Whew, we have been waiting a long time to see the flowers pop through the ground. Chantelle was out helping Mom today with a bit of early spring clean up. Chantelle did say that Mom was a bit upset with some other clean up that was going on. Our beautiful purple crocus were really looking good and then voila…the flowers were gone. Mr. and Mrs. Rabbit and their kids evidently love crocus. YUK, boy, are they confused. You don’t eat flowers you just enjoy their scent and beauty. We have a feeling Mom is not going to say to us anymore, “Hey kids, come and look at the cute bunnies in our yard.”

Mom, I really need some help with little Krista. She has taken a liking to me and I really want to help her get better. Do you suppose if I called Colleen, our animal communicator she could put me in touch with Aigner? We sure do miss her and especially at times like this. She was always the one who helped with the puppies so I know she could give JD here some really good advice. Besides, it gives me a wonderful excuse to talk to sissy even though she isn’t snuggling up close to me.

Things are totally out of control now! Mom will do anything to make the little ones happy. They said they were getting bored with their baths so Mom sent Dad to the store to buy some rubber duckies for them. Now, they don’t even want to get out of the tub! Reese loves Mr. Blue Ducky, Patina’s favorite is Ms. Pink Ducky, Nixie’s drawn to Ms. Yellow Ducky and Fiona and Caitlin have been having a bit of a heated discussion over Mr. Green Ducky. Dad had best head to the store and hunt down one more ducky in a different color before their next bath!

This is absolutely pupster ridiculous! Sydney absolutely adores our step sister Colette, but we pupsters think this is getting just a bit out of hand. We have to watch this display at least a dozen times a day. Actually we are a bit jealous because Sydney will not play with most of us, but all Colette has to do is wag her tail and talk to him a bit and he is ready to play like he was a puppy again. He will even let her pull on his ears. After playtime they snuggle in together for a nice long nap.

Well, Dad is busted again! Shilo snuck the camera out and snapped this picture to prove to Mom that Dad is sharing his Cheerios again with we pupsters! That darn Shilo, what a tattle pupster he is. Always trying to ruin all of our fun. Of course Mom had a nice little talk with Dad about nutrition and he just said OK, I won’t give them anything other than their raw diet, veggies or fruit treats again. When Mom left the room he just winked at us and said “Do you actually think she believed me?”
April 6, 2009
We pupsters think that by some coincidence Brynn and Marilee ended up here together for a reason. They almost look like a mother and daughter team don’t you think? We pupsters are going to use some of those search engines on the internet to try to hunt down their family tree. Wouldn’t it be great if we found out they actually are mother and daughter? Maybe we could get them on one of those TV programs where they could tell their story. Mom thinks we pupsters have gone a bit off the deep end on this one.

Ahhhh, there is nothing better than snuggling up to each other during naptime. Of course sometimes the bed does get a bit crowded. Actually if Champagne would quit insisting on crowding in there would be more room, but oh no, we get all nice and comfy and she suddenly shows up and plops her butt right down in the middle of us. We really think Mom and Dad should have a talk with her because she can be a bit pushy at times. Dad jokingly says her name should have been ChamPAIN…..we are in total agreement with that one!

Today was exciting for our sister Lorene because she met her Forever Mom and Dad. She was a bit nervous at first, but once she received lots of cuddles she relaxed and even shared some of her special kisses. She says she won’t miss us much, but we know she really will. Lorene will be in her glory now for she will be the one and only. Her Mom and Dad better watch out because she will be leading them around before they know it. We know her first email to us is going to be bragging about her toys, her bed, her Mom and Dad, her backyard, her house and the list goes on. That’s our Lorene! Hopefully when she meets any of the neighbor pupsters she will behave herself.

Mom, Delcey and Twila here have no idea about the attempted takeover of all of the toys. We know the poodle boys tried to tell you we were in on the conspiracy, but we weren’t, honest. We don’t even hang out with the boys. Well, maybe Pappy and Teddee, but they aren’t apricot and ditzy like the other boys. Actually there are some pretty good looking Tzu boys here that we have our eyes on. Oh wait a minute, we got a little off track, didn’t we? Tell you what, we’ll help retrieve all of the toys just to prove to you that we are innocent!
April 10, 2009
Today is Good Friday as everyone knows and we pupsters know what this day commemorates, but to us this day has another special meaning. Our Dad has been very ill for quite some time as all of you know. He went in for all kinds of testing this past week and we were all given the results today. There is no more leukemia in his body, his stem cell transplant has been a success and his blood counts are improving. His broken leg is healing, but Dad does have to use a walker. We pupsters get to take turns cruising around the house with him. Today was Bobo and Telly’s turn touring with Dad. We may have to beg him to keep this walker for this is way too much fun!

