Mamaw was on the road very early this morning—has to be at the hospital to supervise Betty’s shower/dressing before 8:30. She got me up and took me outside but didn’t allow me enough “smelling” time so I didn’t go potty for her at all. She told Poppy he will have to deal with me. She’s still in quite a mood and shared with Poppy that when she gets back, she needs to talk through the blog thing with him.

I thought maybe Mamaw had just run away—she was gone all morning! Well, they changed the shower time from 8:30 to 10:30 so she just stayed there. I think maybe that was the good Lord’s way of just slowing her down today so she can think about things.

She rushes around and gets the laundry going right away—she has hers and Betty’s to get done today. And she is VERY QUIET—she’s just devastated! Poppy and I don’t get much conversation out of her…

But she gets my “stuff” and asks if I want a walk. I think I better take her on a long walk to help clear her head. We’re off and going and oops—I gotta poop right off the bat! Well, she cleans it up and off we go. I’m a little nervous with the movements and sounds around here. Mamaw thinks I may have gotten a little “spooked” by all of the storms we’ve been havin. I’m not crazy about the walk and once we started I wished we’d just stayed at home. But Mamaw had other ideas and made me see it through to the end. She must have had to correct me at least half a dozen times to go on. And in the house we are so hot—she gets my squeeze bottle and gives me some water. I love it when she does that.

The rest of the evening is still very quiet. She works in the office for a while and Poppy just sits around with that channel changer and flips through the channels. Mamaw gets so out of sorts when he does that so I guess she is going to the waterbed to watch something else (including the commercials)! I may go with her for a while if she can settle down…
