April 1, 2008
Welcome to April and the first signs of spring for we pupsters! Giselle here enjoying a bit of sun and our first flowers. Carmella sent me a message from the Rainbow Bridge. She said Mom would really be in need of a pupster gardener beside her as she worked in the flower beds this year and knew that as Mom bent down to plant that first flower without her by her side she would be in tears. So here I am Mom! Ready, willing and able to join you in your gardening adventures…we will plant our garden together just as you did with Carmella.

Geez, this is ridiculous! Jenna sent this picture to us…hope Auntie Floellen and Unkie Dan know she has computer access. Of course she had to rub it in that she gets all of this lap time and told us she has weaved her wonderful magic on her Dad and he is now hers forever! We do have to give our Jenna credit though…she knows how to bat those eyelashes, wiggle her butt, roll her eyes a certain way and your heart just melts.

HURRAH! The sun is out…not real warm yet, but we pupsters are ready! Our play area is finally open to us for the ice and snow melted slowly. Still a bit of cleanup to do, but we are so glad that we once again have lots of room to romp and play…has been a long winter. Butler is having a really good time just enjoying the sun and getting his dental workout. We are all looking forward to lots of sunny days where we can relax and enjoy each others company.

Awe, to heck with the tongues…let’s get into some serious smile competition. Spice here showing you what a pupster smile is all about. Frankly I think I have one of the best smiles of any pupster out there. I bestow this toothy smile on Mom and voila….I get anything I want. My smile is worth its’ weight in treats let me tell you. The other pupsters are wasting their time on betting on wrestling matches while I am gathering treats behind their backs.

Our sweet Holly left us today and we shed tears of sadness and joy. We pupsters just love Holly so much. She was the gentlest pupster and we loved to cuddle with her. She sure won Mom and Dad’s hearts. She would get up on her little hind feet and do a special dance and it worked every time. She was in their arms in a flash. She promised she would email and send lots of pictures of her sister Nina and her Mom and Dad.

Yoo Hoo, Babsey could you just pay attention for a few minutes please? You have been napping most of the day. Promise here needs someone to talk to. I can’t talk to Mom about this for she wouldn’t really understand. You know I am really in love with Jonas. Yeh, I know he is a Shih Tzu, but I just can’t help myself. Well, he just doesn’t seem to have any interest in me so I was wondering if you could give me some advice for all the boys seem to really like you. Maybe I need to change my hair color or my hair do.

Oh for pupster’s sake Kaiser, do something! All of us boys have bet our last treat on you for this wrestling match and Champagne already has you down for the count! Quit being such a woosy and take control. You don’t need to show her any favors just because she is a girl you know. She willingly offered to take part in this match. Get tough boy, and let her know this is a pupster man world!

Lorre and Treasure here getting ready to file a complaint. See that flash of black and white in the upper right hand corner of our picture? Well, that would happen to be Miles. He will not slow down for a minute, is constantly stealing our toys, never watches where he is going and we two girls have had enough! We need to set up some guidelines for Mr. Miles before he drives all of us crazy! We think he might be a candidate for Prozac….don’t tell Mom we said that!

April 9, 2008
Oh come on Mom…please let us in. We promise to be very, very good. Actually it wasn’t Benjamin and Oliver’s fault that things got a little out of hand. Twila here will have to admit that I kind of led them astray and I promise I won’t do it again. Tell you what, I will help you clean the house, take out the trash and anything else that you request. I’ll even help with laundry and you know I hate doing laundry!

April 10, 2008
Hey Macy….isn’t this great? We have our own lawn chairs on the deck now. Actually they are our little brass beds, but Mom knew we would so enjoy them out here. Uh, Macy are you paying attention to Elizabeth here? Anyway, the biggest obstacle is to make sure that some of the macho boys do not “mark” on these. Mom said not to worry, that is what the washing machine is for, but I think she should belly band every single one of those that even consider lifting a leg.

April 11, 2008
Today is a lesson for all in getting along. Here we have Harlan a Chinese Crested, Kiwi a Poodle and Chantilly a Maltese. As you can see all are contented being together. Each may be different in their own ways, but Mom and Dad have told us never to judge what is on the outside, but to look deep within the hearts of others around us. You know it is amazing how many good hearts we have found!

April 12, 2008
Well as you can see the dancing lessons continue and now Kiwi has joined Trenton and Shane in this endeavor to become graceful on their paws. We really think this is becoming a lost cause. No matter what kind of music they are dancing to they just cannot seem to stay with the beat and they all refuse to really pay attention to the steps. They do OK for about two minutes and then suddenly their version of the dance appears. We give up!

April 13, 2008
Did you know that pupsters are foot warmers? Well, welcome to Mom’s world. Jewel here was all settled in under the computer desk for the evening and then Mom shows up…takes her shoes off and for some reason everyone is suddenly drawn to the area. It is disgusting actually….must be she puts something on her feet to draw the pupsters in. Oh well, guess I’d just best settle in for the night and be thankful that I have so many friends to snuggle with.

April 14, 2008
For pupsters sake Champagne would you please get off my back? If we get caught in this dish washer we are in big trouble. The intention was to see if there was anything left to lick off the plates or silverware when Mom wasn’t looking. She kind of got sidetracked…think she had to do a quick potty break and forgot to close the door. You are definitely hindering my licking abilities here I want to tell you. We’d best exit this area immediately or we are going to be facing a huge timeout.

April 15, 2008
Well, spring is trying to arrive. Morgan here was keeping Mom company today as she checked out all of the flowers that are beginning to bloom. Tell you what, we think spring is here during the day and then whammo the temperature drops to below 30 at night….brrrrr! We have had enough of this and are trying to figure out how these flowers can be so perky after spending all night outside in the cold weather, but trust me I am not going to be the one to snuggle them through the night…I am staying inside with my pupster friends!

