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, its Turtle. Can you guess what that dog did? He made me eat a leaf! Well, I did not actually eat it. But I was minding my own business, and he told me that there was something good to eat in the kitchen. So I went in there and started munching and it turns out I was munching on a leaf! I do not that that is funny.

Hi, it’s Toby. I did no such thing. It’s not my fault that Turtle tried to eat a leaf. I tried to tell her. I came inside and sniffed it, because I could tell that it did not belong on the kitchen floor. I could tell right away that it was Not Food. I even told Turtle, “This is NOT good to eat.” Is if my fault if her hearing is not as good as mine? No, it is her own fault that she tried to eat a leaf.
