I finished my first bag of puppy food today. Mamaw went to open the new one and OH NO, it is for large breed puppies. She had to get herself around and go back to the store to exchange it. Isn’t that great! She cares for me. I stayed with Poppy and was really good for him.

We went for a walk this morning toward the elementary school to see the guard. I was just going to smell his feet when he reached out and touched me and he had a BIG VOICE! Scared the hell out of me – I wet on the sideway. I don’t want any part of that man! Mamaw picked me up to console me and tried to stand close to the guard so I could finish smelling him, but I whimpered and begged to get away from him. Mamaw feels so badly. And the man said he’s never had a dog that was spooked like that. Well for God’s sake—here he is in a vest with all kinds of colors on it. He is a large man with big hands. I think even a St. Bernard puppy would be afraid of him.

We worked on getting me to come in and out the front door. In and out of the garage. I’m doing a lot better. Mamaw says she can’t rush me and after all, Mother knows best!

They are going out tonight. Poppy is getting cleaned up and Mamaw just put more perfume on so I know where I’m going to be stuck—at least for a while.

Oh, they are home—thank God! I got to get out and play for a while. I was careful to play by myself so I wouldn’t get into trouble again. I think I could learn if they keep after me…
