Day 91

I am soo tired. It was a busy day on the Island. I was really sick to my stomach in the middle of the night and Captain jumped out of bed to help me. She is so nice to me when I don't feel well. She pet my head and cleaned up after me (and thanked me for not getting near her new walls when I was sick). Because I was sick and she was so tired because she couldn't go back to sleep like she normally does, we slept in
until 6:30! It was later than usual and felt wonderful, I just stretched out on my little round bed thinking of the days when she used to let me cuddle in her bed with her in the early morning hours. Alas, not any longer. We had a very nice tour and heard little birdies singing in the bushes. Captain reminded me that they are not food and seems to have very bad memories of a Spring when I was a puppy and killed on of those little babies.

Speaking of Spring, as soon as we got home from the tour and had breakfast, Captain springed into action. She kept going in and out of the garage with her hands full of stuff and was spraying stuff that made me sneeze onto items and wiping them down before putting them away. She kept laughing because she said even in a week she forgot about some of the stuff she was finding. Sometimes I heard her say "oh well, Papa won't notice" and then she had a different pile for those items. I think she is going to give them to someone else. I wonder if I should tell him. She spent many hours out in the garage and it looked like she got a lot of the items out of there, but my metal crate still remains.

Captain took a break and took me to the green fenced in area with the diamond shaped area. Today, the diamond shaped area was all squishy and felt great between my toes, but Captain didn't like it when I kept going out into that part of the play area. I would come when she called me, but I did test the "water" so to speak and stood in the middle of the mud pond to see if she would come get me.

Shortly after we got to the play area, I was delighted to see my Nesta girl arrive in her ferry with the Queen and King ferry drivers. The King Dan brought 4 brightly colored balls (well they were bright when he first brought them out) and Nesta and I ran and ran and ran chasing them for an hour. We had a great time while Captain and the ferry drivers talked. It was so nice and sunny out. I was really tired and walked slowly home with Captain eager to rest my dirty paws. Captain made me rest them in the garage while she left for a run and then when she killed back she said "we are going to kill two birds with one cold stone." I quickly understood. She took me outside and sprayed freezing cold water all over both of us and soaped and scrubbed me all up. I was okay until she sprayed my private parts. I grumbled do you know what that feels like just as I realized she does when she takes those really cold baths with the yummy cold cubes in them, but still does she have to make me do it to? My muscles don't hurt so leave me alone. Oh well, at least we suffered together. She spent a lot of time drying me and walking me in the sun before we went back in the house and both took a little nap.

Captain couldn't rest long. Soon she was in the kitchen making it smell really good. The nice two legged woman named Danielle came over from next door (she owns four legged creatures that are missing their fur, I don't know what to make of this). She was really nice and I think she really likes me. We ate and she saved some of her dinner for me even though I think she is carrying a human pup inside her. Captain didn't save any for me, she ate all hers. They had lots of different tubs of cold stuff for dessert, but Captain was super nice and got me a little tub out of the freezer too and let me have it all to myself. We all sat around eating out of our cartons and it was a great way to end the day.

I was eager to cuddle with something to make it the perfect evening. I couldn't find Isabella. I think Captain hid my little Isabella pup somewhere. Instead, I found a new little man bear all dressed for bed and decided he should not be on my Captain's bed but should be on my bed. When she came upstairs, I was caught steeling the little cub and she took him away saying he was hers. Geeze, I just want someone to sleep with me.
