Yesterday Mommy was really sick, so she didn't go to work. Instead she stayed on this big cushy bed thing in the room with the big box with lots of people on it (I heard Daddy call it a TV). I did my best to make her feel better by making her pick me up and put me on that big cushy thing (I think she called it a couch), and then make her put me back down again, and then pick me up and put me back down. I did this a lot, so I know she must have been feeling lots better. When I wasn't wanting her to put me down again, I thought I would make her feel better by jumping on her face and then chewing on her hands.. I don't know why, but sometimes she would put me down on the floor before I wanted her too, so I would just bark at her until she picked me up again. I wanted to do whatever I could to make her all better.
When Daddy came home she decided to go to bed, but before she did, she scooped me up and tried this pretty yellow and blue dress on me. Like most things it was way to big on me, but then she started putting things in it to make it fit better. I thought it was pretty until she tried to put it on me, then it wasn't nearly so pretty anymore. Thankfully it was only on me for a few minutes before she went off to bed.
This morning, she got me up and she was wearing the same dress she tried to put on me last night (only in her size). I wasn't sure what was going on, but something told me I wasn't going to be too happy. Boy was I right. First, she put the dress on me from the night before, then she put a white jacket on over the top. She kept saying it would keep me warm. I didn't care, I just wanted to be out of all of it. Then she grabbed a white coat for herself and I noticed we looked exactly the same.
When we got to work, everyone who saw us thought we were really cute. Mommy kept saying I was her twin for twin day. I didn't know what that meant, at all. She did take me to class with her, which was fun, and everyone thought I looked really pretty, so I guess that was a good thing. During class they were talking about something called wood berry and spirit week. I didn't know what any of that meant, but I did hear Mommy say that's why we were dressed as twins. I saw some other students dressed up together too, so I guess it was okay, but I'm still confused about what wood berry is and why it is so special. I mean, I know what wood is because I got in trouble for eating a piece of it the other day. I found it outside and it was really fun to chew on but it made a big mess in Mommy's office and so she took it away from me. What I don't know is what a berry is and why you have to have a twin for a piece of wood or a berry? I do know what a banana is, because I have that every morning. Maybe a berry is like that. If it is, then it would make sense why everyone is so excited. Wood and banana's are great things, so maybe wood and berry's are too. They must be if they have a whole week to celebrate them! I just hope tomorrow I don't have to dress up again.
If someone out there knows what a wood berry is, maybe you can tell me. If not, maybe I'll start my own week and call it wood banana. I don't think I'll dress up though. I like me just the way I am.
Maizie, Woodberry is a school in Orange, VA that we play against each year in Football. Our game was on the 9th of November and, very sadly, we lost. We would have been at the game and you could have seen it first hand if you hadn't had to have shots and if I wasn't still sick.
