Sunday I went to Freestyle with Mommy and learned to “touch.”
See that orange cone thingy behind me? Miss Julia stuck a treat inside it and then gave me a different treat every time I touched the cone with my nose. I really, really liked that game. I always keep an eye on everything going on there.
Other than Freestyle class, not too much has been happening this week, so me and Lucy, we thought you might like to see some short little videos of us. (He, he, I bet you thought you were going to get to see us in shorts – like clothes – right?)
While I was gone having fun with Mommy, Lucy was in the back yard eating all the meat off of a raw deer rib…and some of the bone, too.
Most days, Mommy says, “Who wants to get their teeth brushed?” and we both come running. I always go first. Our “toothpaste” is coconut oil with Neem essential oil in it. Sometimes we get Lavender essential oil in it too for flavor, but we like it either way.
Then it’s Lucy’s turn. Mommy got a red finger brush for Lucy, but Lucy kept trying to bite down on it. So, to keep her finger safe, Mommy went back to using a regular toothbrush. Did you notice me walking under Lucy? I do that all the time!
I’m still woofing at Daddy to fix the video of me and Lucy howling, and he keeps saying he is too busy right now. Grrrr. Hey, wait, maybe that’s what he’ll do for me for my birthday next week! Yeah, I bet that’s it! And lots of belly rubs and chair naps, too.

Charlee: “That sounds like a fun game with the cone, Xena!”
Chaplin: “Yeah, but if you see somebody on the street with three cones and they say they’re going to put the treat under one of them and move them around and then you have to guess which cone it’s under, don’t do it. That’s a scam.”
Lulu: “How do you know that?”
Chaplin: “Dennis explained it to me once.”
Lulu: “Hmm okay. And what about the teeth cleaning, is that a scam?”
Chaplin: “No, that’s legit.”

My tongues pops in and out when Mom does my teeth – just like yours, L.! Mom uses chicken flavored toothpaste for me. But maybe sometimes she will try the coconut oil. That stuff is yummy.
Love and licks,

I am heartened that we are not the only ones who get tortured when we get our teeth done Wd do have to just lean back and enjoy the baths. It’s attention even if it is wet attention. .
