Day 79

I believe I said it yesterday, but whew, Captain and I are exhausted. I think I am even more exhausted than her because as I write this she is still going. Luckily we slept late this morning--later than we have slept since my Papa left--we got up at 7 and went on a tour quickly because I think those me were coming back before 8. I was right, soon after having my breakfast I was ushered into the garage where I took on my diligent watch from yesterday. I think there were even more people in the house today than yesterday, but it was hard to tell from the garage since I could hear them more often than I saw them.

Today when my ferry driver came to visit, she suddenly appeared at the large opening to the garage. I don't know how she made that door go open, but it was like magic and I was really excited to see her. I jumped around and around, but Captain made me behave because she put so much stuff in the garage from the house that it is hard for me to move around without bumping something. I walked with a little guy from Pug Island and he walked under my front feet for a lot of the walk looking up at me the whole time. He is a funny little guy.

After the men left, I heard the car leave too, but Captain was back after a while and took me on another tour before the rain or snow comes that she told me about. She warned me that if it is rain especially that I better get used to getting dried off even more because she is "not going to all this work and money for you to muddy my pretty walls." Geez, I don't do it on purpose!!! She is so picky sometimes. She made us both a nice dinner and then kept going up and down the stairs with stuff in her hands from the second floor. I could tell her legs were tired from her two runs today but she just kept humming and singing to herself while she worked. She is funny like that. She carried everything that was not furniture down to the garage and I got in some trouble when I raced her down the stairs when she had the convection oven in her hands. Opps, I was just trying to show her the way to my metal house. Then, she did some laundry too and was pressing those long white things that cover the windows in our bedroom when I finally gave up and got on the couch for bed. I snored while she continued to iron and then clean the shutters for the room where the guests sleep. Arg, just as I thought she was done I heard her moving a bunch of fancy glass stuff into the dish cleaning machine since there was no where else safe to put it. Finally, she got into her air-filled bed next to me and I bet she falls asleep within 1 minute. . .
