Planet Airedale

This is one of our favorite days of the entire year!  We love heading to Cornwall Bridge, Connecticut, for Planet Airedale or Barktoberfest!
There is Airedale stuff everywhere!

The hoomans get to use a real outhouse if they have to do business~

Half of the fun of visiting Barbara Curtiss's awesome property is seeing her husband, Denis's magnificent works of art!





 Who the heck is this guy and why is he in there?

Dad and Mitch were checking out Denis's workshop.

 There were even doggies brave enough to wear halloween costumes!

This pup is a dragon!
 And this one is a flower girl. Isn't she pretty.

 This is Saxon.  What a ham he is!  
Mom says he is just so calm and sweet - totally unlike us.  HEY!
Thanks for taking us, dad!  We know how tired you were from the halloweenie pawty at the Crump barn the night before but you were nice enough to shorten your sleepies so we could have the bestest time!  We love you!

Happy November everyone!

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

Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch

  3. Hi Maggie & Mitch, looks like you guys had the best weekend.
    We loved those sculptures - especially the Airedale and pup. We also loved the squirrel!
    Lovely seeing the halloween costumes - we still refuse to dress up so our mum loves to see other "more co-operative" doggies!!!
    Your Dad is the best - these humans sooooo need their sleep.
    Happy November to you too.
    love
