Mama!

What is it Pretzel?

What are you cooking up there?

I’m making chili lime salmon, rice and Brussels sprouts. Why do you ask?

I was hoping maybe you were making something we could eat.

What did you have in mind?

Well, Biscuit said that she loves to eat cucumbers and eggs. Eclair said she loves sharp cheddar cheese and strawberries. I like bananas, carrots and crackers. Do you think you could make something with those?

How about I finish making people dinner and then find something for you?

I don’t know Mama. I’m really hungry down here. Super hungry!

You just ate about 20 minutes ago.

That was so long ago. Biscuit and Eclair are hungry too.

I think all three of you are full of beans. I’ll make you a snack later.

Fine. Hope I make it until then.

Listen Drama Queen…

Love you Mama.

Love you too Pretzel.

Mama! Mama!

What Biscuit?

After all this time, do you think our friends remember us?

I’m pretty sure they do. And I bet they have missed us. We have been gone so long.

You haven’t shared that Eclair has new legs, that Pretzel keeps causing trouble and that I’m perfect and fluffy as always.

Perfect? I’ll agree with fluffy but perfect….

You know I am, Mama.

Yes, you are the perfect Biscuit!

And so are these air biscuits! *runs out of the room laughing*

Biscuit, enough with the farting.

We fart, too, Mama!

Yes, I know Pretzel. All three of you can clear a room in seconds flat. But, not now…. ugh! Pretzel, you have got to stop with the fart and dart. Eclair, don’t even think about it!

We love you Mama. It’s how we show our love.

Eclair, there are better ways to…. geez!

It’s a b***y tooty, Mama!

I don’t care what it is. All three of you are stinky.

Love you Mama!

Love you too! Just please stop trying to smoke me out of the room!

💜🐾💜

Note from Mama:
It’s been a crazy time around here. Between work travel, Eclair’s surgery and life in general, I’ve been stretched thin.

Eclair is doing better than ever. She had surgery for luxating patella on her right rear leg. Her zoomies have gotten so much faster!

Biscuit and Pretzel are as goofy as always. There is never a dull moment around this house! Honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way 💜

The trolling scammer has been blocked. I’m sorry some of you had to deal with them.

Mama

09/09/2023

Mama, mama, mama!!

What Pretzel?

Why do they have those and I don’t?

What are you talking about?

They both have white fur and brown splotches. I want splotches.

Don’t worry, you’re getting splotches. But yours are silver.

Why can’t I get brown?

Yours are silver because you’re special. Biscuit is fluffy because she’s special and Eclair has long spotty legs because she’s special.

*Biscuit sneaks into the room* Mama! Why did you call me fluffy?

Would you rather I call you Farty?

You can’t call me that anymore.

Why is that?

Pretzel! That’s why! She tried to smoke me off the couch.

Let’s just say you all have your stinky moments!

*Biscuit whispers to Pretzel*
On the count of three…

I can hear you!

Stop listening all the time Mama!

Learn to whisper and I won’t!

💜🐾💜,
Biscuit & Pretzel (Eclair is napping in her hut)

Note from Mama: sorry we’ve been gone for so long. Everyone and everything is ok. We’ve just been very busy. Although these sleepy time pictures say otherwise!

28/06/2023

Mama!

What Eclair?

She’s doing it again. Make her stop.

Who is doing what?

Pretzel. She keeps sleeping beside me. And she keeps farting.

She sleeps by you because she loves you. As far as the farts, she has insanely stinky ones. I don’t know why.

Can you put a cork in her or something? She’s making my eyes water.

I can’t put a cork in her. We will just have to deal with the funk. Maybe she’ll stop once she is off all of her medication.

She better not fart on me and blow my holes in my fur.

I doubt she can do that but….

I don’t want any bald spots. I can’t be bald.

You’ll be just fine. Quit worrying so much.

I think the fart stink has hurt you brain, Mama.

Eclair, go find something productive to do.

How about a nap?

A nap sounds like a good idea.

Love you, Mama!

Love you too, Eclair

💜🐾💜
Eclair, farty Pretzel and sleepy Biscuit

Note from Mama:
Pretzel’s farts are vicious. I am really hoping that after the last dose of meds, the farts will subside!

The girls are all happy playing and napping together. These little puppies wear Biscuit out!

02/06/2023

MAMA! MAMA!

What Eclair? Are you ok?

Yeah but Pretzel is broken.

Um, what do you mean? How is she broken?

She rolled over and now she can’t get up. Look at her.

Eclair, she is sleeping. She doesn’t want to turn over. She is comfortable that way.

