Dear Diary, odd night last night. We'd all settled down for a good sleep when suddenly my lady began screeching and screaming at the big dog. Lights were suddenly turned on and my lady was on the floor looking under her bed. I could hear Lovey Bud under there, making some odd noises. My lady kept screaming "He popped her eye out--he popped her eye out," as she worked to get Lovey out from under the bed. When I saw Lovey there was something horribly wrong with her eye and wet red stuff was coming from her nose and mouth. My lady clung to Lovey while Mellow, SaraSue & I put our noses to the wet red stuff that was dripping on the floor. The big dog was put out of the house by my lady's man. Soon the man child was talking on the thing with the fun curly cord. My lady continued to make odd sounds I'd never heard before as she clung to Lovey, who ws now wrapped in some kind of towel. Soon, they all left, taking Lovey with them. SaraSue, Mellow, Babbette, Osiris and I found our sleeping places and went back to our rest. When my lady came back she did not have Lovey with her. I haven't seen Lovey since my lady left with her wrapped up in the towel.

This morning I was outside when the man child helped my lady get the big dog out of the barn and put him into my lady's car. Later in the day when my lady returned she did not have the big dog with her. I was happy she was back as I'd exhausted my outside adventurousness and wanted to go into the house for a nap. My lady moved rather stiffly and her face was droopy, but she held the door for me, so I guess it doesn't matter that her behavior was otherwise odd. She gave me food in the dish I share with the others. After I ate I didn't take a nap right away. Had to chase SaraSue around the house for a while. That was good for a few minutes and then the rocking chair beckoned me to curl up and take my nap. Had to rest up so I can go back outside later and see about a bird.

Dear Diary, Hey, something way cool happened last night--the tree branches moved so that we can get up on Dustin's house roof and my lady's house roof. Nice little paths for us, just up the tree and over. I didn't know the trees moved, but hey, new things happen all the time.

All those little squirts I was worried about are gone now. Calimom and Angel's last one vanished when the raccoon started hanging out under the deck. Calimon started swiping at anything that moved for a while after that. Once I was just standing around on the deck, minding my own business and she started slapping me in the face. I like to take more naps in the house now and stay away from that crazy squirter. Had to go out today though to check out the trees that moved.
