Workout
by carolynholm
Dear Mom,
I’m so glad we’ve been going for walks again!
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I am too. Thank goodness the smoke from the wildfires has cleared up. Mostly, anyway.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
The smoke had a terrible smell.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
It did. And the ash got all over everything. It was all very bad for our health. So, I had to let you out to the garden briefly to do your business instead of going for a nice walk every day.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
I missed the walks.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
So did I. I missed getting outside. I missed walking around our neighborhood. And I really missed the exercise.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
Is that why you started going up and down the stairs, over and over, each day?
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
It was indeed. That can be a good workout, especially when you take it at a brisk pace.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
Puffin said you had lost your marbles. But Winston and I didn’t care. We loved running up and down the stairs with you!!!!!!
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
It was a thrilling group event for the three of us, wasn’t it? But I’m glad to be going outside to walk again. Let’s hope the rainy season starts soon, to put an end to this season’s wildfires.
Love, Carolyn

Ah the stair tread mill exercise. It’s works though.
Well my dogs don’t participate – they think I’m nuts. Good part of the bad air episode ( if there is one – so much horrific, exhausting firefighting work , loss of homes and memories, old redwoods) is that I’m training my cat to finally be a house cat. Her morning complaints are getting shorter and shorter.
Oh boy Poppy ! You and Winston got to play “Thundering Herd of Elephants” with Mama on the stairs ! Maybe Puffin will join in the fun soon!
