to Spells Writing Lab. The kids there were VERY nice. They would pet me and they fed me treats. Although I am deaf, I could tell the kids were asking questions. When I went home, I went to the couch and watched TV with Mary Todd. Then I took a nap. Marry Todd rested her head on me and we spent the night there. The End.

Dear Diary,

When I saw you walk in, I wanted you to take me home with you.

(as told to Nikki)

Tues, July 13

Today my owner took me to Spells Writing Lab. They fed me treats!! YUM!! Then they petted me. After that, they asked questions. Before me and my owner left, they fed me treats again. YUM AGAIN!!

I was too lazy to get up, so I sat on my little mattress my whole visit at Spells Writing Lab. But I missed my brothers and sisters. Then when my fans were petting me, I played with a toy duck and toy baby turtle. It was awesome!! My owner said that I am coming tomorrow!! To give them my business cards because we ran out of business cards. I wonder if they are going to give me the treats again. That would be awe-‐some!! I also wonder if there is going to be another dog. If there is, I would play maybe. I am saying maybe because sometimes I am lazy and sometimes I am not. I am soooooooooooooo excited! So BYE FOR NOW!!

P.S. See you on my own blog!!

BYE!!

I came to Spells Writing Lab, went back home. I took a nap. I was dreaming about being two again. I woke up and I was two! I could play Frisbee again. I was so happy.

Dear Diary,

I came to Philly Spells and my owner talked about me. Near the end of my visit, I got my fabulous treats. Then my owner took me home and turned on the TV. I laid on the couch and my girlfriend, Mary Todd Lincoln, snuggled with me on the couch. When I woke up, I yawned and finished watching TV. I just relaxed on my bed. I also bugged my owner to go outside. So he did take me outside, and I did a little dance outside. When I went back in, I ate, then went back to sleep.
