October 3, 2012 - SHE'S A SMART GIRL SAYS CANINE CRAZE!

It's been hard on me lately. Mamaw has that bad hip and bad knee and just doesn't get around very good. Poppy says she's supposed to rest more than she does. Poppy and me can see how much it hurts her to move every time she insists but it's hard to hold her down.

This week she's been in and out of the house haulin her 2 ice cream buckets of water to make sure "her blooms" keep bloomin. And today was our very last BEST day of the week so she watered trees and bushes and everything. She got her scissors out and was cuttin those long vines she loves so much so she could get her plant inside that she doesn't want to lose. She's gonna keep takin out all those sheets to cover "her specials" to keep as long as she can.

When Poppy took me to Canine Craze on Monday, Mamaw was havin trouble gettin around. But when he came to pick me up all of a sudden, she had ghosts out in the flower bed and her scarecrow down on the lower level deck. Tellin ya right now--I ain't happy bout it either. That huge ghost just flops around in the wind and it scares the he** out of me! Wonder how long she's gonna let THEM stay out there?

The Canine Craze Report Card says I'm still in Kindergarten but the message was, "She is such a smart girl." If that's the case, why didn't they promote me to First Grade Skills? I don't get it--do you?

Poppy went back to the doctor on Monday--we still don't know anything. Guess he has to go see some kind of a specialist. Me and Mamaw--we worry...

They did go out last night. Mamaw called it, "Date Night" and didn't feel bad at all just walkin out and leavin me to myself. She said they haven't done that in a long time and she needed a date so Poppy tole her he'd be her date. They came home laughin and havin fun so I guess they had a good time.

When they went to bed, I was finally able to settle down and sleep myself. I just can't relax and really rest till everybody is home and safe.