So she’s weird?

You’re weird too.

I am not.

Oh really? Someone in our house used to think they were a tadpole. Do you know who that someone was?

Nope. I sure don’t. It must have been Biscuit.

Listen Goofy Magoo, go take a nap. Pretzel will find you when she wakes up and you can play all afternoon.

Ok Mama!

💜🐾💜

________________
Note from Mama:

We’ve been gone for awhile. We think Pretzel is finally healed and headed towards being a healthy puppy. Her surgery went well and her liver shunt should be closed. She’s such a happy little girl. Nothing is going to stop her

21/04/2023

Mama! Mama! *squeak*

What Eclair?

What’s that thing? That furry thing. It doesn’t look like one of my toys but it makes the same noise.

That furry thing is your new sister. Her name is Pretzel.

Is she going to stay here with us?

Yep. She’s going to stay here. We’re going to give her all of the love and fun possible.

Will you still have enough for me? And for Biscuit?

Of course! Daddy and I have more than enough for all of you girls.

I don’t know if I like her yet.

It’s ok. You two will get to know each other and learn to be the best sisters ever!

Ok. I’ll try.

I know you will. Love you Eclair.

Love you too Mama.

💜🐾💜

Note from Mama:

We adopted Pretzel on Monday. She’s a silly little girl with lots of personality. She is having a bit of a medical problem but with the love we and All Paws Rescue have for her, she will be just fine!

04/04/2023

Mama! Mama!

What Eclair?

What are those?

What are what?

Those flying things. They have long legs and little wings. Biscuit said they won’t hurt us but I don’t believe her.

She’s right. They won’t hurt you. They are crane flies.

Why are there so many?

Well, they like to be in grass and weeds when they are babies. We have grass and the neighbors have weeds so they like it around here.

You’re sure they won’t hurt me?

I’m sure.

*Biscuit zooms in*
Watch out!! They’re coming for us! They’re going to eat us alive!! Everybody run!!
*Biscuit falls over laughing*

Biscuit! You are not helpful at all.

But I am hilarious!

Sure. Whatever you need to tell yourself. Now go find Eclair and tell her you’re sorry.

Sorry that she’s a scaredy dog?

No. You’re sorry you’re a big p**p!

*whispers* wait ‘til Mama sees my big poo…

Biscuit! I can hear you.

Oops. I was just saying that…

I know what you were saying. Go find your sister.

Fine.

💜🐾💜

Note from Mama:

Once again, we’ve been gone too long. The girls have been playing nonstop and loving every minute of it. Eclair truly ran when a crane fly landed near her on the porch! I guess it came in at just the right angle to catch her off guard? She’s one of a kind!

02/03/2023

Mama’s friend is celebrating Ms. Helen’s birthday with a card drive. Please consider sending Ms. Helen a card!

09/02/2023

Will someone help Mama? She saw a video here on Facebook of an orange kitty singing about wanting to buy a mini horse or a ”purty Scottish fold.” She can’t remember where she saw the video but desperately wants to see it again! Do any of our friends know what she is talking about?

02/02/2023

Note from Mama:

We are all ok. The girls are happy as ever. They wrestle, tumble and play all day and then crash hard about 6p. Of course, there is the one last wrestling match just before bed time.

They will be back and sharing stories soon. In the meantime, here are a couple of recent photos!

06/12/2022

Mama! Mama!

What is it Biscuit?

Did you hear that?

Hear what?

That weird noise.

What did it sound like?

It sound like “rattle, scraggle, crunch”.

Oh, um, yeah, Biscuit, I’m the one who made that noise. I’m eating chips straight out of the bag.

You sound loud and like you’re eating my kibbles. And your breath kinda smells like it too!

Biscuit!

I know, I know… be nice. But I have to tell the truth. You said so!

Biscuit, go play with Eclair and let me eat.

Fine! I think she hid all the toys though.

Go look in the basket. I picked them all up this morning.

You cleaned? I can’t believe it!

What has gotten into you today, Biscuit? What’s with all the snarkiness?

Well, I miss Pita. He came down on his Gotcha Day and told me that he misses us.

Oh, now i understand. We all miss Pita too. His star has been shining bright and blinking the past few days. Remember, his love is still in our hearts.

I know but still hurts

It does. We both need extra snuggles.

Yes we do Mama.

Love you Biscuit

Love you too Mama.

💜🐾💜

________________

So I’ve neglected our page. Too much has happened around here. I’m still getting used to my new job and doing home improvements. I had eye surgery. Not being able to see made posting hard! And I miss Pita terribly.

