The Many Faces Of Bess

My Margret says I have many faces. Um, I only have one face so I don’t know what she’s talking about.

She says I have a happy face.

A glamorous face.

A worried face.

a sleepy face.

And finally a just me face.

All within the space of a few minutes.

Who knew!

P.S.

A pup with a really long tail or is it? 😉

POPCORN! PEANUTS!

We LOVE popcorn, we also LOVE peanuts

My Margret makes us wait til the popcorn cools down before she gives us any. It sure takes a long time.

After she says all gone we give her “the look” in hopes of getting more

We also give her our best sad face

She’s pretty tough though so it hardly ever works.

That’s when we go see our My Greg. We know he’ll share peanuts with us

Channeling My Inner (Naughty) Puppy

So tonight My Margret took my cone off! But then she cleaned out my ears. That made me mad so even though I’m 6 years old I channeled my inner naughty puppy and tore the cover off of a magazine. I guess that showed her!

P.S. It tasted good!

So This Happened….

So My Margret noticed that if I moved just right I could still lick my paw. She told My Greg and he said ” Oh Boy!”

So this happened.

It even got the Linus seal of approval.

I left it on for over an hour before I ripped it off.

Next My Margret tried this

Except in a pretty blue.

Then this happened

It got the Bonnie seal of approval and that was good enough for me. I left it on all night and this morning until My Margret took it off. She and I have a deal. I’ll leave it on when I’m in the house including overnight and I get to have it off when I’m out in our pup pen.

We’re both happy AND my hot spot is getting better!

P.S Big thank you to Xena, Angel Lexi and their Mom from Lexi The Schnauzer & Friends for the encouragement to try socks again. It takes a village!

Update on Miss Conehead

My Greg took me to the vet today. He helped me be brave when they took a scrape of my hotspot. I came home with antibiotics and Prednisone so I get to have a lot of cheese/cream cheese for the next 10 days. Oh and My Greg put the cone back on because I won’t leave socks (or wraps) on my foot. I mean come on white athletic socks? Maybe if they tried something pretty …hmm probably not.

I’m A Smart Girl

I’m such a smart girl I figured out this morning how to lick my paw while wearing my cone.

Oh and this morning I spit out the part of the sleepy cheese that helps my itching…twice.

I might have heard My Margret say that I have an appointment at my vet tomorrow. Hmmm I wonder what that means…..

Note from Belle’s My Margret: I’m hoping they come up with something that will help our too smart for her own good precious Belle. To be continued…

Madam Hotspot AKA Miss Cone Head

Last week I had an itchy paw. My Margret shaved it with the buzzy thing that I. Did. Not. Like, where it was itchy.

She tried different things so I wouldn’t become a cone head. She gave me lots of cheese that made me kind of sleepy. And tried spraying on some wet stuff on it…have I mentioned that I don’t like being wet…that she said had all kinds of good things that would make it better plus help me not to lick it. She says I’m the only dog she knows who likes the taste of bitter green apple. What can I say? A pup can’t help what she likes can she?

Nothing was helping because I wouldn’t stop licking it. My Margret would tell me to leave it and I would, because I’m a good girl, until she wasn’t looking.

My Greg has been calling me Madam Hotspot. He’s funny like that. But now he gets to call me Miss Cone Head. SIGH…

The thing is, I don’t really mind wearing the cone. But I give them lots of sad faces because it gets me more treats!
