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, it’s Turtle. Today, Mommy took me to the vet I did not like driving in the car and pooped in the crate on the way there. I was very good at the vet, and every one said I was cute and wanted to pet me. I was very good when they looked at my eyes and my ears and my teeth. I was also very good when they gave me my shot. I don’t know why Toby makes such a fuss about getting shots. If you act like a good kitty, everyone likes you and wants to pet you.

Hi, it’s Toby. I’m glad that I did not have to go to the vet today. I do not like getting shots or having people look in my ears or teeth or eyes. Turtle had to get a bath when she got home. That was funny. She didn’t like it and shook a lot when she got out. I was also glad that Turtle had to get a bath and I didn’t.
