First Bath

After their first week in the Pond, Bitty and Bear (aka the Babies) have become quite comfortable. They spend their days eating, napping and playing.



Of course, their favorite spot to snuggle to sleep is on Ben. The Babies are quite intent of staking their claim.




We know we are cute.
On Sunday, Bitty and Bear had just finished lunch and were settling into their bed for a nice afternoon nap.


Just let us sleep. Please. We are very tired.


All of the sudden, Ben swiped Bear out of the comfortable bed. Before Bear knew what was going on, he had been dunked in the sink and was being held down under a stream of warm water. Shampoo was drizzled onto his back and he was rubbed, scrubbed and rinsed. Then he was unceremoniously dumped into a towel and rubbed dry by the Blonde Duck. Even a treat couldn't soothe his fragile ego. Bitty was not amused when it became her turn.





Bitty's going to pee on the carpet out of spite.


Even a snuggle session in the Blonde Duck's lap did nothing to restore their good humor. It was going to take more than a couple treats for Bitty and Bear to cheer up again.




Bitty is not amused.

After an hour of playing with Ben and the Blonde Duck and getting two new puppy teething chew sticks, the Babies decided to forgive Ben and the Blonde Duck for giving them a bath.



Bitty is only slightly amused. She is still planning on peeing on the carpet.


They became delighted with the Blonde Duck's mother and sister came over bearing more gifts and offering hugs and kisses. Bitty and Bear decided Ben and the Blonde Duck needed training on how to properly treat puppies. In the Babies' minds, all puppies should be showered with love, gifts and affection everyday.


Bear is quite amused.

After all, that's how the Blonde Duck's mom treated them.


Bear and Bitty thank Lana and Corney and Paula and Frank for all the wonderful gifts!

They are so sweet and so much fun when they are playing. I really enjoyed meeting them.

Can't wait to meet the lil' critters. We will be bringing more sussies for the babies. (If we all act this "goofy" over puppies, can you imagine what we'll do when it's real grandchildren!???)
