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!

Hello! This is Toby. I got a new brush! It takes all my itchy fur out. I can’t wait until you brush me with it. I will lay nice and quiet in the grass and take a nap and all my itchy fur will pile up on the grass next to me. There are lots of little piles of my fur in the grass right now.










Hi, it’s Turtle. Today I got a neat toy – a foil ball. I was running around the kitchen, playing with it. It was lots of fun. A few times I kicked my ball down the basement steps and then carried it back up in my teeth. And then somebody let that dog inside, and he tried to EAT my toy. So they threw it in the trash. And then I got yelled at for putting my face in the trash and trying to get it back. I think that Toby should apologize, don’t you?
