<p class=MsoNormal>It’s me again – Norm!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Something is in the wind here – and it is more than
leaves burning. I can’t figure it out yet but I know Mom is up to
something. She’s acting kind of weird – she put Opie and me
on this two-doggie thing and walked us up and down the driveway a nickzillion
times. Then she walked Opie by himself – that was funny –
Opie ran in circles around her for a while, then he acted like a bucking
bronco, then he finally settled down and walked nicely for Mom. Granny
Pat brought Ouija out too – and I had to walk with her on the two-doggie
thing. Mom walked Ouija by herself – she wasn’t really good
but she wasn’t as bad as Opie. After that, I was lounging on the
porch with Ouija and we heard Mom and Granny Pat talking about a “road
trip” – what is that all about???? I didn’t know that
roads take trips!! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Later this evening, while we were eating – I saw Mom
sneak some stuff out to the new house on wheels. I don’t know what
is going on – Grady hasn’t given the “we’re going to a
dog show” alert, so I don’t think that is it. But …
something is definitely up … I will keep my nose to the ground, my eyes
peeled (ooooh – that sounds yucky) and my ears listening and I will keep
you posted.<o:p></o:p></p>
