Be Mine

Dear Alpha Mommy,

Mia says this box is full of treats!

XOXO Poppy

 

Dear Poppy,

It is, honey, but I’m sorry, it’s not for you.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mommy,

It’s for Mia?

XOXO

Poppy

 

Dear Poppy,

No, not for either of you. It’s chocolate, and that would make you both very sick. It’s for Alpha Dad.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mommy,

You are giving him something to make him sick??????????

XOXO Poppy

 

Dear Poppy,

Of course not. It doesn’t make humans sick. For us it’s a special treat.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mommy,

I didn’t know you gave Alpha Dad special treats!!

XOXO Poppy

 

Dear Poppy,

Of course I do. Especially at Valentines. That’s a time to show people that they are special.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mommy,

What are you going to give Mia? Temptations?

XOXO Poppy

 

Dear Poppy,

Good call! And I’ll have to think of something for Puffin.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mommy,

Small birds.

XOXO Poppy

 

Dear Poppy,

No honey. I’ll give him extra kibble. That’s what he wants more than anything in the world.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mommy,

What are you going to give the chickens?

XOXO Poppy

 

Dear Poppy,

That’s easy. Crickets. And if I can’t find crickets I’ll give them freeze-dried mealworms. The poultry pinnacle of gourmet dining.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mommy,

But what about me?

XOXO Poppy

 

Dearest Poppy,

You are such a good dog that I’ll give you a hug, and a spoon full of peanut butter!

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mommy,

Another pinnacle!

XOXO Poppy
