Time

Dear Poppy,
I’m so impressed with your sense of time!
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
My what????? What am I doing?
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
You are right on time when you remind me to give you your anxiety meds. Every day at 5:00!
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
My what? My meds? I thought I was getting a treat every day at 5:00!
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Of course it’s a treat. A Prozac pill wrapped in a delicious tidbit.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
Mia gets a treat every day too.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
True. Mia gets a pill for her heart, wrapped in a treat. And then you all get fed. You are also good at knowing when it is time for the afternoon walk.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
I am?
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Though it might also be that you notice when I put on my jacket and pick up the leash. Dead giveaways. Still, I’m impressed with your sense of time. You also know when it is time to go out one last time before bed.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
Molly taught me all about clocks before she died.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I should have known. Of course she did. She had all that covered.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
She also told me that when you are away time passes faster if we spend it on your bed.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Even though you’re not supposed to be there without an invitation?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
She said the rule is lifted when you are away.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
It figures. Well, I’ll just keep pretending I don’t notice the warm spot on the bed when I get home.
Love, Carolyn
