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. 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.
