Dear Gavin , The sun was shining when we all woke up and I thought it was going to be a great day . I was wrong . Gramma was sitting on Papa 's sofa drinking that stuff she calls coffee . She usually sits on her sofa with us , but she was kind of crabby and said that we took up all the room . I 'm sure she didn 't mean me ; it was probably Oscar and Emmy and that cat , Gremlin . Oscar said to leave her alone and let her drink her coffee . Well , the thing is , I didn 't want her to sit on Papa 's sofa . Okay , I 'm going to tell you what happened , okay ? It was like this . . . . . you remember that gourd thing I told you about that I kind of tried to eat ? Rememeber , I threw up in the floor and had that poopy accident . Okay , I told you that was the day that Gramma was mad at Papa about the gutter . I told you that Gramma cleaned it all up and I didn 't even get in trouble ? Okay , what I didn 't tell you was that I also threw up on Papa 's sofa . It went down in the cushions and you couldn 't even see it . Well , when Papa sat on the sofa he said it stunk . Gramma sniffed the air and said she didn 't smell any thing . Papa kept saying that he smelled something bad and he asked me what I had been into . I tried to just look cute and turn my head to one side , he likes that . Well , Gramma made all of us take a bath last night just in case her nose wasn 't working . I guess you know what I am about to tell you , huh ? Gramma was sitting there on Papa 's sofa , drinking her coffee and looking on the computer . All of a sudden she sniffed the air . I sat very , very still . Then she got up and moved the whole sofa to the middle of the room and took all of the cushions off . I went and hid under the big table , as far under as I could get . She got out that vacuum and she started cleaning everything . then she went and got out some special leather cleaning stuff and some cleaning rags . Papa came in and asked her what she was doing . She said , " I smell it . " He said , " You smell what ? " She said , " Whatever you were smelling and it is gross . " Papa looked at the pile of cushions and sPosted by Dear Gavin , Gramma keeps singing this song about snow . I wondered what was wrong with her , winter is over , isn 't it ? I have been running and playing in the wonderful warm sunshine for weeks ! Then she took me out and there was SNOW ! Lots and lots of it ! I ran through it and peed , but when Emmy came out she kind of sunk down in it . She looked pretty funny . Her legs are really short . I wonder why ? Oscar 's legs are short , too . Mine aren 't . I can step over the snow and I can jump a lot higher than they can . I haven 't been in much trouble lately . Well , I did do this one thing and Gramma scolded me . I sometimes use the tables in the living room to get on and off the sofa ; you know , like a short cut . Well , Gramma went to get groceries yesterday and I was on the chair with Oscar watching out the window for her to come back . It got kind of boring and there is this tall table by the chair . Gramma has these things , she calls them gourds , in a bowl on that table . They looked kind of interesting and they aren 't very big ( she said they were baby gourds , whatever that means ) . So I took one and I was going to chew it up . This was a bad idea , let me tell you ! Those things taste awful ! I couldn 't get the taste out of my mouth and I threw up . I threw up so hard that I had a poopy accident ! ! ! ! Gramma got really wet in the rain while she unloaded the car and she was really mad at Papa . She was talking to herself , so all of us dogs decided it wouldn 't be a good idea to bother her . She was saying something about gutters . What are gutters ? Well , the good thing is that she was so mad at Papa that she just cleaned up my poopy and throw - up and then she told me not to get on her table again . That was all . She didn 't even make me get in the kennel ! I tell you , I like it when Papa is in trouble . Emmy said that when she is mad at somebody else you can get away with doing bad things and she won 't even notice sometimes . This is good to know . I will try to remember this . I hope you had a good weekend . Gramma said you went to a sleepover with Maya anPosted by Dear Gavin , For just how long will your dog be here with us ? Last night was just awful . He kept digging his claws into my side . He won 't let anyone clip them ; however , I can 't hold that against him since I won 't allow mine to be trimmed either . He is really slow at learning the rules . Not your Gramma 's rules . MY rules . Every day I have to remind