Prey!

by carolynholm

Dear Mum,
Who is Mukluk?
Love, Elsa

Dear Elsa,
That’s a term of endearment, sweetie. I call all of you my Mukluks.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mum,
You have a lot of names for us.
Love, Elsa,

Dear Elsa,
I do. I find it entertaining. I hope you don’t mind.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mum,
I don’t mind. It’s just one of the ways humans are weird. Even our mousie toys have names. 
Love, Elsa

Dear Elsa,
I guess this new one must be Blue Mousie.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mum,
I hope Poppy doesn’t get hold of it.
Love, Elsa

Dear Elsa,
She is trouble, isn’t she! Too bad about Purple Mousie. She really tucked into that thing and shredded it to bits in no time. This one is from the same package. Apparently they have catnip in them, so I wonder if that’s what attracted her to it. 
Love, Carolyn 

Dear Mum,
She shouldn’t be playing with my toys.
Love, Elsa

Dear Elsa,
You’re right of course. But who can resist such exciting prey.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mum,
The only thing better is live prey! 
Love, Elsa

Dear Elsa,
Like bugs! You and Charlie are really on top of the bug situation. 
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mum,
Yup. Bugs are one of the best kinds of prey. 
Love, Elsa

Dear Elsa,
Hopefully we don’t have other live prey in our house. 
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mum,
There’s the creature on the ceiling.
Love, Elsa

Dear Elsa,
The WHAT?
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mum,
The creature with the green eye on the bedroom ceiling.
Love, Elsa

Dear Elsa,
The smoke alarm. Glad someone is keeping an eye on it. 
Love, Carolyn
