Poppy’s goin to work—Mamaw’s getting Miss Betty’s laundry all folded up nice to take to her a little later. We’re goin outside to “do my duty” and take a walk at the same time. I keep smellin for that black and white male dog I said I just hated. We don’t see him anymore. Well Mamaw was none too kind when he would start in trying to attack me (why me Lord? – I’m a good kid) and just snarled and barked till he really just made Mamaw want to throw up. I think the lady kind of figured that out too. He’s not a good boy and isn’t friendly with the other dogs in our neighborhood. In fact, the one fella Mamaw likes so well said her dog DID ATTACK his dog—and for no reason. He had all kinds of names for her dog but Mamaw won’t let me tell you what they are.

Vicki, Judy and Mamaw are going to a Sipada party at 11:00 Mamaw told me. I suppose she’s gonna buy some more of that stuff that makes her “my walking target.” She promised not to be gone too long; but get this: I can’t go see Miss Betty cause she’s gonna slip over to the hospital after the party. Bah Humbug…

Well, I guess it’s a good thing she didn’t take me to the hospital with her. She said when she got there Miss Betty was hangin from the ceiling with excitement! They had a conference call and she is to be released in two weeks! With that and all of her therapies, I wouldn’t have gotten to have any fun with her. Mamaw said she went and watched her to physical therapy and occupational therapy. When they came to get Betty to make the cookies, Mamaw told her she was leavin cause she knew when THAT was done she’d be ready for a nap!

Home again, Mamaw stripped the bed and washed the sheets. She stopped and bought two new pillows and I guess she just couldn’t wait to use them. I kind of like to lay on one now and then myself. And while the sheets were in the dryer, I started barking and Mamaw was “shushing” me but I was still barking and here came Poppy! He was supposed to go take a test after work but came home not feeling so great. Mamaw said, “Oh Poppy—the beds not made.” Well, he layed down on it anyway. When the sheets were finished, she put them on so Poppy could really rest. I have a secret—his big toe hurts! (ouch)

And I’ve had three walks today, so I’m kinda tired too. Mamaw says she is too – from looking at jewelry? You gotta be kidding me…

Well, we’ll relax some and go to bed I guess. And we did…I put myself to bed at 10:00 and Poppy closed my kennel, covered me up, and said goodnight Precious. (kiss, kiss)
