I lay in bed recovering from my gun shot to the back and spending time with my dog Custer and Chavez and Balto. I decided that I need to sit up if I could. I try to sit up in my bed. the day that I was shot in the back I made the mistake to ask Chavez to take my gun and shoot me. But Chavez told me that he was not going to shoot me. Custer brings me my journal before Charley came in to snoop through my stuff. I guess that I deserve that because I snoop through everybody's stuff when it is close to Christmas or my birthday just to find out what I am getting. But Charley uses my stuff to hack on me. I enjoy spending time with Custer and Chavez and Balto and when I get better I am going after the Murphy and Dolan boys and hurt them just like they did me and Chavez. I may end up becoming an outlaw but they are going to get away with hurting me and Chavez. But for now I just have to think about getting better. and take it easy with Custer and Chavez and Batlo and to remember that I have a safe home now and a family now.
