Doomed
by carolynholm
Dear Alpha Mom,
It’s time for our walk.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
I know, give me a minute, I just need to finish this.
Love,
Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
You said that an hour ago.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
I promise, ten minutes, not a minute more.
Love,
Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
We’ll see. Where are we going today? I don’t want to walk past the house with the rude pugs. They make me nervous with all their commotion.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
We’ll go to the park.
Love,
Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom
But let’s not go past the playground.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
We can skip that part. Is this because of the kids?
Love,
Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
I don’t like children.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
I know. That’s ok, we don’t have children in our household.
Love,
Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
They are loud and unpredictable.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
They certainly can be. You are elderly so it’s hard for you to deal with all that bouncing energy.
Love,
Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
And they reach for my face.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
That can be off-putting.
Love,
Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
Someday they will take over the world.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
That’s true, Sweetie. How very astute of you.
Love,
Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
We’re doomed.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
Well, they’ll have grown up by then.
Love,
Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
They do that?
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
Yes. Like puppies.
Love,
Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
I don’t like puppies either.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
