Mamaw and Poppy are starting to pick up “stuff” so she can clean house for company. They are kind of having issues over it. I’m going to stay out of the way and try to stay neutral.  She cleaning house like you wouldn’t believe it! She went down into that big opening, (the one she always says, “wait”) and was there FOREVER. I heard all kinds of noises coming from there so I suppose it is clean enough to pass the white-glove test!

She didn’t ignore me all together though. She got all “duded” up in her winter outside get-up and we went for a really nice walk. We saw the UPS man with a whole bunch of packages but they weren’t for us. It is very slippery outside cause there is ice under the two inches we got so it’s kind of hard to just keep walking. A little slip here-a little slip there. It was so nice though—fresh air always makes me feel better. That doesn’t mean I was any more anxious to walk though. I just keep laying flat on my tummy trying to show her I don’t want to walk—she says, “come on Scarlett, we both need the exercise” so off we go. But sometimes I win pulling that stuff on her! Not today.

I got hold of a pair of Mamaw’s boxer panties today. I can’t figure out how to put them on. There are two holes so I put my head through one hole—that’s not right. I tugged and pulled and tried to get them on my behind but that didn’t work either. I gotta hand it to her how she manages to do that every day!

And then she and Poppy went down the stairs into that “hole” and I heard noises like balls hitting each other. I wanted to go down too but she says she isn’t ready to introduce me to the “basement” yet. She thinks I’ll be extra, super nosey and will keep her busy looking out for me. So—I had to be in my kennel and miss all the fun.
