Mamaw was up at 3:00 a.m. this morning. I think she took some Tylenol and quietly went back to bed. That must not have helped, cause at 5:20 she was up again. Poppy had just awakened too and I heard them talking about how much she was aching. She took a pain pill and went back to bed. I just laid there really quiet and didn’t make a move. She needs her rest right now. At 8:45 she was up—seemed in a better frame of mind and said that she was finally able to sleep. I hope that doesn’t ruin our day!


Then I got up, went outside as usual and don’t have the energy I would like to have. Our daily walks have become “work” for me and I’m not enjoying them. I lay down a lot to let Mamaw know that I don’t want to walk. Deb from Bark Busters is coming on Wednesday and I know they will be talking about that. Mamaw is always thinking Mother knows best. I am enjoying my new mattress and so this morning I’ve done some “tummy rubs,” self play and lying around in my kennel with the door open. Mamaw always says she can tell when I don’t want to be bothered because I go in there.  Of course she thinks that cute!

She went out again this afternoon—said she had a mammogram. She explained to me how they squish her breasts and take pictures of them to see if there are any growths in there. She asked me to be really gentle with her for the rest of the day.

And more groceries—I don’t see how two people can eat so much food! She never runs right to me when she comes in the door. She puts the groceries away first. I think that is what the book, Mother Knows Best advised them to do. So, I wait, and wait, and wait but I’m always glad to get out of the kennel and get a “good girl” out of them.
