Dear Poppy,
No sweetie. It’s a four-hour drive.

Dear Mom,
I want to go anyway.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I know, you love it there. You are a real High Sierra dog.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
I’m a WILD DOG!!!!!!
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
You did get pretty wild this last time. You are the only dog I’ve ever seen actually doing zoomies over the granite boulders.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
I’m a WILD WOLF!!!!!!!
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Well, wolf-ish. You are wolf-ish sweetie. A very sweet wolfish dog. But I have to say, I’m glad to see so many exclamation points.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
So, we can’t go up on the Ridge now?
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
In a couple of weeks we will be going up again.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
I love the cabin!!!!!
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
It’s a lovely, rustic old place, isn’t it?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
It’s not a real house!
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
That’s so true. No electricity and a privy out back. It takes us back to older times. I’m glad we’ll be back there soon.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
And I’ll get to run wild on the ridge in back! And chase ground squirrels and chipmunks and lizards!!!!! And find the bear poop again!!!!!!! And bark at people walking by with their dogs!!!! I’ll get to be Wild!!!!!
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Okay. We might want to dial that back just a bit.
Love, Carolyn