him that I am the number one dog here . ME , not him . He presumes to eat out of my food dish and I allow it ; but , dude , he is sloppy . He keeps getting food in the water dish . This is simply not acceptable . Have you ever had to drink behind some one who gets their food in the drink ? Gross ! Then , there is the issue with Emmy . She is my wife - dog and now she plays with HIM all the time , instead of me . Also not acceptable . But the most annoying thing is that he is always kissing my mommy ( your Gramma ) . He tries to sit by her every time she sits down . If I am there in the chosen spot he will get on top of me and worm his way between us . I really hate that . If I growl at him , I get scolded . I do not like it - - no , not at all ! When bed time arrives he tries to get in my favorite sleeping spot . This is just wrong . I have always slept right next to my mommy 's leg and I can promise you this . . . . I will bite him if he keeps this behaviour up . I hope that you will speak to him about this . I do like him , but there is a limit to what I can tolerate ! With love , Your Uncle - Dog , Oscar Dear Gavin , I have been watching Oscar . You know he 's a lot older than me , right ? Well , I was thinking he might know some important things that I might need to know . I know , I know , I could just ask him . He gets all uppity and acts all superior , though . I was watching him today and I noticed that he lifts his leg to pee . Am I supposed to be doing that ? I just squat and it works for me . Emmy squats to pee , I have never seen her lift her leg , but maybe that 's because she hurt her back and had surgery . About that ; I still don 't know what surgery is . Oscar said that all he knew was that Emmy had to go and stay at a dog hospital and when she came back she had a cut on her back and she couldn 't walk very good . He said he got in trouble for licking her cut , Gramma said he was going to lick her stitches out . Neither one of us know what stitches are . Gee there are so many things I don 't know . Back to the lifting your leg to pee thing ; I tried it . I didn 't like it . I must not have lifted my leg high enough , cause I got pee on my foot . I didn 't know Gramma was spying on me through the window in her kitchen . She laughed at me ! She said , " Nice try , buddy , you 'll get it soon . " Then she washed my foot . I like her even when she spies on me . How long did it take you to learn to pee the right way ? I miss you , don 't forget you are my boy . I love you . Your dog , Wall - E Dear Gavin , I ran out the front door today . I knew I was going to get in trouble , but I didn 't care ! I ran like the wind . It rained yesterday and in some place the grass was squishy and the water was splashing up on my belly while I ran . It was great ! I was having the time of my life . I heard Gramma calling me . She said , " Wall - E , come here NOW ! " But I kept running . I was jumping up , too . It was great , I tell you ! I heard Gramma say that she had the ball , I didn 't care , though . Then Oscar came out and we were running together . I think Gramma thought he was going to help catch me . Ha ha ha to her ! She even tried to trick me by saying that she had treats for us . I am too smart for her ! She threw a stick to me and tried to get me to bring it back , but I didn 't fall for that one , either . I ran to her and jumped up into the air , I used her leg like a springboard to jump even higher . It was fantastic ! Then Papa came with his truck . He tried to trick me into getting in . I didn 't fall for it though , I ran some more . Oscar wussed out on me and got into the truck with Papa . Then Papa got very angry and I got scared and I ran to Gramma . . . . after I smeared some smelly cat poop on my neck . Gramma put me in the tub and she was telling me what a bad boy I was while she washed me . I kind of like a bath . Gramma uses nice warm water and the dog shampoo she uses make my hair silky and soft . I wasn 't worried about her being mad . I knew she wouldn 't stay mad long . Hey , I 'm cute and lovable . See , I am sitting right here in her lap now ! She even gave me some popcorn . I like it here a lot . . . . . . . but I miss my boy . Don 't forget I love you . Your dog , Wall - E Dear Gavin , Wow , did Oscar ever get in trouble today ! Gramma let me and him out first thing this morning . We were running and playing . The wind was blowing really hard and Oscar saw this board was loose on the fence . The wind was making it move ! We went over to it and Oscar said he thought that if we pushed it we could get out and