We’re up but doin nothin! It FEELS GOOD TOO! Mamaw was lazy and wasn’t getting up so when Poppy took me outside this morning, as soon as he unleashed me—I ran helter skelter into the bedroom and pounced on the bed. It took a little bit for her to wake up and oh my God, she smells good! I love it when we have our “love fests” in there…

Poppy must have had an ulterior motive though…half hour out of bed he comes into the living room like a little boy with Pillsbury Dough Boy tube of rolls in his hands. He says, “Mamaw, would you be at all interested?” She never says no…So, the rolls are baked and Poppy has to eat them alone cause Mamaw overdid and still has a pound to get rid of from her over-indulgence. Mamaw and I just relish in the wonderful, sugary smell of them and try to be good. I got so hungry smelling the smell that I had to go eat some of my own food. Mamaw got her Diet Mountain Dew and her breakfast bar and did the same. We’re gonna be okay now…
Poppy took me out to go poop but I let him know in no uncertain terms that I want back in the house. I’m just gonna wait on Mamaw…But she goes to the office to work and so I wait. Finally as she passes through the kitchen on her way to get this office work done, I indicate to her that I’d like to go out and poop. She took me and I’ll tell ya—I needed that. She insisted I come back into the house though—says we’ll walk after she gets some of this stuff done…and so I wait.

Finally, I get my walk. I’m trying to do better, without yankin on Mamaw cause she told Poppy she’s lookin at a different leash setup and I definitely DO NOT like the sounds of that! Poppy suggested we call Deb at Bark Busters again and work on this with our regular collar—I’m worried!

But I can’t worry about that right now—she’s gettin real busy getting towels together—yep; she says it is bath time. I don’t mind—or do I? I’m really not in the mood today but she is insisting—says we may want to travel. I make her chase me to get my collar off…that’s teach her! But the warm water was wonderful—the scrub was too! She takes her time bathing me and kisses and talks all of the time. I think she’s tryin to make me feel better about the whole thing but who knows. If I ask she will just say, Mother Knows Best. I struggle to get out of the tub but she’s onto me. Finally I get to get out and she rubs the shammy all over me to catch as much water as she can. The hair dryer runs for a while too as I run around and around just having a ball!

And after that, I am tired. I lay down to be the “watch dog” and I get to barking too much. Mamaw warns but I’m not listening to suit her so she shoves me into the kennel to finish drying. Hoe hum…She just keeps working in the office like she’s got too many things to do or somethin.
