Day 98

It is STILL raining. Not even just raining, but raining so hard and so much that I dart out to go to the bathroom and just dart back in. I think parts of the Island are washing away. Captain went out for a while and came back telling me that the road near where the mama fox lives is closed and has turned into a big swimming pool. I don't think I like the Island like this. I went out to potty and Captain was telling me to come into the garage, but I couldn't figure out how to get around the puddle in front of it so I stood there frozen for a while. Finally, I darted around the car and ran into the garage that way, happy to be in where it was dry. Captain knew I was bored and while she brought back stuff for my Papa's visit, she was nice and also brought me a big bone to chew on. It is delicious and I like it better than that Pooh bear I keep stealing to get her attention with. Captain also brought home a new tote thing for all of my toys and is trying to teach me to put them away when I am finished playing with them. I try, but I just get so distracted. Finally, she brought home these things that turn her hands into real paws and she rubs them all over me. It feels nice and I don't grumble and roll around as much as I do with the big towels. I think she hopes this will help keep me from running into the walls. I really am trying to stay away from them, but can't always help it. Especially on days like today where the streets are washing away and the wind is blowing things at you--I just want to run in as fast as I possibly can. Captain also showed me all of my Papa's surprises, unlike that dog on tv that shares the family recipe, I think I'll keep my jowls shut.
