A Day with Mom

What a lovely day. Mom was only gone for a little while, running errands for Castle Course. Castle Course is the name of her new business. She says it's because it's her castle, of course! That's why she's been gone so much and on the computer a lot when she comes home. I asked her about my books, and she said she has to talk to some people about illustrating them because she's decided to self-publish, whatever that means.

Anyway, we had a nice leisurely walk late this morning (I let Mom sleep in cuz she was really tired), then a nice long time relaxing in the yard - for me anyway - Mom was doing chores. And joy of joys, I was actually on the front lawn when I saw Mark, our terrific letter carrier, coming down the street! Mom didn't even holler much when I trit-trotted down to see him. It was a good thing I did - he gave me a biscuit for each house we visited!!! That's lots more than I usually get! He was all smiles too. I don't think he has too many pups who will walk with him so nicely. Of course, I am also pretty cute, which helps.

When we took our evening walk, we went south of Center and around the block there. We saw a mom and two pretty girls riding bikes up ahead of us, but I didn't think too much of it until we got to where they were putting their bikes away, and the little one saw me. I thought she looked familiar, and guess what? SHE CALLED ME BY NAME!!! "Moxie!!" she yelled. She was so excited to see me again! Gosh that felt good! What felt even better was when she and her sister stroked my fur and admired me while Mom and their mom talked. Mom told her about the terrific Enderis Park Halloween and to watch the website for other stuff. The girls will love it!

So now Mom is going back on the computer, and I'm snoozin'. Happy dreams friends!
