March 1, 2011 -- In like a lamb...

My folks got up with big smiles on their faces. I wondered what caused that so I asked. Poppy said, “March came in like a lamb…”  So what? Who cares? I’m just waitin for SPRING to get here.
Then Mamaw said, “and goes out like a LION.” She hopes not—Poppy hopes not—AND I SURE TO HOPE NOT!

I got some pretty serious treatment today. I’m still not out of the doghouse over that “nippin” crap. I can assure you there was no waterbed again tonight. And she wanted to go on one of her walks today. When she got all bundled up and stuck those IPod buds in her ears I KNEW. She grabbed the leash and invited me to go—forget it! She just shoved my butt in the kennel and without looking back out the door she went.

The middle of the day when I saw Ozzie out with his new caretaker, I carried on and carried on and she wouldn’t take me out. I thought she needed to get a little bit of her own thoughtlessness—that’s why I refused to walk with her.

She’s been a slave to that novel again. It’s now all about choosing the 3 chapters she needs to submit to publishers. I think she was actually sweatin over her project but by God when Poppy got home from work she was able to tell him she had the chapters prepared. She told him she’s “tremblin in her boots” thinkin about that synopsis so she’s gonna take some time to think about that. She has a book to read about it and if I know her like I think I do—she’ll be on the Internet checkin it out too. Good work Mamaw—we’re proud of ya. At least ya didn’t quit writin the novel when you didn’t feel well or you had writer’ block.

I just can’t hardly wait to see what’s gonna happen tomorrow. Things are really poppin around here…Poppy said he didn’t want to talk about it!
