Dear Mr. Goodrich,
Thank you for giving my family one of Sadie’s puppies.
I keep her in my room with me and she lets me know who I can trust. Are Wheaten Terriers the only dog that gives a Wheaten Greetin’? My friend Monica says her dog does that, too, and it’s not a Wheaten Terrier.
Sincerely,
Emma McKee

Dear Emma,
Wheaten Terriers are the only dog that gives a Wheaten Greetin’, but every other dog has the same skill, they just call it something else. There’s the Basset Hound “Howdy,” the West Highland “Hi,” the Yorkshire “Yo,” the Great Dane “Good to see you,” the Poodle “Pleased to meet you”, The Australian Shepherd “G’day mate,” the wiener dog “Long time no see,” and the Labradoodle “wazzuuuup.”

I’m glad you like your Sadie puppy and I’m glad she’s keeping you safe. Sadie had 5,000 plush toy pups and we’re delivering them on every air conditioning service call.

Thanks for writing, Emma!
Ken Goodrich
Goettl. G-oh-E-TT-L, it’ll keep you cool, but it’s hard to spell.
