"Speedy!" The dog comes at its own pace. I'm lucky to have one. Jimmy never did, Then the yellow rot got him.He was my only friend, besides Speedy. Speedy's all I have since the spaghetties blew thru. Mom was in the field; Dad's been gone. I miss the lessons with Mom. She was a teacher, before.We had fun with lessons.

Speedy hasn't gotten here yet. Sometimes I think it only moves when I'm not looking. It's so lazy. I usually end up carrying it everywhere. Good dog, though. Not edible, which is probably why I've still got it. Cos it's an outdoor dog, doesn't like being confined.

Getting hungry, but there's nothing left but two cans of peas. I hate peas! I guess in the morning Speedy and I will go find food. Nothing came up in Mom's field, but plants must be growing somewhere.

"Come on, Speedy! Good dog."
