The Dog Whisperer
by carolynholm
Dear Mia,
What are you two doing with that phone?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I’ve been texting the dogs.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
You’ve also been whispering in their ears. What is going on here?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I am the Dog Whisperer.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
What does that even mean?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I want to reach into their souls.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
How do the dogs feel about this?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
They have no idea what I’m doing. They are oblivious. They’re just dogs, after all. Innocent souls, ready to do my bidding.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Poppy may be an innocent soul, but Molly is the smartest dog I’ve ever known. I don’t think you’ll get Molly to do your bidding.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
True, Molly is not as suggestible. But she’s become quite senile, so I thought she might be worth a shot.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Just what are you trying to do with them?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I’ve been whispering to them that they need to give me their treats.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
That’s probably not going to happen.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
And that I want them to open the door to let me outside.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Highly unlikely. But I admire your ingenuity.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
And I want them to give me the feather toy that you keep out of reach.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Another thing that is not going to happen. They can’t reach it either. I don’t think this whispering program is working.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I’ve got their attention, though. That’s a start.
Love, Mia
