Dear diary,

  The Butcher came into the clinic today and I asked him if he's seen my mommy in America. He said he hasn't but he'll keep an eye out the next time they visit. I asked him if he could take me with him but he said that I needed to have access to the "gate". I was going to ask him more stuff but Goodman dragged me inside. I got angry at him but it doesn't matter, I can just ask Bobby at school.

  Also Goodman brought home a puppy, but Gina is allergic to dogs so the puppy has to sleep outside.

  We built him a little house and Goodman named him Theodore.

  Love,

  Tina
