Day 66

Captain kept waking up all night last night so I left my little round bed for a different one, it is nice to have several options around the house. When she woke up, I heard her talking to my Papa and got all excited. For just a minute I thought maybe he was here. Alas, no, but at least the Captain stayed home again with me. We kept looking out the window waiting for the white stuff, but it really never came.

For a little while it did come and was very wet. Instead of the ferry drivers, my Captain took me on a long walk and I was super good. I did not lunge at anyone, stayed in heel, and minded her. I think it was a reward, but we came up to a store with lots of smelly cans of the colored stuff she keeps putting on the walls and she actually took me inside with her. All of a sudden I got so excited to be inside that I started smelling everything and jumped up with my front paws on the counter to say hi. Captain didn't seem very happy about it but the people behind the counter thought it was funny. When Captain was trying to give the man some paper green stuff, I jumped up again and sent a can of the stuff Captain uses sliding all the way across the counter. I was really good again on the walk home, just in case she thought I was bad in the store.

I slept on my fuzzy blanket and the top stair the rest of the day only waking when the Captain checked for snow. Captain was worried that I would fall down the stairs. I didn't, and when I did wake up, it was only to eat dinner and cuddle with Captain on the couch while she watched tv and then played some video games like Papa used to. I wonder if when he comes home they will play them together.
