My dear Catherine.

From: Your beloved pet, Basil.

To: Catherine Daerwun.

My dearest Catherine,

It is with the greatest love and care that I have to write to you. I am really concerned about the other pets you have been seeing lately. I know that it’s a part of your job. But still. I can not stand it that you have to take care of other pets. Okay, fine. Maybe you can’t help it. Either way, it’s not me, it’s you that’s bringing me so much pain. If this doesn’t end, I’m afraid I’ll have to take matters into my own hands.

How would you like it if I spent more time with other humans, or even worse your neighbors? I know that you’ll end up even keeping me locked in the house, especially if you always catch me playing in other people’s gardens. I’m doing my best here, Catherine.

I love you so very much and I wouldn’t want anything to ever come between us.

P.S. I ate the last piece of your ribs. I’m sorry. I couldn’t help myself. Those smoky ribs were the bombdiggity.

With lots of love,

Your loving pet,

Basil.

Catherine: (stretches) Good morning,

Basil! Who’s a good boy?

Basil:(barks).

Catherine: I wonder what you dreamt about. I’m sure I was in it.

Basil to himself- If only I could write in real life. Ah, just have to believe that my human understands my barks.
