Simple request approved.

My dear Molly,

Although it is very early in the Realm, I decided to clear my floor workspace, chew on neglected correspondence, and to discuss that Matter of Great Importance.

We got quite a chuckle over your dances in the sprinkler.

Old Tiger does send a caution it would be best to avoid leaping and frightening the petite cardinal pair.

That couple was very shy and reclusive even before you arrived.

So please restrain yourself while they are nibbling the Lantana berries.

Those scarlet feathers are cherished by all residents of the Realm – especially RC who finds them enchanting.

So cut it out.

A howl to the wise is sufficient?

Now enough lecturing  mentoring. Back to that Matter of Great Importance.

Old Tiger and I are grateful you and RC have offered one of your Guardians so save us from Extreme Distress while our Person must be away.

That last attempted to abandon us  see us kindly treated and pampered at the Pet Retreat was most disturbing.

I grow weak at the memory.

Before being tossed out of the mobile window transport bribed with yummy treats false promises to enter that spa resort dubious establishment, I consulted with the Old Danish Gentleman at the dog park.

We followed his suggestions: locate the video cameras and look completely pathetic.

With great difficulty, I was able to refuse my pre-packaged meals from home. (Old Tiger says he did the same, but I have my doubts. You can’t trust cats.)

I huddled back in my jail cell room when the door opened. I was expected to mingle with dogs? Appalling.

Once dragged into in the cell block with other happy campers incarcerated dogs, I folded myself under a table and remained there: no matter if the nice ladies guards offered toys or pets – no matter if other Germans nosed in inviting me to make a break for it play. I slumped and presented the most pathetic image possible.

All in plain view of the cameras that I knew my doing the best she could Person was monitoring constantly out of guilt.

It worked.

Alternative plans were made this time.

We are so grateful, RC and you are willing to contract out one of staff for a short period.

But curious as to why only Feline Greenies were requested in return.

Really, Molly, nothing for yourself?

Is it wise to let RC handle all negotiations?

Please consider.

Rest assured we shall treat your loaned Guardian with care and are preparing for company.

You can see I am warming the preferred spot on the couch in front of the TV.

Your kindness and sacrifice is greatly appreciated, (but no need to tell RC that.)

The German

Don’t worry. Company’s coming

Woo Woo back at ya’, German!

So jumping wildly happy to hear from you.

I know what it’s like to be abandoned without a Guardian to give hugs and treats, so it’s OK for you to borrow one of mine ours – for only a short while.

We’re sending the one who walks the fastest – RC said you would like that. No way I’m going to give up the one who hands out treats if you make a cute face.

RC Cat is preparing a check list to use while we are short staff…

It’s rather extensive…

I do have concerns about it.

There are pages and pages about menus for RC’s meal, RC’s snacks, RC’s treats between snacks, RC’s ice ream requirements after dinner, RC’s morning mousies, RC’s night-time mousies, sunny room schedule for RC’s naps, RC’s open window schedule.

Pages and pages.

RC swears there’s stuff in there for me, too.

But every time I ask to see, she sprawls on top of the pages, fluffs up really big, and hisses, “I’ve got it covered. I’ve got it covered!”

I hate to cause an incident as I am still a new member of the realm, but should I worry?

Even short-staffed, we will manage. I will be on my best behavior to make life easier.

I have been controlling my teeth and have not redesigned my bed recently because once the sewing Guardian is gone, I figure if my bed somehow gets ripped to shreds, I can simply sleep on the bed with this Guardian…RC can relocate to the couch….She can enjoy the nocturnal view of the outer realm from there.

I’m so excited because this Guardian allows me to run wildly through carefully monitor the sprinkler operation of the backyard realm.

As you can see, we are planning here, too.

Please keep our Guardian busy and remember to insist on lots of walks outdoor.

RC says she shall counsel the Guardian on appropriate paw wear.

We have heard your area is experiencing cooler weather with storms.

So RC is anxious this Guardian is kept warm and dry.

I offered to include some hair tumbleweeds of my own to be used as insulation, but RC assured me that was unnecessary as there would be plenty in supply from you.

This made me uneasy. German. This is only a temporary arrangement.

My Guardian is not to become dependent on you for warmth.

So I will sneak in a little of my hair as a reminder.

I suspect RC has already planned to do the same as I caught sight of her sitting pensively in the suitcase.

Oh, the birds are requesting I chase them waiting for me to patrol, so will paws with this.

Your friend in fur,

Molly, the Mauler (Not really. Only a puppy in a chewing stage….)

So sad about your soggy weather. I’ll bark at a few seagulls in your name.
