Together Again

Mom came home today. I don't know where she's been over the last several darknesses but she came back this morning in the sky-falling water. It's very exciting but, since I'm now a grown-up, I don't jump up and down and pee whenever Mom or Dad comes back from a long time away! I greet them with a calm, mature lick on the nose and then it's back to business as usual.

Lots of sky-falling water today. Ever since the darkness ended, in fact. It may even have been falling while I slept but I was pretty tired so I didn't notice it. Now that we're all back together as a family things will get back to normal, I guess.

I kind of enjoyed having just Dad to take care of. He spent an awful lot of time with me and we went for four (count'em, four!) walks every day. First thing after I woke up, we went through the neighbourhood. Then in the middle of the day, we went out to the big area of trees for a run. Chased long-eared, cotton-tailed four-leggers through the trees then! They're fast little four-leggers! Then as the darkness started to come back, we'd go out to the other big treed area (the one with fields too) and we'd play ball for an hour. And finally, just when I'm getting ready to go back to sleep, out we'd go into the heart of the darkness for another long walk along the streets!

So great. I think I'm slimmer now than I was a week ago. Certainly I can run faster! Not fast enough to catch the long-ears but still pretty quick.

Anyway, so Mom's home and it's nice to see her. She looks great, even if she claims she's not feeling well. I think all she needs is a long dose of her puppy and then she'll be fine!
