Mamaw has a problem his mornin and she’s havin trouble gettin out of bed. She can’t stand up straight cause her lower back is just killing her. When she tried to bend down to pick up my leash, she had terrible pain. She finally decided to just open the door and see if I would go out—I did. It was a necessity! Looks like no fun for us today…take somethin to help Mamaw—please?

Poppy had to go to work and I really hated that cause I was hopin at least there would be somebody I could play with—maybe even use my “tug” with but no such luck.  Poppy had gone to get gas and picked up the Sunday Register for her cause he thought it was Monday. She laughed cause it is only Sunday and now we have two papers…funny.  Poppy had said, “No, it’s Monday and I’m thankful to have another work day out of the way.” Mamaw stood her ground and finally he got it! They are so funny—I love to watch their interaction. They kinda have a rule around here—they say NO YIPPING (I guess that means no fightin). It’s all good folks…it’s all good.

It’s been very, very quiet. When she tried to make the bed she shut the door on me as she said, “I can’t mess with your antics this morning, Scarlett. I just need to get this done.” That set the stage for the entire day.

Half the day she spent in the office “doin her own thing.” The other half she sat at her laptop and worked on that novel. Oh, I forgot—she did kinda read the paper.

Poppy wasn’t the least bit interested in the 83rd Annual Academy Awards so we went to the waterbed. Oh, don’t worry she took that damned e-reader along too. Mamaw reads during the commercials.  She likes to see the dresses and hear the interviews and try to guess who gets each award. (I laugh so hard under my breath cause she rarely goes to a movie; how would she know anyway?) But I can’t let that chuckle out or she’d throw me out of the bedroom!

I fell asleep—she fell asleep. Then Poppy came in to bed and he fell asleep. I’M STILL SLEEPIN IN THE WATERBED! I was dreamin away and Poppy tried to pick me up and I was scared so I nipped at him. Then later Mamaw tried to pick me up and I was still dreamin and I nipped at her. I went back to my dreamin and they did too! Guess I’ll wake up in bed with em in the mornin.
