The Celebration of Life Pawty

Last night was mom and dad's celebration of life pawty! It started around 3:30PM and mom and dad didn't climb into bed until 11:30PM! This is late for them and for us!

As you know,we've been supervising the clean-up of dad's workshop all week long and Mitch even helped with the making of the Manhattan clam chowder and the chicken soup and I helped with the chicken appetizers and were we invited to the pawty?
NO! We ask you - how fAire is this?

Mom said guests brought appetizers or desserts or spirits and there was enough food to feed an entire country and were we invited? NO!

Dad ordered 10 pizzas and at the end of the night only 2 pieces remained - one for me and one for Mitch and did we get our fAire share? NO!
Check out the heart of the barn cake that one of the talented guests made!
We got a heads-up that this blueberry pie made it into our kitchen late last night along with an apple pie! Our tongues are ready and waiting! Just look at these luscious desserts! yummmmmmAmy is famous for her cheesecake and yup, mom got a nice BIG piece of it! And did she even think of bringing a smidge of it into the house for two starving pups? NOPE!
Kris brought mom a beautiful quilted square that she made! Mom just loves the colors!
And Jan brought her beautiful flowers on such a cold night! Thank you, Jan!

Guess what? We didn't get any of that snowstorm that Lacie, Stan and Scruffy and so many of our other friends got! Not even one flake!
The musicians played and they sounded awesome!
Don't they sound great?!


Mom and dad said they had a wonderful time! The food was delicious and their friends are the best! Maybe there's hope for us to be able to attend next year. We can hope, right?!

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

Love ya lots,

Maggie and Mitch

  2. Wow! What a great looking bunch of foodables! We think your pawrents' Celebration of Life pawty is WONDERFUL! And it's even more wonderful that your dad is here to celebrate! Maybe, if you start begging NOW, they will let you attend next year!

  3. Wow, what yummy foods. I am getting hungry just looking at the foodibles. I think Mitch should start begging now, and you Maggie should start suggesting Mommy make kidney diet friendly foods for the party;then, you Maggie, should beg like there is no tomorrow for those foods. The one thing I learned from Mack's Kidney issues is that diet is the key to battling this disease.

  13. Did you get to help with the cleanup and the hoovering of crumbs? Maybe help with carrying out the garbage or assit with the disposal unit? How about dishwashing? Were you able to sneak a lick when they stacked the dishwasher?

    Sniffin flowers is fine, but eatin pizza is much better!

    Happy celebration of life!

  16. We would have loved to celebrate life with you and your pack. You know...Ms. Alpha is a cancer survivor and I think she lives life in 5th gear all the time. Talk about celebrating!!! Getting me as a puppy was proof of that.

    I've got about a million snowballs waiting down here in MD. It's so much fun. The snow is so deep that a plow broke down in our neighborhood. That means no cars and dogs running free!!!

    Yippeeee,

  31. I've never seen such yummy foods and so many different kinds in one place! The clam chowder really sounds good to us now in this brrrr, cold weather. The quilt square and flowers were such pretty colors. You guys know how to celebrare!
    I'm getting ready to listen to the band music. Have a great week.

  32. I know, Maggie and Mitch! Can you believe it? I am so happy that the pawty is over (I think) and we can get back to normal (I think). I'm all for pawtying, but the Irishman went to bed last night. I can only do so much of Who 'Dattin!!!!! But we are thrilled too!!!

  33. It looks like a great party. All that delicious food and you weren't invited? We think that is cruelty to Airedales and you should report you parents to the humane society immediately.

  35. Look at all that delicious food - and the band sounds great - did anyone dance? Those pizzas looked scrumptious, at least you got one piece.

    Sorry about the snow - we got a little on Friday and a little overnight but nothing like THAT storm the others got.

    Hope you can snag some of that blueberry pie.

  45. Hi Maggie and Mitch,

    Darn! We missed it! We forgot to mark our calendar! We are sooo sorry we didn't make it to your party. Oh wait a minute, you two weren't there either!

    Well then it's a good thing we didn't come cause it wouldn't have been half as much fun without you guys there.

    Wow, what a party!!!

    Luv ya,
    Riley and Star.

  46. M&M, That looks like a fabulous party. The food!!!!! I'm drooling looking at those pictures. I have no doubt your mom and dad have great friends. It's because they are great people. I would come lay around your barn any day, although I don't really sing or bake. Just a dog, after all.

  53. Your humans and their friends made some yummy looking stuff. Too bad they didn't share more. Even the pizza. My humans always say yummy stuff is bad for me. Then they open a can of dog food. How can that be better than pizza?
