October 22, 2012 -- RENE' BURST MY BUBBLE!

It seemed like such a nice Monday morning--Rene' and Friends day! I'm always on my best behavior when I know I'm going to Canine Craze...I wanta get there as early in the day as possibhle and stay until 4:30-5:00 in the afternoon. I was finished eatin, doin my duty and there at 7:15 a.m. The rule is they tell the Mom's and Pop's that they need to make sure their dog has already pooped and is ready to go. So, we just do it at home and then we don't have ta worry when we get there.

It was a great day of fun and games as always. When Mamaw came to pick me up she looked so sad...I coulda cried. She took me to the car and we headed home--my window down half-way so I could get some air.

On our trip home Mamaw said, "Oh Miss Scarlett, I just read a notice that Canine Craze Performance Center isn't going to have the daycare or boarding service effective Friday, November 2, 2012." Rene' is just gonna do the training sessions from now on...

I hang my head as she shakes her head to and fro--trying to comfort me. We are both beyond disappointed! Then she says, "Well, don't despair, you can go next Monday--but that's the last day. We'll talk to Becky and begin to set up 'play dates' for you and Dallas--it's gonna be okay."

It was a sad time for all of us. Poppy was just as shocked as the rest of us was. They talked about maybe sendin me to a 6-week training session but she don't know how that works. She thinks we should just think about it and after my last day she will talk to Rene' and see just what that training is. She don't want to pay for the stuff she has already taught me...and I don't wanta have to go through all that again either!

Then they got all gussied up (ya know--Mamaw with all her jewelry? And she fixed her hair real nice; even Poppy said so.)  She tole me they was goin to somebody's house to support some political guy--and I had ta stay home feelin all sad and everythin...

I was sure glad when they got home. Mamaw felt sorry for me and reclined on the loveseat with Poppy, watchin the last debate. I climbed up on her lap and just took in the heat of her body and her gentle touch...maybe things are gonna be okay after all...

The popcorn was good too...
