'Splainin' The Weekend

Mondays are so depressing for me. Mom gets out of bed at 6:00 AM, just when I'm getting used to our sleeping later. Of course, I usually need to potty and eat by then, so I guess that's not too bad. Good news is Daddy has a harder time getting out of bed than Mom, so I get curl up in bed with him after I eat my breakfast.

I decided to stay in bed this morning after Mom and Dad left for work. Mom gave me a choice of stay outside or come inside after I pooped, and I was glad to go back inside the house. I'm not ready to start my week yet, just because my Mom and Daddy have to. It would be better if at least one of them could stay home and cuddle with me.

Yesterday was Dad's birthday, so Mom had me take his card to him.

I always like to be a good helper. I especially like to do the dishes.

I got my neoprene vest that I'm supposed to wear when we go fishing next month, last week. It's pretty enough, I guess, but I'm still not sure about wearing it. Mom says I'm going to have to wear it a lot at night so I won't try to bite it off anymore. She got some waders too, and they're a little scary. She chased me around the house with them some, and I didn't like it a bit.


Since yesterday was Daddy's birthday, he talked on the phone a lot. I heard him talking to my Uncle Boone, so I had to talk to him too. Daddy held the phone up for me, and I put my ear right up to it. When I heard Uncle Boone, I just smiled, wagged my tail, and tried to touch him. Mom tried to get a picture, but was too slow.
