Letting Butter Talk

Hello friends. I wanted to check in with you. Are you sad and lonely? Do you feel like Julie is neglecting you lately with her infrequent, brief posts?

You're not alone. She's been neglecting me too. After the high of having her wonderful family visit and lavish me with attention, I was in for a rude awakening last Monday when they all left. And then Conservative Boy went to work. And then Julie left too, which was strange and unusual and I didn't like it at all. Especially because she was gone all day. Then she was gone even longer on Tuesday. And the same thing happened Thursday too. (Thankfully, she was around all day Wednesday, or I would have been really distraught.)

As if that wasn't bad enough, Julie and Conservative Boy both left me—together, no less—early Friday morning and didn't return until Sunday afternoon. That's a long time for a dog like me to be without his parents, even if he does get to hang out at the Conservative Family house and play with Walker all weekend. I mean, it's fun and all, but why do they keep leaving me?

I'd like to promise you Julie will stop abandoning us soon, but I'm just not sure. She's been working all evening again and I heard her mention something about leaving bright and early in the morning. Is this going to be a regular occurrence? I sure hope not. I'll be one sad puppy.
