She's Totally Lost It

Mom was checking out ebay again and discovered a painting that she swears is Mitch! Both mom and dad would bet money that the artist discovered a photo on our blog and used it! Tell us what you think? We've emailed the artist to see if she'll tell us what doggie's picture she painted from. I hope she tells us!Mitch couldn't believe that this handsome doggie could possibly be him!

At one point he even decided to taste it! Mom almost freaked! hehehe

Today was rainy and yucky and while mom was cooking Mitch decided that WE should play tug! He first tried to stare me down!

That didn't work so now he's biting at my collar trying to get me all riled up!
It always starts out so sweetly. He nips gently! See his foot touching my foot? This ALWAYS means trouble!

I really don't want to play - I'd much rather watch mom and make sure that she doesn't drop anything! I need to be close by so that I can be the first one to snatch it! Mitch is really being insistent!

Well, okay! You asked for it!

Blue awarded us the best blogging buddy award. She said that we're long standing Airedale friends! awwwwwwwwwww, thank you so much, Blue! We are so honored! You're one of our best friends and your blog is one of our most favorite blogs to visit.

We're going to pass this award onto Putter and Bogie and Stanley and Stella!

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

Love ya lots,

Maggie and Mitch

  9. Maggie, It's exhausting! I know exactly what that's like, when you have to play bitey head all the time. It's so frustrating.

  10. Gosh, that does look like Mitch. The people who run the Planet Airedale site that we go on lots (you should join up, it's a lovely bunch of Dale's and their humans) have had quite a few problems with people stealing their photos to use for paintings and advertising.

  16. That painting really does look like Mitch.
    You go girl and show him who is in charge. None of that upstart nonsense. We Alpha girls have to show the brothers who is boss.

  17. Thank you Maggie and Mitch. You guys are very cute too. I wish my ears didn't stick up like they do. They have been kinda freaky looking lately. One sticks up and the other lays over my eye....Its really weird.

  21. Maggie, I think you had the right idea. Sometimes being near Mom when she cooks can really pay off!

  22. That painting sure is pretty!
    I don't have to wear a lampshade, but mom is thinking about it because I have been licking!!

  23. That painting sure does capture Mitch, doesn't it!

    And being a younger pup myself, I understand the need to prod the bear once in a while to stir up a game of tug. :)

    My human's brother (my other uncle)has a friend that paints dogs and sells them on ebay...I think I'm going to be painted soon! Woohoo for being still art!

    Slurp!

  34. Ah yes, I sometimes have to use my fierce bitey face too when junior gets to thinkin he can have MY toys.

    I don't know about that painting. You guys all look the same to me (does that make me a dogist or something)?

  35. The dog in the painting really look like Mitch. I think its really him. I wonder if the artist will answer to the email your mum sent her.

  36. I love the painting! I hope the artist tells your mom if it really is you. I don't think that using a photo as a basis for a painting is the same thing as stealing an actual photo to use for commercial purposes. If you find out differently, let us all know. My mom painted a portrait of the dog they had before me. It's pretty cool. Cooper

  37. Maggie & Mitch,
    My mommy has noticed you wear doggy bandanas quite a lot. She wanted me to ask you if your mommy makes them for you or if she buys them or if someone else makes them for you?
    Love,

  38. Hey, Maggsie & MItchMan!

    Congratulations on your award, and thanks for passing it on to us! You were one of our first friends on DWB, so it means a LOT coming from you guys.

    That painting looks TOTALLY like Mitch. Let us know what the artist says.

    Maggsie, I feel your pain. Stella is ALWAYS at me to play with her, even after I make her chase me all over the yard to wear her out. Sometimes a dog just wants to be alone, ya know? I know you know.

    Goober love & sympathetic smooches,
    Stanley

  39. Oooh, looks exactly like Mitch! Maybe it IS him! I bet the artist just can;'t resist Mitch's good looks that she just had to paint him...Great award you got there!

  40. So glad you let me know your mom makes your bandanas! Now, my mommy wants to know if she just cuts a 22X22 square and hem the sides? My mommy sure is getting pushy with these questions!!