go exploring . I told him I was trying to not get in trouble cause I didn 't want Gramma to be mad at me and not hold me . He said it would be lots of fun . He said that some times you can chase those ducks that get in the pond and even if the ducks aren 't there , we can mark lots of places with our pee . So , I said okay . Oscar said he would go first , since he is the boss of all of us animals . He is brave , too . I mean it , some things scare me , but he isn 't scared of anything . Well , except , maybe Gramma . Well , he got out and I was going to go with him , but it was really tight and I couldn 't get through . Oscar said , " Push , you have to push the board with your head and then squeeze through . " I was still a little afraid and I asked , " Are you sure it won 't hurt ? " Then he said , " Fine , stay inside the fence , then . I won 't wait for you forever ! " I was just pushing through , I could see the tractor , and then all of a sudden some hands pulled me back and Gramma was holding me ! She said , " Oh , no you don 't , you little rascal , I 've got you now . " I thought I was in for it , but she asked me , " Where is that devil , Oscar ? " She took me inside and then she went out the front door , in her robe ! She called , " OSCAR , OSCAR , YOU HAD BETTER COME HERE NOW ! " He didn 't , though . She was not happy . She shut the door and went around to the back of the house . When she came back she was carrying Oscar . She was still talking to him . She told him he was a bad boy and that it was even worse than bad because he taught me to do a bad thing . She said she was very disappointed in him and that he should go think about what he had done . Then she told Papa what he did and Papa took a drill and some screws to fix the fence . Today is PapaWall - E Dear Gavin , Oh , my boy , there were lots of people here this weekend ! Oscar said to just wait until it gets really warm outside and there will be people every where ! The only thing I didn 't like was that Gramma stayed in that store all day ! Papa came in and out , but he didn 't play with us . Gramma made sure we got to go outside and we had food and water , but I wanted to sit in her lap . She said she had to take care of her customers . What is customers ? Emmy said that it was all those people that kept making the buzzer go off when they came in the store . Oscar was right , I did get tired of barking at that buzzer . Gramma gave me a kiss and told me I was a good boy for not barking , I guess she didn 't know I was just tired . I am glad that she held me , even if it was only for a little bit . If you were here you would hold me , wouldn 't you ? I was glad when it got dark and Gramma " locked up " . I thought she would sit down so we could write my letter to you , but she still had some work to do . She said , " Wall - E , Gramma still has to clean the restrooms , little elves don 't come in the night and do it , you know ! " What are elves ? Will they hurt me ? If they come in the night , why don 't they clean the bathrooms ? If they don 't clean the bathrooms , what do they do ? Should I hide ? All I know is that Oscar and Emmy sleep underneath the covers , maybe that 's why . I slept under the covers after Gramma said that . Let me tell you , I snuggled real close to Gramma . . . . just in case ! Gramma worked in the store for awhile this morning and now she is holding me . Oscar said not to get used to it , though . He said that when the pool opens she will be busy all day long . " What is a pool ? " I asked . Emmy said it was that big thing outside with the fence around it . I saw it when Papa was playing with us the other day . Emmy said they fill it with water and people come out here to swim in it . What is swim ? Oscar told me that you can float on top of the water and move your legs and glide across the water . People like to do this when it is hot outside . Do I kPosted by Dear Gavin , Gramma says the season has begun . What is a season ? She said I will have to quit barkingevery time the buzzer goes off when someone comes in the store . I thought I was supposed to bark . Isn 't that my job ? Someone comes to the door and the dog barks , right ? It is what we do , we are helping . We are letting our people know that something out of the ordinary is happening . So , I guess she wants me to not do my job . Another rule to learn . Oscar said to just chill out , cause pretty soon that buzzer will be going all day long and if we bark at it every time we will lose our voices . I have never lost my voice , does it hurt ? Have you ever lost your voice , Gavin ? I would not like it if you couldn 't call my name . See all those big trailers in the picture ? Gramma calls them rigs ; she 'll say , " Jump down out of my lap , I see a rig pulling in . " Then she will go in the store and the buzzer will go off and I will bark and she will say " Excuse me , please " to the people in the store and then she will call my name and say , " I said no more barking ! " Then I will feel kind of dumb because I forgot about not barking again . Today when it happened again I was going to lay down in Emmy 's bed . Gramma made a special cover for Emmy 's pillow . It is really soft like your blanket and it has these knots tied all the way around it . I was playing with one knot and it was really fun to untie it . I don 't know how it happened , but I kind of untied all the knots . . . . . . again . Emmy was mad at me . She said I ruined her bed . I tried to tie it all back , but I couldn 't . Gramma wasn 't too happy about it . She said it takes thumbs to tie and that I don 't have any - - - how come I don 't ? Papa took us out to run ! I ran and ran ! It was so much fun . I can run faster than Oscar ! He didn 't like that , but I can get the ball faster than he can . Emmy is real fast . Some times she grabs Oscar 's neck with her teeth and holds on while he is running . Papa said that we would sleep better after we ran . I found a stick I liked and Gramma said I could bring it in the housWall - E Dear Gavin , Gramma left me with Papa and went somewhere . I didn 't want her to go . Papa went outside and left us all alone . He didn 't leave anybody in charge and he didn 't even tell us that he loved us ! Gramma always tells us who is in charge and she always says to be good and that she loves us . Well , since nobody was in charge . . . . . . I kind of did a bad thing . Gramma put everything up where I can 't reach it , but she left this box full of tissues on that table by the sofa . I thought she wouldn 't care if I used some . Hey , I saw her put them up to her nose , then she honked and then she threw it away . I was just going to try to do that , but when my mouth got on it it stuck to it and I had to shake my head to get it off . So , I tried it again and the same thing happened . I kept trying and before I knew it the box was empty , so I chewed the box up . And that is how Papa found me . He brought my kennel in and tried to make me get in it . I ran from him and he left me alone . He told Gramma about it and she asked him if he had bothered to clean the throw - up out of it yet . He pretended not to hear her , but he didn 't clean it and I am not going to get in it until he does . Emmy agreed with me and said she wouldn 't , either . Gramma made him take the kennel back out again . Then all of a sudden , Gramma looked at me and said , " Oh , no ! " I thought I was in trouble , but then she said she forgot to take her film to WalMart . Then she said , " I could just kick myself ! " What ? She only has two legs , how would she do that ? I bet that would look pretty funny , huh ? Well , that 's about all that happened today . How was your day ? I sure do miss you and hope you write soon . Don 't forget I love you and you are my boy ! Your little white dog , Wall - E Dear Gavin , I am having a great day ! I haven 't gotten into any trouble ! Gramma said the day is not over yet . What is that supposed to mean ? I have been playing outside a lot today . The sun is shining and it is 70 degrees . Gramma told me this . I 'm not sure what it all means , but I am really having fun . Emmy and I ran and ran all over the back yard , then Oscar and I played with his ball . He would take it from me , then I would take it from him . It was so much fun . Gramma said she would have to take us in when she mowed the grass . What is mow ? Oscar said it is very loud and he doesn 't like it , but when it is over we can see everything on the ground . I 'm not sure about this , I will let you know . Gramma said I could put another picture on here for you . I am looking at you , can you tell ? Looking straight at you ! See how big I am getting ? I miss you . Are you growing , too ? I wish I could see you . Don 't forget , you are my boy and I love you . Your dog , Wall - E Dear Gavin , When am I going to get all these rules straight ? Gramma told me to never chew a shoe again , okay , I got that . She said to never chew her plants again , I am working on that one . She never , ever said ANYTHING about the Sunday newspaper ! She left us alone for awhile today . She went with Papa to see a lady about some sewing thing . Well I saw her