My Margret says I have funny stand/lay down positions. You mean everyone doesn’t do this? ~ Bea Pup

Hmmm do I get tired of bringing in awesome pieces of wood? Nope! ~ Bea Pup

You know when you put yourself to bed because your people stay up to ridiculous o’clock (midnight) because of storms then your My Margret still wakes up at the normal time but you just want to go back to sleep? Yeah that. Zzzz ~ Scruffy Pup

But WHY can’t we come outside to help rake up pea gravel and put down mulch?

Scruffy: I can help you use the rake. I’m strong!
Bea: I can pick up big(ish) pieces of mulch!
Bessie: I can bark at all the imaginary whatchamacallits and make them go away!

It’s not fair!!!
~ Scruffy, Bea and Bessie Pups

When you’ve had a big day of sniffing new smells it makes for a “fall asleep where you land” nap. Zzzz ~ Bessie and Scruffy Pups

I wonder if I should go and investigate? ~ Bessie Pup

Yesterday was a good day! I patrolled the pup yard, barking reports when necessary (and even when it wasn’t). I tried to roughhouse with Bea but for some reason My Margret said Sweet Girl, not yet although it sounded a lot like “No!?!? You’re going to rip your stitches! She worries too much.
I didn’t guzzle my water and even left some of the cup I can have every two hours. I really like boiled chicken and rice and ate it all up. Scruffy told me it was good and she’s right!
My Margret said I’ve turned the corner, I’m not sure what that is but she and My Greg were happy about it. I ended the day cuddling with My Margret, I really wanted her seat but I liked the cuddle too.

Same desk, Same pup, still the favorite place to be especially when My Margret is working at the desk. She says I keep her feet warm. Bonus: I blend in so well it’s sometimes hard to see me! ~ Bea Pup

My Margret fixed me up a “just for me” nest in the front room. I really want to be with everyone else but My Margret said it’s just for a little while until my tummy isn’t as “angry”. I didn’t know tummies could be angry but that’s okay Herbert the Red and I get to hang out.

Oh hey guess what!?!? We found out I’m pretty famous at the animal hospital, the tech who took us back to a room yesterday squealed and said “Oh this is the dog who ate a bunch of rocks!”
Hmmm…Bessie the Dog Who Ate A Lot Of Rocks…that sure sounds more exciting than Bessie Boo ~ Bessie Pup

Note: Bessie has always tended to guzzle large amounts of water. This in turn is adding to her nausea so she can only have small amounts at a time until she’s recovered a bit more from her surgery. As one can imagine this is impossible to do with a communal bowl and three dogs. Bess will of course be spending time with all of us and cuddle and explore all the smells in the pup pen when Greg or I are right there beside her. ~ Margret

My Margret was so happy that I felt good enough last night to get a toy out of the toy box that she wanted to take my picture. My sisters decided they wanted their pictures taken too and ran up to her and posed. She says we are silly pups but she always says it with a smile and ear ruffles. ~ Bessie Pup

Note: Bessie is getting better. Yesterday was a mix of keeping things quiet and calm for Bess and assuring Bea and Scruffy that their world was ok and that Bess would soon be able to roughhouse again. Full recovery is going to take awhile but she’s off to a good start. 💕
