Hi dear friends,

I was a bad girl this morning. Yep, I know it's hard to believe, but I was. We woke up around 6:00 am and it was already daylight. Mommy wanted to sleep longer but, then she remembered that Purple Heart was coming today and she hadn't put the box out yet. So we got up. Mommy was still in her long granny gown with her socks on, and her hair all out of shape, she looks like a banshee when she wakes up....kinda funny really....."it wasn't all that funny, Mona!!"

Then I was bad. Mommy took the box outside and I darted out the door. I am never, ever allowed in the front yard without my leash on. There was still ice, used to be snow, and I ran across the yard. Mommy came running after me hollering to stop, but I just stood at the edge of the driveway.Mommy got scared and went inside to get my leash, thinking I would think we were going for a walk. She was right. I came right back and she grabbed me up and started cuddling me at the same time. "It was awful! I was afraid she'd run into the street"

I thought I was in big trouble. Mommy is still sick and didn't scold me. She wanted to go back to bed, so she gave me a big knuckle bone....they come in a bag of assorted basted bones from, Petsmart....and she went back to bed and I chewed on my bone.

After hours of chewing my bones, Mommy got up and let me go into the backyard. There was still a bunch of that icy stuff on the ground but I was on a mission and couldn't let the ice crackling under my paws stop me.

I had to hide my prize for another time and make sure it was secure.

My hidie hole. Bet you can't see it and hopefully nobody saw where I buried it.

Then, of course, I had to go make sure Spike didn't see me hid it.

"Spike are you there?"

" It's safe! I think I woke him up."

I missed going to Aunt Judy's for another play date since Mommy didn't want to make everybody else sick. I am very disappointed but it's not as if we don't do that all the time. She just won't get her usual fix from George and Bradley. I guess I shouldn't complain since I did scare Mommy but there's nothing to do. Mommy says it's time for a nap, so I guess I'll go dig my bone up again.

Love, kisses and {{{huggies}}}......Mona
