One of these pups has an owie, one of these pups has been licking the owie making it worse, and one of these pups got into something my Margret thinks it’s mulberries because she has purple splotches all over her fur.   Can you guess which is which?

I cut myself by my chin last week and it healed just fine, then my sisters in an effort to make it feel better started licking it.  First my Margret wiped this on it. Bess didn’t like the taste but Belle did.

Then my Margret tried this

 Bess didn’t like it,  Belle didn’t like it…at first but when told leave it will leave it.

Then my Margret saw me scratch my owie and this is what happened next

I like the cheese that I get when my Margret puts the medicine on my owie and I get to stay in the house on the comfy couch during the day.  So I’m thinking there are some perks to rocking this cone of royalty.

So my Greg took my sisters and I out to our pup pen and there was something new out there.

Belle and Bess weren’t too sure what to do but I knew and I jumped right up and thanked my Greg before sliding down the slide.

Belle wasn’t sure she liked it but I told her she would if she tried it. Bess just watched to see what she would do.  Belle didn’t like sliding down the slide, she decided to ramp it and she jump to the end of the slide.  She also thanked our Greg before jumping the slide.

The real surprise came when our bouncy, “the bouncier the better” sister Bess wanted nothing to do with the slide. I’m sure she’s going to like it, it’s just going to take awhile.

My Greg has big people that he’s a dad to and little people who know him as grandpa but  to us he’s our Greg and we’re glad he is.

Hi all!

I’ve been elected to give you a pupdate.

Hmmm where to start, well I’m not licking my paw any longer. My Margret tried a couple of things that kinda worked but not for long then she tried something else and it took the itch completely away, I’m not sure who is happier me or her.

We got to meet some new friends over the past couple of weeks.  They are a lot of fun and don’t mind if we jump on them. Of course my Margret wasn’t happy at all about all the jumping stuff and said  that they saw us at our worst.  Which if you think about it isn’t a bad thing because it can only get better from there right? I personally don’t think we were that bad, I mean they came back to see us. We tried to tell our Margret that we were just excited to make new friends but she just gave us the Margret look. *sigh*

Anyway my sisters and I talked about it

We told our Margret that they can come back and play anytime! Bonnie agreed she just let us do the talking for her.

My Greg installed a ceiling fan  in the upstairs hallway where we like to sleep. It’s been really hot so it feels good.  He takes real good care of us!

Oh I almost forgot our Margret and Greg went to visit some of their big and little people and their pup Patch.

I sure hope we get to meet him sometime, he looks like he would be fun to play with.

I don’t have an pupdate on Linus, he just wanted to make sure he was included. Silly pup, I mean kitty.

Well that’s all the news, time to go back and do what we do best!  My job was to lay behind Greg’s chair and keep him safe while he was working on the computer. Bonnie’s job was to keep her paw on me to steady  me should I have to more suddenly and Bess’s job was to make sure her stuffy didn’t get away. As you can see we take our jobs very seriously.

My silly Margret, doesn’t she know that when the wake up noise happens it’s time to get up!   This morning she sat up, looked around, laid back down and pulled the “it’s still night time Bess” blanket over her head.  Good thing my sister Belle taught me how to head roll my Margret out of bed.

What do these things have in common you ask? Well lets just say this morning’s bath didn’t stop me from licking my itchy leg.    My Margret and my Greg worked as a team, (they do that a lot) and while my Margret distracted me with my all time favorite snack CHEESE my Greg was busy with the buzzy shaver thing shaving off some of my beautiful fur. I couldn’t believe it, doesn’t he know how long it takes to grow it just right and then in the matter of a few pieces of cheese it’s gone!!!!

Then my Margret puts that white puffy powder stuff on it which of course I promptly licked off, then after that she sprayed this apple tasting vinegar stuff on it which is supposed to make everything better…I licked that off too.

The next thing I knew I was wearing the cone of royalty and my Margret put more of the white puffy powder on.  It’s enough to make even the happiest pup pout, which I did, and very well I might add!

