This morning I was curled up on the couch with Mommy watching a show about dog shows, and I just had to wonder…why hasn’t Mommy ever put me in a dog show?  I can strut my stuff just like all those other dogs!

Then I thought about how I blew the competition away in the vet’s Halloween costume contest 2 years in a row.  Maybe Mommy knows I’d run all over the competition.  Daddy would have to build a whole bunch of shelves just to hold all my trophies! I’m sure you’re rolling your eyes at me, but I don’t care. I’m BEA-U-TI-FUL inside and out!

Mom is stomping around here in a bad mood today.  I don’t know if it’s because she stayed up way too late last night, or if it’s because she just found out the Clemson game next week will kickoff at noon.  She has been planning lil sister’s birthday party, and it’s set for 12-2pm because most of the games have been after 3:30.  She just found out the game is going to be right in the middle of the party!

The party is going to be at the park across the road from MomMom and PopPop’s house, so I heard Mom ask Dad if she could get away with buying a huge cable line and running it to a TV at the party.  She’s so silly!  That’s like the time she wanted to get one of those lcd projectors so they could project movies on the back of the barn. Yeah, Dad didn’t give into that one either.

I’m sure she’ll just end up setting the DVR, but which Mom in a bad mood I think I’m going to hide out for the rest of the day. I don’t feel like getting yelled at or accidentally booted across the room because she was too ill to pay attention to where she was going!

I know I’ve been slack, and I never got a chance to tell you Alley is okay.  Well I mean his foot is fine, and he just had a hang nail.  I’m not sure he’ll ever really be “okay” ya know?  I think he’s sniffed a little too much catnip for that!

Anywho, I guess his foot still hurts because he hasn’t been very active lately.  Whenever I try to play he doesn’t want to be bothered.  I’m starting to get a bit lonely over here!  Maybe Mommy should let me use her gamestop coupons to order one of those pet games for the Wii. Maybe if I had my own virtual pet I’d have somebody to play with when Alley doesn’t want to play.

I’ve got little sister to play with, too, but she’s going through a mean phase.  I’d rather play with a fake pet than with a mean 2 year old!

We’ve got a kitteh emergency going on in the house, and I hope Alley is going to be okay.  Mommy and I walked into the bathroom and saw bloody kitteh paw prints everywhere.  Mommy immediately freaked out and went in search of Alley to see what’s wrong.  She searched him all over, and finally she found his back paw bleeding.  Mommy tried to inspect it, but Alley is being stubborn and won’t let her get much of a look.  He let her keep pressure on it for a few minutes, but it didn’t stop.  She loaded him up and sent Daddy off to the emergency vet with him.

Mommy says she doesn’t know if he snagged a nail or hurt it somehow.  Last night she dropped a glass in the kitchen and broke it, but she was careful to vacuum up all the glass before any of us furkids or Ellie wandered into the kitchen and got glass on them.  Now she thinks maybe she missed a sliver and Alley stepped on it.  We’re waiting by the phone for Daddy’s call to tell us what’s going on!  I hope he’s going to be okay!

I has a sad.  Yep, I really do.  I feel so lonely tonight because I’ve hardly got to play with my people at all today.  I’ve been overdue for my dose of Promeris (it works for me, so don’t hate) because Mommy normally puts it on me outside.  With all the rain and nasty days lately Mommy hasn’t had a chance to put it on me, and my skin has been getting really itchy from the demodectic mange popping back up.  The Promeris is the only thing that has ever really worked to control it, so if I miss a dose the postules come back and make me feel bad.

Mommy was going to put it on me last week, but she got sick.  Today was the first day she was feeling good enough to take me outside for a bath, so I got my bath, got dry, and got my Promeris.  Usually I stay outside after I get my dose (but where Mommy can keep an eye on me through the window) because the smell is really strong and Mommy doesn’t want me around little sister when I get my medicine.  Today a pop up shower came right after I got it, so Mommy had to quarantine me in utility room all by myself.  It really really sucked because it gets so lonely out there.  One of Daddy’s old gaming desktops is out there, but I couldn’t even get online because it won’t turn on. Mommy said the power supply went bad, and she’s got to replace it.

I ended up sleeping most of the day, and now that little sister is in bed I’ve got all this energy that I need to work off. Daddy took me outside and I ran in circles for a bit. Then I came inside and ran in circles around the table. Then I decided to get on the computer while Mommy wasn’t using it, and then I think I might go run in circles some more! I’m glad I got my medicine because it makes me feel better, but I slept so much today that now I’m bouncing off the wall! AHHH!
