A Very Bad Day

by carolynholm

Dear Poppy,
I’m sorry. I really am. But you’ll need to keep that thing on for a while.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Poppy,
I know you are unhappy, baby. Can you try to walk now? 
Love, Carolyn

Dear Poppy,
Maybe start with standing up. 
Love, Carolyn

Dear Poppy,
I know it’s hard, sweetie. Let’s give it another try. First stand up. There is nothing wrong with your legs. Then we’ll walk you over to your dinner. 
Love, Carolyn

Der Momf,
No.

Dear Poppy,
Once you get used to the cone, you’ll get around just fine. But we have to leave it on for a couple of weeks. The vet doesn’t want you to lick yourself while the abscess is healing. 
Love, Carolyn

Dear Poppy,
Okay. I got you on your feet! How’s that?
Love, Carolyn

Derrr Momf,

Dear Poppy,
Lets try walking! But lift your head. When your head droops you are more likely to bang into things. Okay?
Love, Carolyn

Der Mom, 
No.

Dear Poppy,
In a few days you’ll be so used to the cone you’ll forget you are wearing it!
Love, Carolyn

Dear Momf
Wrst day evr.