cutting up the paper . . . . she left it on the table and I could reach it . I thought she wanted it in pieces . I don 't know what the big deal is . When she came in the door and saw it she yelled for Papa . I was hoping she was going to blame him , but she just pointed at the paper and said for him to look at what I did . How did she know I did it ? She didn 't even ask Oscar or Emmy if they did it . Emmy was all wagging her tail and smiling at Gramma . She is such a tattle - tale , sometimes I just want to bite her ! Oscar didn 't do anything to help me , but at least he wasn 't happy that I was in trouble again . He told me that before I came he used to get blamed for everything . I guess that 's why he likes having me around . Well , Gramma says we all have to go outside and play because the weather is nice . I am kind of bummed out about the newspaper thing and I just want to take a nap and forget about it , but she said " You , too , Mister ! " She calls me Mister when I am bad . Rules , I don 't think I will ever learn all these rules . I hope your day is going better than mine . Don 't forget that I love you . I am just waiting for the day when I can live with my boy again . . . . . Your dog , Wall - E Dear Gavin , Gramma isn 't mad anymore ! She held me last night and told me that she wants me to be a good boy and I can 't chew up her shoes anymore . . . or her plants . I will really try to be good , I promise . We got up really early today . Gramma said she has something called insomnia and she can 't sleep . I am glad I don 't have it , cause I really like sleeping . All of us dogs got up with her , but after I went out and peed I got back in the warm bed with Papa . Hey I am still a puppy , I need my rest ! Gramma was cleaning the house - - I could hear her , but Papa slept and slept . Gramma told me later that it annoys her that Papa can sleep and she can 't . After Papa got up , I did , too . I went and got on the sofa with Oscar and took a little nap . After that some people Gramma knows came in the store and I had to go and let them look at me . They touched me , too . I liked the lady , she was nice . She was pretty , too . Oscar came out in the store and barked and growled at the people . Papa had to come get him and he got in trouble . Gramma said that one time Oscar went in the store and peed on a man 's shoes ! Can you believe that ? I thought it was pretty cool , but I am way too scared to do that tosomebody . I bet he got in big , big trouble when he did that , don 't you ? Anyway , after that I played outside with Emmy for awhile and then we took another nap . Gramma worked in the store and Papa went to work at his other job . Then she woke me up when some other people came in the store . They came in the house to look at me . The man was a giant ! I thought it was Gramma coming around the corner , so I got down and was going to go see her and I saw the man , " Whoa , " I said to myself , " I don 't know about this guy ! " Oscar told me his name is Bob and he 's cool . Oscar said to get used to him , cause he comes over a lot when the weather is warm and he will play ball with us . The lady was very gentle with me and I liked her , I licked her hand and she thanked me . I liked her a lot . Emmy was all jealous , so the lady ( Oscar told me her name is Karen and that shPosted by Dear Gavin , Are coming to get me soon ? Like . . . today . . . or tomorrow ? I wish you would . I got in really big trouble today and Gramma is really , really , really mad at me . She said to go away from her right now , that she doesn 't want to see my face . She said , " That 's it , mister , you have really made me mad , now ! " What can I do to make her not be mad at me ? I tried to get in her lap and give her a hug , but she said , " Down with you , don 't even think about it , I am mad ! " You see what happened is that she went to the grocery store and Papa was outside on this big thing that moves rocks and dirt . She said it was my turn to be in charge while she was gone . I was excited because I have never been in charge before . Oscar was laying on the couch and he kind of chuckled at me and said I would probably mess up . Emmy was mad , she said it was supposed to be her turn and that cat , Gremlin just looked at me and sniffed . Granma closed the gate to the back of the house and there was nothing in the kitchen to play with , she even put the cat food up where I couldn 't reach it . . . . . but there were these shoes in the living room . I knew they were Gramma 's because they smelled like her and I have seen her wear them to go get