April 16, 2008
Oh for pupsters sake! We thought we were passed this and here we go again. Harvey will not listen to anyone and he keeps showing his all together. On top of that he smiles gleefully every time he does this. We pupster girls have about had it with this display of pupstergraphic display. He’d best wipe the smile off his face or he may be missing a few parts…..don’t tell Mom we said that though.

April 17, 2008
Hey Dad, can we help you at all? Hurry up and get that air conditioner in the window. Mom is already mumbling about being too warm. Geez, first she says she can’t wait for winter to be over and now she is grumbling about heat. Just can’t please her sometimes you know. Hey, don’t you think central air would be the answer? We’ll take some courses on the internet and maybe we can handle that! Less work for you and less complaining from Mom and we won’t be tripping over all of these fans.

April 18, 2008
Well, I am here to tell you that I am no dummy! Don’t see Calla resting her head on this hard rock do you? If you will remember it was the guys that were using it as a pillow. We pupster girls have a bit more intelligence than that. I have been sitting here contemplating why anyone would be attracted to this rock as a pillow. I was thinking maybe the pupsters on the rock would talk to me, but nothing so far.

Today was a wonderful day. Lorre’s Mom’s came to visit her and they brought Sashay along. We hadn’t seen her in so long. She looked fabulous and still bestowed her toothy grin on all. Lorre will not be going to her Forever Home until May for her Mom’s had trips planned and didn’t want to bring her home until they would be with her 24/7. She acted a bit shy at first, but after a few massages, kisses and cuddles she realized what a wonderful future is in store for her.

Mom, I am telling you that Grady insists that I suck on his ears. He won’t leave me alone about it. I know they really get slimy and Barry here will try to keep my saliva under control. Actually, this is a really good exercise, keeps my tongue healthy, teeth clean and jaws strong. MMMM, maybe this is something we could market. Pupsterific Mouth Exercises by Barry. I’ll start working on that tomorrow. Who knows when my book is published I may be famous!

April 21, 2008
Geez, Mom do we really have to get up? Seems like we just went to bed a few hours ago. We do not even smell the pupster coffee brewing…how do you expect us to get a jump start on our morning without that? Jonas and Bishop here have been talking. When an application comes in for us we are going to require that our Mom/Dad does not get up until at least 10:00 AM, we can then have a nice brunch together and start our day.

April 22, 2008
What do you mean we have to move???? You can fit in here somehow. Yeh, we know you are trying to work on emails and other stuff, but we so love to be close to you Mom. You can just tuck your feet up into the chair and you will be good to go. Of course the best scenario is if you would just crawl in with us. You know how much we love that. To heck with getting anything done, we need some lovin’ here. Awww, we knew we could talk you into it….you are such a softee…

April 23, 2008
Whoa, a double birthday! That means double the cake right? Auntie Ruth and Auntie Sandy celebrated their 29th birthday today. Did you know we pupsters can only count to 29 when it comes to birthdays? I think Mom has us brainwashed. When we drew straws to see who would be the birthday pupster for Auntie Ruth and Auntie Sandy, Ming was the winner. We think he cheated though. Sometimes he can shall we say be a bit devious? We all wish two of our most favorite Aunties the best birthday ever and send them lots of our special kisses.
PS: We would guess that a special cake package is on the way!

April 24, 2008
Well, would you look at this! Dora and Dylan are being fostered by our Auntie Jeanine now and Dora sent us this picture of her wrestling with Papi, her step brother. Yep, you got it, he is down for the count! Kind of embarrassing for a guy you know, but if he doesn’t know Dora very well, he knows her now! She is a fierce wrestling competitor and is determined to win all of the treats. Hope everyone there put their treats on Dora. If not they will have to listen to Dora crunching on their treats for the next week or so.

April 25, 2008
Every day we wait patiently for Dad to frequent the kitchen. You know he just cannot resist our big eyes soulfully begging for a treat. We will have to admit that he is good about giving us healthy stuff. Of course Mom has a lot to do with that…she is always lecturing him (you know he is such a softee)…don’t give them this…don’t give them that…geez she sure can ruin our fun sometimes. Today was apple day and we surely love apples! So we guess healthy food is OK and really appreciate Mom looking after our nutritional needs.

April 26, 2008
OK Pappy, let’s get something straight right now. When I am cuddled up in a bed it belongs to me at that particular time. You can stare me in the eye, pat your paws at me, whine and look pathetic, but it isn’t going to work. Brewster here is not affected by all of that. Call me selfish if you want, but that’s just the way it is. Besides I have seniority over you. You need to take a look at the pupster rules in place for all of us. I’ll get you a copy after my nap.

April 27, 2008
Oh my, Kado here is so embarrassed I cannot look you in the eye. Today Dana and I went to our new foster home. We were so excited for we will be reunited with Anastasia and then this happened. Mommy Elaine brought these cute dresses to show Mommy Jan and you got it…they put one on me. Now notice I am very manly…see my pirate belly band? I see absolutely no humor in this and would hope that I will quickly have a wardrobe that definitely does not include pink and frills!

April 28, 2008
Whoa, we hit the bonanza today! Mom left her package of Raspberry Fig Newtons within our reach. There seems to be a few cookies left in this package and Jake here is so excited I can’t get this silly grin off from my face. Now, we just need to figure out how to get into this package quietly. Mom seems to have some built in sensor to different sounds and we need to break into this package quietly or we will never reach the cookies!
