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
