We all slept in until a little after 8:00 today. We got our first walk in at 9:00 and Poppy went with us. He says I am doing much better! Mamaw says she can’t wait for me to quit pulling so it doesn’t hurt her left rotor cuff. She found out last night that she can play pool again without pain and she is so happy! I find the walks becoming a little more relaxed too. That’s good for both of us.

One of the things I treasure most is our “love feasts” Mamaw calls them. She picks me up and lays me on my back. I look at her lovingly and she looks back at me lovingly. Then she kisses me and rubs me under my chin and my tummy. When she tickles the right spots, my back legs react. It’s just great! How much better could it get for me?

Oh, and I got to see Ozzie from next door. He’s the older dog I told you about – a BIG DOG. Well, we really like each other a lot and have a great time when we get together. Poor Ozzie doesn’t quite know how to play with me because I am so excited I can’t sit still. Mamaw reins me in and tries to make me settle but I like Ozzie so much it is hard for me to relax…

Poppy got home from work—tired. Mamaw and I took another walk around the circle so he could rest. That’s the third one today! And, not one time did she stop for me to poop—I had to do it on the run ALL THREE TIMES! That’s good enough for her. I hope she was embarrassed to have to stoop down and scoop the poop.

Tonight while we were all watching TV, Poppy asked Mamaw how much she loved me. She said, “All the way to the moon and back.” Then she asked Poppy the same question and he said, “I don’t know how to measure it, but she’s wonderful.” WOW…
