Poppy has gone to work—Mamaw takes me outside when he goes to leave and has me SIT. Then she takes my right paw and waves it at him. She’s tryin to teach me to do that on my own! And our daily “treats” session? Now she wants me to learn to pick up the treat sack and take it to the kitchen for her. Now that I’m having some trouble with. I smell those wonderful liver treats and just want to stick my nose in the bag and get some more. And she’s asking me to ignore that and take the bag to the kitchen? How dumb does she think I am?

I had Mamaw pick up a huge bone treat for Ozzie cause I want him to get better soon. I wrote a little note to him and told him how he’s just gotta get to feeling better so we can play again. And, as nervous as I was, I told him I loved him…We’re gonna put the bone and the card at their front door so Ozzie will have something “special.”

Mamaw left me alone longer than she ever has today. She went to Fort Dodge with her friend Sue. I did great! It got to be kind of a long day but hey—she’s got a right to do some things too! Poppy got home first and was I ever glad to get outside—I thought my sides were bursting. And then in the house—it was just the two of us. Now that was really sweet for a change. Poppy missed Mamaw so he played with me and I loved every minute of it. And then I heard the garage door opener and knew she was home. Oh boy, the hugs and kisses we got to share then. I even got to stay up late tonight to spend time with her. Ummmm…
