Game On

Dear Alpha Mommy,
Mia keeps playing with my ball!
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
It’s not just your ball, it’s for all three of you. Though Puffin isn’t much of a ball player.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
But when I try to play with her she runs away.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
She wants you to chase her.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
I love chasing her around the house! But sometimes she whacks me on the nose.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
That’s probably when she doesn’t want to play chase.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
I don’t know how to tell the difference!!!! Cats are so difficult. Dogs are much easier.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I agree. Dogs are generally more transparent.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
And we’re more important.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I’m not sure about that, sweetie.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
We are. I overheard someone on the radio say that this is the Year of the Dog.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
You are right about that. It’s a Chinese calendar thing. Isn’t it nice to get that kind of recognition?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
We deserve it. Even our poop is important.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I’m not so sure about that.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
You do think it’s important! You collect it! So do all other dog walkers! You all carefully pick up our poops and carry them around in nice little bags.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I stand corrected. Your poop is certainly worth saving.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
Thank you. Now I’m going to go drop this ball in front of Mia.
XOXO Poppy