The next thing I knew, my Margret was on the floor beside me and said my name in her gentle “I love you Belle and only want what’s best for you” voice and explained that they wanted to stop the itching before it turned into a hot spot, then she gave me a cuddle and another piece of cheese and you know things didn’t seem so bad anymore.

I. don’t. like. baths. at. all.

I don’t!

I’ve been licking my leg a lot the past couple of days and I’m not telling my Greg or my Margret why I am because it’s fun to make them guess why I’m doing that. Well it was until this morning when my Greg said “maybe a bath would help.”

I didn’t hear him say that so when my Margret told me to go upstairs with her I thought we were going back to sleep.  Humph!  Nope!

How much do I not like baths you ask?  Enough that my Margret has take me over to the tub and lift me in that’s how much.  Now I feel badly about that especially when I jumped out before my bath was finished and got the floor all wet and shook so hard my Margret got all wet. She told met that if she had wanted a bath she would have taken one.

She tried to go fast because she knows I don’t like baths and it does feels good getting towel dried but I still have to stay upstairs until I’m a bit drier.  *sigh*

My sister Bonnie stayed close to keep me company but she loves her bath so she really doesn’t understand why I don’t like mine.  But it was nice to have her keep me company.

We had company tonight!  Mrs. Melodie came to visit with us and it was a lot of fun!

My Margret had us practice polite greeting, we got lots of treats for that.  Mrs. Melodie kept telling me to  wait till it was my turn, I don’t think she knows how hard that is, but I tried.

We did such a good job that my Margret took  the gate thingy down and we got to get real close to Mrs. Melodie,  she smelled real good, she even let us lick her toes!

My sisters and I took turns sitting next to her to be petted. Do you know she can pet two of us at a time. She kept telling us that she would make sure to pet all of us and she did, she  petted Linus too even though he was being a pest!

We kept bringing her our tennis balls to show her. At one point she asked me to sit but I just stared at her, I wanted to fool her so she would give me a treat for sitting.  It worked!  but then she said “You did know what I wanted you to do!” so I don’t think it will work again, I’ll just have to figure out another way to trick Mrs. Melodie into giving me a treat.

I like it when we have company, I sure hope she comes back soon!

My Margret said it was my turn at the blog tonight because I haven’t had  a turn for awhile.

I’m the one who keeps everyone else in line and sometimes that can be quite a job but lately things have been pretty quiet, so quiet in fact I could almost doze off…..                                                                                                                                                              Well it’s been quiet unless  you count Bouncy Bess not believing the mouse is gone. She getting better because  today she has only given the water  a couple of sniffs.  I’m glad she’s almost over that because Bonnie and I had to keep reminding my Margret that we were being good so we wouldn’t get into trouble too.

My Greg shared his cashews with us the other night.  We all stood really close to remind him that we needed some too.  I got the most (well not really because he made sure it was even) but I should have because between my laying my head down on the chair and giving a pleading look I beg way better than my sisters.    Shhh don’t tell anyone but I practice when no one is looking.  It works really well, you all should try it.

We’re all really tired tonight, even Linus, because while my Margret and my Greg were at work it stormed really bad and we were kind of scared so now that everyone is home we’re ready to take a long nap, well at least until snack time.

I getting really good at my new job as mouse catcher.  Yesterday morning I found another one under our waterer. My Margret remembering what happened the day before didn’t want to deal with all of that before her first cup of coffee and told me that I needed to go outside in the pup pen for awhile.

When my Greg woke up he checked under the waterer and sure enough I was right, there was a mouse under there.  Linus just stood there and watched while my Greg took care of it.

All of this was going on while I was out in the pup pen so I didn’t know what had happened until Linus told me later.   As soon as I came in I ran right to the waterer to see if the mouse was still there.  I knocked the waterer around a bit just to make sure.

Even though Linus and my Margret told me it wasn’t I could still smell it so I was pretty sure they were wrong.  All evening I kept watch, Linus watched with me for awhile.

Finally today my Margret moved the waterer and put down a bowl of water,

She doesn’t understand why I’m not watching it anymore or trying to knock that over but anyone can see that there isn’t a mouse hiding under the bowl.  That silly Margret, what are we going to do with her?
