Oh my God—here we go again! What now? I’m up at 5:00 a.m. again! Well, I’ll go pee but I can’t get the other goin right now. You’ll just have to wait on me for a change. Mamaw says she’ll try but she’s gotta be on the road by 7:00 to go get Miss Betty and get her to the doctor—and Poppy has a dental appointment at 7:30. Mamaw did take the time to take me out just before she left so I was able to get my ‘job’ done. And so off she goes…Poppy shortly behind her. I’m in the kennel.

Aw, but not bad at all. Poppy’s home after a bit and then here comes Mamaw runnin in the house to tell Poppy to get hold of me cause Miss Betty is comin to our house for coffee. Well, was I ever excited? In fact, I’m so excited that when Mamaw went to the bedroom to take the bedding off to wash—I stayed right there with Miss Betty. And I wasn’t at all interested in goin with her when she went to get them out of the dryer. I’m stayin put—I’ll tell ya—I’m stayin put! Poppy’s gonna take Miss Betty back to Vicki’s house so I guess we’re gonna make the bed now. Oops—NOW Mamaw won’t let me in the bedroom. What’s up with that?

And so I think we’re getting back to normal—whatever NORMAL means. It’s definitely laundry day but Mamaw is so tired I don’t think we’re doin anything else. She did run the sweeper in the living room and took me outside to get ‘brushed.’ Oh—and she did got out and pick up those awful apples again! Poppy just tries to ignore her ya know? Cause she’s bitchin about the apples but still goes out and gets em.

Poppy’s visit to the dentist wasn’t a good one. He has to have a tooth pulled (ouch) and then they either have to make a new partial plate or figure a way to add a tooth. Poppy says this just isn’t good at all and he’s not lookin forward to it. Mamaw asked what happened and Poppy said along the way with Betty’s stroke and Darrell’s health and death that this tooth became kind of loose. Well Mamaw said she’s gonna cook things soft till he gets it fixed. Poppy wouldn’t be able to go to work if he can’t put his partial plate in. We’d best pray about this…

Dinner was very simple—Hamburger Helper. Got leftovers for dinner tomorrow too. Mamaw has already warned me that she’s got tons of stuff to do tomorrow. After dinner Mamaw left me with Poppy AGAIN and went to bed. Don’t let the bedbugs bite ya Mamaw!
