Thankful

by carolynholm

Dear Mommy,

I’m thinking about all the things I’m thankful for.

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

Getting a jump on Thanksgiving!

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

I am! I’m thankful that Puffin doesn’t like my cat tree.

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

I don’t think having your cat tree all to yourself is really the spirit of Thanksgiving.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

Then how about this: I’m thankful that Poppy is afraid of Puffin.

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

Why is that good?

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

It’s entertaining to watch the two of them maneuvering around each other.

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

Again, not really what Thanksgiving is all about.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

I’m thankful that Dad loves to give me treats.

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

That’s a little better. How about being thankful that you were saved by a rescue group?

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

But I don’t remember that at all.

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

You were an infant. Someone abandoned the whole litter, and you were raised by a foster mother who bottle-fed you and your sister and brother. You would have died if she hadn’t raised you!

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

That’s horrifying. I’d forgotten all about that.

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

Puffin and Poppy were also rescues. All three of you have something big to be thankful for!

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

Puffin was rescued? He says he’s from France!

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

We all know that’s a delusion. He was found on the streets of South Central Los Angeles. And Poppy was found running around the streets of a little rural town called Lodi. She was terrified. I’m so glad both of them were found. I’m thankful all three of you were rescued!

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

Honestly I’m not all that thankful for Puffin and Poppy, but I am definitely thankful that I was rescued. And I don’t care what you say, I’m still thankful about the cat tree.

Love, Mia
