I tried to tell Denali that mommy is just a little…down…right now and that everything would be fine. But she didn’t believe me. Whatever mommy’s troubles though, she seems to be a little better today. She woke up very early and left before the sun even came up! She came home before 10am so I wasn’t worried much. Then she did something she hasn’t been doing lately, she took Denali and I outside for a bit and even settled down with a book to read too! It was so much fun to spend some time with mommy.

Of course Denali had to try to monopolize her by playing games in the clovers. But that’s Denali for you. Mommy knows my preferences well, she took me outside and settled herself in the shade of a tree while giving my leash enough slack so that I could wander in the sun.

I’ll never understand why humans need to shell out money that cold be better spent on treats and food on something like Outer Banks rentals. Why do you need to pay to go somewhere else when the warm touches the outside everywhere? Aren’t humans weird?

My only complaint is that mommy still doesn’t trust me to go outside without a leash on. If I do get to go outside without one, then she’s hoovering over me. Otherwise, if I want to wander around or step away from mommy I have to go out on the extendable leash. Mommy thinks I get into too much trouble if I’m not on the leash and it’s all because of a few things too.

• I fell off the roof once
• chased some stray doggies who were in my territory and bothering mommy
• I get stuck in trees, or the roof, and yowl until mommy gets me
• get into fights with Big Mama, she’s grandma’s doggy

See…just because of that mommy keeps me on a leash. But Denali gets to run around all she wants until it’s time to come in. So not fair! Denali should have to be on a leash too. But whenever I try to tell mommy, she just pats me on the head and says she doesn’t want anything happening to her little old lady. *pouts*
