Bea: Belle, why do you get to be in the dining room while My Margret is sorting through really cool stuff and we don’t?
Belle: Because I’m a good girl and know how to leave the really cool stuff alone.
(Note: if the “really cool stuff” included paper items, pens, or fabric Belle would be in the kitchen with her sisters. 😉)

Bea: Please?
My Margret: Yes, ball Bea!
Bea: Yes that’s my ball.
My Margret: Get your ball!
Bea: Wait, really, we get to play!?!?!

I brought in a rock to show My Margret this morning but Scruffy wanted to roughhouse while I had the rock in my mouth. So My Margret decided to trade a treat for my rock.
Now anyone who knows me knows I don’t give up treasured items easily and I placed a very high value on this particular rock. So I did what any pup would do and said no, thank you to the mini treat because come on this rock was worth the medium size treat at the very least!

The other day I wanted to cuddle with My Margret. I tried to jump up on the bed but it’s too tall and I bounced back hard to the floor. Yesterday My Margret put this tote there to help me. I barked at it A LOT but eventually the climby thing and I came to an understanding and I figured out how to jump up on it. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to jump up on the bed after that. My Margret says training treats are a wonderful thing, I agree keep them coming!

I’ll be here just in case you need a break from cleaning and want to play ball. ~ Bea Pup

My Margret told me I look like the Slinky Dog when I lay like this. I don’t know what that means but ok. ~ Bea Pup

The Abbott Watcher Pups are on the job!
Scruffy: Did you see that?!?
Bessie: The big rumbly truck scooped up the big garbage can like it was nothing!
Bea: Good thing we’re in here!

Us? Oh we’re just doing a little lazy roughhousing, why? ~ Scruffy and Bea Pups

You found them! Come on let’s play!!!! ~ Bea Pup
(note: the lost treasure trove of tennis balls were discovered while I was sweeping under the living room furniture. A few minutes later Bea found them and started to bark her “hurry, let’s play” bark. You know what happened next. 😉)

Whatcha doing? ~ Bea Pup
