Highlights from the Diary of Pop

September 26, 1983

Scared to death,
Left with no breath.
No idea what to do,
I need some glue!

Has anyone ever considered the good points of glue? I mean, yes it’s sticky, but it can also be used to GLUE A DOG’S MOUTH SHUT! Richard got a new puppy, and you know that puppies have the tendency to chew on things. Well, I never imagined that Fluffy (that’s the dog) would go after me! It bit off my ear! How can I hear with only one ear?!? Richard cried until his mother put a band-aid on my ear. Right, because a band-aid is going to fix my ear being torn off! Oh, and have I mentioned that Richard has started school, and that they will not allow him to bring me to school? So I am stuck sitting on his bed all day to fend for myself against that horrible dog! Now that he has started school, he has new friends, meaning that he doesn’t need me as much anymore either. So, on his bed I sit. At least it’s better than a shelf.
