Thunderstorm Party! ~ Bessie Pup

The first thunderstorm party of 2026 is in the books! A successful party with enough lights on in the house that the the lightning flashes appeared dim. Modern Marvels on tv provided the perfect interesting content and monotone sound that was both soothing and successfully help mute the thunder. The best thing was both My Margret and My Greg were at the party so I could get “it’s ok Bessie” pets and ear ruffles from both of them! My sisters and I partied so hard that we couldn’t help falling into a deep sound sleep. Until the next one! ~ Bessie Pup

The Solution! ~ Bea, Graham and Gus

After several minutes of silently looking at each other Bea, Graham and Gus came up with this solution.
Graham: Hey we were up here first!
Bea: So I was in this house before you!
Gus: How about this we all can be up here we just won’t look at each other.
Graham: Yeah that might work
Bea: Sigh… ok but I was still in the house before you!

We Figured It Out! ~ Graham Kitty

Graham: I love my new routine of daily chilling and checking out my kingdom for a few minutes then going back inside. My sister Pups don’t bark any more when they see me outside they just hover and give My Margret the look that says Do Something!!!

My Margret reminds them that I’m wearing an AirTag so they can find me. And that Gus and I stay in our kitten room when she and My Greg are doing errands so I can’t go outside. I call it hovering from a distance My Margret and My Greg call it caring about me. I knew we’d come to a compromise eventually. ~ Graham Kitty

You Are Getting Sleepy… ~ Bea Pup

Look deep into my eyes. You are getting sleepy.
Repeat after me, I want to go out in the cold to play ball with Bea.
When I give a soft woof you’ll wake up.

Hey Bea, it’s a little chilly but let’s go play ball!

I can’t believe that really worked, let’s go!! ~ Bea Pup

Sometimes You Just Want To Be Rocked. ~ Bea Pup

There are times when you just want to be rocked by your person. ~ Bea Pup

Note: the weight of Bea on the rocking recliner enables me to rock her even though the foot rest is up. She’ll give me the look to let me know she wants to be rocked then snuggles in a little closer and gives a contented sigh every time. 💕
