The Kingdom of Peas

Say Hello to Little Effie

 

Millie here. I have been very sad since Poppy left us; I wouldn't eat my nibbles at first and started making sneezy noises, so I had to start taking antibiotics. Mom and dad were so worried about me that they decided to go and find me a friend to look after me. They found me the smallest dumbo rat in the world, and her name is Effie. She's very clean, loves licking my noggin and jumping all over me. She's also very brave; she didn't cry at all when she jumped into the chocolate milk bowl by accident and got soaked, or when mom had to rush her off to the bathroom to give her a bath. I think Poppy would have loved her, so I am going to love her too. 

Bye Bye, My Beautiful Sister...

 

Millie here. We have all had a very big shock. Poppy had a stroke last night and passed away. It was so sudden. She was happy, having her nibbles and lots of scritches... then she went sleepy, and she was gone. A girl couldn't wish for a more loving, beautiful and kind sister. I miss her so much. Mom chose this picture of her because she always loved green nibbles.

Poppy Thinks She's a Bat

 

Millie here! Poppy has taken to sleeping almost upside down. I have given this matter a lot of thought, and I have reached the conclusion that she thinks she's a bat. I know the reason for this. Dad was saying that he wants a bat detector so he can listen to us when we giggle. This caused some confusion, and Poppy said that if we really are bats we should be sleeping upside down. I told her we're not, and that dad is the one who's batty. After all, everyone knows that bats are the things you hit balls with, and nobody ever tried to hit a ball with me. I would give 'em a kick if they did! Anyway, Poppy has been sleeping like this ever since. I told her that if she's not careful all the peas she had for dinner will rush to her head and clog up her ears, but she won't listen to me... probably because they've already rushed there.