We Michigan pupsters are laughing hysterically! Does Nash really think he can catch this squirrel? Come on give us a break. He says he is baby sitting, but then he barks and runs after the squirrel. His feline brother Montgomery is just about as bad although if we pupsters had to place a bet on whom would catch the squirrel first we would go with Montgomery. Actually what we think they are really both after is the ear of corn Mr. Squirrel is enjoying. Mom said she was going to package up some bunnies for both of them so they could watch as the bunnies eat all of the flowers.

All of us pupsters would like to wish you a very blessed Easter. We hope that families have come together to share in this day. We hope that all children were successful on their Easter Egg hunt and found their most favorite egg of all. We pupsters tried to color Easter Eggs, but didn’t realize they were supposed to be boiled first…what a mess! On a side note….Auntie Jen, Kori here would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to dress up in these bunny sunglasses and slippers. And also to thank you for giving Mom the opportunity to drive us nuts taking pictures of all of us while laughing hysterically. Do you notice a little pupstercasm in my comments Auntie Jen?
April 13, 2009
You know it just doesn’t get any better than this. Of course Mom thinks we don’t know that she is taking pictures of us, but Haley here always sleeps with one eye cracked just a bit. Now Dylan and Dora are zonked out! It just feels so good to have a cushy soft place that we can go to and always have someone to cuddle. At times it gets a bit crowded, but you know what? We wouldn’t have it any other way and there are so many other pupsters out there that are not as fortunate as we are.
April 14, 2009
Well, it finally happened. We pupster guys have converted Dad. Mom is always teasing him about his “Harem”. Yep, all the girls seem to be drawn to him and vice versa. Brent and Reese have changed that. Dad is hooked on us now! All of us guys got together and did a surveillance on the girls to see what they were doing that was drawing Dad to them. Geez, it was so simple…bat your eyelashes…act totally defenseless…give lots of kisses and you are in!

I just want to let you know that the Rockman is not very happy with you right now Mom. First you yelled at me because I ate a poise pad, then I got disciplined for lifting on a chair, and then I found a roll of paper towels. Geez, give a guy a break, would ya? By the way, I do have my staunch supporters at hand at all times. JD says I am an OK guy, he even cleans my ears for me. If this look in my eyes does not convince you to back off a bit, I’ll have to resort to lifting my lips to show my pearly white teeth. Of course that has never worked before, but I do not give up easily!
April 16, 2009
Well folks spring has really sprung now! Our daffodils are going strong and we just love looking at the beautiful colors. Biscuit was out with Mom doing a bit of weed pulling and checking out the flower beds today. The sun was shining and we were actually having a heat wave…60 degrees. Hopefully the bunnies will leave our daffodils alone. If not we pupsters are going to do some research on bunny preventatives. There has got to be something to deter their appetites!
April 17, 2009
Mom, why would you even begin to think that either of us had anything to do with the confusion that arose today in regards to the missing treats? How could anyone get to them…they are under lock and key! Chantelle and Manolo here had absolutely nothing to do with it. Geez, can’t you see our halos? We would be happy to redirect you to some of the culprits that were responsible for this despupsterable crime.
April 18, 2009
Here we go again! New project going on. You see there are some of us that are very tiny so we have our own special deck area accessed through our own room with a doggy door. Mom and Dad are now creating a special play area for us. We of course are supervising as Dad tries to figure out what will please us the most. The bigger kids behind us, in case you haven’t noticed, are chomping at the bit to investigate what is going on. Nougat and Champagne are making sure that all is well with we little ones.
April 19, 2009
They are back! Miss Deery has been paying us a visit every day for the past week. Phew, she must have been very busy over the winter because there sure are a lot of new kids. We talked to Dad about this and wanted to know how this happens. He told us the deer stork brought them to Miss Deery. Geez, how stupid does he think we are? There has got to be a Mr. Deer hiding in the woods somewhere. He ought to be hiding. Shame on him for burdening Miss Deery with so many children when the cost of living is escalating.

