Dear Poppy,

So, aren’t you a pretty girl!

Love, Carolyn

Dear Alpha Mommy,

Mia tells me that this dog picture I’m looking at is really me.

XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,

You don’t think it is?

Love, Carolyn

Dear Alpha Mommy,

No, I think Mia is pulling my leg. That cat likes to be funny.

XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,

She does have a whimsical sense of humor. But I don’t think she is pulling your leg this time.

Love, Carolyn

Dear Alpha Mommy,

This is not me.

XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,

You don’t think you are this pretty girl?

Love, Carolyn

Dear Alpha Mommy,

It is not me!!!!!! It has no smell!!!!!

XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,

I’d forgotten how literal dogs are. Okay sweetie, it’s not actually you, it’s your reflection in the mirror.

Love, Carolyn

Dear Alpha Mommy,

A mirror? Who cares what’s in a mirror?

XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,

People like to look at themselves. I guess dogs just don’t have the same kind of self absorption.

Love, Carolyn

Dear Alpha Mommy,

No need for that. We can smell ourselves.

XOXO Poppy
