Day 33

I knew I was being tested today. I was sad that the Captain went back to work, but I was determined to make her proud. She left before the sun came up with her big blue bag, told me I'd see a lot of the ferry drivers, and put me in my metal house. I just knew I would get to stay out later though so I was good and didn't mess anything up. The ferry drivers came and I got lots of good walks with my friends, I was not sure when the test would begin so I stayed in heel with my new harness the whole time. I enjoyed seeing Mia again and Nesta's mama the queen ferry driver. Sure enough, the ferry driver left my gate unlocked. I was so good and didn't move anything or toss any of the rugs around. The ferry driver left Captain a note saying so and brought a little puppy with her when she came back. We went on a walk in the place that is green with the big upright stones all over the place and the pond in the middle, Captain says it is where people go when they die and that she likes running there (especially with my Papa). We played inside for a little while too and I shared my toys and bones with the puppy. Captain came home later and hugged and kissed me and let me have any of the food she dropped on the floor while she prepared herself quiet an elaborate meal (I noticed spaghetti, squash, this weird purple vegetable, onions and a separate dish of greens and this red tasty round thing that left Captain's fingers red). She seemed pretty proud of herself as she was eating it and I am glad she is a little messy while cooking.
