have you ever seen

have you ever seen a canadia goose?

because my mama and me we saw TWO at the park today and she says they are birds but i don't think so because they are as BIG as ANIMALS

also they honk!

and i don't know if you know this but we are moving to canadia which is a decision we made before i knew about their crazy gooses

i just don't know about this at all

today i got a letter

today i got a letter from my friend easter who went to live with my auntie shelia's family:

Hey Daisy,

It's me, Easter.  Just wanted to let you know that I am doing fine.  I have new peoples now.    They are okay. The boy named Noah doesn't like to get licked.  He says I am a ghetto dog because I do drive by licks.  Someone keeps filling in the holes that I am digging so that I can escape.  I think it is the boy.  I'm going to the home of some guy named Granddad tomorrow.  They says I'll live with him forever.  The momma of this house says they were just offering a temporary shelter, so I has to go to my new home.  Okay more later.  The girl who lives here is coming, and I am in her room.

Deuces

my mama says easter is going to go live on granddad's farm which is a real farm with cows and not a figurative farm with dead people

and maybe one day i can visit

sunday night

sunday night is our new book club night me and easter

mama's selling a bunch of books before we move to canada and we decided to check some out

A Conspiracy of Paper by David Liss we only got about halfway through but Period by Dennis Cooper we ate cover to cover

and then we pooped inside

easter and me

easter and me we have taken Escaping to a whole new level

it's called Going Feral!

mama is not a fan

so me and my friend easter

so me and my friend easter we were napping but then something cool happened over there



and i was like wake up let's go over there and she was like whaaaa?



and then she went back to sleep



and i was like come ON i'm sticking my nose in your ear wake UP



but then i just went over there myself because life's too short and she is lazy


epilogue:


then when i was ready for more nap who knows where she went that silly easter i missed her

there's this other dog

there's this other dog who is staying with us because she lost her peoples on easter and we have to find them



and it's pretty cool especially now that she is getting better at Bite Each Other In The Face

but here's the thing

i will share my food

i will share my bed

i will share my treats for coming and sitting and down

i will share my stick

i will share my walk

i will share my chewy things even though sometimes i need both of them

i will share my mama and my papa

but i will NOT share my mama's first thing in the morning kisses

they are MINE

sometimes

sometimes vacations can be exhausting

like this past weekend for example when we went to crossett so my mama and my papa could see their new niece penny and i could see my cousins blizzie and max and noonan

in crossett there are no inside dogs so i have to stay out back with noonan which is only fun for a little while and then everybody goes away and it starts raining and it's cold and muddy and nighttime and no one knows where i am no matter how much i bark

so sometimes i have to escape

and so mama and papa say ok daisy mae you don't have to sleep in the rain and they take me to a strange vet's that smells like being scared and leave me with ladies who put me in a closet in the way back and don't play with me or talk to me or let me go to the bathroom enough so i have to try and escape which doesn't even work except to scrape up my nose

and they tell me that i'm spoiled rotten which means we're not giving you any of the treats your mama left with you

and it seems like mama and papa are never coming back but then they do and they let me chase blizzie and the cows and that's better

mama calls that awful place cultural dissonance

i call it misery

she says sometimes it's good to be out of your element which means it's nice to know how good it feels to be your normal self
