Walk on the Wild Side
by carolynholm
Dear Alpha Mommy,
Today’s walk was so eventful!!!
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I would prefer a walk that doesn’t end up with you barfing in my car.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
I can’t help it. It just comes up.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
It’s because you eat grass as we walk. I try to catch you, but you sneak bites. I’d like that to stop, please.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
Still, I wasn’t thinking about the grass and the barfing. Those happen all the time. Today’s walk was unusually exciting. Especially that bird that hovered over us in the park!!!!!
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
We did have an eventful walk today, didn’t we! That was a drone. You were right to bark at it when it hovered over us.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
And we saw four big fat hens in someone’s front yard.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy
I appreciate that you know how to behave around chickens.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
But then the rest of the walk was very stressful.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Are you referring to Toby the cat?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
Toby looks horrifying. His nose must hurt! What is wrong with him?
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Toby is very sick. He has nose cancer. I know, it makes him look scary. It’s kind of you to feel empathy for him.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
We also saw Mark the Dog Walker, and Sherman was nasty to me. Why doesn’t he like me?
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Don’t worry about Sherman. He’s not a very nice Corgi. Mark says he lunges at all dogs. It’s not just you, honey.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
I thought all Corgis are sweet. Like your daughter’s dog Mika. She’s my best pal!
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
It’s probably not a good idea to make generalizations. Mika is a sweet Corgi and Sherman isn’t. That’s how it is.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
We were also assaulted by the vicious Rude Pug.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I wouldn’t call that an assault. But he certainly has an aggressive attitude. His owner was very apologetic.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
Come to think of it, I think maybe I prefer a less eventful walk.
XOXOXO
Poppy
