the bed

the bed is not for puppies

but sometimes if you are very very still

your mama will think you are just a piece of clean laundries

it is my birthdays again

it is my birthdays again except this time i am five

in canadia there is lots of snows on my birthdays

it is not good for pooping but it is very good for playing in and my mama says these activities should be kept separates anyways

i hope you have a happy my birthdays too

mortality

mortality is when even though kitty takes medicines every day for a year she just feels worser and worser

and then one day she goes somewhere where you cannot see her anymore

but you can remember how it smelled to have her close

moving

moving is when you take everythings from where it is supposed to be and put it somewhere else

of all the horriblest things moving is the most horriblest

my mama says it is time to move into a new house so that my mama and my papa and ruby and kitty and me daisy mae are not all right on top of each other all of the times but then how will we know where everybodies is

my mama also says that kitty better stop being senile about the litter box if she thinks she is going to live in the new house with us which is a very silly thing to say because where else is kitty going to live

cottage country

cottage country is a contested territory in canadia that is under siege by chippermonks*

my mama and my papa and ruby and me we all packed up into the car and drove and drove and drove to the cottage which is a very nice house in the woods that needs to be defended against the forces of chippermonks and muskrats and beavers and otters which are a disturbing kind of river squirrel

out here the creatures are all extra cheeky for example those chippermonks will pop right out of this hole and look at you



it is very important when you are at the cottage that nobody relax or let their guards down for even a second and sometimes peoples forget and sit around reading and talking and enjoying the view and then you have to run around barking loudly for a while to remind everybodies that we are on high alert

my mama and my papa worked very hard to get us all out here in the middles of a busy summer so i am working super special hard to make it a success

----------------------
*my mama says this is back-words because it is chippermonk and other cheeky critter country under siege by canadia cottages, she says this is important and write it down daisy mae

i have been very busy

i have been very busy lately with my new job which makes it difficult to find time to write it all down

nannying is when you have to watch the baby all the time to make sure she does not get into any troubles

it is hard work because she is very wiggly and roly poly and frequently surrounded by all these suspicious creatures

for example there was this duck that followed her around in the bath until i finally took care of it once and for all

one time my aunt kathryn came to visit and i could finally have a moment of rest

but it was not a very long moment

raccoon

raccoon is what peoples call that thing by the dumpster that smells like trouble
