Dear Aunt Beth


The weirdest thing happened


You won't believe this.


Julia and her roommates


wrote a thank-you note to you


for some treats you sent them

 


I notice you didn't send treats to me


but there is neither here nor there.


Where was I?


Oh--the note

 


Well first a big wind came along


and it blew the note into a puddle


or a lake


Some body of water.

 


I tried to rescue it


by ever so gently


picking it up in my mouth


I set it on a surface --


like it was maybe a table?

 


The next thing I know


The cats were walking out of that room


Licking their lips

 


I'm not accusing anyone of anything


but it was sketchy


They placed the damaged note


near my chew toys

 


So anyway


Glad to be of service


Love, Gus
