Vacation's Almost Over

Lady's friends have headed home. Now she has to get ready for school. What does that mean for me? I have her around the house for only a few more days until she is back in the school routine. My job is to let our landlady know when someone tries to open our gate. Two days ago, just two doors down, someone robbed our neighbor at 1:00 in the afternoon! Auntie S. depends on me to let her know when someone comes as she is alone most days. Now, I do let her know when strange dogs, or other male dogs I don't like walk by as well. I am a dog. I am territorial. I do a good job of letting my humans know when someone is too near. Once I see who it is, if it is a friend, I stop barking. I also run the kids off if they hang on the gate to beg. We always deliver their goodies. We don't ever give them stuff from the gate. If we did, they would be out there all the time crying, "Auntie, Auntie, Auntie." Sometimes, they do it anyway. Auntie S. doesn't like it and runs them off, too.
I get really muddy these days, as it is monsoon season and I am so low to the ground. I don't like to go out in the rain, but sometimes I will with my raincoat on. I don't have any boots because my nails are too long.
Lady and I have been busy cleaning the house and doing laundry. Last night she cooked up some chicken for me. That is true love. She mixes it in with my Pedigree dry food.
I don't get to go as many places in India as I did in China because they don't allow dogs in so many places here. Lady and I miss that. I used to go almost everywhere with her. SHe still takes to to school when she goes after hours to work. And she says I can go during preplanning. But I can't go when the students come because I will be too much of a distraction. I do get to go on special occasions, and the students come to see me. I will be homeschooled again. Yes, I still learn stuff. Write me at littledogmarley@hotmail.com
