No Poppy—don’t go to work! I think Mamaw is still disgusted with me and I don’t want to be alone with her! “Suck it up,” Poppy said.  Turned out not to be so bad after all. She washed two loads of clothes and I didn’t offer to help her—and she didn’t ask for help either. It’s been pretty darned quiet here too…

And then I THREW UP! I wanted to tell her it was her fault cause she started me on that
omega-6 the vet suggested to help the itching. They are longgg pills and she tries to trick me into thinkin I’m getting treats FOR NOTHIN, but Mamaw didn’t raise no dummy. I hung my head again…sorry Mamaw. She was very good about it though; grabbed a towel out of the bathroom to put under my chin to protect the carpeting so I was thankful for that—she was too. Then she sat with me a long time to make sure I was gonna be okay—I really liked that. Nothin better than havin someone “there for ya” if you get what I mean? When I went in my kennel she picked up the towel and went on with her day.

By 11:30 no more eruptions so she slipped over and closed my kennel and off she went. She said, “Miss Scarlett—I’m so proud of myself I didn’t give up on this novel and now that it is completed, I’m treating myself to an afternoon doing something I want to do. She did…she was smiling when she came home.

Poppy walked in the door a little early tonight and surprised both of us. I always get so excited cause I know it’s belly rub time—once in the morning and once at night. I’m available for more if he wants to give em to me.

Again no waterbed. Since I hadn’t felt very well all day I spent lots of time in my kennel; and that’s just alright. When she wanted to take that damned e-reader and go back to the waterbed, she just closed up my kennel and said, “Good night Beautiful—I’ll see you in the morning” and off she went!
