Those of you that know me well know that I love tennis balls and that my little sister Bess sometimes drives. me. crazy! She always wants what I want and while we usually share our stuff I really don’t like sharing my tennis balls.
This morning My Margret was sitting on the couch having her coffee and reading a book before she had to get ready for work and I was on the couch beside her with my tennis ball. Up jumps the bouncy girl who wanted it too so I dropped it in My Margret’s lap. My Margret quickly tucked it away by her side as Bess nosed me out of the way so she could sit and stare at My Margret in hopes that she would give her my tennis ball.
Now My Margret can out wait any of us so after 15 minutes Bess finally got tired of waiting and jumped down to go into the other room. After she had left My Margret quietly gave me back my tennis ball and tucked it in by my side. I gave her a thank you look and she ruffled my ears and gave me a quick cuddle. We understand each other very well especially when it comes to guarding tennis balls.

Me and my sisters and Linus Kitty are tired.
My Greg’s leg owie isn’t all better yet and My Margret has a owie on her hand because she had an oops when she was using some scissors. So this weekend they were supposed to take it easy so they could get all better.
But they don’t sit very good.
So we sat on them.
It’s a tough job but we did it!

So like when our friend Noodle came up with show your favorite treat as a memorial for our other friend Lexi. My Greg came up with the idea of cheese stuffed carrots. Although we had already posted our usual favorite treat earlier he still wanted to try making our new favorite snack. So after church today he and My Margret made them for us.
First My Greg drilled a hole the length of the carrot.
Then he handed it to My Margret and she sprayed the cheese into the carrot.
Then we got to eat them.
I took mine and waited for my sisters to come with me to the living room where we ate them. They were sooooo good!!!
Bess finished hers first so she went back for seconds, but the battery on the drill ran out.
So we did the next best thing, we licked the cheese off of My Margret’s fingers.
We liked our new treat so much that when she offered us plain carrots a few minutes later I looked at the table then My Margret and said “hey, what about the cheese?

In memory of our friend Lexi we are posting pictures of us eating our favorite treats, hot dogs, cheese and carrots.
It took about 10 seconds for me to eat mine then I started on my sister Belle’s. My Margret made Belle another bowl of treats but that’s a story for another day.
Many thanks to Noodle’s mom for setting this up.
Lexi, we love and miss you. Gentle nose nudges and hugs to your mom and dad.

Happy Birthday to our bouncy Miss Bess!
My Greg hurt himself the other day while up on our roof painting. He has something called a partial muscle tear in his leg, so he’s walking with these stick like things that make a lot of noise and kind of go all over the place. I don’t think I like them and I know My Greg doesn’t either.
My sisters and I take turns sitting with him to keep him company but I wanted to do something more.
So I gave him my stuffie.

After a rain delay My Margret started painting in our pup pen this afternoon. I guess my sister Bess didn’t know who she was because she barked at her. I tried to tell Bess that it was My Margret and even after she took off her painting cap and sunglasses Bess still barked.
And barked.
And barked.
And barked some more
Until she finally got tired of barking. Then she just stared.

Sisters, I’ll never figure them out.
This morning when My Margret let Bess Pup out in the pup pen she heard a scared meow. That was me, I’ll admit it I was scared and you would have been scared too if you were me.
You see last night I slipped out unseen in the pup pen when my sisters went out before bedtime.
Now those that know me know I’m called the 4th Golden Retriever, I want to be wherever my sisters are. And I try all kinds of ways to get outside including ringing the gotta go chime.
While at first I was excited to be outside then I have to admit I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would and as I said before got scared so when My Margret let me in I was really glad to see her. She hugged and cuddled me and told me she was sorry I spent the night outside. Then My Greg cuddled me and told me he was sorry too. That was fun I liked their cuddles but my sister pups went just plain goofy! First they each sniffed me to make sure I was ok.
Then they kept ringing the gotta go chime so they could go out in the pen and pup porch to do some sniffing then they would come back in and sniffed me. They just couldn’t believe that I actually went outside.
Finally they just stared at me for awhile.
I can’t figure out why they were so fussed up I’m the one who stayed outside (well in the porch curled up in straw) in the dark …by myself …while it rained …
all .night .long!

Like oh my goodness what a weekend! More of My Margret and My Greg’s big and little people came to visit. Katie the littlest little person, who is just learning how to walk came right up to us at the gate to be kissed by us, she squealed and then she woofed at us! That was like so much fun. After she went to bed My Margret took the gate down so we could be with the rest of the family. We had a lot of fun with Aaron and Ethan the older little people. We played with them then Bess and I tried to sit in Aaron’s lap but we finally stood on the floor and leaned closer to him so he could get practice petting us. Both boys did a good job giving us the attention that we were um demanding or uh um I mean asking for.
Last night after all the big and little people went back home we were kind of antsy and I don’t know why but My Margret didn’t pick up on it like she usually does. This morning we were still antsy and all of a sudden My Margret jumped up from the chair she was sitting in having her morning coffee. She went into the other room and brought out…our beds and drum roll please…our toys!!!!! Finally! Man, we’ve got to work on getting My Margret to listen to us. I’m glad she finally figured it out, we were really happy to have our stuff back.
Belle and I immediately tried out one of the beds to make sure it was still comfy it was.
Belle then found one of her tennis balls and she made sure to keep it with her. She said she wasn’t going to let it out of her sight.
Later this morning My Margret put our beds and some toys out in the kitchen where we were going to hang out while she kept on painting in our pup pen. We wanted to go out and help her sooooo badly. Belle gently rang the “gotta go” chime to go out…nope nothing. Then I gave the “gotta go” chime a full head shake…nope nothing. Then Bess barked (a lot) to tell My Margret we wanted out…nope nothing. So we did the only thing we could think of.
We took a nap!
