Too Many Pawties and a Gift from Emma

Mom and dad have been going to too many holidays pawties recently. We always know when we're going to be left alone at home because dad showers and mom mysteriously disappears upstairs for a bit and then comes downstairs with clicky heels on and smelling differently than she normally smells.

Last night was the last straw! Mitch is pretty good about going in his crate when mom asks him if he wants a cookie. He runs right in and sits down and waits! He's such a good boy!


Last night when mom and dad came home from the pawty, this is what they found~


Mitch started ripping the stuffing out of his bed! He was fed up with them going out for hours and leaving us alone! The night before last, no goodies came home with mom and dad but last night we scored! Mom and dad went to Emma's house for a pawty. Emma is our Golden Retriever neighbor friend. She's going to be one year old on Christmas day! This beautiful bag had my name and Mitch's name on it!

Mitch was out in the workshop helping dad make tomato sauce so mom and I figured that we'd just go ahead and open it without Mitch and tell him all about it later! Dad always makes his famous sauce out in the workshop so he can spread out! Dad likes lots of room when he cooks!

So here we are back inside and we need to see what Emma sent us in this beautiful snowman bag! Cool - rawhide candy canes! Mitch is going to love finding out about this!


Chicken yummies! OMG, I can smell them though the bag and they smell just Heavenly!

Do you think we could break that bag open, mom and have a taste?


YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM - what until Mitch tastes these!

We weren't the only ones to receive gifts from Emma! Mom got this beautiful Airedale night light and a whole tray of Christmas cookies! I sure hope you're going to share those cookies, mom!


Mitch and I sure are enjoying these chew sticks!


Thank you so much for these delicious goodies, Emma! You and your mom and dad are just so thoughtful! Mom and dad said to tell you that they had the BEST time at your pawty!

Check out Mitch's new collar! Dad found him and Indian motorcycle collar and leash on ebay! We're still waiting for that sidecar, dad!

Our Christmas card door is looking pretty full! We've added a lot more cards since the last time we posted a picture of it! The mailman is STILL bringing cards every day! It sure is fun getting lots of mail! Thank you everybody for all of your beautiful cards! We love them!

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

Love ya lots,

Maggie

  1. Ha ha, Maggie, good idea getting a head start on those treats before Mitch turns up! Hope you left him a few crumbs so he knew what he missed.

    **swoon** Mitch, your new collar is so manly. ***sigh***

  8. Well, a pup can take only so much crate time before going bonkers-these holiday parties are out of control when pups can't go along, we say. You did get a lot of good gifts though. Great bag!

  11. Those candy canes look really yummy. Did you have to share them with Mitch? We are running out of room for all our cards too - but it's fun finding new places to put them. Anywhere you turn are friendly smiling dogs.

  12. Hi, Maggie
    I was thinkingthe same as Joe. Mitch looks tough with his new collar!
    Sure Emma is so nice sending you those treats!
    There is almost no place for more cards there!
    Have a good night

  15. Hi guys!

    Sometimes when your family leaves you alone it is because they have to go and get treats for you. Sometimes they feel guilty and bring you even more stuff! So, it is not always a bad thing when they are gone. It depends on what they bring back!

    Love and Koobuss Kisses,
    Koobie

  16. Glad you got our card M&M! You got a huge collection there... MY mailman has disappeared again. I hope he didn't steal the rest of them. That collar looks great on Mitch but he's a softy not a gangsta! Hehehehe!

    Love licks,

    Thank you for all the lovely photos of your kinky curly head and bootifully curly face! I love watching you enjoy your treats!

    Mitch,

    Your collar is TOO COOL! I hope that sidecar arrives soon so you can speed through the wind with your dad on his cycle! And, I think it's time you made your move on that sweet cutie Mojo! She really digs you, man!

    Goober love & smooches,

  22. Cool, you got a doggy bag and great treats. Pity about Mitch's bed Pebbles hasn't done that yet but last week she chewed all the saton ribbon off mom's sheets. Mom is a softy and Pebbles is still allowed to sleep on the bed with us.

    Have a fabulous day we missed you guys.

  23. Your cards look great, bet you have more than your hoomans? hee hee.

    Your good bag looked interesting and I think it was only correct that you tested the treats before offering them to your brother. I would have done exactly the same!

  33. Hey guys--I do the same thing when the peeps are gone too much--tear stuff up, move it around, eat everything in sight. How else are we going to keep 'em around?

    wally.

    ps. I LOVE Mitch's collar! He looks totally studly.

  34. I used to bite my bed stuff but soon realised I was biting my blankie to spite my cold bottom.

    thank you again Maggie and Mitch and your Mama and Papa for your cool card, I have put a picture on my blog about it tonight.

    Trouble was, I had a reindeer hat on, and was not feelin very happy at the time.

    love you licks, Marvin xxxx

  36. Wow, that door looks so full of cards...how do you open it (hee hee)

    That's no fair when mom and dad go out to have fun and leave you home. Maybe you should chew up those clicking heels, then mom will stay home with you!

  38. Hi Maggie, Hi Mitch,

    What is it with the hoomans ditching us this time of year? It's so not fair! I don't blame Mitch for eating his bed one bit. What a great gift bag from Emma. Yummy candycane raw hides, WOW! Those must have been so yummy.
    BTW: Mitch is looking quite studly in his collar. Good choice made by dad!

    Your pal,

  39. the treats sure looks yummy!

    Why does your dad need to make tomato sauce? I thought they all come in bottles?

  40. It's almost over, Mitch. I'm a Very Old Dog and I know Things. Not much longer, and there will be even more presents for you and the humans will need you to love them so much. They will be tired, and they will collapse on a couch for you to lick them. And even when they go to all these things they would rather be with you and your sweet Maggie.
    But it's almost done.
    Soon, young dog, soon.
