When I woke up this morning, Mamaw put on her housecoat to take me outside. When she does that it means she wants to go back to bed. Poppy told her he would take care of me so off she went. About 45 minutes later, Poppy finds me at the bedroom door whining for Mamaw. He couldn’t resist—he let me in! I wasn’t about to let her sleep any longer—I wanted to start my day with her.

We went on a very nice walk and I LOVE running in all of the fall leaves. She really gets a kick out of that and laughs a lot. I try to indulge her cause I love to hear her laugh! After we’d gone about half-way around the circle, I let her know I was ready to come back. We took a lot of time getting to the house because I am enjoying the leaves. I told her there isn’t any shoelaces, newspapers, Kleenex or leaves that I don’t love. I guess she figured out what that means for her!

I also love the quiet times she sits and holds me and tells me how special I am to her. I do believe this has been a match made in heaven. I hate it when she isn’t near. I also enjoy the sun shining in our living room. I try to lay down so the sun warms my whole body and take a nap.

The weather was so lovely Mamaw and I went for another LONG walk. I love it when the cars stop and ask what kind of dog I am and they tell me how pretty or cute I am. I just suck that up like a sponge. Well, wouldn’t you?

Anyway, I love to run through the piles of leaves. And as they blow around, I like to chase them. My mouth isn’t big enough for more than one because if I have one and try for another, I drop the one in my mouth. I just know this weather isn’t going to always be like this so we go out to play just as much as we can.

Mamaw is sooo tired tonight she doesn’t want to cook. Wonder why? And she thought she was going to wear ME out! I guess her idea turned on her…
