Hey Mom,
Sometimes you drool when you sleep.
Winston

Dear Winston,
Thanks so much for pointing that out.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
No problem! I prowl around and watch everyone. I like the early morning when the air is blue.
Winston

Dear Winston,
That’s a beautiful time of day, isn’t it?
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
I don’t know about beautiful. I like it because everyone else is asleep. Except sometimes Puffin. He gets grumpy in the morning. That’s when he whacks me.
Winston

Dear Winston,
He’s grumpy because he thinks it’s time for us to wake up and provide breakfast. He’s always grumpy in the morning, because he’s hungry. 
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Not me.
Winston

Dear Winston,
No, you graze all day and all night. For you, the timing isn’t such a big deal. But sticking to a schedule means a lot to Puffin.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
I watch Poppy sleep, too. She talks in her sleep.
Winston

Dear Winston,
She does! It’s so cute, she twitches her feet and makes little yippy sleep barks.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Probably going after the squirrel.
Winston

Dear Winston,
No doubt.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Puffin talks in his sleep too.
Winston

Dear Winston,
He does. Something between a moan and a growl. I wonder who he’s threatening in his dreams.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Probably me. 
Winston

Dear Winston,
Good guess.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Then I grab one of my krinkly foil toys and bat it around in your bed. Until it disappears.
Winston

Dear Winston,
It disappears under my pillow so that I can go back to sleep without a maniac batting a toy around in my bed.
Love, Carolyn
