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!

My sister Belle gets cheese every morning. My Margret says Belle’s “move better” pill is in the cheese, I don’t know about that I just know she gets CHEESE.

Bess and I decided we need cheese every morning too. As soon as we hear that cheese wrapper crinkle we are right there standing as close to Belle as we can. That way My Margret doesn’t forget about us.

After Belle gets her piece we get ours then My Margret says ” that’s it, no more.” I don’t know what she’s talking about the rest of the cheese is there on the table right in front of her. Maybe she needs new glasses because we certainly need more cheese!

We had lots of treats tonight on a piece of paper that had little squares drawn on it. My Margret saw a video where pups were playing a game called tic tac toe with their people. There were treats on each square and when the pup ate one treat ( who does that?) her person drew an x or an o in that spot.

My Margret has a lot of time on her hands (well not really because she is now working from home) but she still has waaaay too much to think because she thought we should try this. And um well we did and depending on how you look at it it was either a spectacular failure or a spectacular first try.

We did a good job putting our paws on the squares

But we got really excited and wouldn’t eat just one treat at a time in fact we gobbled them down before My Margret could even put them on the squares. I mean hello!!! They were treats!!! On top of that she had trouble handling the phone, marker and treats because she was laughing so hard

By the way don’t you think we should have gotten extra points for NOT eating the paper? We do!

I love to sit with My Greg. We all do, but the problem is my sister Bessie can be well um pushy. There I said it, She. Is. Pushy. Yesterday when I was sitting with My Greg she just jumped up and pushed her way right in! Bessie was kind of sassy and said Hey, look I’m here too!

I sure didn’t like that but then My Greg told me that there’s was more than enough room for both of us.

Guess what! He was right!

You know when your sister rings the gotta go chime and you run dropping the bone you were chewing on to go out with her.

Then once you are out the door she turns around snatches up the bone you were just chewing on and runs into the living room?

Yeah that….

So My Margret bought us these orange round things earlier today and I think I’ve finally figured out what we are supposed to do with them.

My sister Bonnie doesn’t seem to like it.

And that’s ok by me!

To be continued…..

We decided tonight was a good night to introduce the pups to the tennis ball launcher that we were given at Christmas.

When we went back on the house I discovered their new toys had arrived. I had picked up one just like these a couple of weeks ago and they all loved it. So I decided to order a few more.

Tonight’s playtime was a fun change of pace that we all enjoyed!
