This morning My Margret and I went to see Dr. Coder so she could check my ears.  

My Margret put me in the backseat with my tennis ball. You’d think she would know by now that I’m a co-pilot not a backseat driver. So I jumped into the front seat where I belonged. 

While we were waiting My Margret knew I was nervous so she was talking to me and calling me her sweet girl. I liked that.   

Dr. Coder said that after 2 weeks my ear infection while better still isn’t gone. So she said that she was going to flush out my ears and put in an antibiotic that would last for two weeks. That didn’t sound like fun to me and I didn’t want to go with her but My Margret but she told me I had to.  I also have to have steroid pills but I think I heard something about hot dogs…

By the time we left I had had enough so I pretty much pouted all the way home and didn’t even take the treat My Margret gave to me. 

After we got home I thought it over and decided that both My Margret and Dr. Coder were just trying to help me feel better.

So all is good and I even invited My Margret to give me a tummy rub. Which she did!

I love my tennis ball! 

It took me so long to learn how to squeak it that I just can’t stop. My Margret actually has to shush me, how cool is that!!!

Every day when I come home from work the pups meet me at the door. Then Bessie pup runs into the living room, grabs a stuffie, jumps up on the couch and plops herself over the back of it to say hi to me again.

Tonight I went to take her picture and quick as a flash she spit out her stuffie and posed. 

Then she decided to snuggle with her stuffie.

Then she picked it back up and hung on to it all in the space of a couple of minutes. This is a classic Bessie and stuffie pose.

So like it seems that things are different around here lately. My sister Belle is getting some extra attention and treats. I mean come on I can smell them on her breath. So what’s up with that I’d like to know.

So like I started watching a bit closer and every time she comes in the house she gets her paws wiped off, now I sure don’t know why I mean they aren’t muddy. But then I noticed she gets a treat afterwards. Ok to be honest The Bouncy One and I get a treat then too but if Belle gets to have her paws wiped off it must be something special so I want mine wiped off too.  I told My Greg that so now they wipe mine off too! 

And I heard something about a bath today…yay I love baths, I hope I get one too!

I’m feeling better! I’m perkier, roughhousing with my sisters, squeaking my tennis ball, wagging my tail, full of better!

 It feels so good to feel better I don’t even mind having my paws washed off every time I come in from outside but baths…well we’ll see about those. BUT in the meantime I feel better!!!!

We are in day two of trying to calm Belle’s allergies down. Which means messing with her ears and feet both of which she doesn’t like. 

This morning after I wiped her paws multiple times Belle came and stood in front of me. I knelt down and she leaned in and laid her head against my chest. I cuddled her for a bit then she moved away, laid down and invited me to rub her tummy. I did so then went to take a quick peek at her ear. She turned her head to give me a mighty stink eye that said ” I invited you to rub my tummy not mess with my ear.” 

So clearly she forgives me for being the bad guy as long as I don’t overstep the boundaries. Tummy rub time is not ear peeking time!  ~this is Belle’s My Margret for the Pups and Kitties

So My Greg took me to our vet today and I’m rocking a double ear infection. They talked about it and they think I have allergies that make my paws itch and my ears get yucky. 

I have to have drops in my ears twice a day for two weeks and I got a shot to help me stop feeling so itchy. PLUS I have to have my paws wiped off every time I come inside AND a bath once a week. 

Did I mention that I don’t like baths? OR my ears Or my paws messed with? 

My Margret said that I’ll get used to my spa treatments and might even start to like them. All I have to say is there had better be lots and lots and lots of treats involved.

This weekend I got to play with My Margret and My Greg’s littlest little person, Katie. She petted me and we played tag and hide and seek. Best of all I helped her practice her meows. 

After she went home I took a nap

And another one

And then another one.

This is my “I need something NOW” look that if not noticed is usually followed by a nose nudge. 

Works every time!
