and they call me ... THE POOPSICLE HUNTER!

Kumquaty now has several names that she refers to me by... Poopsicle Hunter, Pooper Trooper, Poopzilla. Apparently, I am quite fabulous in my hunting skills. I love to run around outside searching under the snow for frozen treasures.

Kumquaty keeps complaining that she cleans up everything and yet I still find POOPSICLES!! She just doesn't have my beagling abilities! It's very exciting to find the treasures and I like to find them, grab them, and run around all over the place! If all the smoothies are inside when I find a poopsicle, I run around outside and then run inside the house to show everyone before devouring the yumminess!! For some reason all the smoothies chase after me to try and take my poopsicle in exchange for smelly yummies. I usually give in.

I always like to warm up when I come inside with a little rest on the warm floor.

I Graduated!

Every week Kumquaty, Spikey Head and I go to a big furry store and a smoothie teaches me and bunch of other little furries to do things with our smoothies. The whole store smells like furries and smelly yummies its very hard to concentrate on what we are supposed to be doing.

This week was the last week and all my furry friends and I graduated. The smoothie that teaches us even told Kumquaty that I have the best attention span of the puppies she's taught. (I'm a smartie pants!)

Here are a few shots that Spikey Head took of me and Kumquaty working together.

This is me and my friend "Scrappie" in a sit-stay.

Here we are in a down-stay.

This one is me and Kumquaty in a "watch-me" while loose leash walking. We work pretty well together and Kumquaty always has lots of smelly yummies for me!

ouch, ouch, ouch :(

Well, I had quite the week last week.

I went back to school with Kumquaty one day and got to see all the smoothies who took care of me when I was first staying there. We had fun, they poked me a few times and held me hostage in some dark room but I got lots of smelly yummies and they all made faces and played with me!

We went back to school a few days later ... and that is where the fun ended.
At first everything was good and all the smoothies were making faces at me and playing with me. Kumquaty and I hung out and had a nap together.

When she had to go back to class some smoothies came in to get me and took me into a big room where there were lots of smoothies. I thought it was going to be lots of fun and I would get to meet everyone but instead the last thing I remember was being poked and then I fell asleep.

When I woke up I had no idea what was going on and my belly felt funny. There were smoothies all around me. I screamed and screamed to let them know that somethign wasn't right, but they didn't seem to do anything. Why didn't they understand that something was wrong!! A furry does not just scream without reason!  Finally, Kumquaty came to see me but another smoothie asked her to leave when I started screaming again.

They poked me again and I felt all tired and didn't have the energy to scream anymore. Then they put some big white thing around my neck and carried me into a room with my bed and my blanket in it where I fell asleep.

The next morning Kumquaty came to see me and I was feeling much better. I hadn't seen her in such a long time so I had to get up and greet her properly with licks and tail wags!!! My belly hurt a bit and I still had the big "cone" thing around my neck. It was very hard to walk around in. I kept running into things. My belly was all itchy and I couldn't even scratch it. Who would ever put this thing on me! Plus it is very unattractive...it makes my ears look huge!!

Kumquaty told me that I had been "spayed", as if I know what the heck that means. All I know is that it was quite unpleasant and I would NOT like to do it ever again!
