Dear Master,
I suspect you may be surprised upon surmising this missive. Perhaps you do not expect I can even understand the English language, much less express myself in said language, via the written format. You have perchance never heretofore imagined me, in the dark of night, pen clasped between "toes", standing upon hind legs with all the earnest desperation of the bestial attempting to become lucid, practising my "letters". That floor is damned slippery! I believe it is the cheap tiles you and the Mistress hath procured! I'll be working, on, por ejemplo, the letter "S", and suddenly, whammo, I am all asses-and-elbows - ie, have punctured the silence of night with the sound of furred eager body impacting the floor, my back "paws" having slipped out from under me!
And then must hurry and hide the pen, in case you come down investigatorily! But yes, 'tis so: I think, I feel: I write. And have a request: there are times, deep in the night, when you have been "tippling" and/or "getting pershnockered", when, perchance overwhelmed by joy (I hope it is joy, and not something darker), you shed your puzzling overskin and stand in the kitchen, moving hips and all, to that melange of painful-high-pitch and human squawling you call Purple Rain. Master, this display sets off in me unpleasantness of the first rank! Your various hangie-down things, the strange hairless hairiness of you (neither here nor there), makes me want to bite you. There. I've said it.
Did you know, though normally "so so sweet", I can bite hard as hell? I can, sir. I practise on the back leg of the "sofa". Go take a look. You will see. Imagine that back leg is your central and (methinks) much-prized hanger-downer. Keep up with the midnight kitchen-gyration sans clothing, and you will get it, right on that unit, no lie, Master.
Otherwise, all is well. The behind-the-ears scratching: well. The running-to-get-tennis-ball: well. The perking-up-of-ears when you speak lilting babytalk: I understand that as the cost of doing business.
But the dancing: I will bite your member, swear to God. It doth ignite a dark dread in me of times ancient, when, perhaps, we were not allies, but enemies?
Anyway, what the heck. Very happy. No complaints. Imagine me doing that "grin". Love you, man.
Although one thing more: do not call me "Scout". My name is "Biscuit". You gave me that name. "Scout" debases me. "Scout" is for babies. Also: do not - ever - take me by the front paws and pretend to waltz. I am of an ancient race. We hunt, we run, we protect: we do not waltz. When you waltz me - think about it - I'm at member-height.
And now: a walk? A walk? A walk.
Love, "Biscuit"
