Day 173

Seven posts left and then I don't know what I'll do. The good thing about Day 173 is that I am feeling a little bit better, not 100% but better. Also, since Captain knows I don't feel well and I haven't given her any experiments she just kept taking me on tours all day. I think I'll just keep holding it in and see how it pans out. Then again, she didn't have the ferry drivers come since she was home and just had a shortened workout. I was fine with it until I saw ferry driver Josh's truck and that made me a little sad that I was probably missing a nice tour with a friend or two. Captain says I can go on a tour tomorrow.

I napped in between all those tours and just had a few times where I was king watchdog of the Island. First thing was when Captain was trying to chat with Papa briefly. Second, when she let some man in the house. He walked all around and was checking light bulbs and appliances for excessive energy use all the while I was in the garage and then when he went into the garage, Captain put me into the house. ARG, I let her know I was unhappy by throwing her shoes around the garage--three pairs of them. The third time was when I got in the most trouble and that was when Captain had some big shot on the phone from an Institute that is famous and the neighbor knocked on the door to give Captain some check only to have me bark in the background. The man on the phone didn't seem to like dogs according to Captain.

I must not have been too bad because Captain had to run an errand to a different Island called Cambridge to buy my Papa a new computer (it should be a shared computer, but Captain knows how that really works) and she took me with her for the ride. It was a long ride but Captain showed me the city all lit up with late day sun so it kinda sparkled. She showed me where she worked and where she runs in the mornings. She tells me a lot of things in the car when she drives. I think she hoped it would warrant her an experiment when we got home, but she was wrong.
