Dad and I had such a great day together! In case you are wondering why Dad and I are always together, Dad was laid off on Wednesday, 4 August, and still hasn’t found a job. That’s bad, but it’s good that Dad and I can spend a lot of time together and go to the airport every day. We didn’t have to worry about Mom fussing at us for being late since she was at work. That made Dad really happy! (Dad doesn’t want Mom to know that he was so late, he didn’t get to take a shower before we left for the airport.)
The first flight came in at 10:10am and I got to meet 150 soldiers! (Mom calls them “service members” since we get to meet men and women from the Navy, Marines, Air Force and Army.) One of my favorite things to do is to get on the troop buses and meet each and every soldier. I go up and down the aisle and give as many kisses as I can and look for food. Sometimes there will be a soldier who is afraid of me. The other soldiers always laugh at the one who is afraid, particularly if he jumps when he sees me.
I took a nap stretched out on the sidewalk between flights as Dad and I waited on the second flight. The sidewalk was so warm from the sun and there was a nice breeze. I don’t know what Dad did while I was asleep, except I know he stayed with me. Dad got me up as the first soldier came out at noon. Mom always calls it a “double header” when two flights come in on one day. I had my own double header because two volunteers each gave me a sausage biscuit. I gobbled them down because they were so good, almost as good as Cheetos!
When Mom came in from work, she had bought me a Halloween costume!
