Day 62

What a crazy weekend. I swear sometimes the Captain just runs around like my headless gal Henrietta (you know, a chicken with its head cut off. . . ). We woke up at 5:30 like during the week to tour the Island. Man, what happened to the days when my papa was here and I could at least sleep in one day a week? We had a nice breakfast and she tried to talk to Papa, but couldn't because of rain in Iraq. Must be like snow in the Island of DC where they panic when it snows and don't know what to do like we do on this Island. Anyway, she left in clothes that smelled bad, I don't think she washed her running jacket or something, but I really hope she didn't run too close to anyone. She came back after only an hour or so (she said something about a race tomorrow) and took one of those really cold baths that make her squeal. I came and sat with her while she soaked. Then, she got ready here and did her hair and stuff--something I haven't seen in a while, I think she must shower somewhere else most of the time. She was humming and happy so it must have been nice to get ready here. Sadly, she left again, this time with Ely's mama (I think she has a baby in her belly cuz it is big now). When she got back we played games in the parking area and I could tell a little bit of white stuff fell, but it was only in a couple of areas and hardly anything. Too bad.

Then, the woman left again! She came home this time with more of those jars of stuff she keeps putting on the walls in different colors and some good smelling food. She also had some tug of war toys that I saw and that she put on the counter while she talked to papa on the box. I got up with my paw on the counter to investigate and swore I heard them both yell at me. GEEZ. It was for me for crying out loud. After talking to my papa and ignoring me, we did finally play tug of war. Then, the crazy woman left again with a big pot of food saying she was going to a ban quit. What the heck is a ban and why did it quit? She came home with a metal that said second place (she said it was for some race series she did).

When she came home we went for a walk and a ferry I recognized went by and the lady was talking to us. I tried to get in the ferry through the window, but it was a big ferry and I couldn't make it. The ferry turned around and just as I was getting mad that the tour was ending too early, the ferry parked and our friend Kathey joined us for a nice tour of the Island. She came back for a little while and we all had those nice white things Captain calls marshmallows. They had theirs in a drink, but threw me mine to catch.

Once Kathey left, Captain painted more colors on the wall while I played with my new toys. After, I was so tired I didn't even want dinner and I went downstairs to my thick bed to go to sleep.
