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. Yesterday,
Mommy took a nap because she was sick. I was taking a nap with her and licking
her face. She did not like that and kicked me out. I do not know why she did
that. If I were sick, I would like to have someone licking my face. It would
make me feel better and help me to fall asleep.
Hi, it’s Toby. Last night
Mommy dropped a cough drop on the floor and I tried to eat it. It tasted very
strange. I did not like the paper on the outside, because it kept sticking to
my tongue. The inside was better because it was crunchy, but I still did not
like the taste. I thought it would taste nice, like candy. But it did not. Why
do people eat those things?

Hello, it’s Turtle. Would you
like to know what Toby does all day when no one is home? He sleeps on the
couch. All day. And sometimes he barks at me.
Hi, it’s Toby. I do not sleep
all day. Turtle sleeps all day. I have to bark at her to wake her up. I have
Important Things to do, like walking around and making sure everything in the
house is safe. Sometimes I may take a short nap on the couch, but I do not
sleep ALL day.

Hi, it’s Toby. When is Turtle
going to get a bath? People are always giving me baths, but I don’t see her
getting them. And she is always getting into things and making messes, even
more than I am. I don’t think that’s fair, do you?
Hello, it’s Turtle. Someone
needs to remind Toby that I spend hours a day washing myself. Does he do that?
No, I don’t think so. Also, today I tried to ride the treadmill while Mommy was
on it. I thought it was a good idea at first. But then it started moving. Then
it was not fun anymore. I do not like the treadmill when it is moving. And I do
not think that it was very nice of Mommy to laugh at me when I jumped off.
