InterSpecies Memos has been running weekly for two years now! To celebrate this anniversary, Mia wants to share one of her favorite posts from the past, back when Molly was still with us and Poppy had not yet arrived:

Memo to: Molly, Puffin and Mia

From: Carolyn

Ok which of you clowns knocked over the lamp?

Cher Madame,

The lamp she came to life and flew off le table. I was horrified and left the room avec toute vitesse. J’espère you will find le perpetrator.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

Dear Alpha Mom,

The cats were racing around the room again. I knew something bad would happen.

Your Best Dog,

Molly

Dear Mommy,

I’m not sure which lamp you are referring to.

Love, Mia

To: Mia

The lamp I’m pretty sure you knocked off the table.

Carolyn

Dear Mommy,

Oh that lamp. I am not yet finished with it. It is part of an art installation.

Love, Mia

Dear Mia,

What kind of art installation are you doing with a lamp?

Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,

I am working with light. I am thinking I’ll set it up in the corner of a dark room, and people will come in and gasp with wonder. I am heavily influenced by James Turrell.

Love, Mia

Dear Mia,

Have you been getting into my art books again?

Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,

Possibly. Will I get in trouble for that?

Love, Mia

Dear Mia,

Possibly. I think we should encourage you to go back to dancing.

Love, Carolyn
