Clothing

Dear Alpha Mommy,
When it’s cold people pile on extra clothes. I don’t know why. I just want this thing OFF.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Sorry. I was just playing with you. If you’ll stop thrashing around I’ll take it off.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
Dogs and cats wear the same thing all the time. In all weather. Hot or cold. Summer or winter.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
That’s not strictly true. Your coat gets thicker in the winter. And then you shed it like crazy in late spring.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
But we don’t need scarves and jackets and boots.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
No, though some dogs have raincoats. And I saw a dog on Facebook wearing boots. In fact, he was a Spitz like you! And that famous London cat, Streetcat Bob, wears scarves.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
Bob is a celebrity.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
He is indeed.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
If I wear this scarf will I be a celebrity?
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Probably not. But that’s a good thing.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
You’re right. Mia and Puffin would be jealous. Especially Mia.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
No kidding. Mia would give anything to be on Instagram.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
She should wear scarves. It worked for Streetcat Bob.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I’ll pass the word along to her.
Love, Carolyn
