Confused, Annoyed, and Exhausted



Hi all,

Sorry to be gone for so long! I have been very busy these days and VERY tired. I started therapy because I am FREAKING out about this crazy little being that has invaded my world. I think it might be a very small human but I am not sure. It all started late on Saturday May 19th -- Miri was acting very strangely and Tom was too. Miri kept getting on her hands and knees and acting like she was uncomfortable and Tom was looking at his watch a lot and writing stuff down. I heard them say words like contractions and lets see how far they are apart?!? I am not sure what they were talking about. Anyway, next thing I knew, they took me out to pee and then they left with a whole bunch of stuff. I just went to sleep and figured I'd see them later. Then Juan came over in the morning and picked me up! I ended up being with him for what seemed like a week! Then I came home and Miri and Tom were here and they smelled WEIRD! And they had this little being with them that was pretty much attached to Miri's chest and has been since I got back. I've been smelling him a lot to check him out and find out as much information as I can but the details are still murky to me.

I am confused and annoyed. Why is this being here? Why are they paying so much attention to him? Why does he wake up in the middle of the night screaming bloody murder? Why is he attached to Miri's chest? Why doesnt she have as much time to play with me? Why isnt she taking me on our walks in the morning? I miss her!

The being cries A LOT! And he makes all these strange noises. He also smells weird. And it seems like he makes a huge mess all the time. Miri and Tom are using that washing machine at least once a day if not more!

Miri and Tom also look exhausted and to be honest, they dont look that good. I am also tired and am annoyed that I am not getting my beauty rest. However, despite the tiredness, they seem very happy about this little being. Due to that happiness, I decided to take on a new role of protecting this being even though im still not sure how I feel about him. I can just tell that he is important to Miri and Tom and I want to make sure he stays safe so I bark at everyone that gets close to him. Its pretty fun being scary and imposing!

More later kids. I need to find out more information and Ill be back to update you soon.

In the meantime, Miri and Tom created a blog site for this little guy:

Check it out. Its a little embarrassing to be honest! But I am in some of the photos so you will at least think those ones are cute.

Love
Madeline

Hang in there, Maddie.

That creature that Tom and Miri are calling "Ben" (named for a great dog from Philadelphia!) will one day make a great companion for you. It's just these first months that will be a major pain. I'll come over and play with you some time soon.
