Tigger Talks

[Maryann,Roo and Tigger]

Okay all you doodle friends, I am getting a lot of bad press out there and I just want to tell my side of the story.

Mom and Dad were gone. Sisters were here. It was raining all the time. Roo and I had not been in the pool in a least a century - month - a day - I'm not that good on time. I had introduced the Sisters to the fun game of chase. It goes like this - I find something fun to carry in my mouth - a sock, a pillow, the toilet paper - that one is really fun. I run by a Sister ....slowly though... so she is sure to see me. She chases me. If she doesn't chase I turn around and go by more slowly. It's a great game and really passes the time.

Roo was just sleeping and sleeping. I was bored...... so I was looking for something to start chase with. I found a wonderful pink plastic thingy that smelled and tasted like soap - I love soap - don't you? Now here's the thing. As soon as I picked up the wonderful pink plastic soapsmelling thingy ( I know now its a r-a-z-o-r, Mom has told the story so many times) in my mouth, I could tell it was going to make great chewing. It was crunchy and smelled wonderful and tasted better.

I did not run by Sisters with it. I did not. I did not. I did not.

I very quietly layed down in the bathroom and started chewing and eating it. Right as I was finishing it Sister came in and started yelling. Blood, Tigger, blood - NO! NO! NO! yes! all caps she was really really loud. That is when all the trouble started. Two more minutes and she would never have known I had eaten it. I could have just stolen a loaf of bread off of the counter to wash it down and all would have been well.

Instead vet, vet, and more vet. Lots of bread and then I woke up in a cage with this plastic cone thing over my head. I was very sleepy. Then I had to listen to Sisters and Mom tell the story over and over and over. Even Roo was mad at me - although that may have been the cone thingy,- I'm not sure. So now you know the Truth.

I was just having a little snack and now the whole world thinks I am a bad dog. I am not, I am not, I am not. I am a good dog.

Tip to all my doodle friends, if you snack on crunchy things, don't get caught and eat a lot of bread afterward. Eating the bread was fun and felt good. The End

Your good doodle dog friend,

Tigger

Hahaha...
Goodie Two Shoes...
I like that one!
I'm kind of a Goodie Two Shoes...sometimes...and Mom Really likes that...
Then somtimes...I'm like the Girl With The Curl...
Do you know her??
When she is good...she is Very...Very...Good...But...When she is Naughty...well...you get the picture?? Lol...
I guess that's why we Doods have curls...don't you think?? (smile)
Well...thanks for letting me know about the wrappers...
I go behind the kitchen table whenever I want to "hide" what I'm doing from Mom and Dad...
Pretty Sneaky Huh??
I think they kind of figured it out though...because everytime I go back there...my Mom is Right By My Side...saying Sasha...What Do You Have In Your Mouth?? Drop It!!
I mean...even if I'm just laying on the rug...enjoying the nice warm sunshine...
Sheeze...can't a girl even lay down and enjoy some nice sun on her face anymore??
Thing is...at least you have someone else to blame...
Here...it's only me...so...you can only give them those Great Big Innocent Eyes for so long...
Know what I mean??
Well...now that I'm growing up...I really don't do much of that stuff anymore...
It's kind of fun being Good!!
I get a whole lot more hugs and kisses that way!!
Have to run for now...catch you later Tig...
It's time for a nap...

Well I have eaten the wrapper, Mom doesn't though. She is weird sometimes. If there is a lot of bread you can just eat that and leave the wrapper for later to play with when you are full. It makes great noises and the smell reminds you of the bread. Of course - remember to hide the wrapper or Mom will throw it away. In a two dog house I don't get the blame because it could have been goody two shoes - I mean Roo, and Mom is always fair, even if she doesn't know anything about bread wrappers.

[Susan and Sasha]

Ooooohhhhh thanks a whole bunch!!
I'll ask my Mom to get me some tomorrow!!
I can almost smell it now!! (smile)
Yummmmmmyyyy!!!!
Are you sure you can eat the wrapper?? Lol...
Your Friend Sasha...

[Maryann,Roo and Tigger]

Thanks doodle friends! I feel soooo much better. Sasha, you have to tear the wrapper off of the bread before it smells. Getting that plastic off is tricky because it sticks to your lips and teeth. The bread that comes in the nice crunchy paper wrapper is best - you can smell it, eat the wrapper and the bread.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

OMG! Tigger, I won't say you're a bad dog, but you are a very very lucky dog!!! Your poor mom must have been scared to death!
No more eating things that you find in the bathroom...promise?

[Susan and Sasha]

Oh Tigger...
We All Know that You Are NOT a Bad Dog...You Are NOT!!!!
Sometimes we do things...when we don't know what they might do to us...
I don't think anyone thinks you are bad...
As a matter of fact...I Know It...No One Thinks You Are A Bad Dood At All!!
I do have a little bit of advice for you my friend...
There are some things that taste better for snacks...than that crunchy thing you tried...
Just ask your Mom...
I know that she will give you some Really Yummy things....and they will be Ohhhhh Sooooo Good...and tastey too!
You know something else Tig...we are All growing up...and learning So Many things...and it's good to share those things with one another...don't you think??
So...just relax...and know that you have Sooooo Many friends that love you...and they Don't think you are a bad Dood...At All!!

Oh...I do have a question for you Tig...what kind of bread was it??
t seems like a lot of Doods like bread around here...(smile)
I'm not sure about bread...
But...I'm willing to try it...
I mean...I really like just about anything...you know what I mean??
But bread...well...it doesn't even have a Smell!!
Let me know...so I can ask my Mom to get it for me...
Thanks...
Your Friend Sasha...

Hey Tigger, Sedona here... Glad you're fine after your adventure. I personally have never had the "pleasure" of eating a pink crunchy thing, but my cousin Jack (a Yorkie) ate four of them - just the crunchy part, not the really sharp part. His mommy took him to the vet. They didn't cut him open, but they did give his mommy some cream to rub on his "poop place" to make it numb so that it wouldn't hurt so much when he pooped out the pieces. Even then, it wasn't pleasant. Knowing your story and his, I think I'll stay away from pink crunchy things even if they are yummy!!!!

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

Tigger, dood, I am so happy you feel better! I have never tried something so crunchy before - maybe I should stick with paper and food yummy...your friend, Peri

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Hey Tigger,
Murph and I are so happy that you're feeling better now. We hope you got rid of that "cone thing" on your head...those are BAD! I'm way to short to get "good chewing stuff" from the counters, but Murph can reach anything now. The only problem is he doesn't share with me. So, stay away from the pink plastic...stick with stealing FOOD....that's much better! Your Bud, Guinness.

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Tigger Dood - thanks to your mom telling this story - my mom has moved her pink crunchy thing to a place way high up in the shower that I will never be able to reach. So I'll never know how good it was to eat, and I like soap too. I like to lick the water in the shower. Anyway, my mom says thank you to your mom.
