Dear Poppy,
It can’t be that bad.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
I feel TERRIBLE
Poppy

Dear Poppy,
You’re being a Drama Queen.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Why did you take me there?
Poppy

Dear Poppy,
That was just your annual check-up.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
The vet people hurt me.
Poppy

Dear Poppy,
No they didn’t. It was just a flu shot, sweetie. You might be a little sore where you got the shot, and you might be feeling tired, but seriously, you are acting like you are on your death bed.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
There’s a Death Bed?????? 
Poppy

Dear Poppy,
It’s just an expression. You’ll be fine.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Which of our beds is the death bed? 
Poppy

Dear Poppy,
There is no death bed. I’m really sorry I said that. Seriously, no death bed.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Is it Mia’s bed? She had seizures in her bed, and went to the vet and came back in a box and you buried her under the rose bush. It’s her bed, isn’t it? 
Poppy

Dear Poppy,
Sweetie, you need to forget about what I said about a bed. You’re going to be fine! And just think, now you’re protected from canine influenza! So, let’s go for a walk. That will help you feel better.
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
Ugh. I just want to lie here.
Poppy

Dear Poppy,
You’re being way too dramatic.
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
I can’t stand up.
Poppy

Dear Poppy,
Yes you can. Oh, look at this! I’ve got extra treats in my pocket.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Yay!!! I’m ready for our walk now!!!!!!!!
XOXO Poppy
