Happy Birthday Olivia Beth!!!

Today is Livvy's 6th birthday. It was spent by us being locked out of mom's bedroom because mom's friend came over and brought our friend Neo the dog. He got to sleep in the bed while mom put us in our cage! Unbelievable! It got better later on because Livvy got some cool new toys that I played with and our favorite rawhides (Dingo Brand). Later, mom and the kids sang Happy Birthday to Livvy and then my human brother, Connor blew out the candle and ate the ice cream.

Anyways, I just wanted to tell my little sister, Happy Birthday!!!

Love,
Belle

We are still alive!

We haven't posted in a very long time because we are too busy watching over our human siblings now. We have to make sure that they don't leave a crumb of food on mommy's floor so we watch over them while they eat to make sure they're not making a mess for us to clean up!

We've had a few days here and there of warm weather to play outside with the kids. I got to enjoy barking at people as the walked by the fence and Livvy kept mom busy playing "fetch" with her silly ball.

Nothing else really going on here. We are happy, healthy and loving our baby brother & sister. Lilly really loves me. She tries to torture me by pulling my ears or poking my eyes...but since she's a sweet little girl, I let her do it. I steer clear of Connor though, because that boy's rough on me! Livvy likes Connor and will let him drag her around. She just wants attention from wherever she can get it I guess.

Here are a few recent pic's of us. The first 2 are Livvy posing and waiting for mom to throw the ball for her to fetch it. The last 3 are of me. You can see in one picture I'm at the fence just waiting for someone to pass by so I can bark at them. In the others, I'm making sure the kids are ok.






Love,
Belle & Livvy

Our New Sister

Sorry it's been so long since I posted. I am never allowed online anymore because I'm too busy looking after my human brother and baby sister. Her name is Lilly and she was born on 3/18/2008. It really hasn't bothered me having her around because I know when she gets bigger she will give me tons of food like Connor does. All I do is stand near his high chair and he always makes sure to give me a bite of whatever he's eating. Livvy doesn't hover around like I do, so she doesn't get as much food. It's her loss I guess. I'm the smart one. :)

Mom took some pictures of me & Livvy with Lilly and some of us with Connor and Lilly both. I'm the one laying on the blanket with Lilly.

A couple updates

I just wanted to start out by saying that Boomer is no longer with our family. He has a new mommy and daddy that adopted him. They don't have other dogs or any children, so he gets a whole lot of attention that mommy and daddy couldn't give him. They were really sad to give him up, but they still talk to his new parents and hear how happy and SPOILED he is at his new home. Livvy and I are pretty happy too because he really just annoyed us when we would try to play. He was too big and always broke all our toys and would always try to steal Livvy's ball when she was playing fetch outside. I heard mommy and daddy saying that he was too needy and it wasn't fair to him because they couldn't give him all the attention he deserved because they had to give it to Connor, and of course save some for us too and now with the new baby coming, he would really get neglected. They say that Livvy and I have each other so we don't require as much attention. Boy, little do they know..Mom has been spending more time with us now since she doesn't have to spend some with Boomer.

The 2nd update is that mom and dad have not been letting us sleep in their bed anymore! We sleep in our cage! Can you believe that? Mom said that her belly's getting bigger and we climb around on her and keep her up at night. I don't know what she's talking about! She told me that it was really Livvy keeping her up, but it wasn't fair to just cage Livvy and let me sleep in the bed. Then I heard her bragging about how nice it was without dog hair in the bed. So it sounds like the cage is our new permanent bed for a while. We are not happy about it, but what's a beagle to do?

We're going to dress up for Halloween in a few weeks to help Nana pass out candy to the trick or treaters. Mom & Dad are taking Connor out for a bit so he can get some candy. Mom's gonna try to get our costumes today. She had one for me but decided to get something else. I'll show you a pic once she gets it.

Nothing else to report for now. Just hanging out and enjoying Connor feeding us all the time! Oh I have a picture of him and I chill'n in my dog bed with some Goldfish Crackers that I'll post for you.

Love,
Belle

La La La La....La La La La...Elmo's World

I just wanted to do a quick post to show you my new favorite toy. Connor got it for his birthday last weekend, but I LOVE IT!!! Notice he kicked me out of it in the last picture.

Love,

Happy Birthday Olivia!!!

Today is Livvy's birthday. She turned 4 years old! She didn't really do much for her bday, and hasn't got her presents yet. (Mom didn't make it to the store).

We've been busy hanging out in the sun and sleeping in the cool a/c all summer. We have some news to share. We're going to have another human brother or sister. This time, mommy's growing him/her in her belly. We still have a while before the new addition joins us, but mom is sooooo grouchy lately. She never wants to play and is sleeping a lot. I don't mind because I love napping with her.

Connor is turning one in a couple weeks, so mom & dad are having a big bday party for him. How come we didn't get BIG parties? I know we get gifts, but I want a big party with all my doggy friends. I think I will let mom know what I think about that!

Well I better get back to bed. I know I haven't posted much but I don't have time to get online because I have to babysit Connor and make sure he doesn't get into any of my toys!

Love,
Lulabelle :)

I'm Five...

Happy Birthday to me!!!! Today I turned 5, which means I'm a year older than my mom now (in dog years). Mom got me a cute birthday toy and my favorite of all rawhides..DINGO brand! Oh how I LOVE THEM!!! They had "double meat" in them so they tasted even better!!!

Well I just haven't had a lot to write about lately. Mom usually hogs the computer writing about baby Connor. He's getting big and he seems to like to grab my fur and my ears. Mom says I am the best with him out of the 3 of us dogs, because I will just lay there and let him torture me. Livvy and Boomer take off the minute he crawls near them. I like the little squirt though. Besides, he gives me food crumbs when he's in his high chair.

I've been having problems with my hip again. Mom had to get me some anti-inflammatory pills from the vet to help me feel better. I took a few and feel much better now, thank goodness.

We went to visit great-grandma in PA a few weeks ago. I LOVE going to visit people! Great-grandma was so awesome! SHe kept giving me bites of her food when she was eating. One night dad and Connor went to bed, and then mom told Livvy and I to come upstairs with her for bed. She got upstairs and realized there was only one beagle with her. Well I had to stay downstairs and make sure great-grandma didn't need my help eating her cheesecake! Mom came downstairs and said "Lulabelle Mae, get upstairs right now!" and then she started laughing! Great-grandma was calling me her "little friend" because I was always by her side, the whole time we were visiting.(Hey, I'm not dumb, I know who "butters my bread".) Oh mom and dad thought I got lost while we were there. Great-grandma lives on a busy street and doesn't have a fenced in yard, so they were being extra careful about opening the door when they would go outside, so we didn't sneak out. Well my hip was bothering me so I needed a quiet place to curl up for some alone time. Mom and dad looked everywhere for me, and started to freak out thinking I snuck out the door somehow.Finally, I came crawling out from under great-grandma's bed and they were so releived. Later, I went missing again, but mom found my hiding spot that time.

Nothing much else going on here. Mom has been taking us for walks with her & Connor. She usually attaches the leash to his stroller so we can't wander to far from the sidewalk and it's easier for her to not have to hold the leash and push the stroller. She said it's too hard to take both beagles at once, so she takes turns with us. It makes me mad when I don't get to go and Livvy does!!!

Well I better go and get to bed. Since I'm an old lady now, I need my beauty sleep!Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy!

Love,

Lulabelle