Here are the girls in their Halloween outfits. Eclair had two because I couldn’t decide which was cuter! I mean, how could I decide between a hot dog and Superman?!

10/10/2022

Mama! Mama!

What Biscuit?

Did you see Eclair? She’s up to no good.

What is she doing?

Just look at her. She’s grinning about something. I think she ate your eggs.

My eggs did disappear. But Eclair was outside with Daddy. So I’m thinking that maybe someone else ate them.

Oh yeah, well, uh… you must have forgotten that you ate them.

That’s not what happened. I know I didn’t eat them. But YOU know who did.

I don’t know who did but I’m going to find them *zooms out of the room*

💜🐾💜

Note from Mama:

Sorry it’s been so long. Life caught up with me. The girls miss me telling about their adventures. I’ll do better.

We are teaching Eclair to smile. I promise she’s not growling and snarling. Biscuit cannot be bothered with Eclair’s lessons!!

Edited to add: my Great Aunt Wilma had an Australian shepherd, Talanka, who she taught to smile. When I was a little kid, it scared the bajeebies out of me! My Aunt Wilma was like a grandmother to me. I’m hoping she is looking down fondly as I teach Eclair to smile 💜

28/08/2022

Mama! Mama! *squeak*

What Eclair?

I can’t believe you did it. I just can’t…

What did I do or not do?

Well, National Dog Day was on Friday. You didn’t talk to our friends.

You’re right Eclair. I didn’t do it. I got busy and all of a sudden, it’s today.

Can you tell them today? Even though it’s late. *squeak*

I will tell them.

Thank you Mama! Oh and Biscuit said that because you forgot, we get extra treats. She said that we should get extra cucumbers and eggs. She said….

I know, I know. Biscuit says you get extra treats because I forgot.

Thank you Mama! *whispers* Biscuit?

Did you do it? Did you do it?

Yeah, I think she totally fell for it! *squeak*

Awesome, more treats!

Um, girls? You know I can hear you? You two aren’t very good whisperers!

💜🐾💜

Note from Mama:

Sorry we’re late. Or are we just early for next year?

27/07/2022

Mama! Mama! MAMA! Come quick!

*runs top speed into the other room* What is it Biscuit? What’s wrong? Are you hurt?

No. Look at Eclair. She’s on the ground and can’t turn over! She looks lIke a bug. Help her!

She’s just fine, Biscuit. She’s playing. She’s not hurt at all. And what bugs have you been watching?

Those mean things that attack me when I go to potty before bed. Those things that feel like crawly rocks when they hit me in the head. Then they fall on their back and their legs go waggle-waggle.

Oh! You mean June bugs! You’re right. They are mean little things. I do not like those at all. But trust me. Eclair can turn herself over.

I’m going to watch her just in case she needs me to flip her over.

That’s nice of you Biscuit!

*whispers* mama doesn’t know that I’m only doing it to get a treat when I flip Eclair on to her legs!

Biscuit! I heard you. You’re scheme won’t work. She can flip over just fine by herself.

You got me Mama. You are so smart and beautiful and kind and you have great hair and you give the best snuggles and…..

That scheme isn’t going to work either.

At least I tried.

💜🐾💜
Biscuit (Eclair is off doing her bug impression)

Note from Mama:

A few people have asked what the purple thing on Eclair’s collar is. It’s an Apple AirTag. Both girls wear one. If one of them should get lost, we can ping the device and GPS will tell us where she is. They are also both chipped and wear an ID tag. Nobody is getting lost on my watch!

22/07/2022

Note from Mama:

I run our page to share about the girls and to have fun. Please don’t use our page for your own advertising. Thank you!

And a picture of Eclair!

Please help Leia get home to the family that loves and misses her.

