My Margret told me today that she and I were going to have daily “us time” and it started today.

She told me that because I’m a couch potato I’ve lost my tummy tuck and we need to find it again so we are going to go on “us time” walks!

I will admit that I like laying on the couch but I’m certainly not a potato!

Anyway she put on my harness and off we went on our walk.

After awhile I decided that I wanted to go back in the house so I took her right up the steps and waited for her to open the door.

After we went in My Margret took my harness off, ruffled my ears and then she headed back outside. I decided that I wanted to go back out and trotted right along behind her. My Margret laughed and went to get my harness again and off we went …again.

I can’t wait for tomorrow’s walk!

My Margret just doesn’t understand.

Every morning I have friends that I check in with, you know to see how they’re doing.

My bird friends wake up a little before 5:00am and I need to go out and see them before our day gets busy.

I still haven’t figured out how to open doors and need someone to open them for me. That’s where My Margret comes in.

When my friends tell me they’re awake I go and sit on My Margret and lick her face to wake her up.

She usually tells me “Bess it’s still night night time” and pulls the covers over her head.

So then I have to go to plan B which is to stand at the top of the stairs, gaze off at the hallway wall and bark….loudly….insistently to let my friends know that I’m on my out to see them….as soon as I can get My Margret to get out of bed.

I have an important job that I bet you didn’t know about. I’m the “storm progress let’em knower”.

First I tell My Margret and Linus Kitty ( he thinks he has to know everything.) that there is a storm coming.

Next I lay in a straight line and even tell my tail to hold still to tell them that the storm is here.

Then when the storm is starting to go away I tilt my head just a little. Oh and my tail starts to fluff just a bit.

Finally when the storm is over I lay over on my side. Notice my tail is back to its fluffy self.

My Margret says I’m amazing, when she checks the storm progress on the weather thingy on her phone she says I’m always right.

If I’m always right I don’t know why she needs that when she has me. Hmmm, I’ll have to ask her about that.

Today Linus Kitty and I went to see Dr. Boles for our “how are you doing” visit.

Linus found out that his rumbly purr works really well and with all of his fluffiness he only weighs 11 lbs. Oh and his tail looks a lot like ours. Dr. Boles thinks he might just be part golden retriever! He didn’t like the ride though and made sure we all knew it. I didn’t much like it either and kept wanting to help My Greg drive. Finally I went and sat by My Margret because she looked lonely. She petted me.When it was my turn to see Dr. Boles I tried very hard to convince My Margret and My Greg that it was time to go home. I was so busy trying to open the exam room door that I almost didn’t see Dr. Boles offer me a treat for being a good girl. It sure was yummy! While she was making sure all my parts worked I offered to let her rub my tummy lots of times and she did. The big news: cutting back on all those extra treats over the past few months worked and I now weigh less than my sisters! My Margret says that although I’m no longer the biggest girly pup I’m still the bounciest!
