Hi, ebberbuddy! It's Smokey agin ~

Cinder's still a liddel too 'barrused ta talk jest yet, but is taking this Zapper do-thingy a lot better'n we all thought she wud. Dad dint make her sleep wiffa Zapper on, but we she waked up an started barkin at Skruffy Dog when he ran thru our yard to go up an feed the horseys this morning - she only barked hello a kupla times an then quit. Usually she runs back an 4th frumma bunkroom to the bay winnows lotsa times shout barkin all the way. Dad eben woked up an gave her a *good gurl* fer bein almost quiet.

Taday atta Shop she only fergotted wunst an barked 3 or 4 times atta next door guy, but I think the Zapper got goin an she purdy quick membered ta stop wiffa shoutin. Dad walked cross street to the Post Office - not eben a whimper outta ole Cinders. Normally she'd be in constant bark mode till he started walkin back towards us. Now instead of gettin the *evil finger wag* she's gettin a lotta *good gurls* an then we both get biskits!

I dunno, Hannah, them extra biskits taste purdy fine. And I don't think the Dad is gonna give in on this wun; Pout, Sulk, or throw a Tantrum neber seems ta work reel well on him. An he's a lot happier passin out biskits than he is when he hasta keep gettin up frum wurk and hellerin *QUIET* atta BarkMutt. Plus he won't hafta wag the *Eevil Finger* around so much.

Hey Miz Karen ~ Dad liked yer "jest natchurrly chatty" komment! He sez you could be a polletichun; whateber that means?

We gotsta go pack for the Picksberg trip. Gotta warsh our bamdannaz, chop toenails and probably get brushed, too. Sure hope we skip the durn baff; but I don't think we gotten too *soiled* or *stinkee* this week so mebbe we kan jest watch Dad play in the Kat's fallin wadder kloset and call it a nite.

Hey FurKidz ~ member it's Mom's Day Eve - no erlee risin tomorrow! And be sure ta give out LOTZ a *Schlurrps & Huggies* to yer Momz. And don't ignore the Dadz - the're purdy speschul too!

>> Happie Mom's Day to All You Momz!
