From the desk of Alice - New Arrival

My Dearest friends,

It has been a long cold winter since I last wrote. I debated about writing several times, but I feared that the messenger would get caught in a winter storm as they headed through a mountain pass to deliver my musing. I would not want to put someone's life in danger over my inspiring thoughts. (Aside: the Fuzzy Giant assumes that I have no idea how the internet works. But I know. It involves mountain passes.)

The biggest news lately is that my Ultra has arrived - Code Name Isaac. I have to admit, although I was pleased with his gifts of a new backpack, butterfly rubber boots and stickers, I am a little disappointed that he is not yet up to the tasks that I have assigned him. He has been here several days and as yet has not helped me overthrow The Giants in their tyrannical rule. I say, if the people want to eat cake for dinner, let them eat cake!

There appears to be a lot of interest in the new arrival. I've been trying to inspect him as often as I can in order to determine the point of interest, but alas I cannot. Apparently he is currently in the ESP stage of his life. I will assume that it will take him another week before he will be capable of pushing me on the swing at Grandpa's Park.

In other news, my Giantese continues to develop, both in vocabulary and concepts. In particular, the Fuzzy Giant seemed quite excited the other day when I mentioned that soon it would be warm enough to get out my little red car with the yellow roof and use it on the driveway. I don't understand what the fuss was about, of course I would winterize my vehicle and want to take it out as soon as the weather was amicable. That car is a classic and I've had it most of my life. Very low km.

One of the benefits of the new arrival is that both Giants have taken time from work in order to serve me better during this trying time. This is still not my customary ratio of 2:1, but alas these are difficult times and we all must make sacrifices.

One of my biggest complaints is that I often catch the new guy sleeping at his post. In order to bring this issue up with HR, I've begun to gather evidence in a dossier. Here is a sample image.

And with that thought, I must bid you adieu as the hour is getting late.
Yours always,
Alice
