Worry. Vacation. Relief.

Guys! Mom and Dad left us! Can you even believe your ears? It’s been like 3 days. Zuc and I love our Uncle Luke and his girlfriend Emily but they are not our Mom and Dad. On Sunday when Mom got home she, Dad, grandmom and grandpup packed some bags. Naturally Zuc and I got all hyped up excited because we get to go everywhere but then they said those dreaded words: “you’re staying”. It has never been a good day when we hear that. I started to panic. When I panic I have accidents. Brown puddle accidents. Can’t even help it..

Thank goodness for Emily though. She cleaned it all up so Uncle Luke didn’t puke. Then they stayed with us all night. I even got to snuggle up between them like I do with Mom and Dad. Zuc slept in Mom and Dad’s bed to keep a look out in the chance that they got home during the night.

We went to the park the other day and didn’t even play. It was our personal mission to find a way out for search and rescue Mom and Dad. We didn’t get too far.

And then, they came back! Mom was in high spirits and didn’t seem like she hurt too much. Dad spent the next day with us while Mom was at work. As soon as she got home we ALL got in the car and went for a ride to other grandmom and grandpup’s house!

Sleep. Bark. Hike.

I know I haven’t been on in a while but Mom started a new job.. again. This time she’s working 12 hour night shifts. Seriously. The woman is insane. But now either her or dad is home ALL THE TIME! I loooove it. Except when they should be home but go out together without us. Like why, why wouldn’t you bring us every single place you go ever?! I live for walks and car rides!

Speaking of walks and car rides, we got to go on one the other day! We went to this place called the Erie Canal and walked along this awesome long water. So many fish and birds and sticks! I tried to jump in a few times but Mom was seriously against it. I wanted to keep coming back so I listened like a good girl.

And speaking of being a good girl: Mom sleeps during the day now. Like allll day. Well I, being the good girl I am, cuddle right up next to her in bed and sleep my days away. Sometimes I get bored so I’ll go out in the living room and watch the field but I’m always quiet. Zuc on the other hand enjoys barking at stuff and pissing mom off. She gets upset so I bark and then nobody is happy! That’s when we stop and sleep again. It’s a weird life but we’re adjusting!

GUESS WHAT!!

Mom has been feeling so much better lately that we’ve been going on walks everyday plus I get to play soccer in the backyard with her after dinner! The soccer ball is my favorite ball out of all of the balls I have! We do cool tricks where mom boosts it up in the air and I volley it with my nose. Mom and dad get so excited over that. The one I like most is when mom tries to dribble it passed me but I stop her. I can read her body like a book, she doesn’t stand a chance. I love love love playing soccer! Zuc always gets upset because he just doesn’t seem to get it. He only ever wants to wrestle. How in the world do you want to wrestle when there is a soccer ball in the yard!?

This ball is MINE!

Anyway, I still give mom annoyed faces because we basically wake up, go for a walk, do yoga, and then she sits down with like a million envelopes (which taste pretty good) and writes on them and puts little stickers in the corners. She’s been doing this ALL WEEK. Oh, and then after she does that for what seems like eternity she goes and falls asleep, sometimes with envelopes in her hands still! For like two or three hours at a time! That’s why she gets annoyed faces. I think she brings us outside for soccer to make up for sleeping so much. At least they work for something. She’s always slept a lot but never this much. It’s actually kind of strange now that I think about it. She is narcoleptic but she takes medicines that prevent her falling asleep like that. We also get tons of sleep at night. Bedtime is around 9 and then we wake up at 5 to help dad get ready for work but then we sleep in until like 8. That’s a lot of sleep for a human, right? Well, whatever is wrong with her it can’t be too bad because at least she’s playing soccer with us again!

The millions of envelopes that are tasty- even though mom says no..

IT’S FRIDAY! AH-WOOO WE’RE SO EXCITED!! (Dad gets to stay home tomorrow!)
