The Instigator
by carolynholm
Dear Alpha Mommy,
I love it when Mika comes to our house!!!!!
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I know you do. She’s a lot of fun.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
Why doesn’t she stay forever?
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
She’s just here for a short visit. We are babysitting her for my daughter Lena.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
But Mika loves it here.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Yes, but if she lived here Lena would miss her!
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
I know, let’s have them both move in here with us!!! I love Lena too!
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
That would be wonderful, but Lena has her own life in Los Angeles.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
She must not love Mika if she leaves her.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
That’s a terrible thing to say! She had to travel where she couldn’t bring a dog. Besides, it’s just like when I travel and I leave you with Danielle.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
Oh. Right. Well, I’m glad Mika is here.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I am too. Although it would be nice if things were a little bit calmer.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
Mika is SO EXCITING!!!!!!!
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
She does get you worked up.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
The cats are really pissed off about her. Puffin won’t come out from under the bed.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I know. There’s a lot of drama. Mika really stirs things up.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
She calls herself The Instigator!
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I’ve noticed. She is indeed. There’s a whole lot of barking going on. And chasing the cats. And racing around the house. Knocking things over. And did I mention barking?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
You sound like you don’t want her here!
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Let’s say her visits are just the right length.
Love, Carolyn
