Dear Mom,
Puffin is driving everyone crazy.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
He’s unhappy, sweetie. We just have to put up with it for a while.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
He keeps ambushing me. He’s a jerk.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
He is. But he’s our jerk. And he’s going through a rough time. Besides, you chase him too. So it sort of evens out.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Mia is fed up too. He keeps bullying her out of her comfy spots. He is very intimidating when he looms over her. Giving her The Look.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
I know. Poor Mia. She doesn’t like confrontation so she usually just clears out. But I feel badly for him, too. He’s hungry. It’s made him cranky. Being on a strict diet is difficult for him.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Difficult for HIM! He’s nothing but a big baby. He’s ruining life for all of us.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
He is indeed a pain in the backside. He’s feeling very sorry for himself. But the diet is very important. He’s reached an unhealthy weight.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
He has disrupted everything. Mia doesn’t like it that she has to eat in the bathroom.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
She has to eat in there with the door closed so he won’t steal her food. I told her it’s her private dining room.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
I hope he gets stuck in the cat door to the litterboxes.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
No you don’t, sweetie. If he gets stuck in the cat door he’ll never go in there again, and you know what he’ll do next.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Pee in my bed?
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
Exactly. 
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Oh. 
XOXO Poppy

Dear Mom,
So, he’s on a diet because you’re worried that he’s getting so fat that soon he won’t fit through the cat door to the litterboxes.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
I’m afraid you’ve hit the nail on the head.
Love, Carolyn
