Daisy's Unusual Sunday

I love Sundays because my mom and dad have more time with me.  My mom gave me a bath which felt so good.  The new medicine seems to be working but my skin is still flaky and itchy and a bath makes the itchiness go away.  Then, my dad worked in the yard and I got to be with him as he took care of the lawn.  But that's when the trouble began.  I got bored watching him pull weeds so I started wandering around the yard.  There was an interesting container at the front porch that had stuff in it (I found out later it was a lawn spreader).  I sniffed the stuff inside and it smelled really good so I decided to take a little lick.  As I did this my Dad grabbed me and yelled "No".  He opened my mouth and took out the stuff inside and then asked my Mom to help him wash out my mouth.  I didn't like that one bit!!  Apparently I didn't know that the lawn spreader contained ant bait.  My Dad called the poison control phone line and they said that the ant bait contained a corn base so that's why I wanted to eat it.  Fortunately, my Dad stopped me before I had too much so I was ok.  I'm not going to do that again.  The rest of the day was relaxed and I got to play tug-of-war with my dad and sleep beside them in the family room.  It's just how I imagined it would be being part of a family who loved me.
