We Are House Puppies


We are House Puppies, originally uploaded by cheryl.

Grammy and Pappy are out of town this week on vacation, and Cousin Louie came to our house to stay. He was incredibly excited to see us, but was not at all impressed with his accommodations.

The two puppies together get wild and loud, and we often resort to putting them into the back yard to get some of that wild energy out. They're happy to go, at first, but quickly change their minds.

They are house puppies, they tell us. And the really want back inside now, please.

Louie would also like to request a different sleeping arrangement. We had both puppies in the sun room, where Buster usually sleeps, but they kept getting into it. Louie is a bit of a pest, and Buster kept growling and snapping at him. We finally moved his bed into the nice, quiet living room. But that didn't suit Louie either. He would like to request that he not be expected to sleep in a room by himself. He whimpered half the night because we did not let him sleep in one of the bedrooms (which have carpet, and are thus off limits to someone who sheds the way Louie does).

It's tough, being spoiled house puppies.
