Mom groomed me this morning! She says that it's getting harder to groom me the older I get because I need so many sitting breaks! She says that she can't groom my butt if I'm sitting on it and she can't groom my back legs if she can't see them! Whatever, mom! This older girl gets tired more easily, ya know!
We had two Thanksgivings this year! On Thursday mom made the turkey with all the trimmings and it was just dad, mom and us for dindin. Yesterday my sissy, Missy and Jim were here and we had Thanksgiving again but this time we had pumpkin pie with whipped cream and mom was nice enough to share a smidge with Mitch and I! Look what Missy and Jim brought mom! Isn't is beautiful! Poincettia's are on the poison list for us doggies so make sure you guys don't eat any part of this plant, okay? They're very beautiful flowers but deadly!
On a positive note - I hear that pizza is on the menu for dindin tonight! whooooooohooooo Mitch and I will be giving thanks for that too!
So until next time....................
Love ya lots,
Maggie
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? 
24. Favourite for Christmas dinner? 
Okay, Maggie, I can speak for myself now! Thank you Happy and Faya and Dyos and Asta for my beautiful birthday cards! I love them all! My 2nd birthday was the best ever!
Mom and I want to try out a new recipe for Thanksgiving this year that we've never made before. We found it in this cookbook that mom has had for awhile now! The cookbook is called "Beyond Beans, Beer and BBQ" and it contains the BEST recipes from lots of contributing Airedale folks! Mom contributed a couple of recipes too! The cookbook was a fund raiser for the Lone Star Airedale Terrier Club. 
The recipe that we're going to make is called Get Together Grape Salad! The story that goes with this recipe is as follows: Donna first had this salad in the 1940's. An aunt brought it to all the family get togethers. Now it has become a third generation recipe and a tradition at all our holiday meals together. Delicious with roasted turkey!
It sounds PERFECT so that's what we'll be making to go along with our Thanksgiving dindin tomorrow!
Yooooooooooohooooooooooooo! Maggie and Mitch!!!! Where are you?!!!!!!!
We'll have to let you know how the salad turns out!
Pawty time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you see me in the corner! Mom wanted to take a picture of my "cake" before I ate it all in 5 seconds flat! I had a very hard time being patient!
Told ya it would be gone fast! I think Maggie liked it as much as I did!
I've got to get every single morsel! We don't want to miss a crumb! Mom wants to add that I weigh 66 pounds and she's hoping that's the limit for me now that I'm 2 and hopefully full- grown! Keep feeding me all of this good stuff and I doubt it, mom! And she also wants to add that I'm 26" to the withers, whatever that means! 
What a fun day I'm having! I hope it never ends! Thank you all for your birthday wishes! I love you all!
A glowball that squeaks! This one is MINE, Mitch! Don't even think about stealing it from me!
And PoopsieBlue sent mom this most awesome book! Mom says this afternoon we'll light the fire in the fireplace and dad will be watching the NY Giants play football and mom will read her new book! She can't wait! 
There was also the neatest rubber frisbee-type toy in the bag too! Mom wanted to take a photo of it before Mitch got ahold of it! Too bad, mom! You'll never get it now! 
What a goofy boy! 
Thank you so very, very much for our pay it forward pressies, PoopsieBlue! We love them all! You've turned our boring Sunday into a fun Sunday and we just love that!
This ice cream is vanilla with a cinnamon flavor and it has chunks of apple in there and chunks of pie crust! OMG, it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! Can you see the drool on my bottom lip?! 
And I've gotten 2 birthday cards in the mail! This one is from my friend, 
And today this cute card arrived from my WFT friend, 
We would like to award this to any doggie that visits our blog! You're all such good friends and we appreciate and love you all!
There are already TONS of Christmas goodies all over the store! How festive everything looks!
There are just too many decisions to be made here! How do we decide on the perfect gift?!
Look at all of these stuffies! Maybe we should just buy them all, mom!
oooooooooooooooooooo, check out that beautifully soft and wonderful bed! Follow me, mom, this is just the PERFECT gift!
It's just the right size and it's such a nice color and it smells so good and I think we NEED this, mom!
There sure are lots of yummy looking looking things here, mom! Let's make sure we buy LOTS of them! Mitch and I can always eat the leftovers, right?!
What a fun trip this was! Thanks for letting me tag along and choose a couple of gifts for two very special friends!
So until next time.................
I decided that it was time for me to take off my pumpkin bandana and put my sunflower hat on the shelf for now and get into the spirit of Christmas with my scarf and cap and mittens and my Christmas bell pin and I even found a Christmas wreath to hang off my tail!
Well look at this! An apple - and it's still on the tree! I guess Mitch hasn't discovered this one yet! That boy is obsessed with apples, ya know! Word has it that he wants apple cake for his birthday! I hope he gets it!
Awwwwwwwwww, that kiss will get you everywhere, Mitch! Of course I'll help you get it down off the tree and into your waiting mouth! hehehehe
