The other day I wanted to cuddle with My Margret. I tried to jump up on the bed but it’s too tall and I bounced back hard to the floor. Yesterday My Margret put this tote there to help me. I barked at it A LOT but eventually the climby thing and I came to an understanding and I figured out how to jump up on it. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to jump up on the bed after that. My Margret says training treats are a wonderful thing, I agree keep them coming!

I’ll be here just in case you need a break from cleaning and want to play ball. ~ Bea Pup

My Margret told me I look like the Slinky Dog when I lay like this. I don’t know what that means but ok. ~ Bea Pup

The Abbott Watcher Pups are on the job!
Scruffy: Did you see that?!?
Bessie: The big rumbly truck scooped up the big garbage can like it was nothing!
Bea: Good thing we’re in here!

Us? Oh we’re just doing a little lazy roughhousing, why? ~ Scruffy and Bea Pups

You found them! Come on let’s play!!!! ~ Bea Pup
(note: the lost treasure trove of tennis balls were discovered while I was sweeping under the living room furniture. A few minutes later Bea found them and started to bark her “hurry, let’s play” bark. You know what happened next. 😉)

Whatcha doing? ~ Bea Pup

The chief watcher over of the backyard reporting in: all is good. ~ Bessie Pup

My Margret: Scruffy, were you digging again?!?
Scruffy: Belle was giving me digging lessons!
Belle: The Short One shows promise. I told her she needs to keep practicing though if she’s going to be as good as I am!

(The apprentice digger Scruffy and her instructor Belle, the all time master digger of the Abbott pups.)

But how come we have to stay in the kitchen and can’t help you? We’re both really good helpers. ~ Scruffy and Bea Pups