🤔THINGS THAT MAKE US GO HMMMM…⁣
⁣
Here are a few things that make us go hmmm regarding the sitter and the sister and the story they told us about how Leia went ‘missing’… ⁣
⁣
⁣
1.⁣
SUNDAY JUNE 26th: The dog-sitter only informed us that Leia ‘got out’ 20-minutes after I texted her to let her know that we were picking up our dogs a few hours early. 20-minutes after that, we were informed that her sister’s dog also got out.⁣
⁣
Neither the sitter nor her sister had posted online about their dog going missing—the sitter simply shared my post about Leia.⁣
⁣
⁣
2.⁣
More than 24-hours after Leia was said to have gone ‘missing,’ I asked the sitter for photos of their dog so I could post online and she sent them. ⁣
⁣
That evening, she finally posted pics of the sister’s dog. And the next morning, her sisters dog was dropped off at her townhouse by a mysterious ‘Hispanic man in a truck who didn’t speak english’ whom no one else saw—and unbenownest to them, we were on the property searching at that time and did not see this man’s truck. ⁣
⁣
Neither the sister nor the sitter had taken down this man’s info for us.⁣
⁣
⁣
3.⁣
Leia was said to have gotten out around 3-3:30pm on Sunday June 26th in a populated area filled with dog lovers and golfers and people walking outdoors. The sister said that she ran in the direction of the golf course (apparently she ran after them) and yet NO ONE saw these two dogs running loose.⁣
⁣
To this day, there have been NO sightings of Leia. ⁣
⁣
⁣
4.⁣
The sitter and her sister left town on Thursday June 30th for a 4th of July trip that they previously booked without informing us that they were leaving. They remained out of town until July 5th. ⁣
⁣
⁣
5.⁣
The sitter and her sister cut communication with us on Friday July 1st. ⁣
⁣
⁣
6.⁣
With the help of two separate K-9 trackers, Leia’s scent was only found within the townhouse complex property. ⁣
⁣
What this means is that she NEVER left the property on her own. She was either taken by car (to be sold or was sold) or suffered an attack/injury in the townhouse and her body disposed of. ⁣
⁣
⁣
7.⁣
Since we started sharing our story, we’ve been in contact with a few of the sitter’s former clients who have shared their own horror stories—including one client who’s little dog was attacked by the sitter’s dog while in the sitter’s care. This poor little dog sustained 3 bite marks to it’s head and an infection to it’s eye. ⁣
⁣
⁣
As you can see, we have a lot of reason to NOT believe the story we were given. ⁣
⁣
All we want is to and/or uncover the truth about what really happened to her. ⁣
⁣
Dozens of dogs like Leia go missing while under the care of dog sitters, dog trainers, and dog boarding facilities each year. This is not ok, and we’re here to help change that.⁣
⁣
⁣
For a full breakdown on Leia’s timeline since she went ‘missing,’ head to: www.findleia.com ⁣
⁣
And if you feel called to support our search efforts, please consider donating to Leia’s GoFundMe today:⁣

⁣
⁣
Thank you for helping us in our search for Leia. 🙏🏽🤍⁣

These girls are so adorable! 💜

Charlotte Grace here. Yesterday was National Day of Joy. EnJOY what you love everyday. Peace. Love. Rescue.

Mama *squeak*

What Eclair?

Biscuit said that you tell people about us. What do you tell them?

I tell them about some of the adventures you two have.

Have you told them about me?

I have. I haven’t told how you came to live with us.

Do you not like me here? Why you haven’t told them? *squeak*

We love you here! I’ll tell them the story right now!

💜🐾💜
Eclair (Biscuit is napping)

______________
Note from Mama:

Yes, Eclair squeaks when she yawns and when she wants attention. It sounds just like a squeaky toy!

And now, on to her story:

As most of you know, Pita went to the Rainbow Bridge on Dec 15 last year. Even though we have Biscuit, the house felt so lonely. I don’t know if it was the lack of high-pitched barking or the occasional growling that caused it. Let’s be honest, it was everything. It has been so long since we were a one-pet house. A friend on FB followed a local rescue, All Paws Rescue, so every once in a while I would see pictures of kitties or even Guinea pigs. On a random day, I saw a post that showed a tiny puppy named Elena and her sisters. I showed my husband and said “Puppies!” He just looked the other direction. Then a couple of days later, he asked to see the picture again. He asked “where is she?” I told him she was at a foster’s home. He asked me how he could get her. Before I had time to blink, he called the rescue and was talking the ear off Elena’s foster mom. They must have talked for an hour. She told him to fill out the application and she would get back to us because she had 6 or 7 other applications. To our surprise, she called and told us that Elena could come live with us! My husband gathered her up at PetSmart the next day. She was so stinkin’ small! All of our pets are named after breads/desserts so her name was changed to Eclair and she has been a joyful handful for the last couple of months!

TL;DR - Eclair came from an awesome local rescue because my husband saw her pic on FB!

31/05/2022

Note from Mama:

I thought I could do it today. I came over to share some pictures of the girls and share their latest conversations. I was also going to change the name of our page to acknowledge that Pita and Strudel are now angels at the Rainbow Bridge. I just can’t bring myself to do it.

A picture of Pita popped up in my Facebook memories and sent me into tears. I still have all of his diapers on the drying rack in the laundry room. All of Pita and Strudel’s clothes are still in their basket.

