From Bandit's Diary

Bandit and Lucy

It was a great weekend. I have a girl friend now. Her name is Lucy and she is almost a month younger than me. She lives next door... well, now that she's figured out how to come see me, she pretty much lives here with us.

My mom has been talking to the neighbors repeatedly, and has taken her back over at night when someone was home, but Lucy would come right back to play with me in the morning -- under the fence. She's really good at that.

Bandit and Lucy play

So yesterday Mom was tired of taking her back home and said "You two can play together until Lucy's folks come to get her." Well, mom did not expect them to come, not really. They never even noticed that Lucy was gone when she escaped. They never play with her and leave her alone all day and all night. That's why Lucy came over here, of course. And every time Lucy comes over, she makes a mad dash to the water bowl. I don't think she has enough water at that house.

Aint Scared

Mom's been telling those people that Lucy needs shelter, she cannot hide from rain or cold winds over there. So mom is allowing Lucy to stay with us until her folks either come get her and put up shelter for her in their yard, or until we find her a real home where people act like she is part of the family, not part of the back yard.

And Lucy is not afraid of Skeeter, even though he barks at her. She's a tough cookie. I like her!
