July 13

Today was pretty special for a Wednesday. Uncle M & Aunt B left verrrrry early this morning and put me in my crate, but they were back a few hours later.  Aunt B was walking really slow and laughing a lot and saying something like, "I love anesthesia! I feel a little drunk and it's only 9:30am!"  I helped Uncle M make the bed for her, but I got a little caught up in the sheets.

Yep, that's me under the covers!

She went upstairs and slept and slept and slept.  Uncle M let me and the cousins out and then two new people came over.  Uncle M called them the "cleaning people" - they picked up all the toys I've shredded and then used their noisy machine to pick up all the good smelly stuff and fur around the house.  I barked at them a little, but mostly I was just disappointed that the house smelled so clean....ick.

Uncle M & I were curling up with Aunt B for a bit.

Afterwards, it was my turn to help Aunt B feel better.  See, we dogs know she was a little tuckered, so we each took turns keeping her company. Isis likes to just lay next to her and get snuggled.  Eleanor kisses her face and then lays on her other side when it's her turn.  As for me, I decided the best idea would be to jump on the bed, stand on her belly and bark.  Eventually, I realized this was not the best idea and instead I curled up at her head and kissed her.  She seemed to really like that and fell asleep with me snugged up against her head. The rest of the day was spent chasing Eleanor around the house, eating and just general laziness.

Sometimes I worry that Cousin Eleanor has a learning disability.
