Dear Liz,

We, the undersigned, beseech that you will allow Teddy to keep his tail, at least until Gae Gae Elaine (Teddy's grandmother) can see it.

While we acknowledge this may bring some embarrassment for you, that needs to be measured against the joy we will get when Gae Gae sees it for the first time.

Please, please, please!

Thank you,
