I’ve seen UGLY before, but this is ridiculous! We get up with plans to go to Fort Dodge, IA to see Reggie and family and meet our very bestest friends, Dutch and Joyce, for a cocktail. It’s already been arranged that I get to go…Dutch says I can stay in my kennel at his house while they’re where I can’t be. Well people I’m okay with that—I get to ride in Poppy’s Lexus and it will be nice and cool and ya all know how much I love to travel! I’m looking forward to it—how soon can we get started. Oh—Mamaw has to do the blogs and stuff and then we’re out of here.

The phone rings—NOT GOOD! I’m hearin stuff I don’t even want to listen to. Hang up Mamaw—don’t listen to any more. I don’t want today to be spoiled for us. I see the look on her face and know it isn’t good. Poppy is looking at her and listenin to the conversation too—he isn’t happy. When she hangs up the phone everything is changed! Now Poppy’s on the phone to a friend of his that sells cars in Forest City, IA and I hear them talking a deal. Cool—I can probably still go if that’s what they’re gonna do.

I’m paraded outside to go potty and I am just sure she is goin to put me in the car—WRONG. For God’s sake—I’m back in the house and in the kennel. Oh crap! And out the door they go.

They were just gone forever and when they got back I was perturbed with em for leavin me behind. Mamaw said, “Scarlett, you couldn’t go cause we wouldn’t have any place for you while we are test driving cars.” Well—la-de-la and who gives a damn.

They brought a car home for daughter, Deb. Now I hope everybody is satisfied. Mamaw stayed up late tryin to make it up to me and keeping me out of the kennel for a while but I’m just naughty—I tell you, naughty. I gotta let em know this was uncalled for! Eventually I’m in the kennel and everybody is sleepin for the night.
