I’m still HERE! They let me out to go potty and I’M STILL HERE! Oh gosh—I think I hear Mamaw’s voice out in the office area! And Poppy’s too! Oh, I think they are here to pick me up! I can’t wait! Will I remember who they are? Oh please God—let it be them!!!! Aw—it is. I am FINALLY GOING HOME! I’m gonna try to be really, really good so I won’t have to go there again! I’m going to tell that ole Devil to leave me alone!

I got to sit on Mamaw’s lap on the way home from the vet. It FELT SO GOOD! I am the happiest I have ever been in my life! I don’t really think that I had to stay there because I was naughty after all—they seemed to be very, very happy to see me too! We got home and I ate and loved them both! It was really a love fest this morning. I finally settled down knowing that I was deeply loved and cared for.

I don’t even want to talk about what took place IN EXILE for me today! It is Sunday—I’m still here! My God—I must have really upset Mamaw and Poppy to be here for two days! I can’t do anything but lay in this kennel until somebody comes to walk me. A very nice young lady did come—twice—both morning and evening but it isn’t the same as when Mamaw and Poppy walk me. We talk along the way and Mamaw keeps saying, “Good girl—good girl.” There is very little talking done here. I want to go home—please God—I want to go home!

I woke up feeling really edgy this morning – actually Poppy woke me up earlier than usual.  Still no Mamaw.  I am concerned that there is something going on today. Poppy was around doing his “clean-up act” and things seem unusual today. I did my potty and poop activities but didn’t feel like eating breakfast.

Well just when I thought things were going to get started normally Poppy got out my bedroom kennel and loaded me into the car with him – I saw him sneak out some of my food and doggy bones in a sack to the car – I have a feeling I am going somewhere today. Hope it’s not to “Bark Busters” – this might be the real “exile” that Mamaw is always threatening me with if I don’t behave. The ride was pretty short – when I got out of my crate I realize that I was at Jessica’s place. That’s good ‘cause I always like to see her – she is so nice and they treat me like they really like me to come there.

Another day and no Mamaw – I strolled all over the place today – her scent is everywhere but I couldn’t find her in any of the usual places. Poppy was “Johnny on the spot” for food, water, potty and poop runs but it sure is different without Mamaw around – just seems like things aren’t quite right when she isn’t here for our love fests. The weather was nicer today and Poppy and I went for two walks all around our neighborhood.

We also continued with our “ball” games and he worked with me on another game called Sit and Stay. The Sit is easy – I already know how to do this but the “Stay” shit is a little harder to understand. Looks like it will be more work – that probably means the return of the “Bark Busters” – ugh more rules I’m sure. I did get in some exercise running full speed up and down the hallways and from room to room. That was fun but I actually was looking for Mamaw and alas – I didn’t find her anywhere. I sure hope she comes home pretty soon ‘cause I miss her so much. I believe Poppy is missing her too – well I don’t blame him ‘cause she is so sweeeeeet!

I am 4 months old today and what do we see when we get up? A note from Mamaw! Bye for now, Poppy & Scarlett. I love U both sooooo much! Something is goin’ on here today – Poppy woke me up this morning instead of Mamaw. He was very loving and took me out for my essentials and had breakfast waiting but I missed Mamaw’s special way of waking me up. Poppy told me Mamaw was gone for a few days visiting her son, Daniel and his family.

It was pretty chilly out today so Poppy and I went for just one walk. Walking with him is a little different than going with Mamaw – he is no nonsense and I decided I better walk pretty good if I want him to take me on more nice walks. We did play quite a bit – especially chase the ball and bring it back to him. I think I am getting the hang of it better now. Overall, we did pretty good but I sure can’t wait for Mamaw to get back home.

Chilly this morning—we look a short-cut on our walk this morning. She’s been busy in the kitchen. Yesterday she made an apple pie – today she made Rice Krispie Bars for Poppy. I waited around in the kitchen to see if she would give me any but she wouldn’t—and she didn’t drop any on the floor! Darn it…

We are washing clothes again. Poppy says she will wear our clothes out by washing them so often. Mamaw says that cleanliness is next to Godliness.

We all took a lovely nap this afternoon. Poppy, Mamaw and ME in the MIDDLE on the couch. It was so nice—like 3 peas in a pod. It was so warm and loving…

It is cold and rainy this morning. I don’t enjoy staying out for very long. Mamaw says we’ll wait and see what happens before we decide on a walk.  I was STARVING this morning and ate right away. I told you I was sassy last night and got sent to bed. She didn’t even care that I didn’t get to finish eating!

And this morning I was told, “Out, out, out—EXILE” when I started in on the lavender rug in the bathroom. She just doesn’t get it…

Good Lord, I have the next size kennel—that is my third den! Mamaw left me to go to PetSmart to get a new pad. She brought it home and took the smaller kennel in the bedroom and then she put me in the new one. I didn’t like it—I didn’t appreciate it. The pad in this one has bumpers around it and doesn’t lay flat. She put me in to see how I liked it and I sure showed her! I pushed it to the side of laid on the plastic floor. I know she felt kind of bad about it but she wouldn’t let on. She just said, “Well, in the future maybe you won’t be so anxious about all of the biting, because that is where you are going to go.” Oh, oh…
