As many of you know, Muffy Lin is at “Puppy Boot Camp”…at least that is what Michelle the Handler is calling it. It means that our sweet little Diva Dog is staying two weeks with Michelle and is working on her ring manners…like standing STILL! Imagine our surprise when the phone rang and it was none other than Muffy!

Mom: Muffy, how did you dial the phone? Does Michelle know you are calling?
Muffy: She left her special purple phone on the table, Mom. I think she wanted me to use it. It’s really cool. There are no buttons to push. You just touch the screen. I used my nose!
Mom: Muffy…is that her NEW phone? You better not ruin it.
Brody: Is that Muffy? I wanna speak with Muffy. Muffy is that you? Are you in the phone? How did you get in the phone?
Muffy: Hi, Brody. It’s me. I had to stay with Michelle after my last show. She loves me sooo much she wanted to spend extra time with me. I’m special.
Brody: That’s not what Mom told me. She said you were so bad in the ring that you needed extra work. I don’t have to do it because I am a good boy! I stand really still for the judd and I don’t try to eat food that other handlers have left behind.
Muffy: But I did really well at the last show I was at. I was the Winners Female both days.
Brody: But you were really bad at the BIG show. It was ‘barrassing, Muffy. I didn’t want anyone to know we were Twins. Mom didn’t even claim you.
Muffy: That’s not true. Moms always love their kids. Whatever. You are embarrassing. And no one would ever guess we are Twins. You are BIG and UGLY with a Frankenstein scar!
Brody: I’m not ugly. I have a gorgeous head. And I don’t have Frank Stein’s car! I don’t even know Frank Stein. Mom takes me everywhere with her now that you are gone. We went to the Post Office to mail a card to Tall Jean in Ostraylia. Then we went to Mick Donald’s and I got an egg. Oh, then we went to the place that sells dog food, and I got some new chew toyz. Mom gave me rawhide chews because I don’t swallow them like you. And then Mom and Dad went out for lunch and I got to …
Muffy: We’ll see who Mom loves best when I get my champion title first!
Mom: TWINS! Muffy Lin…I have you on speakerphone!
Muffy: Oh, no! Here comes Michelle…gotta run!!!
It is quiet without Muffy here. And Brody is right…I have been doing a lot with him so that he does not feel as lonely. However, he returns to the show ring this weekend for the first time since his surgery, and will be reunited with his sister Friday. I am sure stubby little tails will wag and Boxer butts will wiggle. Until next time…
