Have a good weekend everyone!


My dad did make it home, by some miracle. I’ll never know how he gets around without me. Of course, maybe its all a big scam…maybe he just goes around the block and sits all day waiting until 4pm when he usually comes home and then walks in the door like he’s been at work all day…yeah, that must be it because I’m sure he needs me to navigate for him otherwise.
Anyway, have I mentioned that I’ve been having skin trouble? Well, I have and mom decided she was going to wage a war again the hot spots and she is finally winning. I was taking benedryl everyday but now I’m on an antibiotic and it seems to be clearing up. Also, I get to have bath in oatmeal shampoo twice a week. Yes, I said, I get to…I like my oatmeal baths. For example, mom was kinda disappointed yesterday morning when she ran a bath for herself and went into her closet to get her clothes, I jumped into the bathtub. When she came in she said “Aw, Mackie!- Have you stolen mommies bath?” and I wagged my tail to say that I had which of course just made her laugh. I knew then that I was in and I’d get a good oatmeal scrubbing. Oh, it felt so good! This morning, Finnegan got a bath because mom said something about him going on a trip with them tomorrow. I can’t imagine that they would take that little punk and leave me at home.
(Note from mom: As I have mentioned before, Mackie is a terrible traveler! He has too much anxiety and is hard to handle on long trips…Finnegan is a good traveler and rides very nicely.)
Seems mom and dad are going to some family reunion in Pennsylvania tomorrow and my grandma is going too. Oh how I love my grandma. I know grandma will talk them into letting me go too…right, grandma??? ….grandma???...hello.., grandma??...This isn’t looking good for me.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Oh Mackie: I hope you get to go too! Trips are fun, and it is easy to fall asleep if you just think good thoughts. And don't worry, you will wake up in plenty of time for Steak n Shake, cause you will smell it before you get there.

Aw Mackie, who wants to be stuck in a car for hours.

Your oatmeal bath does indeed sound lovely. Hope your skin clears up soon.

I think you'll be better off staying at home, cos then your mum will feel guilty and you'll get more treats and stuff. Always works for me! Hope your skin problems clear up soon pal. J x

Cars can be fun... for awhile. Then it gets annoying that I am not allowed to drive or to stick my head out of the window while we're on the freeway. B-o-r-i-n-g.

Maybe while you're "home alone" we should have a party at Mackie's house!!!

Love,
Bogart
