Good evening! We are getting ready for Hay-o-ween, with the emphasis on treats! None of Prudie's letters are treats, though.

#1- We know just how you feel. Once a month, the slaves pick us up and trim our nails! ! The indignity! We told them firmly how we felt it was disrespectful, by kicking the slave in the face and giving her a dueling scar. Well, after several months of looking like a slasher movie victim, the slave learned a new technique.Now we still don't like it, but she don't need stitches no more. You should thump that guy in the face real good. Or get him neutered. Or unbond from him and move out of his burrow. Actually, do all three, especially the neutering.

#2- Your mom doesn't remember what happened when she was sick, and you don't want to tell her. If she keeps insisting, tell her about the cop, the goat and that wierd stain on the living room carpet. She'll stop soon. If she doesn't you may have to nip her and remind her that you are weaned now, and living in your own burrow, not hers.

#3-You want everyone in the warren to come over and snuggle and eat carrots with you, except for their bondmates. Your excuse is that the litterbox is too small, and no one would be able to poop in the corner. Thump! to that. We are all bonded! There's a reason that we sit all the time with our heads snuggled together, it makes it easier to gossip about rude ones! Maybe you can do something more informal, like eat the baseboards or chew up a cardboard box. Hey, when you're bonded, you even go to the V-E-T with your mate if you have to!

#4- So your daughter was with an animal hoarder, and the shelter took her away and adopted her out to you. We're glad it worked out, but she wants to get away from her first family now. Let her stay away for now. Maybe Prudie's right, she may be afraid she'll go back to the shelter, or back to the hoarder. Just let the other family know what's going on, and keep their info in case she wants to visit later. OK, we hear it's different for humans. Our slaves would kill the people we came from. But it sounds like she's unbonded from them, and totally in your warren now.

Video: If you're not planning to steal the smoky things and chew them up, don't bother. Stay in your own burrow.If you just want to make trouble, hop into the bathroom and run off with a towel while the humans are using the liquid litterbox. Great fun!
