Something is going on around here, and mom doesn't think I've noticed.  But I have.

About three weeks ago dad went into the guest room closet.  He reached high up on the shelf and brought down these large, gray things that look like odd shaped boxes.  They have straps and wheels on them.  Nothing was in them, so I don't know why he bothered to bring them down.

Then, about two weeks ago, mom started putting little bottles and jars on a table in the guest room.

Last week, mom was on a cleaning frenzy.  She even had dad down on his hands and knees scrubbing the hardwood flooring.  I heard her say to dad, "You know how I hate coming home to a dirty house after we've been gone."

Where were they going?  Mom never did this stuff before when she went shopping, to the movies, or out to lunch with girlfriends.  I'm confused and a little frightened.

And did I mention mom and dad took me to the doctor's office?  They said something about a vaccination expiring.  Not only did I get a thermometer up my you-know-what along with a dipstick in the same place to get a sample of you-know-what, I was mauled practically to death.  A nice girl held me and spoke softly in my ear while the doctor prodded, pushed, and poked my legs and body.  He shined a light in my eyes, and looked deep into my ears.  He even pried my mouth open to check my teeth.  But that wasn't the worst of it.  That so-called doctor had this weird instrument that blew something into each of my nostrils.  That's when I drew the line.  I insisted I get taken back to mom and dad immediately.

But the kicker was when mom and dad sat in the living room and talked about me like I wasn't even there!

"I take Daisy on a 30 minute walk every day," mom said.  "I want to keep her as close to her normal routine as possible.  I'm sure she'll get her morning walk.  I also think she should get a 30 minute play date every day, too."

I wondered, What in tarnation is going on here?

Well, wonder no more.  Mom and dad are going away and NOT taking me with them!  They are going on vacation...without me...
