Mom was preparing dindin when the UPS man delivered the box and she quickly put a halt to that so that she could open the box! Did we tell you that our UPS man, Leo, leaves us two cookies on top of every single box that he delivers? He does, one for each of us - but our mean mom won't let us have them till the next day! She always said that we've just eaten our dindin and we don't need cookies in our bellies too! Did we also point out that we don't like the UPS man! I get very agitated when anyone steps onto our back porch and the UPS man rates right up there as enemy #1! I digress - back to the book!
There really are 50 of Miss Barbara's Airedale paintings in there and I'm on 6 of the pages in the book! I'm blushing!
OMG, this is the painting that's right next to mom's side of the bed of her very special girl! That's ME! Mr. Leonard's prose is beneath every single painting and he captures the spirit of each work just beautifully!
What about me, Maggie! Would Miss Barbara paint me, do you think?
That's me resting on a carrot quilt! Everyone knows that Mr. Carrot is my most favorite toy in the whole wide world!And here she is again and this time she's yacking her head off! She's very well known for that - just like I am!
OMG, these are both 
Holy cripes! It's Doofus! I wonder if he knows that his painting is in Miss Barbara's book too! I wonder what he's staying to this Aire-girl to make her laugh? I wonder if this Dale is Lillie V?!
Guess who else is in the book? My goodest and bestest friend, Putter! I love this painting! It looks just like you, Putter!
What a fabulous book! Of course I am a wee bit prejudiced! Mom says this book will be going on the coffee table so we can look at it often and company will be able to see it too!
Thank you Miss Barbara and Mr. Leonard for one fabulous book! Mom says this is a wonderful memento to have forever and ever!
So until next time...................
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
OMG! OMG! OMG! Maggie!

ReplyDeleteWhat an unbelievable memory/keepsake for momma to have her to favoritest dogs in the pages of a book. Awesome.
What a beautiful book!
ReplyDeleteMaybe your mom ought to reconsider letting you two have the treats from the UPS man, right after he leaves so you'll learn to associate good things come with his visits and you won't hate him anymore. That's very nice of him!

ReplyDeleteThis is Miss Barbara again:
ReplyDeleteto say, my arm might be twisted, to do a book of all the other breeds I have painted in the past.
I have painted other breeds from time to time, but hundreds of Airedales.
Of course, I would need more models...hummmmmm
LOL
What a fabulous book. And you, Ms. Maggie, the star!!!
ReplyDeleteWe forwarded the link to a pal of ours (not a blogger) who has an airedale named Abe.
Do you think Miss Barbara would do wires? We are cousins, after all.
Jake and Just Harry
