I want you to know beforehand.

I can guarantee Taffy will love whatever you send. In fact, should you mail a box of air, she will like it! What has me concerned though is a proper and special thank you.

Taffy is quite the active puppy and very difficult to photograph. Add to her "hyperness" my ineptness with digital photography and you begin to understand why I am concerned. I will do my best but I cannot guarantee we will be able to do your gift justice through visual means!

LOL... We may get a centerfold ... LOL Or we may get one of those blobs where others try to guess what in the world the picture is depicting! I just want you to be prepared for the worst photography imaginable.

I love all the cute visual presentations of gifts both past and present but I shudder to think of the scene here when I try to photograph our charming bundle of energy. Sometimes I actually think if you tied a light bulb to her tail, it would glow.

How do you capture pure energy in a two-dimensional format? All I can say is that I will try.

Thank you,
TOY and Taffy
