Carolyn's Critters

Dear Poppy,
Let’s go for our walk now!
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
It’s too hot for a walk!
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
You’re right, it’s really warm today. But we both need our walk.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Do we really?
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
You need your afternoon constitutional.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
My what?????
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
Your poop walk.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Oh, ok. 
XOXO Poppy 

Dear Poppy,
And you have one job – ONE JOB – and that job is to take me for a walk every day.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
You don’t poop on your walk.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
No, thank heavens it has never come to that. But I need the exercise!
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Can’t you go by yourself?
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
You need the exercise too! And you love the walks! You’ll remember that as soon as you see your leash.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
That’s my leash! We’re going for a walk!!!!!
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
See? Works every time. 
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Are we going to walk past the house with the barky little dog?
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
I think not, sweetie. Let’s skip him today, ok? I was thinking we could walk over to the Avenue. I’ve got a birthday card I want to drop at the post office. 
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
I love the Avenue! Ed at the antique store gives me treats!!!!!
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
He sure does. You are a shameless beggar. 
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
He says I’m a sweet little dog.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
You’ve got Ed wrapped around your little finger.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
And then the bookstore!!!!! We HAVE to go into the bookstore!!!!!!!
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
Yep, more dog treats there. See, getting your daily workout has its compensation.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Do we need more coffee beans? I love to stop at the coffee store!!!
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
Nope, we don’t need coffee beans today sweetie. So, sorry, no treats from the coffee store folks. You’ll just have to survive on the goodies from Ed and the book store crew.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
I don’t know why Jim the homeless guy doesn’t give me treats. He loves me!
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
He’s hoping that we will give him treats.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
You do! You always put something in his cup.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
Everyone needs treats.
Love, Carolyn