firewood . I was just going to lay my head on them while she was gone , really , that 's all . But I licked one and I liked the way it tasted and one thing led to another and I kind of chewed it up . Emmy was sitting in her bed that Papa built just for her and telling me that I was in trouble . She acts all special all the time and she was singing ' you 're gonna be in trouble , you 're gonna be in trouble ' . She hardly ever gets in trouble and even when she does they treat her all special just cause she broke her back and had to have surgery . That cat was just sitting on the back of the chair looking outside and sniffing at me . He acts all superior , like he is a king or something . Oscar was trying to tell me to hide my mess , but I couldn 't find anywhere to hide it . That made me mad , so I jumped up in the chair to make that stupid caPosted by Dear Gavin , I hope you had a good day . I didn 't . Gramma made me wear a sweater , that 's what she called it , anyway . I was a little cold and so was Emmy , so all of a sudden there was Gramma with these sweater things in her hand . She told me I would be nice and warm if I would let her put it on me . You don 't really have a choice if Gramma decides you are going to do something . She put it on me and right away I didn 't like it . I put my ears down and she knew I was not happy . She got out her camera and said she was going to take my picture , so I ran from her and hid under the table . I guess her joints weren 't hurting today because she crawled under that table and got me out ! I thought about bitingher , but I remember what happened last time I tried that and she bit me back . She put me on the couch and said I looked adorable . She put Emmy 's sweater on and put her on the couch with me . She likes sweaters . I don 't . It was tight . Gramma said that it was supposed to fit snugly ( whatever that means ) , but I said it was tight . It has purple and gold stripes and she told me that I was a Minnesota Viking 's fan . I don 't know what that means , do you ? She took pictures of me in that stupid sweater , so I guess you will see those soon . She finally let me take it off . I jumped up gave her a kiss . She liked that and she picked me up , so I gave her a hug , too . Then , just when I was feeling good she told me she would make me another outfit . Why would she do that ? Oscar told me that on Halloween she made him wear a hot dog suit . I hope she doesn 't do that to me . All I need is a collar , thank you very much ! Does your mom have sweaters for you ? Do you like them ? I saw your picture on that letter you wrote to me . I miss you , my boy . You aren 't going to get another dog and be his boy are you ? I wouldn 't like that , not at all ! Don 't forget , you are my boy and I love you very much . Your dog , your only dog , Wall - E Dear Gavin , Look ! Gramma put my picture in my profile ! I know it 's not a very good one . Papa took it and I wouldn 't look up at him . Gramma took some pictures with her camera , but she has to get them developed . She told me it was the old fashioned way to do it . She had to put this little tube inside her big camera , she told me that it was called film . She said she is going to take it to WalMart on Friday and the will get they pictures off of the film and she will bring them home . Have you ever heard of such a thing ? Papa just plugged his camera into the computer and there I was ! ! It was cold here today , but I still played outside . Emmy didn 't want to go out , though . Oscar played with me for awhile . Gramma was busy all day . She called it spring cleaning . She washed EVERYTHING ! I am glad she didn 't wash me again . I was very careful outside so I wouldn 't get anything on my fur . Do you know how hard it is to wear white all the time and not get dirty ? Well , I can tell you , it 's not easy ! I hope you had fun today with Molly and Minnie . I miss them , too . Tell them I said " hi " , okay ? Tell Grampa and Other Gramma " hi " from me , too . I hope I get to see you soon . Don 't forget , you are my boy ! I love you . Your dog , Wall - E Dear Gavin , It has rained all day and I am so bored . I wish I could go out to play , but ever since the bath , Gramma watches me and only lets me stay out long enough to pee or poop - - she calls it doing my business . Why does she say that ? " Wall - E , hurry up and do your business . " Sounds like I carry a doggie briefcase full of poop out there to empty it . Last night wasn 't so good for Emmy . I was just laying in bed trying to sleep , but Emmy kept moving and licking me . Finally