Millennium Diary

OK, so it's next year......all seems the same to me. Mom says that if anyone is reading this.......then.......everything's ok. Seems ok to me anyway. The sun came up, the sky is blue........there is plenty of food........Life is good.

Mom says we're keepin' the rooster........
....he's symbolic........whatever!

January 1, 2000
Dear Diary,
Well, it's Sunday, we all made it into the New Year. Bo and Truman watched the parade on tv all day. Cujo dressed up for the New Year!

Mom said she's gonna do it 'her way' and not make any Millennium 2000 New Year Resolutions.....me neither. I rested and guarded all day. I can pretty much do both at once.

1-2-00Dear Diary,
Today was a running day. Mom and I just love early morning runs. Mom's doing very well. She says she needs to join the gym. Some kind of 'trials' for humanz. Doesn't sound very good to me. Aunt Donna e-mailed the Christmas photos ...we're all so cute!

1-4-00Dear Diary,
We didn't get to run today 'cause Mom was waiting for her new bed to be delivered. Ha....didn't come 'til noon. Mom's been soooo busy making places to click on. Now she's into celebrities.....like Cher! Celebrities and Astrology and Computers....that's all I ever hear about. Mom loves Shirley MacLaine and you know how weird she is..

1-6-00Dear Diary,
Today was pretty routine until I broke one of my toenails and blood was pumping out. Mom saved the day.....just like always. She put some yellow powder stuff on my toe and it didn't even hurt. I got a cookie for being a good boy even though I did growl some. I love Mom.

1-10-00Dear Diary,
Today was a good day, it's Harley Davidson's Birthday....he's 5 years old. He stayed at Aunt Donna's house when we moved here. He was fun to chase. Catz are ok.....but.....

1-13-00Dear Diary,
Instead of running today, Mom and I walked over to the vet. Of course, I didn't know that's where we were headed. I got all of my toenails cut. Ugh! I was pretty good (they put that muzzle thing on me) and got a cookie afterwards. Mom was all happy 'cause now I don't go click, click, click when we run.

1-15-00Dear Diary,
It's been such nice weather.....kinda hot, actually. 84 degrees. But Mom's out there covering those trees at night anyway. We saw seaguls flying all around this morning and now Mom thinks it's gonna rain. There are clouds all around. We'll see.

1-16-00Dear Diary,
We went out for our run and Mom said that bird stuff again.........sure enough, here came the rain. Good thing we went out early. But we run in the rain.....it's cool.

1-18-00Dear Diary,
Mom went grocery shopping and brought home 6 cases of dog food. That little car couldn't hold another thing. She says she needs a truck for me and the dog food. I know how she is.....one of these first days there will be a new truck sitting in the driveway.

1-20-00Dear Diary,
Today was just a regular day, I thought. But tonight was some big deal about the eclypse of the moon. Mom stood outside looking up for over an hour. I stayed out side with her but I didn't think it was any big deal...

1-22-00Dear Diary,
Mom went to the desert to see Aunt Donna....I stayed home again and watched after gramma. Mom said it won't be long before she can take me along too. That will be fun, I love to go for rides, even if it's only to the drive thru.

1-24-00Dear Diary,
It's so good to have Mom home. Bo ate something in the backyard and he didn't feel so good today. All he did was sleep all day. Truman was feeling great and he had to play alone. Today was Mom's birthday! She didn't say how old she is.

1-25-00Dear Diary,
We didn't run today. Mom said it was raining just too hard. I guess we don't run in the rain after all. Mom's all tense about getting a new truck. She said she's living on the edge. Edge of what, I wonder? I'm glad she already got those 6 cases of food. Looks like she may be getting ready to 'cut back'. Humanz are just too up tight.

1-26-00Dear Diary,
Today is Mom's friend Dorothy's birthday. She lives in Alabama. Mom has a t-shirt from there. She and Mom use to ride motorcycles before Dorothy and her family moved. Mom 'raced desert' for awhile.... it's kind of a stretch but .....imagine that! That was waaaay before I was born.

1-28-00Dear Diary,
Instead of our regular route, Mom and I walked to the bank. I stood guard, checking this way and that (looking impressive), while Mom poked those buttons at the walk up window. The bank looks like the drive thru but it's not as good...........
.....no hamburgers.

1-31-00Dear Diary,
I heard Mom say that Aunt Pat's son, Rick, had a birthday today. Those Aquarians are all over the place. Mom's computer won't be shipped 'til the end of February........she's not too happy. She's not one to sit around....wonder what she's gonna do next?

2-1-00Dear Diary,
Another of Mom's High School chums, Lynda (Capricorn), came by today. She brought her best friends, Shadow (a very sweet female Pitbull) and Daisy (a funny little Carin Terrior, a Toto dog)I looked around for Dorothy and the 'ruby slippers'. Mom wouldn't let any of us play together. Truman was screaming warnings to Shadow and Bo was so scared he almost lost his spots. I wasn't scared at all! (neither was Shadow) Mom said she didn't think it went very well.

