His Dogness

Dear Diary,

I have been doing lots of things during Christmas vacation. One of the things I have been doing is shopping. Momma took me and Doobins shopping. Sweet Kathy took me and Doobins shopping. Kim took me and Doobins shopping.

Wild Tim didn’t take me or Doobins shopping. He says he has better things to do with his life than shop. He said that, if we wanted, he would fill the back of his truck with water and let it freeze and then we could ride around in the back and slide around.

Me and Doobins liked that idea a lot but Momma said that we couldn’t.

Another thing that I have been doing is drawing a picture of the Nativity. I have been adding more things each day. First, I did the Baby Jesus and Mary and Joseph. Then I drew an angel above them. The angel is part of the heavenly host. I learned that in Sunday school.

After that I drew the shepherds. I thought that they would be easier than the wise men so I did them first. I did the wise men and then went back and drew some lambs for the shepherds.

With all the things going on, I have to stop drawing sometimes and do other things. I don’t mind stopping to go shopping and I don’t mind stopping to eat lunch. But sometimes I am not ready to stop when Momma comes in and says, “Time for Baby One and Baby Two to get ready for bed.”

I am Baby One because I was born first. Doobins is Baby Two because he was born second.

I was going to color the picture when I got all the lambs done and maybe after I put in some more angels.

This afternoon I went in to my room and Doobins was coloring my picture.

I said, “Doobins” real loud because I was upset.

Momma came in and said, “Doobins” real loud, too.

Sometimes he means to be mean. I know he didn’t mean to be mean this time. But it made me sad anyway.
