Mood Swings and Valentines Day

Lindsay has ta stay in the lab now. She said that the Mac person told her that she had ta stop workin' in the field. She wasn't happy, but Danny said that the Mac person was right. Lindsay threw a pillow at him, an then he started ta tickle her. She said it wasn't fair for him ta do that cause she couldn't move as fast as she used ta. Lindsay is really fat now. I don't know why. She also goes ta the bathroom all the time. She still eats really weird stuff too.

Danny says that we hafta be patient with her, cause bein' pregnant means ya get somethin' called mood swings. I know what swings are; the kids in the park play on them. I don't see no swings in our place. I don't think Danny tells the truth most of the time.

Lindsay was complainin' that we didn't have enough room for the baby. So we got to move to a new apartment. I like it cause there ain't so many stairs. There ain't no cats here neither, which is great. Anyways, after we moved in, Lindsay said that we had to fix up a room for the baby. How come the baby gets its own room an I hafta sleep in the livin' room? It ain't right!

So Lindsay decided that the baby's room had ta have special furniture an new paint on the walls. I tried ta help her fix up the room, but she just got mad an told me that I have ta stay out of the way. I didn't do nothin' bad. Just cause I ran through some of the paint stuff she got real upset. Danny laughed when he came home an said that Lindsay was mad cause of the mood swings. Lindsay said it was because of doggy tracks in paint all over the house. I had ta get a bath, so I guess it was a bad thing that I messed up the baby's room. I didn't do it on purpose. Danny said I just have to say I'm sorry. How come I gotta say I'm sorry? I didn't do nothing wrong. I just wanted ta help, cause Lindsay says she's always tired.

When Lindsay was out of the room, Danny said that was a mood swing an we was goin' ta hafta wait till the baby was here for her to be normal again. Why does it take so long for the baby ta get here? Can't ya just go pick it up at the store?

Anyways, I decided not ta go back into the baby's room. The baby isn't even here an already I get in trouble cause of it. That ain't fair. Lindsay didn't stay mad too long. She gave me a hamburger for dinner and said that Mitzi was comin' over for a stay over visit. She said that it was Valentine's Day, an Greg and Stacey was going on an over night trip. Danny said that he an Lindsay were goin' out ta dinner. He said that they couldn't go dancing' like she wanted cause she is pregnant. He told me that he had a special surprise for her. He didn't tell me what it was. He used ta tell me everythin' an now he don't, I bet it's the baby's fault.

So Mitzi come over ta see me an we was talkin' bout the baby. Mitzi said that Stacey said that the reason that Lindsay is fat is cause the baby has ta grow inside her belly for a long time an then it gets born. I don't believe it. Mitzi said it was true, an that I would see for myself in a few months. Now that's just weird. Lindsay gave Mitzi a ribbon and tied it around her collar. She said it was red for Valentines Day an a present from me. How come the humans do that, say that presents are from me when they aren't? Mitzi licked my face an I decided that it was okay after all. What does red mean?

I told Mitzi about tryin' ta help with the baby's room an mood swings. She didn't know what that meant either. Humans have lots of words that I don't understand. It ain't right. So Danny an Lindsay came back home an when it was time to sleep Lindsay took off Mitzi's new ribbon. Why she gotta do that, I liked it on Mitzi. Did I mention that Mitzi's a good lookin' dame? She smells great too.

When the sun came back, I got ta have breakfast with Mitzi, and Danny and Lindsay. Lindsay was all happy cause she said that Danny gave her a gift certificate for a spa day. I asked Mitzi what a spa day was but she didn't know neither. I gotta find someone from my kind that knows what all the human words mean.

Greg and Stacey came ta get Mitzi. I was really happy when we moved cause it was a lot closer ta where Mitzi lives an now we mostly go on all of our walks together. She had ta lick my face when she left, but I didn't care if Danny laughed. At least Mitzi ain't a weird actin' pregnant human.

Danny said that we was goin' ta spend the next day with his friends because Lindsay was goin' ta the spa with her friends. He said that she would be lots happier when she got home, so I don't care if she goes for the whole day cause I don't want her to smell nervous an mad no more. I don't think that Danny likes it neither.

Lindsay let me sit on the couch next ta her that night. I put my head on her stomach and the weirdest thing happened. Something moved in her stomach an hit me in the face. I almost fell off the couch. I growled at her stomach, an Lindsay wanted ta know why I was so upset. I wouldn't get back up on the couch. I decided ta hide underneath it instead. Danny made me come out an he told me the same thing that Mitzi did, that the baby was kickin' an that's what I felt. I didn't like it. I didn't do nothin'. How come it want's ta kick me? I guess Mitzi was right; the baby is growin' in Lindsay's tummy. I still think its weird; an I ain't goin' ta put my head there till the baby comes.
