Just Trying to Have Some Fun

Well
You prob'ly know by now about little Bella
(Granmoma's new Girl)
(This was a picture from a few days ago ... when we were still allowed to be Together
and I was worrying about her)

Now
Bella's gettin' better.

She's eating
and playing
and waggin' her Tail

but she's till snorting
and sneezing
and coughing

Her pneumonia must be gettin' better
but the nasty Bugs that caused all of this are still inside her
and gettin' blasted out

So
We're all quarantined from Each Other
by two DoggieGates


There's been lots and lots of Handwashing
and there will be for the rest of the time that we're Visiting

(Seems this Bug hangs on for weeks and weeks ...
and we don't want any other doggie to get sick)



Of course
We're being exceptionally good Pups
Behind the Gate
and on the Bed


We're entertaining Ourselves with Toys
and
New Unidentified Objects

(Soft, white, squishy, nice smelling ones, carefully wrapped in plastic)
(Ummm ... that photo up there was a little reenactment)

and
Let's Just Say
We had a Bit of Fun when Nobody was watching!
and

Please Notice

I said "We"
'Cause Fergi played a part in this, too
(Though she denies it)


But
The Good News?

Nobody got Mad
Nobody Scolded Us
We even heard a few Chuckles

Why?
Might be maybe 'cause
Now we've got "The Bug" too

Just a mild Case

(Snorting and Sneezing ... but no fever or loss of appetite or fewer tail wags)

and
Everybuddy is feeling a bit sorry for Us
All of Us

But
We Will Prevail!

(So long as we're kept in Good Tissue Supply)
(with Lots of Hugs and Loves)

xx
Jake and the other Pups

We are glad that Bella is feeling better, but we are worried about you guys! You take care of one another, and don't worry about the TP pawty. It is really quite inexpensive at Costco.

gussie n teka kisses to all

Princess Patches said...

You two should really try running through the house with one end of the toilet paper roll in your mouth! If you REALLY want to get some laughs from the peeps, try wrapping it around yourself a couple of times before running through the house! But, seriously, we hope you two don't get sick and we hope Bella is feeling better VERY soon!

Aire-hugs,
Penny & Patches

Hi Jake and Fergi
Tissue is absolutely my favourite thing! It feels so good in the mouth, doesn't it, as you rip it to shreds.
Keep having fun and please take care of yourselves (all of you, humans and dogs) get well soon.

Toodle pip!
Bertie.

PS It was seeing your Mom and your Girl modelling those tee shirts so beautifully that made Gail want one. I suggested she get the black, it looks great on Nina, but Gail tells me she looks all ashen and ghostly if she wears black.

Duke said...

We are glad Bella is doing better and we hope she continues to get better by leaps and bounds. It must be really hard to be all separated with gates--we know how much your family all loves being together. Please stay well, Fergie and Jake, and keep your spirits up --with paper crafts, cuddling on the bed, reading a good book, or whatever it takes. Sending healthy energy and love.

Farfel said...

Oh Jake & Fergi, for one terrible moment we thought you were in jail when we saw you behind those gates!
We are so sorry that Bella is poorly but glad she is on the mend.
We hope you two shake off this bug just as quick as you shook out those loo rolls.............goodness that looked fun!
We have never tried those although Martha has now ventured into shredding the mail....!!!!!
Watch out Jake, there will be no stopping Fergi now - once they get this shredding bug!
Now do take care - if you need any food parcels or anything flown in just let us know.
Much love
Martha and Bailey xxx

White Dog Blog said...

We are hoping that green is good at least in that the other issues are going away and the main bad bug can be gotten out. We hope that all are getting stronger and healthier and soon this will just be part of the wonderful story of how you all saved Bella!

Momma alternates between chicken jerky which is great and duck jerky (which is swooning food). We are almost ready to switch back to duck...but are So jealous of you!

Sending White Dog positive energy and love.

Bobby said...

I AM GLAD BELLA IS GETTING BETTER, I HOPE YOU DON'T GET TO BAD, YOU ARE A STRONG HEALTHY PAIR, SO HOPEFULLY YOU CAN FIGHT IT OFF BETTER THAN BELLA COULD.

Agatha and Archie said...

William Tell said...

Can they tell you were just trying to wipe your nosies with the tissue? That would have been my story. LOL

Hope you all are feeling better soon.

Happy Tails,

Tucker said...

This isn't really Angel Tucker talking, but I wanted to let you know that my family adopted a new Wire Fox Terrier today and he has his own blog at http://harleyswireyworld.blogspot.com/

Please go wish him a warm welcome. My whole family will be praying that ALLLLLLL the doggies out there fine furever homes like I did!!!

My momma says I better not pay attention to your pictures because she doesn't want me to learn any new tricks! tee hee hee!

hkairedalespack said...

Hope that everyone is feeling much better! And that Bella is doing great and getting stronger. She is a lovely little doggy. Tissue rolls are so much fun to play with - so easy to pull apart while they unravel!
Hugs, Miley and Mariah

Luna "The Scruffy Yacht Dog" said...

That toilet paper sure looks like fun to play with. I used to do that when I was a puppy but Mom and Dad frowned upon it.

Cassie said...

Hi kiddos! We could have sworn we commented on this post, but don't see our mark, so here goes again. Hope that Little Bella is all better now. What torture for you all to be apart! Looks like toilet tissue fun has kept you occupied though. bol. You guys are ahead in the voting on our MangoMinster2011 side Costume Contest on the Pooches Choice. BowWowZer! Are you at least getting to go to the beach when you're visiting Grandma?? Okay, gotta go now. Be well.
