Mamaw told me that her sister, Irene would have had a birthday today if she was still living—she passed away two years ago. Nice the she remembers and acknowledges that.
Poppy is going to work—AGAIN. Mamaw is goin to meet Dodi and Ashton in Johnston—I can’t go. They are goin to a special place where they will fit dancing shoes on Ashton. Mamaw says it’s ‘gonna take a long time.’ So she’s gotta get to the grocery store and get that done before she does anything else.
She came home with her groceries and got busy putting em away—she’s a ‘no nonsense’ person. The she let me out of the kennel and oops!!! I threw up…she gave me one of those ‘oh my God, not again’ looks and began to clean up the mess. After she thought I was one with that, she put me right back in the kennel. Yeah—she’s disgusted and I’m not sure I don’t blame her. There’s been a lot of that and she says we’ll have to have the carpet cleaned again. I’m sorry Mamaw…
She had no sympathy for me as she headed out the door to meet the girls either. Hours passed and I’m still feelin bad about ‘the throw up’ business when they all showed up back here. And the house is a mess—a towel on the floor in case I get ‘urppy’ again. (You can tell she doesn’t trust me). We visited a bit and Ashton took her socks off—boy, I had one in my mouth immediately. They got a kick out of the routine we have to go through for me to give it back. I tell ya, socks just call my name—over and over again. Well; that’s done. We’re happy—lookin at Emily’s notebook and talking about stuff. And Mamaw said she was so glad to see em cause it’s been a long time. And who walks in the door—POPPY! He gets to see em too! But then they had to leave—Ashton is going babysitting tonight.
Mamaw fixed pizza, ate, and went straight to bed. She even put the gate up so I couldn’t join her. She says her allergies have driven her crazy all day and she had over-medicated so goodnight everybody. Poppy and I enjoyed ourselves (I’m just as close to him as I can get) for the rest of the evening and at bedtime I went to my kennel. Night Poppy…have to work in the morning?

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!
