I love Mom. I don't get all of the attention from her like I used to. I miss getting hugs from her without dogs jumping @ us. I love Dad, too, but he calls me stinky. When Mom pets me, all she seems to do is fuss with the mats in my fur. I do & don't want to go to the groomer. I don't like how mean Fred is when I come back, the car ride, being held down with an e-collar on, or the sound of the clippers. I do like how light I feel & how much I can feel Mom & Dad petting me after, though. And they tell me how pretty I look. I like that. I think I heard Mom say that Fred might go to the groomer, too. Wonder how mean he'll be to me if we both go @ the same time! Mom hasn't been brushing him as much lately because every time she touches one of us, the dogs come running & interrupt. If I ignore the dogs, I can get all the hugs from Mom that I want. Dad lets me lay with him & he scratches my rear, right by my tail. This makes my head go back & forth & my eyes glaze over. Mom calls me "animatronic," whatever that means. Dad thinks it's kinda scary, but funny too. I keep asking Mom for wet food, but all she gives us is treats. I wonder if my sick tummy is the reason I don't get wet food anymore...
I learned that if I don't swat @ the dogs, Mom tells me that I'm a good boy & pets me more. So I've been letting the little loud one come close when she wants to. Thank goodness she doesn't try to lick me like she does Sam! I don't think I could handle that. But I like that Mom gets happy when I'm not mean to her. Seven won't even try to play with me. She's too scared of me & Fred. I don't think I mind too much.
