His Dogness

Dear Diary,

This morning, I was in the kitchen eating diamond cereal with milk, when I heard Momma say, “Yeewww.” She said “yeewww” the way she says it when she opens the front door and sees that our cat Poos has left something on the front porch.

Poos likes to give us presents. Momma doesn’t always like them. Once, he came into the house with a mouse in his mouth. The tail was sticking out.

When Momma yelled at him, he dropped it. The mouse was still alive and started running around in a circle. Momma yelled again. Poos picked it up. Momma picked him up and threw him out the front door.

He came and sat in one of the windows. Momma closed the curtain.

This morning, when I went to see what Momma was yeewwwing about, there was a mole. Momma closed the door. She went and got the phone and called Kim. She said, “When you come over this morning, make sure that you don’t step on the mole that Poos left.”

I went and got Doobins so that he could see the mole, too. By the time I got back to my diamond cereal it was soggy so I put some more cereal in it.

When Kim came over, he got a shovel and scooped up the mole and took it around back and threw it in that area under the trees. Momma calls it the jungle. One day, she is going to clean it up and plant some hostas. She said I could go with her to the garden shop and help pick them out.

For now, the jungle is a good place to throw moles.
