This is Freddy Astaire Graves III speakin'. It was late late LATE last night...the house was all dark and ALL 11 of us was on the big bed with mommy. Everybody was sleepin'...includin' mommy...everybody was sleepin' but ME, that is! All you could hear was purrin' and snorin'.
I was lonely so I accidently on purpose bopped mommy on the head with my paw and said "Hi Mommy...looks like you can't sleep! I will keep you company"...she rolled over and I curled up into her arms. We had us a very long talk.
We talked 'bout what a good family we have and how we are so blessed and how happy we are to be togethers. I thanked mommy for hearin' me ask her if I could go home with her the first time she saw me in the cage at Aunt Doktor Dugan's office. Not every bean can hear when us cats talk with 'em. Mommy also talked 'bout how worried she is 'bout her mommy since she is so terribly very real bad sick. I gived mommy lots of headbutts tryin' to help her feel betters.
And then...well...mommy told me somethin' real important. This is real big, peoples...you might want to make sure you are sittin' down before you read this. Mommy pulled me real real REAL close and said, "Freddy, I want you to know that out of ALL the boys in the world named Freddy Astaire Graves III, you are my favorite. I love YOU more than any other boy named Freddy Astaire Graves III. You are the BEST one that has ever been or ever will be."
Wow. It just don't git any bigger or better than this, peoples. Bein' loved and havin' a home sure is wonnerfuls.
Very truly yours,
Freddy Astaire Graves III