2-2-00Dear Diary,
Today is Groundhog Day! I saw some mounds of dirt over by the golf course and hurried over to see..........only gophers.

2-4-00Dear Diary,
Nothing much going on around here. Everything's kinda loosey-goosey! We're just waitin' for the new computer to come, I guess.

2-8-00Dear Diary,
The weather sure is weird.....one day it's really foggy and cold and the next day it's 80 degrees. Is it winter or summer? I like winter best......Mom likes spring and Bo and Truman like summer. Eventually we all get what we like.

2-11-00Dear Diary,
Only 3 days 'til Valentine's Day! These are for you Mom!

2-12-00Dear Diary,
Valentine's Day countdown......only 2 more days!

2-13-00Dear Diary,
Valentine's Day countdown......only 1 more day!

2-14-00Dear Diary,
It's here!! It's Valentine's Day!!!!

2-16-00Dear Diary,
It rained, rained, rained mostly all day! Mom was gone. Me and Gramma worry when Mom drives that little car on the freeway in the rain.

2-18-00Dear Diary,
The sun came out all day yesterday.....sure was fogy this morning and cool. This is my kind of weather. Mom doesn't like what it does to her hair......I love what it does to mine. *smile*

2-20-00Dear Diary,
All it does is RAIN, RAIN, RAIN!!!

2-22-00Dear Diary,
The rain has finally stopped....oh yeah, oh yeah!

Today was Cujo's birthday. He's two. Mom still misses Possum a lot (Cujie's brother).....I don't miss him all that much but Bo does. We sent Cujie a Happy Birthday virtual card.

2-24-00Dear Diary,
We've been walking everyday but Mom has to carry her umbrella 'cause it always rains half way along. So......the rule is......there is no rule. I wonder if all Mom's are like that? Probably.

2-26-00Dear Diary,
It was a beautiful day today. The sun was out all day long. Everything is so wet from all the rain we've been having. I love a sunny day........sounds like a good title or lyric for a song.

2-28-00Dear Diary,
It rained almost all night. The sun finally came out. When's spring? Mom's on cloud nine 'cause she got the e-mail that the new computer has been shipped. She's building Aunt Donna a new web site. I saw it.....it's black with pink writing.

2-29-00Dear Diary,
Today is "Leap Day"! I looked all around all day and I never could see what made it different from any other Tuesday. (Aunt Donna's 'faux' birthday)

3-2-00Dear Diary,
Well, the new computer is here.....I guess it's good bye Mom for awhile. She was in there just a clickin' getting it all set up. I wonder if there is such a thing as "computer possession".......I'm waiting for her head to start spinning around.

3-4-00Dear Diary,
It's Aunt Donna's birthday! Mom and the boys went to give her her presents. I still can't go 'cause I can't fit into the car. Mom says "soon". Anyway, I hope Aunt Donna had a wonderful day and I'll be glad when they all come home.

3-5-00Dear Diary,
I knew it would happen and sure enough, it has......Mom got a new truck! It's white!

3-8-00Dear Diary,
Well, Mom got that truck and the first thing she did is take off and leave us ALL at home. I thought she got that truck so I could go along. I guess she couldn't resist the call of the open road........

3-11-00Dear Diary,
Mom's home.........it was over 80 degrees today........must be spring! It's hard to remember that only a couple of days ago it was full on winter, hail and all.

3-14-00Dear Diary,
It sure has been hot the last few days. Mom and I walk by a house where a man and a basset hound live. Every time he sees me he carries on something awful. What a voice and he pulls and tugs at his leash. Not at all well behaved......like me.

3-17-00Dear Diary,
Today is Saint Partick's Day and Truman's birthday. He's one year old now....Truman, I mean. Truman this click is for you. These are some things that are Irish. Happy Birthday!!!

Click

3-20-00Dear Diary,
Mom took me in the new truck to get weighed......I'm a little thin, only 125 lbs. Bo got his nails trimmed. Truman waited in the truck. If you're into it, Mom says, the sun enters Aries today.

3-22-00Dear Diary,
Something is in the air..........I know Mom is up to something....I just don't know what. She's on the phone using a tone I'm not use to hearing. I heard her say something about getting a real job.

3-24-00Dear Diary,
Aunt Donna came to visit..........we're having a sleep over. It's so fun. Me and Bo and Truman are all gonna sleep with her. We love Aunt Donna.

3-25-00Dear Diary,
Mom and Aunt Donna stayed up half the night doing stuff on the computer and talking and talking. The boys and I thought Aunt Donna went home but at midnight she came back and is staying over again. Boy, oh boy!

3-26-00Dear Diary,
Aunt Donna left really early this morning but came back again tonight....it was Mary Kay stuff. It's always computer or Mary Kay........and now it's work too.

3-29-00Dear Diary,
Mom took Gramma to the doctor this morning and she didn't bring her back home. Gramma's in the hospital.........trouble breathing. Gramma doesn't like us all that much but we love her. *sympathetic smile*

3-31-00Dear Diary,
Gramma's still gone and Mom's not been around much either. *sigh*
