I woke up as The She Devil this morning and there has been no turning back. By 8:00 a.m. she had the Bark Buster collar on me and off we went! She wasn’t messing around with me either, I have to poop as we walked because she wouldn’t look back and wouldn’t stop. Finally she saw what was happening and stopped but by God—come hell or high water I was going with no stutter stops. She did stop long enough for me to just see Pepper but she told Steve I was out of hand so we had to keep going. I was so tired when we got back but I was mad at her. I went in the bathroom and started chewing on her purple rug—she exiled me from there. I went in the bedroom and began chewing on the sheets—she exiled me from there. So, here we are, at 11:00 a.m. watching the Hawks play Northwestern and both of the doors to my “problem” area are closed! I might as well rest while I can. I know she’ll be “dragging” me around again after the game.

Iowa lost—she’s mad! Out the door we go for walk number two! Trust me, it isn’t any more pleasant. No stops along the way. But then we saw two cute little boys (around 10-11) and she did stop and let me see them. They remarked about how soft my fur is. Well, I gotta admit it Mamaw does a good job with the brush each day.

Notre Dame is gonna get beat too if they don’t straighten up. Right now the score is Navy 14—Notre Dame 0. There may be hell to pay tonight. Go Notre Dame, for God’s sake GO.

They went out tonight – I think to play pool in John and Judy’s new finished basement. I was alone for 4 hours and didn’t make a mess in the kennel so I am learning to control my potty needs. It was well after 10:00 p.m. when we went to bed.
