So we talked My Margret into letting us all share this time. Please let me go first please!?!?!?! Ok Belle, you start us off.

We do a really good job sitting for our snacks as you can see.

We never miss the opportunity to suggest we get a snack either. I’m still taking my ear medicine and as soon as My Margret gets out the cheese we all come running. I get the most as it should be since it’s my medicine cheese but my sisters get a little bit of the cheese too.

Oh wait one more thing…I’ve been watching how the Bouncy One gets My Margret and My Greg’s attention by just looking at them. I decided to try it and who knew…it works!!

My turn, my turn….

Ok Bonnie you are next…

So last week I went to go visit our vet for my annual check up.

I got to meet lots of dogs, some kids and a nice lady who asked if she could pet me.

I met Tater a 170 lb English Mastiff and his brother who was I think was a pit bull mix. Then there was a year and a half old German Shepard who liked to sit behind her person. Then there was a little dog who was really really old and she sat on her person’s lap. Then a family with 4 little people came in with their parents and 7 month old British Cream Golden, like my sister Bessie. I wanted to play but there wasn’t very much room.

I also kept watch on our car to make sure it didn’t go anywhere. While it was fun to be the waiting room greeter and pose like the princess I am, I was glad when it was our turn so then we could go back home.

FINALLY it’s my turn…

Yep Bess go for it.

It’s getting colder and I’ve started cuddling a lot with My Margret. In the past I’ve been pretty bouncy and don’t like to sit that long with anyone, but it feels really good so I’ve been doing it more and more. My Margret posted the following this morning on her Facebook page. I don’t know why she thought this was so funny I was just doing my job! Humph!!!

Last night the pups kept going out to check on the progress of (in their eyes) the rumbly glowy eye big thing that was eating up the corn in the fields surrounding our house. Bessie kept barking to warn the surrounding neighbors what was happening so they could be watchful in case it headed their way. This morning all of the pups, including Miss “I have to get up to go lay on the couch for my early morning nap” Bonnie, have been going in and out to rediscover their world now that their view has been expanded. Oh Pups you make me laugh! 🤣

Linus kitty, um Linus…..

…zzzzzzzz

How about you Lucy?

I’m happy to report everyone is doing what they are supposed to be doing.

I found my tennis ball tonight.

I used to be squeaker challenged…not any more!

I love my tennis ball.

My Margret took me to see my vet this afternoon. I don’t know why she didn’t understand that I needed to sit in the front seat of the car. How on earth was I supposed to keep an eye on things for her while sitting in the back seat! No matter how hard I tried she wouldn’t let me sit up front there or back home. She’s a stubborn one that My Margret!

When we got to the vet I was a good girl and did a very pretty graceful sit on the scale just in case anyone was watching. They weren’t.

But guess what! The nice girl who showed us to the room said I had a happy walk. Um…It would have been a lot happier if I could have walked right back outside! But My Margret kept saying it wasn’t time to go yet.

Dr. Bols came in and looked at my left leg that I had been licking over the weekend. She thinks I had a bug nibble on me that made me itchy. My Margret had given me some medicine that made me not so itchy anymore so it was getting better. While I was there I got my ears checked and yep I have an ear infection in my left ear. My Margret felt bad because she hadn’t see it. Everything looked good when she cleaned my ears out last week. She said that she wished I wouldn’t be so stoic, whatever that means, and would tell her when something doesn’t feel good. I told her I would try.

I really really like Dr. Bols she gives really good tummy rubs. After she swabbed out my ear (during which I glared at My Margret hard) she put in some medicine and rubbed my ear for at least a million minutes, ok maybe 5. But it felt so good that I leaned into her hand and she called me sweet girl.

Finally it was time to go home. Once there I told My Greg all about it and he kept calling me his Belle Puppy and cuddled with me for a long time until I felt better about everything. He’s good at that!

~this is Belle “the couldn’t sit in the front of the car but I got belly and ear rubs” Pup for the rest of the Pups and Kitties.

Early this morning after the big loud bouncy one went outside I decided to come sit with My Margret.

The older more mature quieter ones were there too. Bonnie behaved just as I’ve trained her. But Belle started to give me some sass which I shut that down real fast!

Then Belle and I pretended that we didn’t see each other.

She finally did what she should have done in the beginning which was to leave me be and go curl up next to My Margret.

When she did that I went and curled up on top of the couch behind My Margret. Which I had wanted to do from the beginning.

Why do dogs always make things harder than they need to be?

Usually we like to do our own thing but sometimes we want to cuddle.

(My Margret got all “Oh look how cute” when she saw our paws. She’s like that sometimes. Sigh…..)

La La La….

Huh… what…Um Linus, it’s bedtime.

My Margret….Why is Linus Kitty up here? It’s bedtime, he doesn’t sleep with us.

Hey Belle….guess what I do now!!!

~this is Linus “the My Greg said I get to sleep upstairs just like my sister pups” kitty for the rest of the Pups and Kitties.

So I thought a lot about what my friends said about My Margret having enough love for Patch Pup and the rest of us. Thanks everyone for the help! You all rock!

Then I remembered how sad she looked when I wouldn’t go sit with her. So tonight I stood first in line to be brushed. It felt really good.

Then I brought her a bunch of my stuffies.

After that I gave her one of my smiles. I could tell all of that made her very happy.

Which made me feel happy too. And because it felt so good to not be mad or sad any longer I played tug of war with my sister Bonnie. And guess what! I won!

My Margret came home today. As soon as she finally sat down my sister Bonnie Pup and Brother Kitty Linus jumped up in her lap. I don’t think Bonnie really wanted to share My Margret but she did.

As soon as they jumped down Belle jumped up for her turn to be loved on. She sat with My Margret for a long time.

When My Margret was away she spent time with her big and little people’s pup Patch.

And I’m not sure how I feel about that.

To be honest I really missed her but I’m kinda of jealous that she spent time with another pup even though we are related to him. I guess the trouble is I’m not sure if she still loves me.

Maybe tomorrow I’ll ask her and show her I’m glad she’s home.

~ this is Bessie “the I’m kinda jealous” Pup for the rest of the pups and kitties.

I love My Margret. You know I do but sometimes I wish she didn’t know me so well.

She’s away helping some of her and My Greg’s big and little people and their pup Patch for a few days.

Meanwhile My Greg is taking care of us. So me and my sisters have been having middle of the night parties with My Greg. They are so much fun. Well we were until he told My Margret about them and that’s all it took.

She told him that when I want to have a middle of the night party that he just needs to say ” It’s still night night Bess.” He kinda thought she was kidding him until he tried last night when I wanted to party and he didn’t.

I don’t know why he was so surprised that when he said that I went to to the foot of the bed, laid down, sighed, and went back to sleep. That’s what ” it’s still night night Bess” means. Doesn’t everyone know that?

I kinda wished he hadn’t said anything to My Margret but this morning I heard him say something about maybe a thunderstorm party later today…

Well you know what they say a party’s a party!

~this is Bessie ” the party on” Pup for the rest of the Pups and Kitties.

So we’ve been um kinda getting into trouble lately. Just little stuff like chewing up notebooks, socks, napkins you know stuff like that.

My Margret says we are bored. We’re not sure what bored is but we think it means new stuff.
