Bosco's back in town

37 days without Joan but today she showed up at Bosco #2's house and picked me up! I knew something was up because Kim took my food and bed outside. I started to get excited. Then someone walked up and I looked to see who it was (tentatively) and I realized it was JOAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started jumping up on her so I could give her face some kisses. I was SOOOOO HAAAPPPPPYYYYYYYY! Bosco #2 was barking a ton and it was chaos for a little bit. Then Kim gave both Bosco and I some treats. Joan was laughing because we were both sitting at attention in the kitchen very quietly while waiting for our treats.

When Joan let me outside I pulled her to the cars so I could find ours and I went into the backseat and waited there - no going back! I'm going with Joan. It was even hot in the car but I didn't care - stay put, I said. Soon enough, Joan was in the car and we returned to my favorite Mpls house. I cleared the yard of all squirrels upon entry and then I saw my favorite neighbor, Tim, who immediately brought over 2 treats for me. I sat for him, too.

In the house there was all this stuff on the floor that Joan was in the process of putting away and then she cleaned a bit and put away clothes upstairs. I just sat and watched her every move. Then we had to leave the house and we hung out at a coffee shop. Joan said it was an "open house" where we get evicted from our own home. She wasn't exactly happy about this as I guess she just returned from some place called Crete and also another place called London. = the reason she has been gone for 37 days!

I really had a great time at Bosco's house. I think Joan and I should get another canine family member. I'm lonely back at the house. I also am not eating my dinner just to tell Joan - don't mess with me.

I'm going to try to get in her bed tonight. Megan, Kim's daughter, let me sleep on her bed ALL THE TIME. I think Joan should do the same.

Too many days?

Now it has been 21 days without Joan.

On Monday, Chris brought me over to Bosco #2's house. I'm with Kim, her daughter and Bosco. I'm getting along well with Bosco - must be his name.

I guess Chris got sick of me because I wasn't too friendly with Mollie, her dog.

I'm still wondering - when will Joan return from that place called England? I want to see what the squirrels are doing in my backyard. I'm sure they have taken over in ways that are inappropriate!

14 days

No Joan. She's still not back.

Last week, I moved from Rachel's house to Chris's house. It is somewhat the same because there is a lady and man (Chris and Jim) and then a little boy (Jack). But they also have a dog (Molly). Well, at first, I thought Molly was okay. We even kissed and slept near each other during the day, me on my bed, Molly on the chair.

But now I don't really like her all that much. So sometimes I growl at her and let her know to give me my space. So then now Chris keeps me in the back of the house and Molly stays in the front. I like that! I get my alone time with Chris and she likes to pet me.

Yesterday the funniest thing happened. I swear I heard Joan's voice, and I got really excited and wagged my tail a lot. I licked where I heard her voice but it was just a small computer like thing and didn't smell or taste like Joan at all. When will she return, I wonder?

In any case, I'm happy right now.
