I think I’m gonna have my hands full with Mamaw! She’s getting CABIN FEVER already…She’s been outside most of the day. First it’s those awful crab apples (they’re almost gone though), and then it’s the tree roots comin up through the ground, and then it’s weedin the flowers. I said, “Mamaw—didn’t Miss Betty tell you to take time to smell the roses?” She gave me ‘that don’t go there look.’ It was nice though—she put me on my long leash and I soaked up some of the sun too.
She keeps telling Poppy she’s allergic to me and she’s havin problems with her allergies but let me tell ya what I think! She needs to quit worryin about workin outside and do some dusting on the inside. I’m not brave enough to tell her that but later in the day; she sent an email to my favorite, John Swanson, handsome dude and asked about getting the carpet cleaned. And of course she’s blamed it all on me. “Miss Scarlett’s ‘nervous tummy’ has made a mess of the carpet stuff—I’m sick of hearin about it. Anyway, she thinks we don’t have to do the WHOLE HOUSE—just the living room and hallway. That seems to be where I always end up bein sick. We’ll wait and see what’s goin on in that area—as I said, we’ll wait to see—I’m not goin there!

I sure am missin Ozzie today. A fella is walkin his dog and I beg Mamaw to let me out to see him. It just gets lonely without my friends and I haven’t seen any of em. That business of the noises still has me spooked somewhat and I don’t want to take a walk. Well, she let me out and she talked with the fella and I got to see this cute dog, whose name is “hairy” and he was.
Soon after, I wanted out again so Mamaw told Poppy I was goin on a walk one way or another and off we went. It’s cooler today and I don’t mind it as much. She gives me a little space to just smell up the place too so that helps. Today we got up to the curve on the trail and she took my leash off for the first time. I got to be FREE—but I don’t want to be too free. I go a ways and then look back to make sure SHE’S there. This went on until she sees a man with two dogs comin our way and then she leashed me back up. It was a very nice, but scary, experience and she promised me we could try it again when we’re out there all by ourselves.

Mamaw told me that her sister, Irene would have had a birthday today if she was still living—she passed away two years ago. Nice the she remembers and acknowledges that.
Poppy is going to work—AGAIN. Mamaw is goin to meet Dodi and Ashton in Johnston—I can’t go. They are goin to a special place where they will fit dancing shoes on Ashton. Mamaw says it’s ‘gonna take a long time.’ So she’s gotta get to the grocery store and get that done before she does anything else.

We gotta wash the towels today. After a bath we got so many towels to wash it looks like a hotel around here! I’ve gotten pretty brave in my old age…the noises scared the heck out of me and I’m leery but I can go out on the deck now with Mamaw and Poppy. I’ve been getting my early morning brush out there—feels so good. Then she comes back in and runs the sweeper. She says I’m lots of work…well, what did she expect? That I’d do the work?
Poppy is off to the salt mines again today…Mamaw has those darned apples to pick up. Gets kinda boring around here sometimes. Wish I could play with Ozzie but he’s in southern Iowa with Becky and Cully. When he gets back at the first of the week, I’m gonna ask if he can come play.

Poppy is home with us today—Mamaw and I are so happy. She told me she’s not gonna do anything but wait and see what he wants to do. He’s one of those guys that doesn’t know what he’s gonna do till 5 minutes before he does it. (smile) Mamaw has figured him out so she just waits on him.
She got so many pages done yesterday for Emily’s notebook that she’s sittin here today putting them in order. She lets Poppy and I look at it when she’s finished and I tell ya—we are both impressed. We are sure Emily is gonna be too!

We’re startin a new month already. And with that, Mamaw has let go of some of her strict rules. Now when we go outside to poop, she let’s me lead the way. Now, it took her how long to figure that out? I’m sorry people; I gotta ‘smell’ my way into a poop. And I like to keep smellin around and get the second one of the day done at the same time. That frees me up for most of the day and it works for me!
We gotta get Poppy’s lunch packed too. Mamaw and I have hardly seen him at all—we’re missin him. He says tomorrow we’ll have OUR DAY. I sure hope that means a nice ride…

Poppy and Mamaw were talking this morning about how fast the month of August has gone. The days are getting shorter too! And I can attest to the fact that the leaves have been fallen for almost the WHOLE MONTH! We think it’s awful early this year…fall and winter that is.
Last year in October I remember the wonderful colors of the fallen leaves and me askin Mamaw “if I could keep em.” I was little then; yet saw that nature is a beautiful thing. Not so much this year. Mamaw says she’s glad she got photos of me with all those leaves so we can remember it—me too! I think I was 4-5 months old and already loved the outdoors.
