Cher Madame,

Mia has found this interesting box. C’est food!!!

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,

Did Mia get on the counter again? She is such a rascal. That is not food intended for cats.

Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,

Mais je voudrait dire, this is a delicious smell. Pourquoi these starving little cats cannot have it?

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,

It does smell wonderful, doesn’t it? It’s fettuccine with a porcini mushroom sauce that came home in a doggie bag when we went out for dinner last night.

Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,

Je suis shocked. Shocked. Madame brings home the delicious food for the dog? That depraved dog Poppy?

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,

No, silly. A doggie bag is just a funny expression. It’s what we call it when the restaurant gives us our left-overs in a takeout container, to finish at home. It’s funny because it’s as if we are too embarrassed to ask for it for ourselves so we ask for it for the dog.

Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,

This makes no sense. And it’s not even funny. You bring home the food for le dog and not for your starving cats?

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,

No honey, it is not for Poppy. It’s for me. And you two cats are hardly starving. Especially you, sweetie. You are quite portly.

Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,

Toujours, toujours le sarcasm.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin
