For Furby

Dear Furby:
I have read your last two letters with interest. You must not be offended by the rabbit. He takes your intentions at face value--it would normally be very dangerous if he stayed to talk with you. On the surface, he cannot discern that you have liberal lapinarian beliefs. Most rabbits are very jumpy, anyway.

I am very sympathetic about your objection to being dressed in a cheerleader outfit. The youngest female here insists that we want to be dressed in "costumes" for Halloween. Little doll hats, or a piece of Kleenex with eyes cut out.... Why she thinks this is beyond us! Probably because she wants it to be so! I hope a similar idea is not forming in the minds of your younger two-leggers. If you see any evidence of it, I'd recommend hiding beneath the largest bed on October 30th, and staying there until November 1st. You could come out for meals in the wee hours.

In solidarity,
Geoffrey
