9:45 am

John Lennon: guys?

Paul McCartney: yes babe?

George Harrison: did you and Sam have a good walk?

John Lennon: we did

George Harrison: good 😊

John Lennon: anyway. I have a question

Paul McCartney: ask away

John Lennon: who taught Sam "heel"?

Paul McCartney: obviously not me

George Harrison: not me either

Ringo Starr: what does heeling mean?

John Lennon: well, I ask this because yesterday and this morning when I walked Sam, he walked beside me, and I tell him, "this is what heeling is"

Sam Lennon: woof!

Paul McCartney: and?

John Lennon: when I told him, "heel", he did it!

John Lennon: and the same thing happened this morning!

Paul McCartney: maybe it's because Sam is a very smart dog like the others

John Lennon: I guess you're right. Sam, I'm gonna make you a cupcake!

Sam Lennon: 😃

George Harrison: um, I might have used up all the ingredients

John Lennon: why?

George Harrison: I used them this morning to make a bad tasting cake for President Trump's birthday

Sam Lennon: 😭

George Harrison: don't worry Sam, I'll get the ingredients for Grandma so he can make you a cupcake!

Sam Lennon: ☺️

So this chapter was based on a true story. It really does show me Sam understands what I say to him, and that he's a really good and smart boy. Also, today marks 5 years since I met Sam, and I remember it like it was yesterday. Also, today is the president's birthday, so happy birthday to him, I guess...
