Dear Winston,
You and Puffin are becoming pretty evenly matched. This morning when you came along and attacked him while he was on my lap, he jumped down without even thinking about it. All he did was hiss.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
I really surprised him!!!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
It seems that you two are constantly sparring. 
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Yes!!!!!!!!! 
Winston

Dear Winston,
Sometimes I wish you wouldn’t. It can be annoying. 
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
No it’s not! It’s fun!!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
Dad says that when I was away, you two were a couple of pals. You kept walking around the house side-by-side. That’s sweet.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Of course we’re pals!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
I notice many of the attacks are when one of you is with me. Is there a bit of jealousy here?
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Not really. We just like to show each other who’s boss.
Winston

Dear Winston,
So, it’s all about dominance.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
I don’t know what that means. I just want to show Puffin a thing or two. Now that I’m taller than he is, he’s not the boss of me.
Winston

Dear Winston,
He’s got you beat on girth, though.
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
We’re even. 
Winston

Dear Winston,
So, you can stop sparring!
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
No!!!!! So, we need to keep sparring!!!!!!!!
Winston
