Hey world—I’m 8 months old today and Johnny Palmer is coming again this morning to work on the squeaky floors so Mamaw got me around and walked me already. Then she brings me in and expects me to go in my kennel. Bah humbug! I keep looking at her with my big brown eyes till she relents and puts the “short leash” on me so I can see what’s goin on. Well, all I can tell you is there was lots of rocking back and forth, dancing, nailing and the smell of glue. I would lay at the top of the basement steps and when I would reach one paw down on the step to go down, Mamaw would get after me and tell me to stay. Well they worked and worked and then Mamaw showed Johnny the outside door where that piece of wood under the combination door is all rotten. They took pictures of the house too and Johnny told her what we need to do. He’ll come back on Thursday (early—Mamaw will just have to get around. I’ve been real good and haven’t really caused any trouble—Mamaw was so proud.
The wind is strong but we went for another walk. I saw two little kids (2 & 3 years old) in the building behind us. They are so cute and they loved me—well, what’s new? I’ll rest and Mamaw will work in the office on her stuff for a while.
It is so windy out but Mamaw thought she’d take me out and “stake me” so she could start cleaning up the yard. Oh my God—what a mess! She worked for half an hour and it was so windy the wind kept blowing her box over and she’d have to pick that up too. We’re looking forward to getting some of that stuff done tomorrow.
We walked all sorts of directions late day today. We finally got to walk in some grass—it was easier on my feet. And the old guy was there helping the kids. Mamaw asked his name, she said she couldn’t just keep referring to him as “the old guy”—he said his name is Little Richard. And then on with our walk. A little later we ran into a Mom with two little girls—they thought I was pretty and they wanted to pet me. I just wanted to lick them but Mamaw says NO – SIT. After all Mother Knows Best. I kept trying to pick things up as we went but she was really on top of it today. I’m tired…going to lie around and just enjoy the quiet…and go to bed. Night all…

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!
