Disgruntled and Pouty

It’s not fair! 

This morning Linus found a mouse, but he was just watching it. So I rushed in, scooped it up and ran into the living room, where I let it go so I could scoop it up again. It’s a really fun game!

But My Margret didn’t understand how the game is played and she said my sisters and I should go out to our pup pen. I didn’t like that.

Linus told me later that the mouse went back to the dining room where it climbed up My Greg’s guitar and stood on tip toe to try and climb up to the shelf. That’s when My Margret saw it looking at her and using the broom let out a loud scream and tried to hit the mouse.  She missed. “Sigh”  (luckily she missed the guitar too.)

When she left to go to work  Linus said he was in the dining room keeping an eye out for it.  And me?  Well, when she checked on us I got all excited thinking she was going to open the door so I could go back in and play. But she didn’t, so I laid my head back down on my paws and kept on pouting.

What A Team!

Hi!

We couldn’t agree on who was going to post this time so My Margret said we all could!

They’re at it again. Ladders, furniture moving, loud stuff, weird goings on, like My Margret sitting on the top of the refrigerator, means only one thing. My Greg and My Margret are in fixer up mode.  Their project right now?  Dry walling, wallpaper border removing and painting the entryway, kitchen, dining room and living room.  They are doing this all while working full time and keeping up with their other stuff too.  And they think we are silly. Never fear I am on the job and will keep an eye on them so things will go smoothly.~ Belle Pup.

CHAIR POTATO indeed! So like the other day My Margret gave me a cuddle pat and called me a chair potato, I mean come on just because I go from chair to chair, and sometimes the couch to find the most cozy spot to curl up is no reason to call me names.  But wait like maybe it’s not a name but a title. I like that!  Shhhh, don’t tell My Margret and My Greg but I like to stay in the house so I can help Linus do his job.  I’m guess it’s kinda like Linus’s assistant. Oh another title! ~ Bonnie Pup

I am the mighty hunter!  I was so excited, the other day, My Margret heard me and Bonnie barking and looked out to see me with a opossum that had gotten in our pup pen.  I made sure it wasn’t going to come in our pen again.  Then the next morning after going out to make sure our outside was as it should be My Margret called me and I ran to her stopping to pick something up on the ground on my way.  I don’t know why My Margret shut the door before I could go in.  But she looked at me and said “drop it” and I spit out the mouse I had scooped up.  Both of those times My Greg went out into the pup pen as I was going in the house.  I’m not sure why.  I couldn’t wait to go back out to find what I found so I could bring them to My Margret and My Greg but…  they weren’t there.  I’m not sure where they went, but I’ll keep looking. In the meantime I will keep watch on all the imaginary whatchamacallits that are in our yard.   ~ Bess Pup

There is no end to what I have to do each day.  I bet you didn’t know that all kinds of things float up to the ceiling if they weren’t held down. Well that’s my main job, I am a stuff holder downer.  I can handle it all, boxes, chairs, laundry, pillows, window seats, just to name a few, I can handle it all.  I am also the I’m out of food reminder. What would My Margret and My Greg do without me?   ~ Linus Kitty

Joyful Bouncyness

When we went outside early yesterday morning we saw that it was SNOWING!!!!!

When my sisters and I came back in I was so excited that I wouldn’t let My Margret dry me off. My sisters on the other hand  don’t like being wet and they couldn’t wait to get dried off.

I went back out and played more in the snow and was so excited that when I came back in I raced into the kitchen, through the dining room into the living room where I grabbed two of my stuffies and jumped up on the couch and hung over the back of the couch and said hi to My Margret. She laughed and said that I was full of joyful bouncyness.

It Almost Worked

The other night I went up to My Margret where she was sitting on the couch and gave her one of my saddest looks ever. Bess has been giving me lessons so I’m getting pretty good at it.

My Margret asked me what was wrong and got up off the couch and said “show me” like she does to Bess. 

I guess My Margret thought that maybe I wanted to go outside although she knows I always ring the chime so I’m not sure why she thought that. 

But anyway as soon as she got up I made my move quick as a flash to take her spot on the couch because it was all warm and cozy from her sitting there. 

