It was such a hectic morning here…we all thought it was Sunday so nobody got in a hurry to get anything done. At 9:40 the phone rang and the boss wanted to know if Poppy was coming to work! Boy, we got things around in a hurry and sent him on his way. Mamaw got the vacuum out and was doing the floors when John Swanson, Poppy’s nephew called to see if he could come over and look at that weak spot in our floor. Wow! We rushed around and put the vacuum away and I got kenneled so they could look things over without me being underfoot.

Finally we do the circle walk. It was chilly so I kinda pulled Mamaw around today. She kept trying to slow me down but I was in a hurry to get back home where it is warm.

She keeps wanting to have these “love fests” which I don’t understand. She said in a few days I would know why she is doing all of that. I think she plans to go someplace for a few days and leave me behind but I’m not sure about that yet.

Oh, oh – the black suitcase came up from the basement! Mamaw put it on their bed. She began packing clothes in it. I think I know what is up now. I just kept grabbing stuff as she tried to fold things and Mamaw got pretty disgusted with me. She firmly said, “out, out, out—EXILE.” That’s what she says now when I chew on things in their bedroom or Mamaw’s bathroom. Then she firmly shuts the door. Well, at any rate, the suitcase is half full and she moved it into the office and put it on the floor. I stuck my nose in and was going to open it but she just casually walked over and pulled the zippers shut. I guess that is that.

Aw—we are washing a load of clothes. I suppose she needs clean underwear and her pink nightgown in the suitcase too. She hangs her panties and bras over the side of the bathtub to air dry overnight.
