Mom's Home

Our mom flew into Hartford yesterday afternoon and Mitch and I got to go with dad to pick her up! Mom was thrilled to see us but we were being little devils and the both of us looked at her like she was a stranger! Do you guys ever do this to your moms when they come home from a trip - kinda give them the cold shoulder?
We sorta continued to hold her off even though she was being so sweet to both of us!

We were expecting something special and yummy from Florida but guess what she brought home with her? What the heck is this, mom?
A pie server?
Don't they have dog treats in Florida?!
While mom was gone we got mail! Christmas cards!
We're not even in the DWB Christmas card exchange this year! Thank you so much Baby Rocket Dog and Hootie and Reilly and Keeley and Teagan and to Noah and his sissies Willow, Tess and Lucy and to our dear friend Carol Usher! We love your Christmas cards! They are so special to us!
Check out the stamp that came on Carol Usher's envelope!
That's ME! Is that cool or what?!
How'd she do that?!
We also got 2 packages in the mail. One of them mom says is a Christmas pressie and NO OPENING it until Christmas!
What do you think, Mitch? Should we peek?
The other package is from Toby, Ginger and Jeter, our Poodle buddies that live in Alaska!
Our friend, Jazzi the Scottie is having a Christmas package exchange and we got Toby, Ginger and Jeter's names! They don't have our names but they are such sweeties that they wanted to send us a pressie anyway! Isn't that just too generous! Awwwwwww thanks, guys!
What do you think, Mitch?
I'm game if you are!
Mom said no not yet! You're such a pawty pooper mom but it sure is nice to have you home!
BTW, this morning we both gave mom a huge welcome home and almost pushed her over! hehehe

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

Love ya lots,

Maggie and Mitch

  8. Gee, she could have brought you a flamingo or a palm tree or a Burmese python (NOT)or a gator, or a heron or lots of sand or you name it. But I bet that pie server was wrapped in lots and lots of love and thoughts of yummy pies.

    Now, please answer this question: who is that wire fox terrier looking canine on your header. Did one of you turn pale at all the excitement?

    Nosey terrier minds want to know...

    Wirey love!!

  9. Hey guys!

    Be nice to your momma, okay? I know it's not nice of her to leave you guys for so long, but now she's back and that's always a good thing!

    As for the pie server... well... maybe she does deserve a little bit of the cold shoulder hahaha!

  10. Did you check out your Mom's bags to be sure she didn't pack away some treats? We like to snoop thru her stuff.

    Glad you Mom is home safely and it looks like a good Christmas coming your way.

  22. Such nonsense to save a package and not open it. Maybe you can sneak a peak during the night.

    I always like to play it safe and give a huge Mango greeting. Well, unless I am busy meditating and then I expect the humans to come to ME in the dog cave.

    Slobbers,

  23. I ALWAYS give mom the cold shoulder when she comes in from work. But sometimes at night I may give her a few kisses....if she's lucky.

    It looks like Santa Paws has already been to your house!

  27. She didn't bring you any nummy oragnes? The naval and tangerines are yummy this year, nice n juicy. And those humongous Pommelos or whatever they are called. I bet yer Mom just smelled funny after being on a plane. That's why you were a bit standoffish. Then in the morning she smelled like her normal Mom self. Give her extra lovin to make up for you less than warm welcome and maybe she'll find something more interesting than a pie server sans pie in her bags.

    sniffies,

  28. Glad your Mum's home! That happens around here too. It's called punishing the humans for leaving without us. Then we make it up with big wiggle butts and tons of wet kisses!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Oh, we are so glad your moma is home! She was worrying about you, especially YOU, Maggie!

    Pawsonally we think that pie server is pretty special. Might it suggest some APPLE pie or PEANUT BUTTER pie or even ICE CREAM pie in the near future? We'd be happy to come share recipes and help in the kitchen!

    BTW ... you may want to leave a piece of pie for the postman! Sounds like you are keeping him or her busy!

    Enjoy!

  31. Very exciting to have crisp mas presents already!
    I get so very excited to see Mum when she gets back that I prefer to jump all over her. I sometimes give her the cold shoulder if she been out late though.

  33. You two are going to have a very hard time using that pie server without any thumbs! We're glad your mom got home safely and we know you are too...even though you didn't show her right away! Maybe she won't leave you anymore since she got the "cold shoulder" when she came home!

  36. Oh good grief! Your header picture is the greatest. Red noses and everything! How'd you get those hats on your heads??

    I think you should open your gift when YOU want to. Don't you??

    Welcome home to your peep Mom.

  37. Well, we would have liked to shove a moose in that little box for you but we could not wrangle one up in time. It would be like trying to put Mango in a box! hehehe.... we got the Amazing Animals for our Christmas pressie exchange but our mom got confused so we told her to send BOTH Maggie and Mitch and the Amazing Animals some pressies. We love you and glad your Mom is home safe and sound. But a pie server?

  38. Wow!! Cards & presents!!! You guys are pretty special. Too bad no Florida treats though. How could she not have treats for you both. Bet she had some hidden to see if you could find them. Gonna be hard waiting until Christmas to open presents...If your're really good and butter them up, maybe they'll let you open them sooner.

  39. Hi M and M
    Giving mom the cold shoulder-huh? Nice terrier trick... to get all the treats. I know. Don't worry your secret is safe. At least you got a good wiff of the pressies. You have amazing friends.. but go figure.. you both are top notch.

  40. Oh yeah, we can be a little into ourselves when Mom is gone too long, but we warm up in a little while! One time Mom took all of us away for 4 days except for ol' Clancy, and when we all came back, Clancy cried and cried she was so happy!

    I read your previous bloggie entry, and my doggie mom Clancy is also on doxy for a high Lyme titer. We all thought she just hurt her leg but it turned out it was Lyme after all! Her leg got well but she just wasn't very perky.. now she's doing lots better since she got the pills.

    Mom felt so bad she started making some extra YUMMY food just for her. Gee what do I have to do for that great food?? (MOM: it's for her low albumin levels Rudy! Relax!)

    Love,
    Rudy

  41. Hi Maggie and Mitch,
    We TRY to act upset when our parents leave us for a few days, but once we see them, our happiness and excitement always get the better of us and we end up trying to lick them like crazy!! We HAVE TO try harder next time.. sigh..
    We did not participate in the card exchange this year too cos mom doesn't think she'd be able to cope... but we have sent some of our extra special friends a card. Look out for the mailman!

  42. Glad you got your Mom home - pie server or no pie server. Although I agree - I hope there is a pie that goes with that server!

    Great cards - and can't wait to see the Christmas gifts!!

  44. Wow, what a loot. It sure would be difficult to hold off 'til xmas to open those pressies.

    We are not very good at holding off so we already had some of ours...

    Our excuse was St Nikolaus day, the 6th of Dec. Mum is German and she always got something special on that day when she was growing up.

    As our annual xmas picnic with the Airedale Club fell on that day this year, she let us have our stockings from the fundraiser with loads of treats and treasures...

    But of course, we hear, there is more to come for the big day. But did you know we'll have the big day on the 24th, following the German tradition? So we won't have to wait quite as long as you...
