A Dog's Life!

Today is a good day.

I got chicken and rice for dinner. Mom said it was for little brother, but he didn't want it so I ate it. She yelled at me and gave him some more. He ate that bowl, so maybe he was hungry. It's really good to be home - I can finally sleep now that my whole family is here.

When little brother was at the hospital, I laid on the bed with Mom & Dad, but I didn't sleep very well. I paced. Wednesday night and last night, I laid on the floor next to the bed and Little Brother slept with Mom & Dad. I think Mommy actually slept last night; all the other nights she kept waking up crying. (She was telling Daddy that she kept seeing "it", but Little Brother turned into a little kid. Why would little brother turn into a little kid?) She didn't cry last night, so that has to be good, right?

Oh, I had the most fun ever on Tuesday night. I got to stay at Puggles and Benji's house. I met cats for the first time (I don't think they liked me much, but I thought they were okay) and had all kinds of new doggie treats, and we went to the park early Wednesday morning, and Puggles and Benji let me be part of their pack. I hope I get to go on vacation again - or maybe someone will come on vacation to our house. That would be a lot of fun!

Well, I hope I get to play with all of you at the park soon. I think it will be just me, though. Dad doesn't seem to want Little Brother to play. I don't know why - maybe it's that thing on his head. I think it's funny looking, but it scared Benji when they came to pick me up. Maybe it's not a good thing to play with?

My little brother is okay!

He was really sick when he went away on Sunday night. Mom and Dad and I took little brother to the doctor, and when they picked me up to go home, he didn't come with us. I was scared. I kept looking for him, but he wasn't here. I was afraid he wasn't going to come home ever.

Today when Mom came home from work, little brother was with her. I sniffed him and kissed him and he sniffed me and kissed me. Mom wouldn't let us play, though. She said that it could make little brother sick, so I was a good boy and just cuddled him.

But, I'm a lucky boy. I got to go on vacation. Mom took me to meet Puggles and Benji at the dog park, and I'm going to go home and stay at their house overnight. I'll probably come home to stay tomorrow, but Mom & Dad thought that it would be better if Succotash had a really quiet night tonight. So, he gets all of the cuddles and I get all the fun. Yay!
