Louis here…

Wow, my mom has suitcases on the bed in the guest room again!  They have been there for a month now. Do not see any of my stuff there. Hmmmm, what is going on?
Every day, Mom puts stuff on the bed or in the suitcase.  I have been checking them out.  In fact last week I hid my Humpy in one of them.  Mom was not pleased! It had sand all over it and she had to take it out, take the stuff out of the suitcase, vacuum the suitcase and repack it.  Ok, so I goofed!  Wrong place to put Humpy.  Anyway I’ll put it somewhere else next time.
The went out to dinner the other night, and left me home alone for the third time that day!  Boy, I fixed them, I buried both my Bumble Bee and my Humpy in the yard! Bumble Bee was in the sprinkler hole near the corner of Mark and Paulette’s house, a new place, and Humpy in the usual place by the corner of the bedroom.  Well, the sprinklers came on while they were gone.  I didn’t care.  I just left them there.  Wow, Mom came home and immediately noticed that they were not in my basket.  She took the searchlight and went out into the yard looking for them.  Good thing I hid under the bed.  I have a sixth sense about when Mom goes out in the night with that light.  I know what she is doing and what she will tell me when she comes back in.  I don’t need to hear it for the umpteenth time!  After all, it gets redundant after awhile.  So I just stayed under the bed until she calmed down!
When she put Humpy and Bumble Bee in the washer that night, I knew I was in trouble.  But when they came out, they were all nice and clean and Humpy squeaks again!  He stopped doing it for awhile ‘cause he kept getting wet.  But now he works again.  Wow!
Well, now I have a bag packed, too.  Good, I thought they were leaving me home alone.  Boy, could I have a fun time.  I have about a zillion toys so I could put them all over the yard.  Ha!  I could really have fun.  But, my bag is starting to look like I am going somewhere.  Hmmm, I hope it is with them, but maybe not …
Again they went out to dinner tonight.  Doesn’t she ever cook?  I like leftovers, but I only get dog food when they go out.  But tonight I buried Humpy between the pillows on the bed in the guest room.  No room in the suitcases, they are full of stuff!  We must be getting close to leaving.
Oh boy, she found Humpy—good thing he was nice and clean.  Haven’t put him outside since he was washed. Hid him the other day in their closet, and Dad found him!  But he doesn’t say anything to Mom. He is cool; he protects me.
Oh my gosh, it’s 4 a.m. and I am being put into Kathi and Alex’s car.  Mom and Dad have their suitcases, and off we go!  I just got home; I can go back to sleep when they are gone.  After all, I don’t get up until 7 or so, and it’s still dark outside!  Don’t know where they went, but I sure am gonna miss them.
