I think Wooly has finally lost his mind.

Dad is wondering what in the world is wrong with Wooly. He won’t go down to the computer room with dad lately, and he won’t go to bed when dad goes. That is so strange. Usually, Wooly stays with dad 24 hours a day and seven days a week, except when he needs to go outside and then mom takes him.

Wooly seems to be eating all right, and he isn’t unusually grumpy; that is to say, Wooly is just being Wooly. Maybe dad yelled at him or something, but I don’t think so. The only time dad yells at us is when we are barking when he is on the phone or watching television. And, he only has to threaten us once or twice, and then we shut up. When he yells, we think he is barking with us; that’s why we don’t quit barking.

Mom, on the other hand, just whispers “sssssssssssshhhh” and we usually quit barking. Mom won’t bark with us, so it’s really not much fun and that’s why we quit.

Well, I guess Wooly will stop being mad at dad some day, but not today; maybe tomorrow.

Kasha was being a pain today. She didn’t want to do anything. She wouldn’t go outside and play with me or Hilde. Wooly was still upset about his teeth and so was still cranky. Last night he was very sleepy and did not even try to eat his rice. He was really upset when he couldn’t chew his Milkbones, and all he did was growl at me when I ate mine in front of him. Hey, it’s not my fault mom made him go, and now he has a sore mouth. But, boy, you should have been around when he tried to bite that bone. He doesn’t scare me though; he’s mostly all bark and no bite–no pun intended (hee hee).

     Wooly had to get his teeth cleaned today. I sure am glad it’s not me. Mom took him early this morning, so I just slept until she got back. Maybe I’ll go with her this afternoon when she picks him up from the vet. I doubt it, though, it is still very windy and a little on the coolish side for me. Hilde looked and looked for Wooly this morning; she hadn’t groomed him yet. She does that every morning–beats me why. When I try it, all I get is a mouthful of hair. She probably knows something I don’t. She is a lot older than I am, you know.

     I did not do very much today. I kinda watched all the dogs do their thing, and it was boring.
     My mom was sick today, and she stayed in bed almost all day. I, of course, stayed with her all the time, well, except for the times I had to go outside. And, would you believe it, I couldn’t find a bit of privacy today. Mom always makes sure I can be by myself for at least five minutes, but Wooly would not go away. Every time I turned around, there he was–watching. I finally gave up and went back in the house. Maybe mom will take me out later if she’s feeling better. Gracious, what a day!
