Letters from the Pets

Prior to the sensational duo that is Mia and Bailey, there was Toby and Turtle. Toby was the first corgi; he passed away a few years ago following a plucky battle with cancer. Turtle, as you may have already guessed, was a cat. Between 2011 and 2014, when our child was young, Toby and Turtle sometimes wrote short letters to our child, about their day or other Things of Import that had happened while she was at school or other activities. These letters have recently been unearthed from the great recesses of our child’s room, and so we have decided to share them with you. We hope that you enjoy them!

Hi, this is Turtle. There is a lightning bug in the bathroom. Actually, it is in the shower. It is very exciting! Well, it would be, if anyone would let me in the bathtub so that I could catch it. But every time I get into the tub someone takes me out. I do not think that is very fair.

Hello! This is Toby. It is very hot and my fur is very itchy. I roll around on the floor and try to scratch, but that makes Poppy very upset. So then I roll around outside. I wish you were here and could scratch me.
