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, it’s Toby. I had a fun time camping! Next time, I think that you should let me sleep in your bed. Or maybe you could bring me a tent to sleep in. Or you could take me fishing with you. I bet I would be very good at fishing. I might sing and howl at the fish to get them to come out.

Hello, it’s Turtle. I am sad that no one took me camping or fishing. I bet that cats (like me) are very good at fishing. I could catch all the fish in the pond. But I do not like to get wet, so that might be a problem. Maybe I will not like fishing. I could just play with the worms. That might be a lot of fun. I think I would like that. Maybe you could find me some.
