It’s really pretty hard for me to know how Mamaw can have so many errands to run…it seems like she does them EVERY DAY! When we got up this morning, Poppy was goin to have to work again…I’m sure missin the car rides we used to take together! Mamaw said she didn’t have plans to go out of the house today and I thought that was pretty swell.

Then the phone rang—it was Poppy. “Are you runnin any errands today Babe,” he asked her. Well, she would never say NO to him and he needed something so he asked her if she would run that over to Valley West. Of course you know the answer to that! She was in the process of washing the bedding and Mr. John had just delivered the exercise bike for her to use in bad weather.

She got duded up—but not too much and said she would just run a couple more errands of her own while she was out. Yeah!!! She wasn’t gone long though and she was happy. She let me out of the kennel and put my leash on and said, “Scarlett, let’s go get Ozzie and we’ll all go outside to go potty.” I was in HEAVEN…did ya hear me? I WAS IN HEAVEN…

Next door she calls for Ozzie to come and were we ever happy to see each other. That’s the first time I’ve ever been in HIS HOUSE…and he’s been in mind a lot! Out we go and just spend all of the time we want to and then we all go in OUR HOUSE. Ozzie always goes straight to the kitchen and waits for his treats. He got his 4—I got my 2. And then he wanted to go home! I thought maybe he was gonna get his way but Mamaw pulled out her dusting rag and started dustin the living room—and all the time Ozzie just stood in the kitchen. She tried to tell him to sit—no way…When she was done dustin, she put his leash on him and made me stay back while she took him home. I guess that’s alright but why couldn’t I just go next door with them?

Her project is comin right along…her fingers just tap, tap, tap and it puts me to sleep cause I lay behind her computer chair and the sounds just have such a rhythm that I’m a gonner before I know it.

Poppy came home—I got my belly rub that makes me “tap dance” and all was well. They ate their dinner and put another one of those CD’s in that whatcha ma call it and there was dead silence…but after they were done, I got to go to the waterbed with Mamaw…delightful! I think it’s been three nights since I’ve been there so I really rolled around and had a good time.
