Things are getting better at our house, so Ink, I think I'll stick around a while. I know it is fun at your house with your dad being back from the place where people do not like each other shoot bombs called Iraq, but you have two stupid dogs at your house and I only have one bothersome cat at mine.

The men who do not talk like me or Mom came over and finished fixing the dining room walls so Mom does not have a project any more. She is very happy about her new walls and called a bunch of people on the phone acting all happy about it. Mrs. Cravitz came to our house and knocked on the door and told Mom she had a problem with her nose and wanted to come in our dining room. Mom laughed at Mrs. Cravitz and me and the big man were confused because we did not know Mom's new dining room walls would help people with their noses.


I stayed out of the way most of the day and at night when Mom cleaned up everything and put the furniture back. She was in a big hurry because she is getting up very early in the morning to put on her white shoes with laces and a cap and run away. But she always comes back. Then she is going to get those people babies that I do not like. I may hide all day tomorrow too.

Maybe it is good that people babies are coming and I can hide. The people babies can be mean to Shadow not me. I hope Mom yells at Shadow and tells her she better not hurt those people babies like she does to me. Because If Shadow gets to hurt the people babies and I don't, I will be mad because that is not fair.

I do not like it when things are not fair. That is not cool and I am a cool cat.
