Dress Up Day

On Saturday Kim and Kris invited four of their school friends over for a tea party. Michelle, Noel, Becca, and Keilah soon came over, and when they saw the puppies, they wanted to play with them, too. Kim remembered that they had a dress-up box up in the attic and brought it down, and the six girls decided to dress up MacGregor and MacDuff. Duffy loved all the attention and just enjoyed displaying all his jewelery, red scarf, and wool pull-over hat. Once he was dressed he paraded all over the porch much to the amusement of the girls. Now MacGregor did not like to have clothes on his body, and whenever the girls would put something on him like a scarf, he would roll over and over until he shook it off. They tried jewelery and got the same reaction until it was also thrown off. Finally, they decided that MacGregor just did not enjoy dressing up and left him alone, but Duffy continued to play their fun game.

Finally it was tea time for the girls, and they had real lemon tea with milk and sugar and Girl Scout cookies on a big plate. Duffy wanted to sneak one of the cookies, but the girls thought that the doggy bones were the best treat and gave both dogs two bones each. As usual Duffy gobbled up his treats, and MacGregor slowly savored his. The puppies got lots of attention that day.

Then the girls decided to use part of the doggy treats to teach the puppies some tricks. Before they left, both of the puppies had learned to sit and roll over. Quite an accomplishment in one day!
