Mystery Solved

Woof to all my friends! I didn’t mean to leave everyone in suspense. It’s just that I didn’t know any more than Xena did about where Dad and I were going. We drove for a long time before stopping for the night. We had a huge bed, sized for a king, so I slept right in the middle, up against my Dad. I wanted him to feel warm and safe, you know. Mom had packed my raw diet in portions for Dad to feed me breakfast in the hotel. I know that ’cause I had watched her weigh, package and label it all. So the next morning Dad dumped my breckies food into my bowl. Dad didn’t know how fast I always eat that yummy meat, so he thought I didn’t get enough and gave me another package! Woo hoo! Score! (Later Mom told him not to do that, and that he would have to come up with another meal for me!)

We piled back into the car and kept going into colder weather. Finally, we ended up at my grandma’s house in Illinois, where there was another surprise waiting. A cat had moved in. I tried to give a friendly greeting to Oscar, my grandma’s new cat. After sniffing me, he swatted my nose! Ow!! How rude!

I decided to leave Oscar alone the rest of the night and see if he felt any friendlier in the morning.

The next morning, after my first outie with my Dad, I wanted to go downstairs to my bedroom. Oscar growled, “Thou shalt not pass.” Huh?

I took this to mean I should run really fast down the stairs.

Speaking of running, Dad has been letting me run off-leash during the day when we go outside together. I run really, really fast and always come right back to him when he calls.

I spend time with my grandma during the day but I can’t sleep with her at night because of Oscar. Darn cat. Well, I’m still trying to win him over, and then we can both sleep with grandma.

Mom, be sure and tell Riley and Xena where I am and that I will be coming home after Christmas.

Love and wiggles, Lucy the un-grounded

  1. Uh, of course not! I just want to live in peace and not get hurt at Grandma’s. Is that too much to ask? (And Mom has told me that I am a wonderful representative of the bully breeds.) Lucy

  6. Hi Kali and Shoko. I don’t have much time, but I keep laying down low so I don’t look so big and asking Oscar to be my friend. Paws crossed it will work!

  7. Hi Sadie! Dad told me this cat doesn’t have claws on his front paws. That’s why my nose didn’t bleed. I feel both happy and sad…~Lucy

    Aha! You DID go North – just not too far North!!! How wonderfurs to be with your grammie… and I am sure once Oscar comes to understand you are no threat to his ownership of her, that you will become mates. (ish). Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
