Catching Up

Hello everyone! Sorry we haven't posted in a while, but we have been sooo busy. There are still so many things to explore and learn, and mom always seems to forget her camera when we are being the cutest. 


We are really working on the potty thing mom keeps talking about. She bought us a bell to ring when we need to go outside, and it is our favorite toy. We love the way mom and dad jump up to take us outside whenever we touch it. They seem to be catching on that we don't really NEED to go outside every 15 minutes because sometimes they make us touch it 2 or 3 times before they will take us out.


When we are outside, we love to run, dig, and eat anything interesting we can find. We have a pretty good hole in one of mom's flowerbeds that she isn't too happy about, and she keeps telling us to get out of there. She keeps saying we would be in big trouble if she had already planted her flowers. I guess we will find out how big of trouble in a month or so. We also love to dig in the horseshoe pits - that sand is very easy to move so we can make holes really fast. Of course, mom and dad always fill them right back in. We don't know why they do that because they know we are just going to dig them again. 

Mom keeps talking about gluing Marbles' ear. Something about it sticking up too much. We don't see anything wrong with it, do you?

Mom and dad invited some of their friends over to visit us. They were all very nice, and one even tried to hide Marbles in his jacket, but mom caught on to that real quick. We were very careful not to get stepped on with all those people around. We were very tired by the time everyone left, and we actually let mom and dad sleep all night.


We have learned that when a certain loud sound comes from the bedroom, mom will be getting up to feed us. So, we have started barking and yelping when we hear it, just in case she doesn't hear it. Dad will then take us and put us in bed with mom, and Cocoa loves to snuggle up to her. Marbles runs all over the bed until mom gets up, which usually only takes a couple minutes.


Grandma Pat gave us a new cool toy to use. Mom calls it a tunnel, but we think it is just another way to get more treats. Marbles loves to run through it, and Cocoa likes to inspect every inch until he finds a treat. We have a feeling there is a reason Grandma got it, but we have no clue what that is.


We are very excited because mom and dad are going to start taking us to a puppy class starting on Thursday, April 26. They say we are going to make new friends and have a lot of fun. Ever since they told us we are going, we have been getting more treats. They tell us to do something like "Sit," and if we do it, we get a treat - so we always do it.




 We are going to go for now, but we will let you know about all the new friends we are going to meet!

I have been waiting and waiting to get away from Marbles long enough to post my blog, and I finally did it. We have been very busy the past couple of weeks, and you get to read all about it.

To start things off, the parents ran out of dog food, so they went to get more. Unfortunately, they couldn't find the kind we were eating. Mom let the store employee and dad convince her that they had just changed the packaging and the food inside was the same - BIG MISTAKE! Mom realized it immediately after opening the bag and feeding us one time, but the damage was already done. She found the food the next day and put us back on it, but it took several days and lots of yogurt to get us back to normal. I wasn't as bad as Marbles - mom said something about Old Faithful shooting out her rear end. We are back to our original food and everything is good now.

I always seem to get into places that I can't get out of, and it scares me. One of the worst places is in the entertainment stand. I go in through the back and I can see everyone because the doors are glass, but I can't get out until someone comes and saves me. I always forget how scary it is until I get back in there, and I freak out all over again.



Our favorite place to be is outside. We love to run around the fire pit and play tag. We chew on all the branches hanging out of it, and Marbles always wants the one I have. I don't know why she doesn't just get one for herself, and I have started telling her that since I am getting bigger. The big dog, Sidney, is starting to play with us more. We had a game of tug, but she wins even with both of us pulling against her. The cats are even coming around a little bit. I jump on Bones every opportunity I get, and he doesn't make that awful hissing sound as much as he used to. Mom keeps telling me he is going to get me one of these days, but he hasn't done it yet.









We get to go see Dr. Rick on Saturday to get some more shots. We are not looking forward to it, but it gets us closer to being able to play with all these other dogs Mom and Dad keep talking about. They say they come in many sizes, so we are hoping there are some little ones for us to pick on!
