Dear Alpha Mommy,

I hate it when my feet pick up stickers!

XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,

It’s that time of year, isn’t it? When the weeds start producing stickers.

Love, Carolyn

Dear Alpha Mommy,

They go straight to my feet when we go for our walks!

XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,

That’s because your feet are like four fluffy slippers. They sweep those stickers right up.

Love, Carolyn

Dear Alpha Mommy,

But then I have to sit down and pull them out with my teeth.

XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,

I think it’s wonderful that you sort out your own foot problems. It is awkward sometimes, though. When you stop us right in the middle of a street crossing.

Love, Carolyn

Dear Alpha Mommy,

But I have to remove the stickers!

XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,

I understand. But the street crossing is sort of an inappropriate place to do that. Inevitably cars pull up and have to wait while you suck on your feet.

Love, Carolyn

Dear Alpha Mommy,

If you had stickers in your feet I’m sure you would sit right down in the middle of the street and chew them out, cars or no cars.

XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,

Now I’m going to have that image in my head for the rest of the day.

Love, Carolyn
