There was all kinds of excitement at our house this morning at 6:30 a.m.! Poppy took me outside to go potty and when he brought me back in the house, he had some other dogs “poop” on his shoes and tracked in the house! Oh my God, will Mamaw be mad at him? Well, he couldn’t manage all of this mess on his own, so he woke her up!! Is she going to be mad at us? She jumped out of bed and away we all went to do the cleanup. I wanted to get a ring side view of THIS operation, but Mamaw made me go back in my kennel so I wouldn’t be under foot. They worked together and by golly, they did a good job! After all, Mother Knows Best!


Mamaw observed that I have to “piddle” 3 or 4 times each time I am outside. She called the veterinary clinic and made an appointment for me at 4:00 p.m. Jessica said I have a little infection and that is probably what is causing the itching and bottom scooting. Mamaw has another task each time she takes me out. She has to use 1 part peroxide/1 part water and clean my behind really good.

He friend Sue came over today and I met her. Mamaw took me outside and showed how smart I am about going potty—Sue said from what she has seen, she is impressed. I am worming my way into their hearts big time! I think it might be safe for me to say I’m making myself indispensable.

Poppy must have been worried about me. He called Mamaw and asked what the vet said. Isn’t it nice to have somebody REALLY CARE? I was pretty pooped so we all went to bed again.
