I don’t know why, but I am waking up a little earlier these days. In the past it was 8ish and now it seems to be 7:15-7:30 a.m. I guess that’s okay—Mamaw gets up with me. Well, she really HAS TO, because if Poppy lets her stay in bed he takes me out and I make a beeline for the bedroom as soon as I am finished. Sometimes I rush back without going poop and need to go out really soon again. So it just works better (for me any way).  Poppy still prepares my food and water while she has me outside.

It is another dreary day. I don’t mind going out to potty as much as I did yesterday but then it isn’t pouring down rain. Just a drizzle…but never ending. Poppy is working. Mamaw is busy, busy, busy. She ran the sweeper (I still have to go inside the kennel—I’m just not comfortable with it), swept out the garage (I got to play with the leaves out there) and went grocery shopping. She also brought an arm load of dry cleaning home with her. I can’t imagine the need to go to the grocery store so often for 2 people!

She’s been click, click, clicking away at the computer today too. I see she has two envelopes dated and ready to mail out on Monday. She works so hard keeping records straight. I like it when she is on the computer though. I go in and lay down (sometimes too close to her chair) and I take little naps while she does her work.

Mamaw brushes me every day. She says my coat is smooth and silky and soft. She calls me beautiful a lot of the time, but I know my name is Scarlett. And when I am good, she lets me lay on the couch and nap while she reads. I really like that!
