The Most Important Thing

by carolynholm

Bath

Dear Alpha Mom,

Poppy and I would prefer it if you no longer bathed us.

Your Best Dog,

Molly

 

Dearest Molly,

I’m sorry, I know you hate baths. But it’s something that humans consider very important. If you live with us you have to bathe.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mom,

Your people are strangely obsessed with removing smells. Smells are the Most Important Thing.

Your Best Dog,

Molly

 

Dearest Molly,

I thought the Most Important Thing was breakfast.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mom,

Now I’m confused. That’s important too.

Your Best Dog,

Molly

 

Dearest Molly,

I’m playing with your head. Sorry. Of course smells are as important as breakfast.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mom,

Wait, I thought Family was the Most Important Thing.

Your Best Dog,

Molly

 

Dearest Molly,

You’re right!

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mom,

They can’t all be the Most Important Thing. This is very confusing. I think I need to take a nap.

Your Best Dog,

Molly

 

Dearest Molly,

Right after your bath.

Love, Carolyn
