What Is That Big Noisy Thing?

Hi everyone! Now you may have seen on the side about "Bess and the Corner". Bess, when scared, goes and crawls under this desk in the corner of the family room/kitchen. She sometimes will also go up against the side of the couch that is in a shape of a big "U" so it's like a small den. And rarely she will go inside her crate, but that can be a little too close to the kitchen with big noisy stuff. What is she scared of you ask? Lets see...the blender, the mixer, the vacuum, really any loud, noisy and odd shaped object, that seems to be "alive". Now the vacuum is the most challenging for her, since it moves around the house. She has to decide whether to risk from going out from her desk, to say, her crate, (or her other hiding places), or stay safe where she is. She has a frantic look on her face, unsure what to do. But once the vacuum gets close enough, a little too close for comfort, she tip-toes away to a new spot (making sure the mechanical beast does not hear her-:)-). Even Bonnie is a little afraid of the vacuum! But she will go and check it out, until it gets to close and then she slowly backs away.

So, to show you our little frightened Bess, here are some pictures:

These are from a couple months ago when my mom was making soup, and used a tool to mix the soup(it's really loud) I'm not sure what it's called though...

This was just a couple days ago:

She fell asleep while she was hiding under the desk! Aw poor Bessie!

And here is one where she took comfort with some sneakers as she hide from the horrible, so-called "hand mixer" Oooooo scary...

So that's all for today! Hopefully I can video the next time we bring out anything scary (in her opinion), maybe even the vacuum! Bess is already quivering at the thought of it, so I'll drop the subject for now. I added on the side of this post an item called "My Blog List" that shows 2 blogs, made by my friends(2 different friends) who decided to make blogs about their dogs after seeing Growing Up Bess. Please check them out the makers of the blogs would really appreciate some views and followers! Also I added "Follow by email" so you don't need a special account to follow my blog, you can just get email updates (instead of from me!) If you haven't voted on the poll yet, please do! I made it before this post but it's related to the topic so please vote and comment!

Have a great day!

P.S. As said before, the website that I make this blog on, had a major update so the formatting is different, and they have some problems so it takes a while to make posts for me so I appreciate your patience!

Techy Stuff

Hi everyone! Sorry no pictures today. I wanted to show everyone how to comment, and follow this blog, since I've had people asking me how. And I wanted to tell everyone about a new blog called The Paw Print. My friend saw my blog and she decided to make one about her dog named Bailey. She's super cute and even looks a little bit like Bonnie! She would really like some more views and followers! Heres the link: pawprintbailey.blogspot.com

Now this is how to comment on a blog:

1. On a post, at the bottom, there will be a link that says "_ comments" For example it would be "0 comments" or
"1 comments". So click on that link, its pretty small so you have to look for it.

2. Then it will show the post, and the comments for the post, and then there is a white box
titled "Post a Comment".

3. Then type in your comment in the white box.

4. Then you choose who you want to "Comment As". You click the little arrows. If you have a Google or Gmail account, that will be an option and I suggest that. If you don't, click the very last one "Anonymous", and in your comment you can mention who you are if you want.

5. Next, click Post Comment. BUT WAIT! YOUR NOT DONE! The page will reload and a handicap box will pop up. A handicap box has letters but slightly hard to read. You have to type in the letters (no spaces). They do this to make sure that its a person reading the blog and not a virus or bug. Or something like that.

6. Sometimes the handicap box will not pop up, and it will just reload the page and your comment is in the white box, but hasn't been posted. So you have to click "Post Comment" again. Usually you have to do this 2 or 3 times until the handicap box comes up. You type in the random letters (no spaces) and click Post Comment again.

Now you have posted a comment! I know it seems like it takes a while, but it doesn't it's actually very easy.

To follow this blog, there is a button up in the top left area of the blog titled "Follow". Then just follow the directions from there! You have to have a google account, I think it can also work with Yahoo accounts as well. Or you can follow the blog by going down by "followers" and in small print is "Sign In" and then follow the directions.

I'm going to post a comment on this so for you people reading this, it will say "1 comments" at the bottom. I hope everyone posts a comment after they read this! Please! Sorry it's so long, so for your patience, I reward you with one cute Bess picture! Enjoy and try commenting!



P.S. The website has updated so the posts are in a different style. I can make them the old way, but its more complicated so sometimes the posts may look different if I don't have enough time. Just a heads up!

Peekaboo!

Hi everyone! Happy Labor Day Weekend! I know that I said before I would be posting "A Day in the Life of Bess", but I'm having some technical difficulties with that post (I think the website had a glitch when I was trying to post it), so I'm posting this!

Now I decided to show everyone what its like to eat something on the couch (like some cheerios) with Bess around. This is from my point of view:

First she peeks up at you,


Then she jumps up,


Then she gets a little closer,


And a little closer,


And then she tries to use her back legs to climb up, but she has such short legs that unless she has something to boost her (like stepping onto Bonnie's back) or having us help her up, she fails to climb up all the way.

Now I'm sure I've mentioned before that she barks a lot, but also makes these "arrooooooo" sounds, like a mix between a howl and a bark. They are hilarious. So I was able to catch a little bit of one on video, but its quiet small and short, so its more like a sneak preview of her funny sounds. I'll try to get a full howl/bark on video in the future, but for now enjoy this sneak peek!



Isn't she cute? That's all for this post, I'll try to fix the other post so you can see that as well, along with a full on "ARRROOOO" from Bess! Have a great weekend! Please comment and vote on the new poll!
