Hey Graham! You’ve got to see this!!! ~ Gus Kitty

Note: This morning Bea let me know by taking the end of the leash out of my hand that she no longer needed to be leashed when with the kittens. She was right. Scruffy is still learning that Bea just wants to play with the kittens, and barking to let me know that Bea is by the kittens isn’t always necessary. Redirection for both dogs in the form of learning to shake is proving to be sucessful. Scruffy is offering her paw more often to be shook and Bea is moving from shake to high five. Graham still doesn’t like “dog germs” and will vigorously lick any spot that has been sniffed. And Gus, well that sweet boy is getting braver and braver. Progress! 💕

I like playing with the kittens, especially when they knock things off of the table for me. But I’d rather play ball now. ~ Bea Pup

You know the loud barky one (Bea) isn’t that bad after all. I think we are figuring out how to play. ~ Gus Kitty

Hey Graham you wanna play? ~ Bea Pup
Sure, how bout I take you for a walk. ~ Graham Kitty
Um… ~ Bea Pup

Well Bea the loud barky one isn’t so bad after all. She let Graham play with her tail, then wagged her tail while talking to him then went a found a toy to chew on.
I heard My Margret say two down one to go whatever that means. Maybe she’s talking about the really loud barky one they call Bessie. ~ Gus Kitty

Note: Bessie did a good job quietly listening and watching for the kittens who had heard her come in and went behind the couch. I had her on a leash to have better control and she sat snuggled in as close as she could get to me. As most know she is our oldest pup at 11 years but when she decides to bark still has the deepest and loudest of the three. Lots of progress!

Hey Boys, anything interesting up there? ~ Bea Pup

I found a piece of noisy bendy wire ~ Gus Kitty

I found a leaf that slides across the table ~ Graham Kitty

They both sound fun, hey knock them off the table when you’re done playing with them okay. ~ Bea Pup

Hmm, I guess brother kitties come in handy after all. ~ Bea Pup
