Samantha's:

I wake up in the morning before my mommy does. I watch my grandmommy get up and start getting ready, but I don't get up until she tells me it is time for Mommy to wake up. Then I go in Mommy's room, put my front paws up on her bed, and say "BOOF!!" Mommy wakes up and we cuddle for a little while and then she tells me I have to go pee-pee. Sometimes I don't want to go outside, but Mommy makes it sound so fun, I always do. After I finish pee-peein', Mommy lets me back inside and we run upstairs to tell Grandmommy what I did. The door is usually shut so I hit it open with my nose. She and Mommy make such a big deal out of goin' pee-pee. I think they're a little nutso. Then Mommy has to start getting ready for work. I like to lay on her bed while she gets ready 'cause if she can't lay with me, this is the next best thing. I give her the saddest eyes I possibly could when she comes in to say goodbye to me. But she never stays, she always has to go. I follow her halfway down the stairs and she pets me one last time.

I spend the day with Granddaddy. I like to play and he calls me silly things like "Goof" and "his girlfriend." Granddaddy is fun. But I can't wait for Mommy to come home. I listen for her car and as soon as I hear it, I look out the window to make sure.

I meet Mommy at the door and she always gets down and hugs and kisses me. Then she goes to the couch and pats it so I can get up there and tell her about my day. Me and Mom are buds. I love it when she comes home and plays with me and kisses me. She sometimes says, "I wish she could realize just how much I love her." I hope that Mommy can realize that I do.
