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?

Who could resist such a letter?
Looks of disdain, and poops to top it all off.. don’t think Auntie Julie will be able to say no to all that!
This is a good letter, when she accepts her challenge perhaps a follow up letter with a list of treats and such like, just so that nothing is left to chance.
That is a lovely letter. We are sure that Auntie Julie will read it and run to the phone to call your mum and dad. She will beg to be the one to take care of you. This will serve 2 purposes:
1) It will save the vet’s life, if you should grow those opposable thumbs while your mum and dad are gone,
2) Auntie Julie will feel the love and disapproval of two wonderfully creative buns!
We hope all goes well!
That is the purrfect letter! We had Friend of the Animals do that for us and it worked good except that Chico bit her. So just the disdain and a few poops is probably a better idea.
