Fun at da Vetman's (da troof!)

 Weww, I tode yu abowt Vito an' da monster. Layter wen Papa came home we gode to da vetman's. Papa putted us in da big twuk an' dwove us dere. I went in wif Mama awl by myself. Papa stayed in da twuk wif Vito. Da only udder doggy der wuz a puggle (ugh). We wuz cawled in rite away an' da lady wayed me an' tawked to Mama, den left us to wate. Not shur wy, but I did not feel nerbus at awl dis time, so sted ov puwwin' Mama to da dore, I cwimed up on da tabul ware dey wayed me an' pwetended I wuz on a pwaygwownd. I gotted down, an' up, an' down, an' up a zillyun times! In between I wet Mama pet me an' skritch my eers an' stuff. Den awl ov a sudden I smewwed Papa an Vito! I went to da dore an' sniffed under it - an dere wuz Vito's noze on da udder side!! We pwayed snuffles fer a minnit till da vetman came in. He pikked me up an' I wuz not skared at awl! What a sprize! He gived me a ride on da taybul, den he hugged me an' put sumfin' on my side, den da udder side. Wooked in my eerz an den tawked to Mama. I ackshully wiked my vizit!  But da best pawt wuz after. Papa hewd us wile Mama gotted medisins fer me (coff piwws an' antywobotiks) an' tawked to da dr. an' da ladies. I wuz waytin to get owt dat dore an to da twuk cuz Papa AWLWAYZ takes us sumpwase gud! An' I wuz rite!! He taked us to get ice kweem! It wuz jus' a pawfect day!

Note from Mama: There was an emergency and it took quite a long time. It's good that Arfur can't hear, because there was the most depressing piano music I ever heard playing the entire time. I really nearly left the room it was so oppressive. What kept me sane was watching Arfur playing on the table over and over with such a big smile on his face. Made the time precious instead of difficult. He's my boy!

Vito an' da big gween monster

Humpty day Mama taked me an' Vito in da car. We took a twip to da Twaktor store to get fud fer da Pippicat an' fer da birdies. We wuz gud boyz an' waited in da car. Wen Mama came bak, we awl saw a fwend a few cars away frum us. Mama gotted us owt to say hiya! An' wud yu beweev, owr vewy gud fwend Lorie gived us eech a hafa roll!! YUM!! She hadda go to werk, so we got bak inna car an' rode home, ware Mama taked us down da dwiveway an' acwoss da street to get da male. Nun dere. So bak we went acwoss da stweet to owr dwiveway, ware Mama gwabbed da jiant garbidj pale to take it up da hill to da howse. Vito wuz sorta not payin' tenshun, cuz wen it began to wumble on da dwiveway, he jumpeded weelly high, den started wrunnin' as fast as he cud go up to da howse, dwaggin' me, Mama, an' da garbidj can behind him. Heez pwitty stwong fer a cwippled boy! Mama wuz yellin' "Vito stop!!" but he jus' went faster. She finilly habbed to let go ov da can cuz her arm wuz stwetchin' longer an' longer frum Vito puwwin'. Wen she did dat, he dashed up da steps to da dore to get in away frum da big gween monster dat "rored" awl da way up da hill. BWAHAHAHA!!! Whut a chikkin! Ov corse, I cant heer it, so it never skared me. I wuz laffin' awl da way.
Tiww nex' time!
