We’ve had 80 days of more than 5 inches of snow on the ground. Wow—wouldn’t you know it would happen like this my first year on this earth? And the cold too—although I told you I don’t mind that at all. God made me “winter ready.”
Mamaw is on hurtin status for sure. I’m trying to be good and Poppy is just being wonderful to her. He has started a load of clothes in the washer for her and I am laying in the living room with my toy beside me waiting for her to feel like playing. I knew it wasn’t going to be really good today when it was Poppy who got me up this morning.
Mamaw is moving pretty slow. She took me for a walk but was really uncomfortable and ALMOST FELL DOWN AGAIN (on the ice this time) so we came home. She decided to get her errands taken care of and then she would tend to me. Mamaw is leaving—Poppy and I are going to “hang.”
“Scarlett, do you want to go for a ride in the car”? She didn’t have to ask me twice. Her car was warm from running her errands so off we went, leaving Poppy alone this time. I love the rides—I can’t tell you enough how happy they make me. So—we rode, and rode and then she pulled into PetSmart. There were lots of dogs and people and I had a wonderful time! I got to see a human baby too. I just sort of peeked around at the baby; but oh, what big blue eyes he had! As we walk up and down the aisles, I am looking under the shelving for doggie treats. People who work there all know my name so I hear them saying, “Hello Scarlett,” “Hi Miss Scarlett -- It’s really quite a marvelous place to take a pet.
Mamaw's Important Stuff

About Me
- andio
- West Des Moines, IA, United States
- Since 1982 I have wanted to write a book. But it was never possible for me to dedicate myself to writing so I pushed it aside. Permanent retirement caught up with me in March 2010. I began writing that novel and it is finished; now in its 4th editing. And during that time, I've become selfish about having it published. You see, it is a true story--MATCH.COM--and much too intimate to share with the masses. It is being held back for family and friends to enjoy at the proper time. And as previously mentioned, Miss Scarlett came into our lives at just the right time to completely enjoy her. She had a voice in this house from the very beginning and wanted to share feelings from her point of view from the beginning--I gave her that audience. Then she decided to take a break for nearly a year--she is back folks!
