Sunday the 25th, Day 156 (part two!):

My tummy doesn't feel good.

I had my shots yesterday.

Shots is NO fun... I was very good for them, by the way. But now my tummy is ALL upset and yuckified.

I was laying around the house, lookin' sad, and Pa told Dad, "I put her food down an HOUR ago... and she wouldn't eat it." Dad was surprised. (I TOLD you I feel icky!!) Pa said, "No, she feels REALLY icky- I made myself an omlette... and I put part of it on top of her food to try and tempt her... and she won't even go NEAR it." Dad was REALLY surprised. ...he looked kind of worried.

He came over to snuggle me (I was laying on the futon, where the air conditioner blows on me) and Pa got up to get a popcicle.

Hmmm. Popcicle.

Pa waved the lime green thingy at me, and my nose said it was cold... and lime-smelling! Mmm... he said, "it's a popcicle, Berfa! little kids like popcicles when their tummies are sick..."

Hey, anything that's good enough for humans is good enough for me!

I guess he didn't mean to give me the WHOLE Popcicle... cause one second he was trying to 'tempt' me to lick it, and the next, I was running away with the whole thing in my mowf.

Dad laughed- because he didn't see anything in my mowf (I have a BIG mowf) and he thought I stole a bite... not the WHOLE thing!

Pa yelped, "No! She's got the STICK!" and he went bravely Rottie-Mowf-Diving.

I clearly said "I am not done with this YET!" but he reached right in, and pulled it out! hrmf.

He pulled out a kind of drooly-popcicle, and hrmf'd at me. "I didn't mean the whole thing, Berfa."

I think he was joking. Because then he held it for me, and Dad started teaching me this new trick.

It's called "nibble nibble". This is a LOT like "lick lick"- where he holds something YUMMY (like a yogurt cup!!!) and I get to lick out the inside... but because he says 'lick lick' I can't have the CUP... only the insides.

Apparently 'nibble nibble' involves not ingesting a wooden stick that the popcicle was attached to.

Mmmmmmm....

Lime-y.

I feel better now.
