My Dearest Easy Off, Happy New Year darling! I hope you enjoyed your holidays. I am glad they are over. With all the company going in and out of our home, me, Bailey, Lilly and Elle had to spend hours in our cage. All these strange people would come into our room talking about how cute we were. These people did not care that we might be asleep, they would just start banging on our cage, making noises to call us like a dog! Crazy people, as though I look like Fido! Think again! Mother said she is so proud of us for leaving her Christmas tree alone. The first night I tried to play with it, but mother told me "NO," I hissed at her, but I was smart enough not to try it again. Lilly did try to carry off a few presents! That Lilly is something else. Bailey and Elle tried to carry off a few too. That Bailey is so funny, and I do love Elle like a sister, just like Lilly. My mother is counting down the days for your Ms. Millie to visit. She is very nervous. She said we all have to be on our best behavior, that means everyone better get it on the paper. No accidents for three days! Mother will be spending the next three days trying to clean our home. She says Ms. Millie is a very clean woman with her Noble Cleaning Crew. Mother says she has to have her Noble Cleaning Crew to clean her big home! I hope Ms. Millie and the human kid have a good time at our house. Maybe Ms. Millie will take a few pictures of me for you. I will miss seeing you Easy Off, you are the one that got this whole visit thing started. I love you EO, Oscar Ferret [Posted in FML issue 2546]