I almost made it too but My Margret said “Oh no you don’t, that’s my spot!” and quickly sat back down. I didn’t know she could move so fast! Well before I could get all fussed up about not getting to sit there My Margret patted a spot on the couch beside her and asked me if I would sit with her. 

And I did.

My Stuffies

I love my stuffies! They are my friends. I also give them to My Margret and My Greg when I think they need a friend or when I need to make sure my stuffies are safe until I come back for them. 

This morning My Margret gathered up a lot of my stuffies to give them a bath.

I was really worried about them but My Margret said I would get them back soon.

It’s really hard to wait for soon.
I asked Linus if it was almost soon, he said he didn’t know. But he said if I took a nap soon might get here faster, so I did.

The next thing I knew My Margret woke me up to tell me my stuffies were done with their bath. 

So I went right over to the stuffie bin and grabbed my two favorite ones. I was so happy to have my stuffies back that my tail was a blur it was wagging so fast! 

I love my stuffies!

Imaginary Whatchamacallits

My sister  Belle is the “watcher over all of us” pup. She does a great job but sometimes she needs help so she made me her “Finder and Keeper Tracker of Imaginary Whatchamacallits.”  My Margret and My Greg say I do a really good job!

The past few days there have been a lot of imaginary whatchamacallits to check out. So there’s been a LOT of in and out and in and out and …. 

Thank goodness both of my sisters are really good at helping me keep an eye on things.  We speak sister so all I have to do is look out the window or head for the pup porch door and they are right behind me. 

But getting My Margret or My Greg to let us out can be kinda hard sometimes. I don’t ring the “gotta go” chime (my sisters do that for me.) So when they don’t know I want to go out I go and stand by My Margret or My Greg and give them the “something is happening I need to go out right NOW” stare, if that doesn’t work I bump their arm, hard, then they say “show me” and I run to the pup porch door. 

Hey! I just thought of something, My Margret and My Greg get a lot of exercise as they get up to let us out, I guess that also makes me the “making sure my family gets enough exercise” pup.

Oh there’s another one gotta go!

Jamison Kitty

A few days ago our friends Noodle, and his sisters Macy and Molly along with his mom and dad said goodbye to their very special kitty Jamison.                                                                         We didn’t know very much about Jamison except that he was a very loved kitty then today Noodle posted Jamison’s story and reading about how Jamison became a part of Samantha and Greg’s family (Noodle’s mom and dad) he was indeed a very special kitty who knew who he wanted for his family.

We’re very glad that we had a chance to learn more about what made Jamison the special kitty that he was.  Our thoughts, prayers, nose nudges, cuddles and hugs go out to Samantha, Greg, Noodle, Macy and Molly.

P.S.  We tried to get My Margret to post it to the blog hop but what are you going to do she isn’t as tech savvy as she would like to think she is (although she is learning).  She hopes Noodle’s mom will realize that even though this wasn’t a part of the blog hop it’s still heartfelt and full of love.  ~this is Linus Kitty for the rest of the Pups and Kitties

Some of My Margret and My Greg’s big and little people came to visit a few days ago. I had posted to our Three Pups and a Couple of Kitties Facebook Page that the littlest little person Katie had told her mom that she wanted to come and see me AND she was going to meow with me. She did and we had the best time!

Katie really liked my tail, now I am quite proud of my fluffy tail and I might have waved it under her nose some well maybe a lot while she was following me around the house, but she just touched it and didn’t pull it which was very nice of her.

When she was in her highchair eating I would hang around and we would meow together, I’m pleased to say that she’s coming along very well with her meow lessons.

All of My Margret and My Greg’s little people like to play with me and I can’t wait until they come for another visit. Until then I’ll keep on doing what I do best…ZZZzzzz

You Would Think She’d Learn

So every New Year’s Eve My Margret gets these things that she tries to put on our heads. Well I’m telling you I’m not going to allow anything that looks like that to go on me or my sisters. So as soon as My Margret puts it on one of us its my duty to take it off just as fast as I can. I’ve got it down to 5 seconds I’m that good 

Happy New Year from Me and my sisters! (And the rest of our family)
