Echo and Sky had some visitors today.  We all went outside to play.  Then two new humans came and we all played together.  I say that we all played.  But I could see that the humans wanted to play with Echo and Sky more than Radar, Daisy and I.  I got bored and went to play by myself.  After a while, Daisy came to play too.  We had a great time chasing something called leaves.  It was great fun.  That strange invisible force makes the leaves move around pretty quickly.  Daisy and I scampered around after them.  When that got boring we grabbed a stick-thing.  


First we just ran around the yard, each hanging on to one end.  Then we started playing tug-o-war with the stick.  It was great fun. I stopped playing for a few seconds.  I saw Radar sleeping under that bright warm light that hangs above us all day.  Echo and Sky were still playing with the human visitors.  Our human-mom was talking to them and they had some papers out on the table.  I like playing with papers, so I ran over and tried to steal them.  Our human-mom scolded me, but the human-visitors laughed.  So I went back to Daisy and we played around the yard some more.  There is always so much to explore.  I learn something new every day.  Playing in the back yard is almost as much fun as playing with my human-dad.  My human-dad is the best fun.  He teaches me how to do things, then he gives me treats when I do it right.  But the last few days he has been very sad.  He pets me, but I can feel he really doesn't know I am there.  I think he misses Uncle Parker a lot.  I miss Uncle Parker too.  But I try to be with him and lick him so he feels better.  I don't think it is working - yet.  But I won't give up.

Then something changed by the humans.  They all were getting up.  The human-visitors picked up Echo and Sky.  Our human-mom told us to say good-bye, because Echo and Sky were going away.  GOING AWAY?  Why?  They are our sisters.  They can't go away.  Who will we play with?  But the human-visitors had their own Magic Legs.  They loaded Echo and Sky in the box, and they left.  I didn't understand it.  Our human-mom and our dog-mom didn't try to stop them.  They left, and they took Echo and Sky with them.
