There's a birthday pawty happening over there! Should we crash it?!
Those kids are all getting ice cream! Mom is going to let us go over there too, right?
I wonder what kind of ice cream he carries on that neat truck?
OH NO! He's backing out to leave! We've got to hurry mom! Grab some money P-L-E-A-S-E!!!!
OH NO, Maggie! I think he's leaving and we didn't get any ice cream! This is just horrible! I can't believe this is happening! OMG, he's driving away! W-A-I-T!!!!!
I need to hold my leash for comfort, Maggie! I can't believe this happened! I'm so stressed! He was so close! I can almost taste that ice cream!
So until next time..............
Love ya lots,Maggie and Mitch
Kodiak just got a new baby brother named Falcon and he is the cutest thing ever! Can you smell that puppy breath?!
Our first stop was the 
I know you're not seeing ME in any of these pictures but I really was there! I spent 90% of my time staring out the open back window and catching all the beautiful breezes and the wonderful smells!
We finished up our business and decided to go back the way we came so we could see how Mrs. Turtle was making out! 
The lavender is in bloom! Mom and I have been outside for a few days now cutting lavender flowers and the oils from the plants are getting all over my fur and I smell so pretty!
Mom has a trunk full of wool yarn that she uses to knit the purses that she felts and she uses the lavender as a moth repellent so her wool stays safe from those flying buggies! So far, so good! We've never had a moth problem and the inside of the trunk smells really nice!
We're planning on trying our hand at these 
And did you all see the beautiful garden bandana that
And now you have to see what they sent to Autumn! It's a gardening bandana, just her size, with all kinds of gardening related things on it - clay pots and flowers and a rake and trowels and shovels and a froggie on a lily pad and bumblebees and butterflies! It's just adorable! Autumn is stylin'!
And are you ready for this?! Autumn and I match! We're twinsies! The collar Patience sent me is the very same gardening fabric in cheerful yellow! I love it!
You and your Whippets are so sweet, Patience! Thank you so very, very much for my birthday pressie! We all thank you! We are totally blown away by your generosity! We can't thank you enough! I can't wait to see what mom hid from me! I can see already that this is going to be one special birthday! 
We have to tell you all a funny story. Mom ran the Hoover this morning and I was in the house with her and Mitch was outside with dad. Dad had to run an errand so he brought Mitch inside the house and left him with us. It didn't take mom long to notice that there was mud throughout the entire downstairs of the house! Natually she blamed dad! When dad came home, mom confronted him on this issue and he said that it wasn't him! Guess who our mud tracking friend was? Mr. Mitch had been digging prior to dad bringing him in and he had lots of the wet brown stuff caked in his paws! ewwwwwwwwwwwwww
We didn't get ice cream right after the Glenwood but the next night we did head to our favorite spot in Durham! You can't see it, but I am chewing on a pretty good sized piece of ice cream cone! The cone is almost as good as the ice cream!
So until next time.................
Mom was VERY generous with the size of the slices! It's so sweet and juicy! YUM!
If there's another Aireboy on the face of this earth that loves fruit more than my brother, please come forward! Mitch is NUTS about fruit - all kinds! Poor dad can't even eat his wallymelon in peace!
Happy first day of summer!
We're going to pass the award onto 
The Mountain Laurel is in bloom! It's Connecticut's state flower and even though it doesn't smell, it's still a stunning flower! We just love it!
The Roses are in bloom too! Mom stinks at growing roses because she hates to feed them and she hates to spray them and these are both MUST-do's when you own roses! We have ONE rose bush in our entire yard and it's blooming and it smells so lovely!
We bought 3 new bushes this year - a blue hydrangea and a yellow barberry, which you see here and she finally broke down and bought a pink hydrangea! Can you see the flower right behind my head on my back? It's a silk one but it matches the blue hydrangea bush that's real! It's hard to tell what's real and what's fake!
And so is the Foxglove! They've very, very tall - way over my head! Mom has light yellow foxgloves too!
The Daylillies are beginning to come into bloom too! This one kinda matches my carrot bandana!
That's my garden tour for this week! I hope you enjoyed it!
Snowball made her own card! Isn't she just the prettiest girl you've ever seen?! Snowball and I are the same age, ya know! Well, we will be as soon as my birthday gets here!
Wow! Look what she sent me! I've never had anything this stylish before, Snowball! How pretty! Mom and I just love the colors! I can't wait for the weather to get cold so I can wear this on my walkie!
