Employee’s Letter to the Dog Who Ignores Her at Work Will Make You Have an Uncontrollable Fit of Giggles

dog named Ziggy

Below is a sample of the love letter Ziggy’s office-mate has written to her unrequited but beloved dog-love!

Everyone loves Ziggy. And Ziggy loves everyone. Except me. Day after day, and despite my best efforts, Ziggy repeatedly ignores me. It’s been difficult for me to deal with. After all, Ziggy is a dream dog, a certified Dingus, and a great cuddler — or so I hear. I’ve never gotten to experience any of that. Finally, after months of excruciating and expensive counseling, my therapist, Dr. Wilder*, suggested I write a letter to Ziggy himself.

Maybe you’re afraid. Afraid to fall, to feel, to hurt. I get that. I’m scared, too, Ziggy. But I can’t fall further than I already have. Because I’m in this. I’m so in this, it’s insane. And if you’re too scared or proud or busy chewing your toys to notice me, then that’s on you.

And you’re missing out. Because I’m one hell of a catch, Ziggy: I give fantastic belly rubs. I’m a pushover with dog treats. And I love fiercely. When I fall for a dog, I’m all in. You get 110% of me, 24/7.

I recognize that you are your own dog, so it’s your right to do what you like with whomever you like. But I am my own woman — albeit a fragile, insecure shell of a woman — so it is also my right to expect unconditional love from all the dogs. Including you.

And what is it about me that is so unappealing? I mean, other than this letter? Is it something small, like the scent of my hair? Or is it something bigger, like my overbearing love for you or the fact that you’re objectively much better-looking than me?

Are you even reading this, Ziggy?

I know I need to move on. Trust me, I’ve tried. But it feels as if I’m the one with a leash around my neck, and you’re the one holding it.

Before we part ways, Ziggy, I just want to thank you. I now realize you taught me so much about life and love and myself. You taught me that love is something that everyone feels differently and on their own time. That my love makes me strong, not weak. That I should never settle.

So, farewell to thee, my sweet, elusive, unknowable Ziggy. I don’t know when I’ll see you next.

Hopefully tomorrow. I’ll probably text your mom and ask if she’s gonna bring you in.

All my love,
Katie, The Girl You Always Ignore

We love the sense of humor behind this letter. The poor girl just wants to be noticed by Ziggy, as we all do by the most popular boy in school. Sadly, her unhappiness boarders on obsession and we think she needs a few more trips to her psychiatrists office.

What do councilors’ say? The first step on the road to getting healthy is admitting you have a problem. LOL!
