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 Toby. Did you know that I have to go to Grandma and Grandpa’s house next week? I will have to put up with their crazy puppy all week! She had better be good. Do you think that she will?

Hi, it’s Turtle. How is gymnastics? I wish that I could be in gymnastics. I bet that I would be very good at it. Cats are very good at climbing and jumping and doing flips. I think it would be a lot of fun. There should be cat gymnastics. Would you watch it?
