I know, I know... its been a week since I wrote to you all, but there have been some strange things going on in my life. First is, Auntie Julia has been going away for the day and not coming back until later in the day. She did it again this morning, and I miss her. Last year, Mom and I used to do that. We would go to Mom's school everyday on the bus. I love riding the bus, and then I'd have to be still and quiet in class while Mom listened to the professor, and took notes. I was quiet for most of the time, but sometimes, I couldn't help myself and I whined. Mom and her classmates all laughed, but hey, I've gotta express myself somehow, and Mom would've gotten mad if I'd barked.
Anyhoo, this fall, we're not doing those things at all. I miss going to school, and I think Mom misses having something to do everyday. She is still looking for a work that we can go to everyday, but so far, it hasn't happened. Maybe soon she says to me. I hope we can do more things next week, especially since the weather is going to be cooler than it was this week. One day it was so hot that Mom and I just stayed inside all day, except for when Mom took me out to relieve. I didn't like the hot weather at all.
So like I've been saying, our week has been pretty boring, except for last night. I've been taking these pills so I'll not have that rash on my belly anymore, and I've been good and have been taking them everyday, but last night, I had to pee about every half hour, and Mom was worried. Mom and I stayed at her parents' house last night, and we were sleeping just fine. I'd been fine until early this morning, just as it was getting light outside, and then, I woke Mom up by running around the bed. She knew something was wrong, and so she took me outside. I had to go so badly that she didn't even put on a collar for me. We went outside and after I'd peed, I walked away down the hill. I was free and wanted to explore. Mom must've run back inside and grabbed the bag of cookies because the next thing I knew, she was calling me and shaking the bag. I came running, and at first, didn't want to stop. I was free and happy to run, but I love cookies and if she was going to give me some, I was going to stay with her.
We went back inside and she gave both me and my big brother Marlin a cookie, and then she fed me. She called the vet after that, and we went to see Dr. Heidi again. Dr. Heidi was very nice to me, and she took some blood from me, and made me pee in a dish. I was good when she did both those things, and all of my results came back normal. Mom and Heidi don't know what's going on with me having to pee a lot, and I don't know what's going on either, but it is strange.
Now, I'm about to be done with this entry and I'm going to get Mom to brush me out on the deck, so, I'm off for now.
I'll write more soon... bye all.

Torpedo - You are so damn lucky to have been assumed into a real job - a work dog. Excellent! This is Bosco talking now - sometimes I get really bored at home when Joan is gone at work and I wish I was with her. But they won't let me cuz I don't do real work like you (except make Joan really happy!)
I had to pee all the time last summer and the first analysis didn't show anything wrong but I guess the "culture" the next day showed that I had a bladder infection - so maybe that is what it is. I can't believe that you took off outside after you peed. Geez, I bet you scared your mom to death!
I bet the bus must have been fun. Joan says that there was another dog who rode the bus when she lived in Uptown but then she moved and no more dogs on the bus. Unlike you, I would be really afraid of all the strange people on the bus, and I would have been terrified of that fire alarm. I hate loud noises like alarms - it is very upsetting to me. Bad things happened to me before I lived with Joan that has made me kinda scared of lots of things.
I hope that your mom finds a job so you can have some more exciting days ahead!
Hi Bosco!
Yeah, I think I did scare Mom to death, but she said later to her friends and to her sister that she just stayed calm and went for the cookies. Hey, I'm a lab, what can I say? I'm all better now though, and so I'm feeling great about that. I just hope that Mom can kick this cold she has. Anyway, thanks for writing!
