Katie here.  Mom says I can talk today on her blog, cause she’s too tired.  I’ve been keeping her busy today and I think she needs a nap.  It’s her own darn fault anyway.

I’ve been waiting and waiting for Mom and Daddy to pay attention to me.  First they’re all busy with work, then we get company, then Daddy goes off to work on some project and Mom works late every night at work and I have to spend all day every day alone.  This is not what I signed up for when I adopted them.

So when they do come home I’m all about me.  Me me me me me.  And I want to play with  my rabbit and my froggy and my lambie and my squirrel and my ball and…well you know.  But they don’t want to play so much.  They say things like ‘Go lie down’ and ‘Katie! Stop biting my feet!’ and ‘NO BARK!’ and other nonsense.  I just want to play.  Gee.  What’s a doggie to do.

Well I guess this weekend I made my Mom feel bad, so Friday night she set up the tent and we got to go camping!  I love to camp in our back yard.  Last night I was such a good girl and didn’t bark at anything.  Not even the funny noises and smells.  I was just so good and let Mom sleep all the way until 5:30 this morning!

Then she had to go to work.  I was sad.  But she came home in the middle of the afternoon and  guess what?  WE GOT TO GO TO MY PARK!  I would have been happy just to stay there, but nooooo.  Mom wanted to go to HER favorite park which is almost a half hour away!  Since when is it all about HER?

But I humored her and we sat by the lake and watched the geese and she read a book.  I was a good girl and sat by her feet while I watched kids fish and that goose swim around out there.  I didn’t bark at anything!  I was just glad to be out near a lake with my Mom.

So that’s the story so far this weekend.  I think we’re going to camp out again tonight!  I can’t wait.  As soon as it gets dark I’m going to go over to the back door and whine like I did last night.  It works.  She’ll go to bed early just to make me happy.  You wait and see.

I’ve got my Mom figured out.
