National Stuffie Appreciation Day

Mr. T-Bone Beasley has proclaimed today, May 8th, to be National Stuffie Appreciation Day! We have no problem with this seeing as we own LOTS of stuffies! Maybe I should change that to read - I (meaning me and not Mitch) have a lot of stuffies! Mitch gets them yanked away from him the minute he starts to rip and destroy! Mom says that he can be quite the destructive little Aire-boy!


This is one of Mitch's Christmas gifts! Want to know where it is now? Upstairs hidden from him! And it's still in one piece!

See this ducky? This got taken away from Mitch early on too. You can tell he's much younger in this picture!

And because mom had the smarts to take it away and put it upstairs for safe keeping until he's older (she always says this), Mr. Ducky is still alive and well! I think Mitch remembers him! It didn't take him long before he started his shark attack! BTW, check out his toenails! SOMEONE has been digging!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Here I am with one of my favorite stuffies that Stanley gave me for my birthday! She stays upstairs in my bed safe from the jaws of death!

I don't ruin stuffies anymore! I'm much smarter and much more careful now that I'm older and more mature and wiser but I wasn't always this way!

This is one of my very favorite stuffies of all time - my purple gorilla, Baby! Baby still talked to me in this picture! I hadn't yet chewed through her voice box!


Baby is one of the stuffies that sleeps with me every night. Baby now has a HUGE bandaid covering the hole in her tummy and she gave up on having conversations with me FOREVER! OOPS!

Here's one last picture of Mitch and his moose! Mom and dad both call him MooseBoy all the time! They do resemble each other, don't they?!

We really do appreciate our stuffies - each and every one of them!

So until next time...........

Love ya lots,

Maggie and Mitch

  10. Maggsie & MitchMan!

    I LOVE your commemoration of National Stuffy Appreciation Day! Looks like Mitch is learning to appreciate more than the stuffing.

    What a great way to kick off the holiday... by checking you guys out. Your parents have the holiday off from work, right?

    Goober love & smooches,
    Stanley

  12. oh that's so sweet that you take care of your stuffies and love them. we try to love them, but they just can't withstand our kind of lovin'. then they are shredded and de-stuffed. your way seems better, since they last longer if you take care of them.

    woofs.

  13. Woof! [That's little Levi thinking you Airedales took his wacky duck.]

  15. Hi guys.... this is Apache here from Apache's Tribe. Yep, our playground is for real!!! Isn't it cool!? You guys are having waaaaay too much fun with your stuffies. We are not ALLOWED to have stuffies here. Apparently some of us still have the "killer" instinct in us. Our 2-legged mommy says that all we do with our stuffies is kill them and gut them!!! She has been around too many hunters.... or Airedales.

    Slurps to you both!

  24. Gee Maggie...love ya in those glasses...ya look very er-u-dite...a scholar of magnitude....pawsome....must be that all hoomans are alike in the stuffie department....Gram watches over us like a hawk and when we start ta rip....the stuffies disappear...then later the sewing box comes out and we get all excited cause we know we're gonna get some back for at least a while...til they get ripped again.....such a vicious circle......

  27. Maggie, I didn't know you wear glasses. How cool.

    I love your stuffies and I'm very impressed that you've outgrown tearing them to pieces. I hope I outgrow that too (I am only 22 months old). It's all my mouth's fault, though. It's just so big. Hugs to Mitch.

    xoxo Chef

  29. awww...great stores about your stuffies, Maggie and Mitch. I appreciate mine too. For each stuffie I have, my mommy and daddy usually got at least two of them if they could. They didn't want me to destroy them so quickly and forgot their names. I have almost 50 stuffies...that X 2 (some X7!)..woww...hehee

  31. I love stuffies too! Luckily mine doesn't get kept away because they take a long time to die.

  32. You guys are such good looking Airedales...I get my first haircut on Tuesday! I hope I come out looking like you guys!

  33. Thanks for the comment! Yes, we are sad, but stuffies are a lot for us to handle right now. We can't distinguish between them and daddy's shoes, or mommy's clothes... but I think that's fairly common. Any hints to become more pro-stuffie?

  34. Happy Stuffie Day!
    Yes, Miss Maggie, you and I are both grown up doggies with the self control to enjoy a stuffie for many months (no jaws of death).

    Mitch does look cute with his moose.

  37. Hi Maggie and Mitch!

    You guys look so sweet and cute with your stuffies! My Lisa just wanted to cover you both in kisses and hugs!

  38. I don't think that I am qualified to celebrate National Stuffie Appreciation Day because I'm like Mitch when it comes to stuffies. I'm know as a Professional Stuffie Toy Destroyer, so my stuffies do not last long enough for me to have a collection. I usually will give the full shark attack within 5 minutes. My Mama doesn't have the heart to take my toys away...she just gives scrutinized supervision!

    Hugs,
