This morning, I am sleeping pretty well. Last night, my Mom and Dad had their great niece, Addy, over for a few hours while Annie and Vicki went to a show here in town. At first, I wasn't sure what it was all about. There was this small creature crawling around on the floor everywhere. My Mom and Dad were following her around here and there and seemed to be very focused on her movements. Several times, I was sure I had it figured out. She was here to play with me! She was about my size and she like to play ball. We threw the ball back and forth several times. I barked my "I would love to play with you" bark really loud in the hallway where it echoed back and forth against the walls. It was a little disappointing when my Mom told me "That's enough!" at the same time, she is removing the small creature's fingers from near the electrical outlet.
My favorite time of the evening was when Dad fed Addy some of his food. There were a few bites that didn't quite make it to her mouth. Those were mine! Then, there was the time that Addy and I enjoyed pulling out all of my toys from my toy box. Then, she put them back in! I was especially interested in a few toys in Addy's bag but I was told they were off-limits. That didn't stop me from trying to get them out of the play pen bed.
My Mom and Dad held Addy for a while when she seemed to be getting very tired. Finally, my Mom put her in the play pen bed where she played for a little while watching TV. My Mom and Dad were sitting near her and I did, too. When Addy started to relax, I started to relax and took my place on the floor next to her bed.
After escorting my Mom upstairs for her bath, I came back down to Addy's bed. She was asleep by then and I laid down next to her again. This is where I stayed until Annie and Vicki came back to get Addy. Wow. Baby sitting is a fun job but I'm tired.
