Oh, oh—Mamaw doesn’t want to get up this morning. She told Poppy everything aches today. And I heard her whisper that she didn’t really want to take me to be boarded for the day either. It’s going to be about an 8 hour day and she wonders if I’m up to it. You know our Carroll trip I got sick and she’s afraid that might happen again. Poppy really cares how she feels about things so he said, “You don’t have to go.” Well of course she all torn between…but in the end Poppy ran to get some gas and came back to say goodbye to us.

Mamaw worked in the office for an hour or so and then asked if I wanted to walk—we did. It was cooler today. And then back to work again. I started barking quite a bit cause I think I was bored and she got mad at me. When she doesn’t feel well, she’s sort of grumpy! She made me come into the office with her and she closed the door on us.
And then finally, she said we could go lie down on her waterbed and take a nap. I wiggled up just as close as I could get to her and we took a really fine nap. I hope she’ll feel better now. Oh maybe, with Poppy’s car out of garage she thinks it’s a good time to sweep his side of the garage. We have all those ugly seed-like things and dead flowers from the trees. She says it just drives her crazy!

We are getting anxious for our Poppy to get home—we both miss him so much! Oh boy—he’s home—he’s pooped. I’ll just lie right beside him so I can feel his warmth and be good tonight. Devil—leave me alone!!
