Monday, November 26, 2012 -- STILL MISSING IN ACTION!

We had Miss Paige comin and goin from our house Wednesday thru Saturday. We was eatin our dinner when she walked in the door. I like that gal a whole lot too! Well, when we finished our meal and Mamaw went to clear the table, she dropped a paper towel. I got to it quicker than she did and I ran like hell with it into the living room--ya see, I wanted to show Miss Paige what I could get by with. Last time she was here I was an angel--honest. Well, I ATE THE WHOLE THING! Mamaw was so disgusted with me; and she made a big deal out of it in front of Miss Paige but I didn't care...

Thanksgiving Day Poppy got up and almost stepped in some evidence of my belly ache. And when Mamaw got up he tole on me. She said, "Oh great--this IS NOT the way I wanted to start my day." I kinda slinked outta the room and out of her sight. She gets so put-out with me I can't hardly stand the look on her face. She got that cleaned up and later there was more evidence showin...oh my God--I thought she was gonna blow her stack.

They got invited to go to Thanksgiving dinner at Miss Vicki's house so when they got ready to leave Mamaw said, "Poppy, I'm not goin anywhere unless Miss Scarlett is in her kennel." I knew I was dead meat when Poppy went to the basement and came up draggin my kennel. I tried to avoid the darn thing, but she grabbed me and literally shoved me in and locked the door! Guess I was busted for sure! So whose laughin now?

They came home and Mamaw right away said, "I'm so glad I made her go to her kennel Poppy." Cause she opened the door and there was a big wad of the paper towel I tried to hide under my little pillow--more evidence. That Mamaw--she somehow finds out every time what I'm up to--do ya think she has eyes in the back of her head or what?

The rest of the weekend went better for me. I still had some of that awful paper towel and it was hard to get my poo out and dropped onto the ground. Not sure that was such a terrific idea after all--but I did show Miss Paige what I could do--and get by with too.

Good news and bad news this weekend though. Our bestest friend, John Hunchins lost his battle with cancer on Saturday morning and Notre Dame WON leavin them with a 12-0 record. Ya outta see em when they watch a game--all dudded up in their Notre Dame clothes and serious as all get out.

Beyond that, my big pigs ear is still missin. Mamaw has been busy lookin for it and so have I but where did I put it? I need somethin to chew on. This mornin Mamaw was in the closet lookin at my nummy numbs and I smelled A BULLY WHIP! I snatched it outta the bag and headed for the bedroom. "Scarlett, that's supposed to be Mr. Dallas' Christmas present, you willy nilly." She didn't take it away right away--but after an hour here she came with her little broom to make sure I was gonna be willing to part with it. What else could I do?

Life has its little ups and downs...I fear more downs than ups this week...
