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. A few days ago I got my nails cut. I do not like that. Except when I get a biscuit after I am done. At least I did not get a bath. Right now I am nice and stinky, just how I like to be. I hope I get to stay that way for the rest of the year.

Hello, it’s Turtle. I think that someone should give that stinky dog a bath. I wash myself every day. He should not be so stinky and dirty. I can’t believe that people would want to snuggle with such a dirty dog when they can pet a nice clean, soft cat like me. Would you rather pet a clean, soft cat or a stinky, dirty dog?
