Honest Mom, I have absolutely no idea how this happened. I was just sitting here minding my own business and suddenly this role of paper towel with signs of being torn up landed right in my bed. Now, my input on this is that “The Rockman” visited us from the Rainbow Bridge and is playing a trick on me. You know how he loved to tear up paper and always blame it on one of us. Why are you looking at me like that? I have a feeling you don’t believe me for some reason.

Mom, Candice here is begging you to please tell the puppies that I would like some time of my own. Geez, I went through 60 plus a few days of pregnancy, an uncomfortable one to say the least. Then I have devoted my life for 8 weeks to nothing but caring for the babies. It is time for them to leave the nest! I can't even imagine taking care of them for 18 years or more like human's do! I need to kick up my heels and get back to romping and playing with the pupsters.

Echo here reporting in helping Dad with the laundry. You see he said he would help Mom out a bit, but I have feeling he is in big "doo doo"! You see I have watched Mom sort the laundry before and whites definitely do NOT get washed with the darks. ESPECIALLY her personal items. I couldn't help modeling a bit while Shilo took the picture before the "doo doo" hit the fan!!! Hope Mom isn't reading the journal...we may be in a bit of trouble right along side of Dad.

OK Mom, let's just discuss this before you get upset. Precious here is on the futon for the night and you have placed a protective gate around the futon so no one can fall off, correct? OK, so what is the big deal if I climb up on the arm to rest a bit? You would think I have committed the pupster crime of the century the way you act. I am mature enough and wise enough to know that I won't take a chance of falling off and hurting myself. You need to get a life and find something else to occupy your time rather than always checking up on me.

So, what do you think Freedom? Is it alive? Doesn't yellow mean caution? These other duckies, in Fauna and Scamps opinion do not look too menacing, but this one....mmmm...could mean trouble. See how he is holding his head? Well, maybe we better take a closer look at its' all together to determine if it is a girl or a boy, what do you think? Just wish Mom would let us take our baths with each other and not add these strangers to our bubble environment.

We had a very, very special visit from our Auntie Linda today. We have never been able to meet her because she is always on the road transporting and Dad picks up the kids she saves that join the rest of we pupsters. We can't even count the number of pupsters and other animals that are safe because of her love and devotion. She drives miles and miles to get the animals to safety within rescues. Now, we want to tell you that we thought Mom was out of control with a camera. Auntie Linda has her beat 10 times over. You should see the contortions and the weird noises that she makes to get a picture. It was quite the experience, but everyone of us loved, loved, loved her.

Whew, we are absolutely exhausted! Sorry we have missed a week, but there has been just too many things going on to mention. There are so many in need right now so Mom has been trying to help as many as possible by trying to get younger healthier babies to other rescues and making arrangements for those that we love the most...the special needs and seniors to join us. Then of course winter is going to hit us in the butt (aren't you proud of us Mom...we didn't use the word Dad uses) pretty soon so we have been getting everything ready for that.

Oh My, today was a rough one and we have a few more rough days to come. Our sweet, sweet Krista left us today. She has been with us since she was a puppy for she had physical issues that needed to be addressed. She filled every single one of our days with joy. Her toothy grin would melt anyone's heart and her sheer love for life kept a smile on Mom and Dad's face at all times. We are a bit jealous though because she gets to winter in Texas. We pupsters told her we would make a special pupster snowman for her and send her a picture. We love you Krista!

Uh, Chiffon, we have a little bit of advice for you. We think it would be a very bad move on your part should you choose to jump up there and even attempt to get at the food. You'd best put your tongue back in your mouth and really think this through. Mom was getting ready to feed us and had to make a quick dash to the bathroom. Little did she know that you would nudge the refrigerator door open because she didn't close it tightly. You'd best cover your tracks quickly because she will be back any minute!

What??? I can tell you right now that Estee here had absolutely nothing to do with Noodle's belly band coming off and I definitely did not have any part of tearing up the poise pad. Now you know I am not strong enough to pull that velcro apart on a belly band and I am definitely not a "Poise" person. I prefer Depends myself...softer, more absorbant and easier to swallow!

Mom, you need to do something about Coconut. He will not leave me alone. Always grabbing at my tail and whiskers, trying to lick my ears and the list goes on. I keep telling him he needs to go find a Pekey friend and leave this Scottie girl alone, but he ignores everything I tell him. Good news is that I can jump up on the furniture now and he can't. At least I get some reprieve from his amorous advances.

Hi everyone, my name is Becca. I am an 8 week old blind, hearing impaired Havanese baby. Mom put this stupid bell on me because even though I can't see I use my nose to investigate all that is around me and seem to end up in the strangest places. Now she can find me no matter where I am at. Sure cuts into my fun time! Not saying that I would get into anything you know.

