A really weird thing happened last weekend. Saturday morning my family got up extra early and started carrying things out of the house to the car--you know, big boxes, suitcases and stuff. Well usually this means I have to go for big car ride, which I HATE! It makes my tummy so sick, you see. So I did what I usually do when a car ride is in the offing--I hid in Mommy's bedroom. I know she's going to find me and stuff me in that box-thing, but it never hurts to try! (Rmember, you can never be too cautious!) Well, suddenly I heard the door shut and no one came back in to get me! At first I thought, "What a relief! I'll just hang out til they come back later. They always come back when they don't take me with them." So I waited, and waited, and WAITED! NO ONE CAME BACK! By now it was getting dark and I started to get worried. What if there's no food? What if monsters get me? What if there's no food? What if they never come back? WHAT IF THERE'S NO FOOD? Oh, did I mention, WHAT IF THERE'S NO FOOD? Well, I walked around the house and yelled, but no one said, "What's the matter Toby?" I decided to check out the food dish anyway, and what a relief! It was full to the top with food on both sides! Hooray! Well, I made it through the night somehow, and all of the next day. Suddenly it started to grow dark AGAIN! Still no one came home! And now the food dish was starting to be a bit depleted. I was just starting to panic slightly when I heard a car! Oh no! It might be burglers! What should I do? They could take what's left of my food! Oh dear, woe is me! But lo and behold, in walked my Mom, Grandma, Casey, Uncle Dave, and (ugh) Harvey! I was so happy that I had to retire to Mommy's bedroom to recover until all the unpacking hub-bub was over. What I have to go through just to avoid a car ride!
