The Refill

Dear Alpha Mom,

Please, my food bowl needs kibble.

Your Best Dog,

Molly

 

Dearest Molly,

It has food in it.  Just take a look.

Love,

Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mom,

I did.  It really needs kibble.  Please.

Your Best Dog,

Molly

 

Dearest Molly,

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t.

Love,

Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mom,

It does.  I can see the bottom of the bowl.

Your Best Dog,

Molly

 

Dearest Molly,

We’ve been through this before.  Just because you can see some of the bottom of the bowl doesn’t mean the bowl is empty.  You still have kibble there.  It’s too soon to add more.

Love,

Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mom,

I don’t think you understand.  Please.

Your Best Dog,

Molly

 

Dearest Molly,

I do.  Please stop tapping your bowl and ringing your bell.

Love,

Carolyn

 

Dear Alpha Mom,

I’m sure you don’t understand.  Please.

Your Best Dog,

Molly

 

Dearest Molly,

You are exhausting.  You win.  I have just filled it to the brim.

Love,

Carolyn
