I was enjoying having Mommy home and being her "little shadow" as she calls me when I noticed that she wasn't quite acting like herself. She was spending a lot of time laying on the couch watching TV. Hey, I enjoy myself a good lazy day now and again, but almost the whole week?
When I go up to her she feels hot and has a terrible cough. I hate to say this, but at times when she coughs it hurts my ears. I know that it is hurting Daddy's ears too, because he has said so.
My conclusion to all of this is that Mommy is sick. She is sleeping a lot, coughing a lot, watching a lot of TV, and just not herself. I will be happy when she is over whatever it is that she has. A sick Mommy is not a fun Mommy.

MOMMY CAME HOME!!!
Oh my... I'm so excited!!! Mommy finally came home!!!
Today looked just like yet another lonely day without Mommy. Daddy let me out a little after regular time and it was all just the same routine. Food, Potty, Treat, Daddy goes and stands in the water. Then, a bit of a change: Daddy gave me peanut butter and left. A bit unusual, but not totally. Well, he came back and I was very excited to see him. He didn't stay inside, though. He went out back and did some things, then would walk out to the front and come back with this big white bag on his shoulder. (Those bags turned out to have dirt in them, which is confusing to me because we already have dirt in the back so why do we need more? It's not like those white bags made the dirt special or something.)
This went on for a little while, and then he came in and put my collar on me. That means a ride for me, and that usually means a trip to my favorite place. Not today, though. We didn't drive for long when he parked and did NOT give me a treat when he got out. Let me tell you, I let him know about that! And can you believe, HE IGNORED ME! He wasn't inside the place very long at all, so I didn't even have time to nose around the truck. It smelled like he had food in there earlier in the day, but none of it got brought home to me so it did me no good. He got back in and pretty much just moved the truck to a different spot and then got back out. This time, I was able to see him the whole time. This is where the trip got a little odd. This place had huge piles of dirt all over, and Daddy went over and put some dirt into white bags. Ah Ha! This is where they came from! Now, I still don't understand why this dirt is any different than the dirt we already had at home, but hey, if it makes him happy, I'll deal with a little strangeness.
Back home we went, and I got put inside again. It was getting warm outside, so Daddy closed up the windows and doors and then went back to his strange little routine: do things in back, then go and get a bag of dirt, and then do more things in back. I watched for a little while, but then got bored and went in for a nap. Quite a while later, he came in (smelling like that different dirt) and went and stood in the water for a while. That was odd. He usually only does that right when we get up, or when he cuts the grass (which is weird all by itself, but he seems to do that every week.)
After he got dressed again, he talked on the phone and then we went for another ride. Two rides in a day... must be something going on. We went to a food place, but not my favorite one. We went to the one that stubbornly refuses to even look at me, let alone give me a treat. We weren't back home long before the doorbell rang. I ran to see who it was. When Daddy opened the door, there was Mommy!!! I was sooo excited I gave her kisses and ran around and gave her more kisses! I am happy to say that I have just gotten up from a nap with all three of us on the bed. Now it's time to see all the stuff that Mommy brought in with her. Most of it smells like her regular old stuff (that strange blue thing is back) but some of it is very new and needs a good smelling.

No Mommy, but I got in Trouble
I wanted to write yesterday, but I got into trouble. About the middle of the day, Daddy took me outside and told me that I should do my business. Well, I squatted, but then I got distracted by some bugs, and then I smelled something different and had to follow that, but that just led to more bugs. I think Daddy was in a bad mood or something, because we didn't stay out long. Daddy gave me peanut butter, and then he left.
I tried to be a good girl. I really tried! I had to make a pile sooo bad, and I just couldn't hold it any longer. Well, when Daddy got home he yelled at me. A Lot. He also would not let me on the computer to do my post. I think he's still a little mad at me, but things are slowly getting better. Except for still no Mommy.
Where IS she? Why did she leave? We went for a walk this morning and I couldn't even smell her anymore. Well, ok, I could smell her, I AM a Beagle... helloooo... one of the best dog noses... but it was the same old smells from when she left. This is getting depressing. Life seems to go on here without her, but it isn't the same. I think even Daddy misses her. He has been moving around more when he sleeps since she left.
Well, it's time for my afternoon nap. I suppose that tomorrow will be yet another day without her.
