I apologize to everyone. I did not mean to be away so long but I have had a number of adventures. A couple of them were not very much fun at all. The worst was when mommy and daddy went away and left me with Gus and his family.
I like my house. I don’t know why mommy and daddy thought I should go and be in another house. I like my house. This other house had strange smells and things, but mostly it did not have my mommy and daddy. I was scared. Gus tried real hard to be nice to me; and his mommy and daddy were too. But I was scared. I got very sick.
Gus’s mommy and daddy took me to a very strange place. When we were there people shaved my tummy and gave me lots of needles and medicine. I did not have fun. I was scared. Did I tell you, they shaved my tummy. They put gooey things on me. They put needles in my neck and left me with a big lumpy feeling that took a long time to go away. They gave me medicine that made me wobbly.
But I think all these things worked, because my mommy and daddy came back. I got to go home again. I was happy.
