Gingerbread Airedales

We're kinda late in posting this but before Christmas, mom and I did a lot of cookie baking and I was the best kitchen helper! Mom mixed up gingerbread cookie batter and I needed to make sure that all of the spices were just right!
Lots of people make gingerbread men for their Christmas cookie platter but not our mom! She wanted to make gingerbread Airedales - lots of them!
These are actually not dog cookies. They're cookies for the hoomans with all of the sugar and molasses and spices but they're still Airedale cookies so we just have to have one of these!I'll bite his head and you get his butt, Mitch!
OMG, you just swooped right in and snagged that right out of my mouth, Mitch! You're a most evil boy!That's okay! There are a lot more on that plate and if I do a high-five I bet mom will share one with me!We'll have to make gingerbread Airedales a tradition every Christmas, mom!

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

Love ya lots,

Maggie and Mitch

    Hi M & M
    They cookies look delightful and we are so glad that you got one - what a waste making great cookies for humans.
    We all know they eat too much and dont get the same exercise as us dogs.
    We think you should have all the cookies!!!
    love and kisses

    Great cookies - what a talented momma you have!! I bet there wasn't one last molecule of batter on that spoon after you were done licking (who needs a dishwasher, right??). If they tasted 1/10 as great as they looked, then I bet you were in heaven!!

    How kewl that you got gingerbread airedale cookies! We got plain ol' round peanut butter cookies. But they're yummy so I won't turn them down.

    I bet those antlers you got for xmas are great to gnaw on. Do you think they came from one of Santa's reinndeer?

    "Run, run, as fast as you can!
    You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!"
    Mom should make some gingerbread Sibes! Ha roo roo roo!

    Fantastic !
    A blog written by Airedales!
    We had a beloved pet Airedale called Sunshine about 10 years ago. She was a beautiful pet and I still miss her even though we have been "minding" our daughter's 2 dogs - a Border Collie and an Australian Cattle Dog - for seven years now !!! (overseas trip to Uk for 5 years then no place to keep dogs that had become OURS!
