From the publisher

New York Times Bestselling author Jamie Kelly is back with another hilarious, candid, and sometimes not-so-nice diary!Dear Dumb Diary, I went back and read some of my very oldest diaries. The entries say things like I eated salad dressing and I got a Barbie shoe stuck in Stinker’s nose again and The vet was mean to me about the Barbie shoe so I tried to bite him but vets are quick at not getting bit because dogs try all the time but dogs don’t usually kick so I did that.What amazed me was just how dumb I used to be, considering how smart I am now. There must have been a day when I just woke up smart.
