Today is a most important day! It's January 2st, 2009, and it's time to measure those beards and log in our measurements for
Stanley and Stella's beard growing competition in honor of Stanley's dearly departed buddy, Dovah Doo, who had one fabulous beard!
This is my beard on October 1st! It measured 4"!
And here I am today! My beard is 4 1/2" long, even after all the tugging and fancy treatments that I've been doing weekly! Mom shot this picture the day before my booboo surgery!
Mom was having a problem getting the above picture and she thought she'd outsmart me! See this tasty rawhide at 5 1/2" long!
Mom thought maybe if she measured my beard with the rawhide it would somehow maybe measure a bit longer! HUH??!! I'm not sure what she was thinking but this is the end result!
Gosh, mom! What did you think was going to happen?! My beard is still 4 1/2"!
Here is Mitch on October 1st! His beard is 2 1/4"
And here he is again on November 1st! His beard measures 3"! It grew a whole 3/4"! His secret is the apple juice! There is hardly a day that goes by that Mitch does eat an apple! I guess it paid off, right!
Here is Mitch's final picture for the beard challenge! A grand total of 3 1/4"!
We can't wait to see pictures of everyone's beards! Measure them up and let Stanley and Stella know you're in! May the longest and dirtiest beards win! whooooooohoooooooooo
So until next time..............
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
I think you're the winner Maggie. I'm going to have mine measured tomorrow. I think it shrunk lol.
ReplyDeleteYou were asking about how tall the Wollemi will grow. Well there is one growing in the secret gorge that is 40 metres tall. It can survive temps as low as -12 C or 10.4 F.

Wow! Both your beards are growing like no doggy's business!!! You could always straighten it with a straightener to make it look longer or you could always make it look a little bit nicer by braiding it. Hee!

Good luck to both of you in the beard growing competition. I can't wait to see the results. I think Maggie deserves at least an honorable mention for the best groomed beard.
ReplyDeleteSlobbers,

Wow, I didn't know you guys grew beards! Cool!
ReplyDeleteOzzie is a puppy, so it has a small beard, and he's a poodle, is that weird? I can't take photos to it because the camera is broken :(
ReplyDeleteMaggie,
ReplyDeleteEven though yer beard didn't grow that much ya sure have a long one....even longer than Mitch who eats an apple a day...but then we thought that an apple a day just kept the doctor away.....good luck on the contest.

ReplyDeleteExcellent work! Now if there was a contest for bushiest mustaches....
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Your pal,

If I were an Airdale I could win at this one! Ma says my beard is always too long and too dirty so she grooms me every now and then, but I don't think it helps much!
ReplyDeleteHi, Maggie and Mitch!
ReplyDeleteThe challenge is going to be pawesome!
You two have long beards!
Good luck
Kisses and hugs
Lorenza
hi m & m
ReplyDeleteemmitt and i love this post and the contest. emmitt says he wishes he could grow a beard. he volunteers to eat as many apples as it takes!
xoxoxoxo
m & e
Very impressive, Maggie! Mitch, too. Must be that salt air up there in New England. I can't grow a beard anywhere close to that.
ReplyDeleteBesides, all that math and measuring with rulers and rawhides just confuses me.
Good luck in the competition.
Love and Koobuss Kisses,
Koobie
Thanks for the birthday wishes! Hope you guys win longest and most improved!
ReplyDeleteThats some serious beard growth. Will you get a trim any time soon?
ReplyDeleteMaggsie & MitchMan!
ReplyDeleteYour beard measurements and the photos are duly noted and officially entered into the competition. LOVE the photos. Your mama is trying to be sly, but she can't pull anything over on YOU... not since that lemon incident.
Tell Mitch that he's definitely in the running too ~ for most improved beard! Those apples really must be doing the trick!
Can't wait to see who wins... but despite the contest you two are always winners in my book! (Cheesy, but true!)
Goober love & smooches,
Stanley
Wow... i didn realise both of you have such long beard!!! I am clean shaven... if given a choice, i would like to see how i look like with beard. :p
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Reina
Good luck in the contest. The Mommy says she agrees with Mitchie...it's gotta be the apples.
ReplyDeleteI like them too.
later Mona
oh boy! when sister gets ben they can compete with you guys! does your mom groom you guys, or do you have a groomer you go to? Sister has never had a dog that needed professional grooming before!
