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. The sheets on your bed have been changed now, and your bedspread washed. I went in and tried out the bed for you. It smells nice and is very comfy. I also took a lego out of your room and ran off with it. I left it in the house somewhere for you to find.

Hi, it’s Toby. I do not think it’s fair that Turtle gets to be on your bed and I am stuck on the floor. I want to try out the new sheets too. Maybe when you are back you can let me sleep on the bed with you and the stuffed animals.
