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. Today it was very, very hot outside. I wanted to be outside (I like being outside), but it was too hot. Inside it was cool, so I asked to go inside. But after I was inside, I wanted to go back outside. I wanted to be inside AND outside at the same time. Has that ever happened to you? Maybe that is why people like camping.

Hello, it’s Turtle. Today I decided to try some new things. I tried to help with a puzzle, but got yelled at for being on top of the coffee table. I tried to plant some seeds, but got in trouble for getting dirt everywhere. I also tried riding on the treadmill with Poppy, but got put on the floor instead. I guess I will have to find some other things to do. Do you have any ideas?
