every time my mama takes the broom out she gathers up a Whole Other Cat
a Whole Other Cat is the parts of kitty that are no longer a part of kitty
but they still smell like kitty
when something used to be a part of someone but then it isn't any more because it got stuck under the couch or behind the door and you have to gather it up and make it go away so life can be normal again that is what Julia Kristeva calls abjection
my mama calls it sweeping
they both agree that it is horrific
i do not like it because how does my mama know where kitty ends and a Whole Other Cat begins?
she says when you have been around a while the distinction is pretty obvious but i am not so sure

right now
right now we are having a bleak midwinter
a bleak midwinter is peoples for when your papa goes away to arkansas and it won't stop snowing on you and your mama in canadia and then you are naughty at the dog park so you cannot go there anymore for a little whiles and your mama has to walk you around and around in all the snow and then when you come home she does not cuddle on the couch because she goes out to shovel the walk and that is NOT HOW THINGS WORK so you have to bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and jump up on the door to tell her to come back inside and then when she tries to come back inside she can't come back inside because your jumping "locked the door" which is peoples for your mama has to sit outside in the snow for hours so you have to keep barking at her until a man in a truck comes and drills holes in the door and your mama has to give him all her moneys and then when she is finally back inside she does not even want any kisses
i think the poet christina rossetti said that

snow
snow is when all the smells in the world are buried under the white and the cold
to find them you have to be very clever and dig little holes and put your nose in the holes and sometimes your whole head and kind of snorfle around to see where those smells are hiding
peoples are not so good at snorflings because their noses are too far away from the ground so they have to do shovelings instead and that is not nearly as satisfying
snow makes everything strange for example sometimes it can be very difficult to know where to poop
it makes my mama and my papa a little sad* so i have to work extra hard to make sure everything is okay
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Note from Daisy's mama: Yesterday, my mother-in-law passed away following a sudden and unexpected illness. Daisy Mae, always sensitive to our feelings, has been especially attentive, staying close and licking up lots of tears. I don't know how we'd do this without her.

a special skill
a special skill that i have is being able to do many important things at the same time
it is called puppytasking because peoples cannot do it
i know this because in the evening my mama says no jumping around now daisy we are watching a movie or my papa says please chew on your toy daisy and stop bothering me
as if all of these things could not happen simultaneously
now my mama and me we have a new game called jogging
jogging is a kind of walks in which there is no sniffing no pooping no squirrel-stalking no peeing and no playing with sticks
it is very good for peoples because it is very simple
but it is not so much fun

time
time is peoples for something i do not understand
like sometimes i want to go on my walks and my papa says daisy mae give me some time
and i do not have any
my mama says that is because puppies live in a binary world of happening and not-happening but that peoples have all this stuff in between which is time
time is hard to find because it has no smells but i think it lives in the computer and the teevees
