Cher Madame,

That Poppy, she gets treats. Such enormous treats. Toujours. All the time. Ouf.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

You get treats too!

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Mais pas toujours. Not all the time like that mutt.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

Okay, she does get more of them. To reward her for good behavior.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Moi, I have the good behavior.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

You are a good cat. Well, mostly. But you wouldn’t like her treats anyway. They are pumpkin treats.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Puffin,

I am assuming that the disgusting ACK sound you just made means you do not like the idea of pumpkin treats.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

This mutt, she will eat anything. Ouf. Dogs.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

It’s all a matter of taste. I’m glad she likes them. I’m trying to help her develop better manners. Like not barking at people who walk past the house.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

This petit cat does not bark at the walkers. Mais Madame does not give me un petit treat for that.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

Of course you don’t bark, honey. You’re a cat. It’s a different set of circumstances. I also reward her when she comes to me and sits nicely in front of me when I call her.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Ouf. A cat would never do such a thing.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

Some might. But I wouldn’t expect that from most cats. I expect different things from dogs. So I am  encouraging her to walk nicely with me even when we pass the rude pug’s house. She gets a treat if she refrains from going berserk in response to his insane challenge.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

He is that rude?

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

He is indeed. And she gets crazy in response.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Moi, I don’t do any of those bad behaviors. And yet still I do not receive the special treats from Madame.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

Dogs have a good union.

Love, Carolyn
