Thank God for Poppy! Mamaw IS STILL SICK! At this point, I am worried about her. This morning after Poppy took me outside to get the potty stuff taken care of, I ran back to the bedroom and tried to get up on the bed with Mamaw. I needed to see if she was okay or not. She wanted me to lay down and go to sleep with her but I was too worried and excited to do that so she asked Poppy to take me away. I thought maybe if I got really excited and acted cute she would snap out of it. Didn’t happen! She tries to smile and spend time playing with me but I can tell she is struggling. Poppy is home all day today so we’ve spent most of the day together. He’s a good ole guy but stern in his correction. He watches that “Dog Whisperer” character on TV and then tries it out on me. I turn my back on the TV when he comes on cause I don’t want to see it! The guy is an animal—the way he corrects dogs. But it is interesting at the end of the session when the animal is all better acting. I only like TV when a commercial comes on with the bright colors; then I sit glued to the screen until it is over.

There are tree trimmers across the street and they disturb me. The noise is so loud it is frightening to me. I’m still trying to cope with the noise of all the traffic and now this. I was outside with Mamaw and Poppy for a leash walk when they started trimming the trees and I just ran right up to the step—I sure wasn’t thinking of where a good place to poop would be! I hope when I have to go back out to poop they will be gone.
