Cher Madame,
Ça va? Is Madame okay?
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Thank you for asking, sweetie. I’m fine, I didn’t mean to alarm you.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
The grimace, the huff and puff, the gasping, this petit cat was concerned about Madame.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Okay, okay, I’m not that bad. You make it sound like I’m a physical wreck.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
What is this thing that Madame is doing?
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
This is an exercise called Planking. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
It looks like torture.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
It feels a bit like torture. But it will make me stronger. My ballet teacher challenged the class to do a plank every day. For 100 days. Hopefully it will get easier with time.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Voilà. C’est torture.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Possibly. The worst thing about it is Poppy licking me in the face. She loves it when I’m within reach.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
That cur maudit, she takes advantage of Madame.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Let’s try to avoid the name-calling. She is not cursed. She is a sweet dog. I just don’t like having my face licked. I know where that tongue has been.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
This petit cat does not understand the human obsession with exercise torture. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
You should consider a hundred-day challenge of your own. Maybe to haul yourself up on the windowsill every day to watch the birds at the feeder.   
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Toujours le sarcasm.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
