What a day it has been! I can’t believe how quickly things change around here. Mamaw was up first today and took me outside to potty and she also fixed my food. Go figure—all I know is before long I was put in my kennel and they left for a little while. I think I heard something about getting his car in at Charles Gabus Ford for a little body work.

We just sort of laid around today doing as we wished. At some point Mamaw went to the bedroom and took a little nap. Poppy reclines on the couch and from time to time we could hear him snoring away.

Two walks today. Mamaw told Poppy she will sure be glad when I just walk beside her and don’t pull on the leash. She says that hurts her right hip. I’m trying to do better but for God’s sake, there is so much to distract me out there. The few leaves blowing still drive me crazy and I want to catch them and my nose keeps me on track when I pick up a scent. I am doing better though, I know I am….

The phone rang and then I was again put in my kennel and off they went again. I guess that must mean they went back to pick up the car. I have to keep my ears open all of the time or I miss what is going on. I don’t like that! I’m part of the pack and I need to know who is in charge and how it’s going to be taken care of so I don’t have to worry about things.

Mamaw has been very loving today. I think she thinks I am the cat’s meow—would that be an oxymoron? I love her too—so very much. I’ll be on the couch with Poppy for a while but then I want to be as close to Mamaw as possible.