Eclair reminds me so much of Pita. She was doing a dance a couple of days that immediately reminded me of Pita. Biscuit was gnawing on a chewy and I was reminded of Strudel.

I saw a tuxedo cat the other day and memories of Poppy came flooding back.

I’ll be able to change our name someday but can’t do it now.

Look at this guy’s handsome face and snazzy tie!

11/05/2022

Mama!

What Biscuit? *squeak*

That Mama! What is that noise? *squeak*

That’s your sister!

You mean that’s Elvira?

Her name is Eclair. And yes that’s her. She squeaks when she yawns.

I don’t squeak when I yawn.

No but you belch after you eat.

Well, yeah. But I don’t squeak like Email.

Her name is Eclair.

Whatever her name is, she squeaks.

And you belch. I should call you Squeaky and Belchy.

You’re gonna call me Farty now! *dashes away while a smell lingers*

What am I going to do with these two??

💜🐾💜

Mama! What is that? Why is it furry and squeaky?

It’s your new sister, Éclair.

Um, ok. Will I like her?

Of course you’ll like her.

Does she know how to play and zoom?

You’ll have to show her. She’s still little and learning.

Oh. Does that mean I have to share my toys?

Yes. You’ll have to share your toys. But you’ll still have some of your own.

Ok. Is she going to p**p on the rug? There’s no p**ping on the rug. That’s the rules.

She’ll learn the rules.

She better.

You be nice. Remember how Pita and Strudel welcomed you when you first came here? You’ll have to do the same for Éclair.

I’ll try my best Mama.

I know you will.

Love you Mama.

Love you too Biscuit.
_________________
Note from Mama:

Introducing Éclair! After helping Pita make his journey in December and unhappiness in April, it felt like time to bring a new addition to our house. I follow All Paws Rescue and she popped up. And now she lives here!

08/04/2022

Mama!

What Biscuit?

Guess what? Guess what?!

You seem super excited about whatever it is.

Because it is exciting. My news is that I saw Pita! I really did. I saw him!

Where did you see him? When did you see him?

Well, when you were in the hospital last week, I was on the couch and wishing you were home. Then I felt a nose touch my ear. I turned around and it was Pita. He told me to not be sad. He said he checked on you and that you were ok. I asked him if he was home to stay but he said he was just visiting. He turned around and showed me some purple feathery wings and flapped them at me. I don’t think Daddy saw him. He gave my ear a sniffle and told me he would come by again soon. I told him to tell Strudel to come down and play with me. He said he would. He flapped his wings and disappeared. But he was here Mama. He was here.

It sounds like he was. I glad he came to see you. I think he came to see me when I was super sleepy when I was in the hospital.

He did Mama. He did!

He loved you very much Biscuit. Keep watching. He’ll be back. Maybe he will even bring Strudel with him.

I can’t wait, Mama!

Keep an eye out. You never know when he’ll come by.

Uh, Mama. I can’t keep an eye out. They are attached to my face.

Biscuit. It’s just means…. nevermind. Just keep looking around.

But then I’ll get dizzy.

Go outside and play, Biscuit.

Okie dokie!

💜🐾💜
Biscuit

__________
Note from Mama: I had surgery last week. Everything is fine. I had to have parts removed that were making my life miserable.

This is what a sad Biscuit looks like. Don’t worry. Her daddy was at home and had everything under control 😊

23/02/2022

Note from Mama:

Every time I start to post, I start crying. I can’t believe both of my boys are gone. Pita came home but they didn’t do a paw print. Even though that seems like something so small, it really upset me. I still reach over to ruffle Pita’s fur while i watch TV. The healing is slow but I’ll get there. Biscuit is getting used to being an only dog. I promised her that I would get her a Gravy after Daddy graduates in May. 

It’s not all gloom and doom around here, though. The other day I looked over and saw someone happy dreamin’! She did this for over a minute. Watch to the end!

Our sincerest condolences and deepest sympathies 💜🐾🌈

Jasper’s mommy is one of our very first Facebook friends. Please keep a positive thought for her and her family.

Our friend Jasper Rudy made his way to the Rainbow Bridge today. He was such a sweet friend. We will miss him. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers Lalita Elaine Rudy Meeko and Tumble 2.

23/12/2021

Note from Mama:

Thank you everyone for your kind words. It’s been a rough week around here. The three of us are still working through it. Biscuit is grieving worse than I thought she would.

Biscuit wants to keep our page going. It might change a little but we will still be here 💜

16/12/2021

Pita went to the Rainbow Bridge a little while ago. My grumpy old man is gone. 💜🐾🌈
