Dear Winston,
I love it when you and Poppy promenade around the house together.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
We what??????
Winston

Dear Winston,
Promenade! You walk side-by-side together. In tight formation, shoulder to shoulder. I turn around and see you two following me like that, from room to room. 
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
Poppy is my pal.
Winston

Dear Winston
It’s sweet that you love her. I wish she reciprocated it better. On her part, she seems to mostly be just putting up with it.
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
She only wants to keep an eye on you. 
Winston

Dear Winston,
She does. I’m the center of her universe. It’s a lot of pressure being so important.
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
Still, I think she secretly likes my head bumps. 
Winston

Dear Winston,
She knows they mean love.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
And sometimes she wants to play with me!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
She does! Your zoomies set her off. She thinks it’s crazy fun to chase you out of the room.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
But when I cuddle up with her in her bed, she sits there for a minute, and then gets up and leaves the bed.
Winston

Dear Winston,
Don’t take it personally. I think she just prefers to sleep alone.
Love, Carolyn
