What a strange day! Some of our routine has changed – wonder if that is permanent or just for today? We all three walked half way round the circle and bank. Mamaw told Poppy that I am all consuming. She is frustrated so he told her to go do some shopping or looking or something just to get away. She came back in a great mood.

She insisted we go for another walk. And this time, she didn’t stop at the half-way point—she made sure I went all the way around. I have a tendency to like to get up in the yards and smell around. Today when I did that I was scared to death! There by a tree was a head and two hands sticking up out of the ground. I cried, jumped back and started running as fast as I could go. I guess I don’t like that place so much any more.

Back from the walk and Mamaw half filled the kitchen sink and put my hind legs in the water. She took some really nice smelly stuff and washed my back portion. I didn’t mind it too much although I certainly didn’t understand it at all. Then she wrapped me in a towel and started rubbing me dry. She just spread kisses on me everywhere.

We had to get in the car and Poppy took me to the vet. Jessica says I weigh 9 lbs. I met a dog there—way bigger than me. He was black and white and I don’t know if he was a mutt or a pedigree. It doesn’t matter, I liked him. I got to smell him and he me. I didn’t get to interact with him as long as I wanted because it was my time to get my shots. Jessica says all is well. She needs to see me in 4 weeks for my rabies shot.

I’m home – I’m beat. Just leave me alone and let me nap! Up and at it again, my God—another walk! She is driving me crazy today with the walks. She think that I will be too tired to be naughty but forget it—it isn’t going to work. So…bed early tonight.
