Fall Accessories
by carolynholm
Dear Alpha Mom,
It feels like fall.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
It does indeed. In fact it looks like fall as well. I see you’re decked out in your autumn finery.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
Decked out? Autumn finery? I really don’t like it when I don’t understand what you mean.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly
I meant you’ve got redwood litter stuck all over you. Some people have autumn leaves, we have redwood litter.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
You mean the stuff falling from the redwood trees.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
Yes, it happens every year at this time. It’s a mess, and the stuff sticks to you every time you go out in the garden. So I said you were decked out in your autumn finery.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
You know I have trouble understanding your humor.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
Yes, I know, I think you’re somewhere on the spectrum.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
Is there something I’m supposed to be doing with the redwood litter that is hanging off of me?
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
Well, you could pull them off. You sure won’t let me pull them off for you.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
Of course not.. You have no business yanking things off of me. It’s not right. It’s too intimate
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
I don’t know why you make such a big deal about that. Other dogs don’t behave that way. Poppy lets me remove the stuff from her coat. You act like I’m going after you with a knife.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
It’s all about boundaries.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
I don’t usually think of boundaries as a dog thing, honey.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
Maybe you need to think of boundaries as a Molly thing.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
