A Very Busy Weekend!

c

Like oh my goodness what a weekend! More of My Margret and My Greg’s big and little people came to visit. Katie the littlest little person, who is just learning how to walk came right up to us at the gate to be kissed by us,  she squealed and then she woofed at us!  That was like so much fun.  After she went to bed My Margret took the gate down so we could be with the rest of the family.  We had a lot of fun with Aaron and Ethan the older little people.  We played with them then Bess and I tried to sit in Aaron’s lap but we finally stood on the floor and leaned closer to him so he could get practice petting us. Both boys did a good job giving us the attention that we were um demanding or uh um I mean asking for.

Last night after all the big and little people went back home we were kind of antsy and I don’t know why but My Margret didn’t pick up on it like she usually does.  This morning we were still antsy and all of a sudden My Margret jumped up from the chair she was sitting in having her morning coffee. She went into the other room and brought out…our beds and drum roll please…our toys!!!!!   Finally! Man, we’ve got to work on getting My Margret to listen to us. I’m glad she finally figured it out, we were really happy to have our stuff back.

Belle and I immediately tried out one of the beds to make sure it was still comfy it was.

Belle then found one of her tennis balls and she made sure to keep it with her.  She said she wasn’t going to let it out of her sight.

Later this morning My Margret put our beds and some toys out in the kitchen where we were going to hang out while she kept on painting in our pup pen.  We wanted to go out and help her sooooo badly.   Belle gently rang the “gotta go” chime to go out…nope nothing. Then I gave the “gotta go” chime a full head shake…nope nothing.  Then Bess barked (a lot) to tell My Margret we wanted out…nope nothing.  So we did the only thing we could think of.

We took a nap!

Tummy Rubs

Tonight just wasn’t my night.  First it was time to take my Trifexis. I do not like the taste of it AT ALL!  My Margret crushes it up and mixes it with peanut butter and (now I’m going to sound like a princess) I lick it off of her finger.  It’s the only way I can get it down. 

Then right after that I saw My Margret reach for a bottle, some q-tips and a piece of cheese. Well  I knew what that meant, yep she was going to wash out my ears. Well I like that even less than I like Trifexis so I made sure to tell her in no uncertain terms I was having none of that. 

Well to make a long story short I got my ears washed out. One of them looked real yucky so I know in going to have to have my ears washed out a lot over the next few days. I know my Margret felt bad about that and making me take my Trifexis. I know she’s only doing all of that because she loves me so I did the only thing I could think of to let her know I wasn’t mad at her. I asked her to rub my tummy and she did.

The Big Climby Thing

Oh my gosh! We had an exciting day! Another one of My Margret and My Greg’s big people came last night to help them paint. He was really nice. He and My Greg  used this big climby thingy today.


My sisters and I were watching them from the kitchen. I barked a few times to let them know when the climby thing moved. You gotta keep track of those climby things you know!  My Greg thanked me for my help.


While that was going on My Margret was painting in our pup pen. I sure wish we could have been out there with  her. I bet we would have been a big help.


While we were hanging out in the kitchen we all decided to take a nap. It’s hard work keeping an eye on our painter people and climby things don’t you know!

Stuffies

My sister Bess loves, I mean loves stuffies. She usually has at least one and usually more in her mouth at any one time. 

Stuffies get dirty.


and have to be washed every once in awhile. Bess doesn’t like it when that happens at all! She was staring at the washer and dryer as if that would make them get done any faster. It didn’t.


Finally they were dry!
My Margret took the bin into the living room where it belongs. Truth be told we all like them. 

I mean who doesn’t like a stuffie especially one right from the dryer.

Company!

Guess what! Guess what! Guess what! We had company this weekend! One of the big people who belong to My Margret and My Greg came to help them paint the outside of their house. Well…until it started to rain anyway, then he went home. 

It was a lot of fun having him here. He thought we were really really smart and he petted us almost as much as we wanted him to.

My sisters seemed to think he should pet them too but I took care of that! I just nosed them out of the way so he would keep petting me.  But he made sure they got a lot of attention, he’s nice like that.

He was soooo much fun. I really hope he comes back soon.

I Don’t  Like Being Brushed!

I don’t like being brushed. I really really don’t like it.  This morning I wanted some My Margret time and although it took me two jumps to get all of me up on the chair with her I made it! Then that My Margret pulls out the brush and starts brushing me. If she wouldn’t have been calling me sweet pup and pretty girl I wouldn’t have stayed.

Then a little while later My Greg started to brush me.  He said nice things to me too so I let him brush me…for a little while.  This is how much of my fur came out.

My Margret keeps telling My Greg that Bess wants to be a big sister. He says that the three of us shed enough fur that we could make a fourth pup. My Margret doesn’t think it’s funny but I think he’s right!

After My Greg brushed me he then started to clean the fur off of the couch. Like a good supervisor I stayed there to make sure he got all if it. By the way he says the kind of gloves nurses and doctors use work great to pick up the fur.


After all of that My Margret quietly called me to the kitchen where she gave me lots and lots (well at least 5 ) treats for being such a good girl. Pretty soon my sisters came out and when they saw me getting treats they plopped right down in a sit in front of My Margret for some treats. They were asked what they had done to deserve a treat and they both wiggled a bit and said “Well, we’re cute” My Margret laughed and said “Yes, you are” and gave each of them a couple of treats.  So I came back to get my “just because I’m cute treat” because it’s only fair!

Time For Some Pup and Kitty Therapy

My Margret and My Greg have been crazy busy and My Margret has had a pesky cold  so I told the others that we needed to give them some Pup and Kitty therapy. I did my part by coming up from my basement kingdom to give them some special forehead bumps and loves.


The pups entertained them by doing a skit called “What do you mean I have to share the new toys?” 

I know it makes My Margret and My Greg feel real happy when we look cute, so I told the others to ramp it up a bit. 


Finally we just took turns cuddling with them.