Happy 39th Birthday Auntie Jan from all of the fosters in Florida! We decided to
give you a week poolside, sipping fruity umbrella drinks and reading books
on holistic dog care, surrounded by adoring pupsters. We know that is your dream vacation. Of course, the cabana boy (Dad) may be a little slower this year
on delivering the snacks and drinks. Mom says bring all of your bikinis
and she promises not to take photos to blackmail you into letting her
adopt certain Michigan foster pupsters....tee hee. We have plenty of pool floaties so bring all of the pupsters you can fit into the van. Hey, maybe we need a Peke A Tzu Rescue
Bus for trips to Florida.

Whoa! Someone needs to turn down the wind volume here. Peeka and Bishop are about to be blown away. Geez, the weather finally warms up and now we have to put up with wind gusts! Well, guess we had best try to fight our way back into the house. Hopefully Mom is watching and will come to our aid if we can’t make it! She’d best put a string on us that she can grab just in case we start to float away.
April 22, 2009
Geez Mom…you go down to the store and pay these unbelievable prices for rag pull toys and then we receive a care package with fleece pull toys and we love them! These are much softer, more pliable and fit much better in our mouths. Now, not that Haley is trying to tell you what to do. Just giving you some pupster consumer advice you know. OK, will have to admit that some of the pupsters here will probably have them destroyed within a day, but on the whole I think you really need to take a look at this. Just trying to give you some budgeting advice!
April 23, 2009
Well, here it is in brown and white….one of the culprits! We were gazing out the window and told Mom to come and look quick because now the bunnies are eating our grass! She quietly stood looking out the window and then turned to us and said “Have you ever had rabbit stew?” We just looked at her and said “UGH! You have got to be kidding!” She then started laughing at the disgusted looks on our faces. She said she was only kidding and loved the bunnies no matter what their faults.
April 24, 2009
We are all going into puppy cuts as the warm weather approaches so Newmie (Newman as you all know him by) received his puppy cut today. WOW, did it invigorate him or what? You know Newmie is 16 years old, but he let Mr. Smarty Pants Trevor know that age is not an issue when it comes to serious playtime. We are trying to talk him into joining in the wrestling matches, but he told us it would not be a match for he would win out every time!
April 25, 2009
We had some very special visitors today, but we are keeping it a secret. They came to visit some of us pupsters and were so very sweet for they brought Mom and Dad pizza and juice to drink. BUT, they didn’t forget we pupsters. We ended up with some yummy treats and some wonderful toys. There will be one of us going to our Forever Home in the near future…stay tuned for that very special day!
April 26, 2009
Honest Mom, Marco and I were just going to go for a little stroll. You know, we just wanted some time alone together. We promise there won’t be any pupster panky going on. I know you have told me not to get romantically involved with any of the foster pupster boys, but I just can’t help myself. Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, Marco is a hunk! Would it be OK if we just held paws?
April 27, 2009
Guess who’s back? Yep, it is Mrs. Robin. Last year when she left us we pupsters told Mom she needed to get rid of that nest. She told us no, it will survive through the winter and Mrs. Robin will come back to nest. She was right again…we hate it when that happens. You can’t see the eggs, but Mrs. Robin has four eggs that she is taking care of. Now, you aren’t going to believe this, but Mom was out at midnight taking this picture to catch Mrs. Robin unaware. She’ll do anything for a foster journal entry!
April 28, 2009
Geez, Ivory do you think you can holler any louder? Yep, Mom has done it again. More gates and we can’t get near the patio door. Not that we were scratching on the screen or anything. Of course the rest of we pupsters would like to point out that there are a lot of Maltese standing here. That is because they haven’t figured out how to go through the doggy door so we don’t feel a bit sorry for them. We keep telling them to just follow us, but it does no good. We think they are doing this just to get more attention from Mom.
April 29, 2009
Wow, Krista here thinks she is in love! Look at this handsome poodle! As you can tell by the look on Brody’s face he doesn’t appear to be very interested in me, but I am totally infatuated with him. We do have a problem though, he doesn’t have a long tail so I cannot pull on it. Wonder if I can reach his ears? Do you think he would be OK with that?
April 30, 2009
Boy, has it been fun around here the past few days! Mom is doing spring cleaning and promises that anything she is not using she will donate to a good cause. Funny thing is, Biscuit here has been following her around and for some reason those “things that are not used” keep getting shuffled from room to room. I do agree that spring cleaning was in order..look at the dust in this cupboard! I just hope it is over pretty soon so Mom can give her undivided attention to all of us once again.
