Five o’Clock!

by carolynholm

Dear Mia,

I wish you would all calm down in the afternoons. Yesterday you were all over me when I walked in the door. And it wasn’t even five o’clock.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

It was close! We knew it was close!!!!

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

I could see that. You and Puffin were right at the door when Poppy and I returned from our walk, and you practically assaulted me. And then you got Poppy all worked up.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

We knew it was time!!!!!!!

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

Okay, it was almost time. I knew what time it was.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

Yes!!!! TREATS TIME! We were all so excited!!!!!

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

Well, those aren’t really treats. They are meds. You get your heart meds in a pill pocket. Every afternoon.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

And Poppy gets her meds too!

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

Yes, she gets her Prozac in a pill pocket.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

And that’s not all!!!!!!!

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

Right. Then after the meds, you and Puffin each get a little bit of hairball remedy.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

And it’s SO DELICIOUS!!!!!

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

I’m so glad you all find this all so exciting.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

Because it’s IMPORTANT!!!!! Because the next thing after the treats is DINNER!!!!!

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

It’s like a party in here when it’s time for meds and dinner. That’s some pretty intense lobbying.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

But we HAVE to remind you! Otherwise you’ll probably be late. You’re late half the time.

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

But how do you even know what time it is?

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

We look at the clock! I’m surprised you don’t know about clocks. That explains a lot.

Love, Mia
