The Good Life

The last few days have been great. Mommy came home and hasn't left to go to work. She told me that she is on something called summer break. I don't care what it is called I'm just excited that she is here.

Mommy has been taking me on all of my walks, and guess what? She lets me turn right from our driveway! It's exciting because we go a different way every time. Don't get me wrong, I love my Daddy and I love going for walks with him too, but he is kind of predictable. Walks with him are up to the mailbox and back, or sometimes we go to the end of the street. He also tells me that we are out for a walk and not a smell (hello, isn't that what life is all about?) where Mommy lets me stop and smell things along the way.

Well that's all for now, I just wanted to share my happiness.

MOMMY'S HOME!!!

In my last entry I was not a happy camper, and to tell the truth I don't think that Daddy was either. We were sitting in the living room watching TV when I heard the garage door opener. I looked to daddy and he asked me "Maggy, who is at the door?" I didn't know. Then I heard the keys in the door, and guess who it was? MOMMY! At first I couldn't believe my eyes. I started sniffing and it smelled like Mommy. She put the things that she had in her hands down and bent down and gave me hugs and kisses. I was so happy that I gave her kisses back. I danced around with my tail wagging! Mommy even brought me home some treats from wherever she was. I know that this is hard to believe but I was happier to see Mommy than the treats. I know that daddy was happy to see her too, he gave her a big hug and told her it was good to have her back home where she belonged.

Mommy even told me that she was going to be home for the next week! I am so relieved to have her home. I know that we will all sleep well tonight with everyone in their places where they belong.

Still No Mommy...

It's been two days since my last entry, and Mommy is STILL not home. I'm beginning to take more interest in my time with Daddy, but only because I am now wondering when HE'LL be gone too. Grandpa came over this morning, and he and Daddy worked outside for a long time. I don't know how they can do it when the air smells so bad outside. We haven't been going on our walks, and Daddy says that it is because of the bad air. I'm stuck using the backyard, and now Daddy won't even let me go out there today for some reason. Maybe it's what I stepped on when he did let me out there. He got mad at me, and I had to come back inside. Back where it is lonely because there is no Mommy to lay by and get belly rubs and treats from. I miss Mommy so much... I hope she comes home soon. Daddy seems a little upset this afternoon, so I think he misses her too. Either way, I am sad without Mommy.

Something is wrong...

Something is wrong in our home, and I don't know what to do about it. I don't know if there is anything I CAN do about it. I'm only one beagle.

MOMMY DID NOT COME HOME LAST NIGHT!!!

I waited by the door like I normally do. Daddy and I went out on our walk, and it was much later than we normally go. Still no mommy. I waited by the door some more. Still no mommy. Daddy put me to bed (at least he remembered my treat) and I had a restless night. I think Daddy did too. When we got up this morning, STILL NO MOMMY! I looked all around, smelled the driveway where we saw her last, but nothing had changed. Mommy and Daddy put a lot of stuff in her car before she left yesterday, but that happens now and then so I didn't think anything of it.

Well, I've been depressed all day. I've been dreaming that Mommy and I are on a walk together, but when I wake up she's still not here. I even tried laying on the bed and looking lonely, but Daddy was the only one that came in to rub my belly.

MOMMY COME HOME!!!

Tough Choices

This morning was tough. I tell you, I didn't know what to do. You see mommy was getting on her shoes and telling me that we were going to go for our walk, so I ran into the living room all excited with my tail wagging. Then daddy went into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator and started to get out the guinea pig's breakfast, so I ran in there all excited, because you never know if something is going to fall onto the floor or if daddy will give me something. Then mommy said, "walk" but daddy rustled the plastic bags.... it was too much I tell you. I didn't know which to choose. I kept going back and forth between mommy and daddy. Do you know what they had the nerve to do? Laugh at me! I don't think that is very nice.

Well the torture ended when daddy gave Daphne and Velma their breakfast and mommy put my leash on me and we went for our walk. I was so excited that mommy was walking me in the morning for a change, usually daddy walks me because mommy is going to work and daddy only wants to turn left out of our driveway. Mommy lets me turn right!

Talking about all of this is making me tired again, I better go and take a nap. You never know what I might need my strength for.
