Day 63

Wow, it sure has been busy on the Island. We woke up before the sun as usual, though I swear it is a weekend day and maybe we should get to sleep in or something. We went on a nice tour, but it was very cold and really really windy. After our walk the Captain ran around the house running the hair sucking thing that makes noise and spraying the stuff that makes me sneeze on the counters and then wiping it off--please tell me the point in that. Maybe she was just trying to warm back up or something. After cleaning she left for a while and came back really smelly and seemed tired. Her cheeks were really rosy from the wind I think so I gave her kisses on them.

Just about the time when the sun was going down and I was getting ready to relax with my Captain the way we used to on Sunday nights with Papa, people starting knocking on the door. First our old friend Eileen showed up. She had on a big puffy coat and boots so she went on a tour with us. It seems she lives on a really cold Island too, though she used to live here on this Island, and she is used to the cold. In total, my Captain's friends Anne, Jason, Eileen, and Kelly all came over and Captain put on her football jersey. Thank goodness she didn't make me wear mine again. They made food that smelled good and drank that red stuff in the tall glasses that makes them laugh a lot. Anne, who seems to think my name is Ewe and not Otis, even almost touched me--something she has never really done. They cheered and the Captain yelled some bad words at the tv. I only hear her yell those when I try to catch vermin. She seemed pretty angry about the football game. Which I don't get, aren't Saint's good? Isn't it bad luck to curse saints? Anyway, I was so tired because they all stayed way past our bed time. I even shoved Kelly out of the way so I could lay in my Captain's lap. Kelly didn't seem to mind, but I heard her call me a dog. I don't know what that is, I wonder if she has me confused with some other four legged creature. After Kelly and Eileen left, Jason and Anne stayed and slept in the guest room. I walked back and forth checking on Anne just to be sure she didn't want to pet me. I think she had a belly ache and whenever the Captain has one she feels better when she pets me. Instead, the Captain made me stay in our room. I was so tired I went and layed on my bed and fell asleep even though I could hear Anne making noise.
