Back to Work

Mandy left yesterday. She was careful not to say the “W” word, but I know that’s where she went. She got dressed and acted like she was going to work, even if she wouldn’t tell us that’s where she was going. We told Mandy she could not go, and she didn’t even acknowledge our demand. To show her our displeasure, we hid and did not say Good-bye to her. To disobey such a command, is a fate far worse than being ignored. When she came home we ignored her some more. But poor Mandy needed some loving, so I gave in and forgave her for ignoring our command. I was sweet to Mandy because she needed some cuddles.

So we have always hated having company over, but we recently had some company, and I actually had fun. All day while Mandy was cleaning she let us play outside. We had so much fun, and we spent most of the day by the big tub. Mandy even went in the big tub late in the day. We gave up nap time to protect Mandy from the bugs and frogs while she was in the big tub. Then when the company came over, I came out and saw them all on my own. They were fairly quiet, and I was curious what Mandy and Sam were doing with the new people. After dinner, the ladies sat outside by the big tub, and Mandy opened our window and I played outside. Mandy even woke Peyton up, and he came out too. The company didn’t bother us while we played. I had fun running along the screen and chasing bugs. One of the nice ladies offered to let me lick out her bowl. I thought about it long and hard, it looked yummy and smelled good, but I did not take her up on her offer. I do not know her. Maybe if she comes over again I will get to know her better, and then I will lick out her bowl. If all company is this friendly, I might get use to it.

I’m not sure what will happen today, but I’m hoping Mandy will let us play by the big tub again. I love to be outside by the big tub. It is lots of fun.
