Mom was here this weekend. That was fun. She pet me a lot and gave me treats. It kind of wasn't great all the time though, cause I usually get my own couch, and Dad gets his, but when Mom is around, I have to sleep on the floor. I was happy that there was finally food in the house though, its been getting kind of depressing watching Dad eat that vegetarian sloppy joe stuff and fruit all the time. I think she left again. She had a big bag out and Dad drove away with her and came back alone. I don't really know where she goes, but I guess I am kind of getting used to it. Its just sad because it is super hot, and no one takes me for walks anymore. Dad tries to play fetch with me, but I usually just roll in that new grass that he keeps trying to plant. It's fun for me, because all the grass kind of rolls up and gets on me and stuff and then they have to clean it off me. I have been getting too hot lately though, so I hope that they take me to get shaved soon!

Last night was kind of scary too. Once a year, it is like a war zone around here, all this noise and thinks popping and making crazy sounds, and then there are all these different lights. I don't know why they do it! Plus, to make it worse, last night while all that was going on, it was thundering so badly. I was so scared. And all this after my parents had walked around with these crazy little fire sticks the night before. I swear, you would think they were trying to give me a heart attack. I am getting stressed out just thinking about it. Oooh I think someone is at the door. Gotta go bark now!
