The Pack
by carolynholm
Dear Alpha Mom,
I don’t want our Pack to change.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
You are referring to the New Dog? I can’t wait to bring her home! We’ll have her in a week, after the rescue group gets her spayed.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
Everything will change here. I don’t like change.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
I know you don’t, Honey. But it will be fine. We will all adjust to her. And I’m confident you’re going to like her a lot, because she’s very sweet. As for the cats, we know they will totally freak out for a while. Those two drama queens will spend weeks in hiding before they accept the New Dog as part of our Pack.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
Maybe we should just skip the New Dog and let everything stay nicely the way it is.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
I’ve already committed to the adoption, Honey. Don’t worry, we’ll get through this together.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
It’s going to be chaos, just like when we have visits from the part-time Pack members.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
Are you referring to Lena and her dog Mika?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
I realize Lena is your daughter, but she doesn’t live here any more. I don’t think she should be considered part of our Pack.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
Lena is practically your sister, and this is one of her homes. She will always be part of the Pack. Do you feel this way about Mika?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mom,
Mika is ok, she is a dog. But the cats call Mika “The Beast”. They are terrified of her. They say The Beast couldn’t possibly be part of our Pack. Just imagine how they’ll treat the New Dog.
Your Best Dog,
Molly
Dearest Molly,
The cats need to stop over-reacting to other dogs. Mika and Lena are both members of our Pack. The New Dog will be part of our Pack. We will all learn to get along. End of discussion.
Love, Carolyn
