Grass & Politics
August 4, 2000

Whoa, what a morning!

First, mommy got up early, because she couldn't sleep in. Then she cleaned up and then she started to make breakfast! She made eggs. Grandma snuck me some. Don't tell anyone. It was good. Then after breakfast... we went outside! Mommy put me in my harness and we did a full out exploration. I went into little places (mommy wasn't really happy about that). I went under bushes, under trees, around fences, through fresh cut, and wet grass. It was great. I almost ate a dead bug but mommy told me no. She said, "This is the city, you don't know what's in that bug."

It was so nice. Mmmmmmmm.

I don't get this whole Republican National Convention. Mommy has met G.W. Bush, and she didn't seem impressed by him. She liked Orin Hatch's staff. They were very friendly. And of course she like V.P. Al Gore's Secret Service detail. They are very nice people, very friendly, even if one of them looks like one of the bad characters on an episode of The X-Files. At least that's what mommy said.

This convention has been so annoying. Mommy likes politics, but not this! Mommy said they should have elected Alan Keyes. He's fun and he's happy... She doesn't like many of his views, but he's really energetic and makes lots of people smile and laugh. I am just tired of seeing the convention on all of the TV stations. I think C-Span does enough coverage to make everyone happy!

Did anyone see Grandma on the cam today? She sort of sat in front of it. She was kind of sleepy, so she didn't realize that she was on.

Everyone went out after daddy got up. Mommy came back with bags. I think she and Grandma went shopping. I played in the bags, it was fun. Not as much fun as the grass and all outside, but fun.

I've started to develop something over my eye. Daddy says it's dry skin, but mommy isn't exactly sure. I see a trip to the vets soon. Maybe I'll think positive thoughts and it will go away. Natural healing, in my own way. Hummmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnn.

Well, I guess I should go to bed. Mommy and daddy are being boring, and Grandma and Grandpa are gone, so... I'm bored. Till next time diary.
