Celebrity

Dear Alpha Mom,

Mia says that I’m a celebrity.

Your Best Dog,

Molly

 

Dearest Molly,

That’s lovely, Sweetie. And what is she basing this on?

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mom,

She says I won Cutest Dog.

Your Best Dog,

Molly

 

Dearest Molly,

That’s right, you did!

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mom,

I don’t remember this.

Your Best Dog,

Molly

 

Dearest Molly,

It was years ago, at a Humane Society fundraiser. You were voted Cutest Dog.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mom,

Well. That’s an achievement. Too bad I can’t remember it.

Your Best Dog,

Molly

 

Dearest Molly,

You were adorable. It came down to you and another dog. The audience had to clap for their favorite, and the numbers were even. So the lady with the microphone asked if either of you had a special cute trick. To tip the balance.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mom,

And I did something cute?

Your Best Dog,

Molly

 

Dearest Molly,

You did! You danced. Remember how you used to pirouette on command?

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mom,

I do remember!

Your Best Dog,

Molly

 

Dearest Molly,

Well you did it! You stood on your hind legs and spun around, and your pirouette made the audience go wild. They all voted for you. It was a wonderful moment. Too bad you can’t do that any more. With your bad knee your dancing days are over.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mom,

What did the other dog do?

Your Best Dog,

Molly

 

Dearest Molly,

Who knows. Who cares? He didn’t win!

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mom,

And he’s been forgotten. Meanwhile I don’t even remember winning.

Your Best Dog,

Molly

 

Dearest Molly,

That’s sad.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mom,

That’s life.

Your Best Dog,

Molly
