Oh, Nooooooo

I can't believe that Denise brought in another puppy. She named him Max. He's cute, but he's a PUPPY! I hate puppies. I thought I was rid of puppies when they gave all mine away. At least he has to stay outside though. I have to be with him all day, but the weekends I get to stay inside. It's not too bad outside though. I catch him and Sugar out of the doghouse and I get in and won't let them back in.

Good news, though. Denise sold two of her sheep. At least she won't be bringing them back home. And she still hasn't made a felted dog. Do you think maybe she's mixed up and brings me real dogs. Boy, I wish she could understand me. People can be so dumb.

Sunday

This is a nice day. Carl & Denise are both home and stayed outside with us for a long time. Then Denise let us back in the house. It's nice to get back into the house during the day. We usually have to stay outside--EVEN DURING STORMS. I hate storms. All the booming and light flashes are scary. But today they are here, we're in the house and the weather is beautiful. Maybe I should go outside.

Outside!

They have put up a fence around the back yard and make us stay there ALL DAY! Denise is gone to her new Owl Tree Gallery in Lenoir City and when we go out in the morning we never get back in. I'm learning to hold it all day so I can stay in where it's cool. I protested by pooping in the dining room and kitchen when they came home, but they got mad about that, so I quit. Now Denise is the last one to get home and we have to wait to eat till Carl gets home. AND STILL NO FELTED DOGS. You would think that she would at least make me a felted dog. She knows how much I hate hot weather. At least she combed me out today and makes sure I have plenty of water.

ball

I can't believe that Denise made Sugar a ball.  Since Sugar wouldn't leave her wool alone, Denise took a big wad of wool and put it in water and used some soap and felted it into a ball.  THEN she GAVE it to SUGAR!  And she won't even make me a felted dog.  I just may have to chew on her ankle a little.

Sugar Dog

Boy, Sugar has been getting in trouble lately.  It's been bad.  I always feel guilty and have to go to bed and hope they don't notice me when they fuss at Sugar.  Sugar doesn't feel too bad, though.  She still does what they don't want her to do until she FINALLY understands.  Lately she's been chewing on Denise's wool.  I don't understand why she wants to chew on it.  Wool is what the stoopid animals are felted from.  Well, if Denise won't felt a dog, maybe Sugar will.

pigs, yucko.

 Somebody bought the little stinky pig.  At least Denise won't be bringing it home.  The bad news is that the big stinky pig is still in the shop.  The shop is in Norris--the Appalachian Arts Craft Center.  GO BUY IT so Denise doesn't bring it home.  Ever.  She still hasn't made a dog.  

On a happier note, she did send my photo to her friend in India and he sent back a crayon drawing of me.  It looks just like me--it's beautiful.  He also sent a picture of his school bus.  If you would like a friend like Arip, you can go here http://www.compassion.com/ and sign up for one.

I have sad news.  Ernie died.  I miss him and so does Denise.  Denise is extra sad too because her friend Peggy died too.  Peggy is the person who the skunk is named after.  She was a special lady.  I didn't meet her, but I smelled her shop when I went to work with Denise once.  It smelled nice.  Like wool and clay.  

Another thing happened.  I heard Denise and Carl talking about some guy that went into the Wall of Greens with a gun and stole some drugs.  Sarah was in the back and missed it, but it was scary.I don't know what a Wall of Greens is, but it must be a scary place.  I hear my people talking about   the weird people who come in there.  I don't ever want to go there.

Denise went to Sunday Night Live tonight and came home with an Easter card from Dakota.  He colored it himself.  It looked like a live egg on it.  I like it.  I've got to go to SNL sometime.
