Rusty Speaks


Today when Mama came home from work, she wasn't alone! Usually, she comes home from work and I yell at her to let me out of my kennel so I can get a drink of water and then go outside and potty. And she's always by herself. But today, she had this boy with her. I wasn't sure what to think about that. The only other people besides Mama that ever come over have been Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Matthew, Kristi and some friends of Mama's from college. But I think this might be the boy that Mama has been talking to since a week ago Tuesday. Whenever she talks to him, she's really happy and she gives me lots of kisses on the ears and on the face. There used to be a boy that lived here, but while Mama was on vacation, he went away and I haven't seen him again since Mama came back. So I'm really used to it being just me and Mama.

Anyway, she came home from work and this boy, Chad, was with her. He gave me a cookie. I wasn't too sure if I liked him or not at first, but Mama seemed to like him and she smiled and laughed a lot while he was here. I even got to sit on the couch next to them while they watched a movie. And Chad scratched my neck, just the way I like. I had two people spoiling me and loving me for the evening (not that Mama can't do it well enough on her own or anything). But I think that sometimes Mama gets lonely, even with me around. I can't exactly talk to her or laugh at her jokes. I just sleep. I want Mama happy, because when she's happy, she plays her piano and sings to me more often. I like when Mama plays her piano.

Don't tell my Mama I told you, but she's been kinda crabby and sad lately. So she'd sing, but not very often, and not as pretty as she can when she's happy. I guess it's ok with me if Chad hangs around. As long as he keeps making my Mama happy, I'll be happy.

Love, Rusty
