Up early--Mamaw dragged my "travel kennel" up from the basement. She's all dressed up to go someplace and so is Poppy! Oh good--we're goin somewhere today! WRONG... She rushes me around like I'm some kind of old driftwood or somethin and then throws some "stuff" in my travel bag and she picked up the kennel with one hand and escorted me to Jessie and Steve's house.
That's not bad! I get to see Pepper. Sometimes Pepper gets territorial with me and other times it goes pretty good. Maybe that's the reason for the kennel? Anyway, SHE INFORMS ME THAT I'M TO STAY WITH THEM TODAY! Good Lord! What have I done now? Yeah, I know I threw up on the carpet the other day but I thought she was over that by now... and off she goes without even lookin back!
Now don't get me wrong--I really like this family BUT THEY'RE NOT MY FAMILY! I am worried maybe they won't come back for me. I sat and watched out the window until noon waitin on em...and when Jessie took me out to go potty I headed straight for home. I pulled and tugged and dug my nails in to try to get there--but to no avail. I'm not gonna pee in their yard I tell ya, I'm not! Pepper might get mad at me if I do for heaven's sakes!
In the afternoon I was exhausted just trying to get home to Mamaw and Poppy. And would you believe it--I was still with them at dinner time? They eat like Mamaw and Poppy do...only they don't have a "can't live without it" table. And then finally Steve and Jessie grabbed up my kennel and leashed me and I GOT TO GO HOME! Trust me--I'm like Dorothy in the Wizard Of Oz--There is no place like home. And I finally peed in my own yard. I was kinda about to burst holdin it all day I can tell ya.
A while later here came my family...oh, how I love them so. Poppy tried to catch me before I leaped out of the kennel but that didn't work! I ran right back to Mamaw and started kissin and kissin her. I needed for her to know that I love and adore her and oh Lord--how I missed her today! And then it was Poppy's turn: I ran right over to him and started kissin and kissin and didn't stop until he laughed! Welcome home, family.
I guess they got all of their business done and had a wonderful dinner with son, Mike. All is good...now Mamaw and Poppy--stay home!

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!
