Dad and mum are planning to go away later this year, when mum’s parents visit from someplace called “Australia.”
Normally dad makes arrangements for someone to take care of us when they go away (not that they go away often – I disapprove of them leaving) but this time we decided to take the initiative!
Dear Auntie Julie,
Mum and Dad and Grandma and Grandpa are thinking about going away to Maryland and DC for a weekend. It’s Grandma and Grandpa’s first time over here, so mum thought it would be fun. Normally Mum and Dad take us with them when they go away, but we don’t want to see the Washington Monument. Maybe if it was the Carrot Monument. Yum, carrots…
When we can’t go with them, they take us to board at the vet, like what they are doing when they go to Niagara Falls the following week with Grandma and Grandpa. But we didn’t like this idea, we hate the vet – if we had opposable thumbs we would kill her and take her treats.
But we digress, we told Mum and Dad that since its just for Friday and Saturday night, why don’t they just leave us at home?
That would be OK. We like it here at home. There is plenty of stuff for us to do, like chew the carpet or scratch up Mum’s brand new hand painted imported side-table (check us out in it below, we call it our Temple of Doom). Mum said we would be OK with pellets and hay, but Dad is all worried that we will miss our daily greens and treats. So we were wondering if you could come visit us just once over the weekend, maybe Saturday afternoon – and put out some fresh veggies for us. And treats. Don’t forget the treats. Lots of them. Treats. Mmmmmm. Actually, if you just want to give us just treats and no greens, that’s OK too.
We won’t bother you when you come visit, we will likely be sleeping and look at you with disdain and indifference. We may even leave you some poops as a thank you.
Love Gus and Betsy
I think we’ll get a good response… don’t you?