Am I ever feeling great! I was a mess when Animal Control found me wandering the streets. Fleas were crawling all over me and when I got my first baths the shampoo ran red from all of my sores. Chili here is so thankful to be safe and loved. I have a heck of a time walking for my hind legs are so weak...I am no spring chicken you know. But our special ramp here is doing wonders for me. With good supplements and lots of exercise my overall health has improved unbelievably. Mom says I am the most handsome redhead she has ever smooched! Wonder how many redheaded affairs she has had...

We pupsters are absolutely infatuated with our new baby pupster sisters and brothers Winona, Shania, Judd and Twain. At first we thought Mom had brought home some new fleece toys for us to play with until we realized that they could move. We asked Mom why their noses were pink and their eyes blue with pink pupils and she explained what albino means. All we know is that they are the sweetest, cutest puppies we have ever seen and they even like to play with us!

Another one of those sad but happy days. Our Saxon left us today to travel to his Forever Home. We pupsters thought he would never find his home. You see Mom had a special place in her heart for Saxon...he is Sydney's son and all of you know how she feels about Sydney! Applications would come in and she would say, "Nope, not going there" and then his Mom's application arrived and Mom sat there with tears in her eyes and said she was finally going to have to let him go for the home was perfect. We hug and cuddle each other close after these goodbyes, but Saxon has emailed and said he is having the time of his life....little traitor!

Not that yesterday wasn't tough enough you know. Today we said goodbye to our Pockets. We wish Mom would schedule these days a bit further apart! Pockets was one of our best buddies and he had Mom and Dad wrapped right around his little paws. You know he was just a bit of a thing, but he thought he was a St. Bernard. You just didn't mess with Pockets! Leave it to Pockets for he went into his vaudeville routine for his Mom and Dad right away...that's our Pockets!

Today was a long day for Dad. Houston Pekingese Rescue contacted us and they had a little Pekey girl that was in need of our help. Dad flew to Houston, picked our Angelina up and was back home in the afternoon. We pupsters couldn't wait to meet this Texan girl and we fell in love with her immediately. We feel so badly for her because she has back issues that are very painful, but Mom and Dad assured us that they would do all within their power to help Angelina become pain free, healthy and whole once again. In the meantime we pupsters are cuddling her close.

Mom would you please come talk to Sydney? He will never share the cubicles! Mirila here would like to snuggle into one and he refuses to move. When I finally do gain access to the cubicle because Sydney gets up to get a drink of water, he then marches right back over and has no problem squeezing in with me. Now, it isn’t that I don’t like to share, but it sure is crowded! Now I know Sydney can’t see, but he sure can sniff down a cubicle in seconds. You really need to have a talk with him.

Benson here filing a pustergation complaint. Now Mom, haven’t you told all of us that we are all equal? It makes no difference what breed, color, or sex we are all to share, love one another and discuss our differences in a pupster adult manner. Well, as you can see Logan, Caprice, Marco and Marley have not been listening to you. They think that different colors belong together. You know we blondes would like to intermingle with the brunettes on occasion. So I think you need to pull the brunettes aside and have a little heart to heart talk with them!

There is just nothing better than a nice soft furry pupster to lounge around with. Dylan here taking a morning break from all of our activities. It gets a bit hectic here in the mornings. We all get up, then it is a race for the doggy door to see who can get out the quickest. Of course there are some who do not use the door so Mom helps them get out quickly in between cleaning up a few potty messes here and there which we obligingly try to walk through. Then it is a race with Mom to see who can pick up the poop the fastest. Then back inside to bark very loudly until we have had breakfast and of course we will drink nothing but fresh cold water so we make ourselves heard over that also. Whew, sure does tire us out and we are definitely ready for a mid morning nap.

Alright Mom, you need to step in and do something here! Macey will not leave my ears alone and is making a mess out of them. She claims because my hair is so silky that her saliva is a wonderful conditioning agent. Mitch here keeps telling her I am a guy and could give a pupster’s care less about the “condition” of my hair. Thank goodness most of my body is hairless or I would be one slobbery mess. I am begging you Mom to have a talk with Macey. Quit snickering…I do not deserve this at all!

Wow, the end of October already and yep, Mom had that darn camera going again! Cousin Tye visited us and didn't know enough to run for cover silly pupster. He should know if there is a holiday it is dress up time! We tried to warn him. We hope all of the children had a very safe Halloween and got more "Treats" than "Tricks". Every year we ask Mom if we can go Trick or Treating and her answer is always a big NO! But, at least we know November brings lots of goodies to us....we can smell that turkey already!
