Mamaw and I are both just pooped out today! I guess two walks and her scraping ice off the driveway was a little too much. That’s okay—we’re gonna have a laid-back approach to life today. I move from one spot to another and just flop down—she comes along and talks to me. And I love the way she scratches my back! It is such a yummy feeling…

She’s very busy though—at the computer. She’s got papers everywhere. She must be getting stuff around for the new year. She’s real organized and likes to be ahead of the game.

Poppy worked at the computer all morning so now he is napping—very tired. Mamaw thinks he’s kind a grouchy and he isn’t talking much. We hope everything is okay with him.

Mamaw took all of the time to get ready for our morning walk. It is hilarious to watch her: she grabs her scarf and ties it around her head, and then she puts the coat on. Oh, then she needs to get a plastic bag and Kleenex (for you know what) and then the shoes with the cleats. She can’t walk through the house with them on so it’s kinda funny when she gets ahead of herself. Well, out we go! I SPREAD OUT ON THE ICE AND REFUSED TO BUDGE. Mamaw tried to persuade me to come along but I just had to show her who the boss was today. I wonder what Mother Knows Best would say about that?

We brushed my teeth again. You know, I don’t really mind it. The toothbrush kind of relieves the teething and I get to look at Mamaw. She works so hard to take care of me!

Mamaw decided to go to the store tonight instead of tomorrow. She wanted to pick up sandwiches for Poppy’s weekend of work. She was gone a long time and I heard Poppy ask her to stop and get gift certificates for “his girls” at work. She came home and he had dinner waiting for her! I thought that was extra special—she did too.

Okay—relax. Don’t worry—be happy.