Gramma told her to be still and I fell to sleep . Then all of a sudden I felt Gramma jump out of the bed . " Darn it " , she said . Papa said , " What is wrong ? " . Gramma was pulling her night shirt off and gagging , I heard her say dog puke . Boy , was I scared ! What if she thinks I did it ? Then I heard her say it was Emmy . I felt bad for Emmy , cause I know how bad her stomach was hurting , but I was glad I wasn 't the one who made a mess . Gramma was a little crabby again today , but she played with me . She doesn 't like it when you lick her toes , though . She took my picture today . She said she was going to put some pictures of me in this blog so you can see how big I am now . I have a new collar . It is called a choke chain . Gramma says I look buff with it on . I wonder what that means ? I have to go outside now , Gramma is singing that song " It 's night - night pee - pee time . . . . . . " We all go out one more time and then we go to bed . I love you and miss you . . . . . don 't forget you are my boy ! Your dog , Wall - E Dear Gavin , I hope you had a better day than me . It rained most all day here and I didn 't get to play outside much . I went out this morning before the rain started and I was walking in the mud . I liked the way it squished between my toes , so I decided to rub my face and neck in it . I thought I had most of it off of me . But , I didn 't and Gramma saw it . She said " Wall - E , what have you been into ? " I hid under the table in front of the couch and wouldn 't come out even when she lied to me and said she had a treat for me . I knew she was just saying that so that I would come out and she could grab me and put me in that bath tub . She has been saying how her joints were hurting so I knew she wouldn 't crawl under the table to get me . When I thought it was safe I came out to play with Emmy . I guess you know what happened . Gramma grabbed me and put me in the tub . . . . . . Oscar and Emmy , too . Now they are mad at me . They said it was my fault that we had to get a bath . I tried to jump out of the tub while Gramma was bathing Emmy . That wasn 't a good idea . I got Gramma all wet and I fell down twice . When the bath was finally over Oscar was running all over the house , so I thought he wanted to play with me . He didn 't . He was still mad about the whole bath thing and after I tried to play with him on the floor he jumped up on the couch . So I thought he wanted to play on the couch . Well , I was wrong . He bit me ! It hurt ! I yelped and ran to Gramma . She held me and now she 's not mad at me . I feel better now that I have told you all this . Gramma says tomorrow will be a better day . I wish you were here to hold me . Gramma put my kennel outside . It still smells like you and I am sad . I threw up in it , though and Gramma said she would have to clean it up later . Do you think she will wash all your smell away ? I hope not . Maybe you will come to seeme soon and I can get your smell on my blanket again . Don 't forget that you are my boy ! I love you . Your dog , Wall - E Dear Gavin , Something really strange happened last night . Gramma was talking and holding that thing she calls a phone to her head . She does that sometimes , I don 't know why . Anyway , she picked me up and put that phone thing by my ear . . . . I could hear you calling my name ! But , where were you ? It sounded like you were inside that phone thing . . . but you couldn 't be , it was way too little to hold you ! Oh , No ! Did something happen to my boy ? How could my boy get in that phone ? I looked and I looked , but I couldn 't find you in this house anywhere ! Gramma told me to calm down after she put that phone away . She walked all through the house with me to show me that you weren 't here , then she held me and told me that you were in Minnesota with your mom and that you were fine . I hope so , Gramma is usually right about everything . . . . . . Papa said so . Guess what ? Did you know there is another room here with a big bed in it ? Gramma let me see it last night when I was looking for you , she said it was dog - free zone . She said that means I can 't go in there , Oscar and Emmy can 't either . Before I got scared by that phone tonight , there were some people in the store . Every time someone comes in the store Gramma takes me out there and the people look at me . Sometimes she lets them touch me ! I get scared , but she holds me close to her and takes me back in the house with Oscar and Emmy . Sometimes Oscar and Emmy go in the store to see people they know . They like it , but I don 't know