Daisy here! Wow Honey and Lilly, Dexter sure is one lucky dog! And smart too. I wish Iknew how to shake. Mom tried to teach me before but I have bad balance and if she lifted up my paw, I'd tip over. She was laughin' so hard. I didn't think it was very funny.

Is it real hot at all your houses everybuddy? Cuz here in Massachoosits it's REAL hot. I haven't been doin' much of anythin'. I just lay onna cold tiles inna hallway and look real pathetic.

I had a real bad night last night. First of all Mom thought it would "do me good" to give me a cold shower. She doesn't seem to understand: water is never good. But she dragged me up into the shower and sprayed me down with cool water. Well I gotta admit I did feel a lil' better but I was still real mad! Later when I had dried off, Mom carried me upstairs as usual but instead of going to her room, she took me to Grandma and Grandpa's room. She explained to me her room was way too hot to sleep in and their room has something called air conditionin' that makes everythin' cooler. She grabbed a pillow and sheet and we plopped down onna floor. Well I was layin' there for a while when I remembered that Mom had given me a bath earlier. I got mad all over again and got up and gave her a nasty look, even though she was already asleep and didn't really care. Oh well, it was fun anyway. I decided to be mean and sleep in the walk-in closet instead. So I walked in there and flopped over and went to sleep. Well, I woke up at maybe three inna mornin' and decided I wasn't mad at Mom anyore so I tried to go see her, but someone had put a table cart in front of the door! See, Grandpa has a little cart with wheels that he keeps medikul sooplies on, and they always put in in the closet doorway before bed... I had forgotted that!!! So I freaked out and started makin' a big fuss, cryin' and howlin', but with that cart in front of the door, my voice was quiet! I didn't think anybuddy was gonna hear me and I started thinkin'... what if I had to live inna closet forever!? I got real scared and ept cryin', and then I heard a "bang bang bang" sound, the sound of Grandpa's hand hittin' the bed! He can't talk so that's how he tells Grandma he needs somethin'. She woke up and went to see what he wants, and I guess he musta pointed to the closet, and I howled, and the next thing I knew, the cart was moved and I was free! She and Grandpa got quite a laugh over it. I was all nerved up and woke Mom up to get kisses. She felt real bad she didn't hear me and gave me a big hug. I am not mad at her anymore. And I am lucky to be alive! You know how many dogs have prob'ly got forgotted inna closet!?

Well I gotta go eat some ice now. Keep cool, dogs!

Love,
Daisy
