What a Day!

Yesterday was strange. It all started in the morning. Things were moving along as normal, but then they started to get odd. Daddy made a treat for me like he was leaving. For me, this is instantly something to be considered. Daddy stays home with me now, so why would he leave? Sure enough, out the door he went with Mommy and there I stood, treat in my mouth wondering what was going on. I settled in to have some peanut butter and wait for him to come back. After a while, I got tired of waiting by the door and looked out of the windows... no Daddy. What the heck? When I got tired of waiting by the other door, I went and sulked under the bed. It's my safe spot where I go when I am in trouble or tired of waiting or sad.

A long while later, Daddy came home. You'd think that I would be happy, and I was at first, but then I got closer. DADDY SMELLED LIKE ANOTHER DOG!!! And not just 1 dog, but 4 DOGS!!! I too my time smelling him all over. It certainly cooled my response to him being home, but I was glad to have him home anyway. After that, things were better. He sat down at the computer and started playing a game. Not work, but it's still the same thing to me... sitting in the chair ignoring me. About lunchtime we went for a walk, which was nice since I didn't get one in the morning. Well, it was a short walk, like it was morning, and I was not happy about that. Then, we come back home and he puts my collar on me. I'm thinking, "food run!" Yes indeed, we get in the truck and head out. The truck was HOT inside, but he put the wind on me and that started feeling better. More bad then, because we went to the place that doesn't even care that I am in the truck and waiting for My order, let alone his. Well, Daddy gave me a treat, but I wanted one from the window and it just didn't happen. I think this is because there is only one window at this place and not two like at the other place. So, back home we go.

No, not back home we go. He started driving, and eating, and driving more. We drove a long time, and I had to sit there and smell all of that food, and then all of the food was gone (and not a scrap left for me) and all I could do was lay there and wait. FINALLY we stopped, but Daddy was talking on the phone. Well, talk about surprised, we were at Mommy's school! Cool! I get to see Mommy! I was all wiggles and grins, but then things went different Again. There were kids in the room, and I mean a LOT of them. All wanting to touch me at once, and all I wanted to do was smell around (somebody had put something that smelled Really Good somewhere) and my other usual things when I come out there, but no. Sit on the table. Let the kid pet me. Eat a treat here and there (ok, so that was a good part, but still, what I had to endure to get those treats...) and just sit there. Finally, Daddy let me down and we went outside. Lots to smell, and at least I get to see all of the kids that make those smells. After a short time outside (and I do mean short) we went back inside. Daddy and I went over my Mommy's little room (she says office) and I got to lay down for a while without the kids being all over me. Oh, they still came over, one or two at at a time, but it was at least a break from the mob.

Finally, all of the kids left, but then so did Mommy! Daddy let me walk all around the room and smell whatever I wanted. There was something very interesting in a box, but I couldn't get into it. After a few minutes, Daddy and I got back into the truck (no Mommy) and started the long drive home. It was good to be home to my nice quiet house. Funny thing is, when Mommy got home I wasn't as excited to see her as I normally am. I mean, I had just seen her a little while before, so it wasn't like she had been gone all day.

Anyway, I slept good last night, and today I am back into my normal routine. I think tonight is the night that Mommy is usually out very late, but after all of the excitement yesterday, I'm not sure. I guess there's nothing to do but take a nap and see.