about that . I think I will stay in the house . Gramma says I have to learn to shut - up when the buzzer goes off . Emmy never barks at it , but Oscar barks with me . . . hey , we are just trying to help . Please don 't shrink and go in that phone thing again , okay ? Don 't forget , you are my boy and I love you ! Your dog , Wall - E Dear Gavin , I was going to send you a letter yesterday . I was sad because you never writeme . Gramma said it 's cause your mom is lazy . She is probably right ; I know you would write to me if you knew how . Gramma said we are going to blog from now on . I didn 't know what that was , so I turned my head to one side and folded one ear down when I looked at her . She is kind of smart about us dogs . She explained it to me . She is really crabby today cause of what I did last night . In my letter yesterday I was telling you about that crazy cat Gremlin . Sometimes he eats stuff and then yaks it up . The other day he ate pizza with Papa and when he yakked it up . It still smelled pretty good so I ate some of it . It was pretty good , so I have been watching him now . Well yesterday I must have eaten something wrong . I wasn 't feeling so good when we went to bed . Gramma was reading a book and she took us all out one last time while Papawas already sleeping . A little while later I wanted to go out again , so I jumped out of the bed . Boy , she gets mad when you wake her up . She told me to get back in that bed and go to sleep . I ran from her and went to my kennel and she said , " Fine , mister , you can sleep there . " She went back to bed . I tip - toed back into the bedroom , but she heard me . She told me to get in bed again and she put me there and told me to go to sleep . She went to sleep and boy , was my stomach hurting ! I tried to get out of the bed , I really did , but I threw up on the covers , then I jumped down and threw up on the floor . Gramma took me out and cleaned up my mess and she wasn 't mad at me anymore ! While we were outside Papa woke up and got the oust spray and sprayed it all over the bedroom . Whew , that really stunk then and he got in big trouble with Gramma ! She was coughing and then she couldn 't go back to sleep , oh , was she mad at him ! Gramma said she is old and needs her sleep . Hey , maybe she should take some naps , that 's what us dogs do . Gramma washed all the sheets and stuff today , then she put them outside on this line with sPosted by My name is Wall - E . I live with Gramma and Papa in Missouri . I used to live in Minnesota with my boy , Gavin . Gavin is four years old and the best boy a dog could have . I miss him a lot , but I am having fun here at Gramma 's house . There is a yard I can play in without a leash . I have new friends , too . Oscar is the boss of all us dogs here . He is kind of old and sometimes he gets tired of playing with me and he will growl at me . One time he kind of bit me , so when he growls I leave him alone . He has a wife - dog , her name is Emmy . She is fun to run with in the back yard . She is very little and Gramma says I have to be careful and not hurt her . When Emmy was a young dog like me she broke her back and had to have surgery . I really hope that never happens to me ! There is a cat , too . To be honest , I am really scared of him . Every time he comes near me I pee on myself . Oscar says he is very old . Oscar said he was old when he came to live with Gramma . There is a cat that lives outside , too . Her name is Spooky and she never comes inside - - I am REALLY scared of her . I like Papa the best , but I really like to sit in Gramma 's lap . Sometimes we all get in Gramma 's lap ; me and Oscar and Emmy . It is really crowded like that . Usually Emmy sits with Papa , and me and Oscar sit with Gramma . Sometimes that cat ( Gremlin is his name ) will make me get out of her lap . I don 't like that . That is when I start to miss my boy , Gavin . I hope he reads this soon and tells his mom to bring him to Gramma 's house to see me . I will never forget that he is my boy and the very first person I loved . I am a small white dog with goofy ears that stand up when I am happy . I used to live with my boy , Gavin , in a place called Minnesota . Three years ago I came to live with Gramma and Papa in Missouri . I wrote letters to my boy to tell him abot my life here at the campground . Not too long ago , Gramma found a little white puppy that looked a lot like me when I was a pup . This new pup was named Max by my boy and now Max lives with my boy in Minnesota . Max needs my advice and sage wisdom to keep him out of trouble .
