First thing this morning, I ATE! Yes, I was really hungry so we’ve done the outside thing. Mamaw held me as part of our daily routine and loved me—I loved her—we call it THE LOVE FEST. It is so great to feel the love. I hate it when she starts with the BAAAAA though, it hurts my feelings and I always try to get the last word in. She doesn't like it when I talk back.

I showed her this morning how I can jump up on the couch all by myself! She told Poppy nothing will be safe from me from now on…

It was afternoon before we took a walk today. The weather has cooled down so we waited to see if it would warm up any. It is the wind that is bad—my ears just flop around as we scurry along. I was in a bigger hurry myself today because there was more chill in the air. When we got back, I got some veggies: a carrot, broccoli and cauliflower.

Mamaw’s new down-filled Scarlett dog-walking-coat arrived in the mail today. I thought we were only going to walk the one time until that lavender coat came and then I knew we had to try it out. This walk I got to meet a little Hispanic girl and her Daddy. She was so sweet! As we were walking by she is saying, “I love the puppy, I love the puppy.” Well, you gotta know Mamaw to understand her logic—she wasn’t about to pass that little girl by without a hello from Scarlett. She picked me up and told me to be nice and the little girl just squealed with delight. And I even found my barking voice again and barked TWO TIMES! I am definitely growing up.

Oh, and my Buster cube is getting easier for me to roll around and get the goodies. I haven’t been brave enough yet to work it out of a tight spot but I bet I’m going to do it soon.
