Last night was so much fun! Papa Clyde retired, so there was a little party for him at Great Grandma Mattie’s house. There’s lots of room to run and play there, so Mommy and Daddy let me go, too. I got to play with the other doggy, Bear, who lives there, too, and Mommy even let me eat some of the food. She gave me some turkey and ham, so I could celebrate, too.  I had so much fun, and I got so tired from running I had to take a nap before we left.

After that we rode into town so I could enjoy the car ride a bit more. Little sister sat in her seat, and Daddy buckled me in the seat next to her. It’s so much fun riding around with little sister. We were going to go by the new pet store in town to see when it’s open, but it was gone! It was only there for about 2 months before it shut down. I hope whoever rents that building starts checking business credit reports before he rents it again.

There have been a lot of places open up in that place over the last year, and none of them have lasted more than a couple months. Mommy said that’s not even time to see how business is going to be. That place is in the busy part of town, too, so Mommy thought the pet store would last. I’m sad because I wanted a new toy, but Mommy promised to go to another pet store tomorrow to get me one. I guess that makes it all better.
