International Package Exchange!

Hi everybody! It's me, Patches. Today was a very exciting day for us. The FedEx man brought us a package from our pal, Pedro! It's for the International Package Exchange that Mr. T-Bone Beasley and Chef had the brilliant idea for. Mom took a picture of the package before any of us saw it.

Once we realized what she had, Poppy and I had a meeting to decide who would get to open it. As it turns out, we were taking too long so Mom decided to open it for us. Woohoo! There was lots of really cool stuff inside.

Poppy grabbed a fleece crab toy that squeaks and she hasn't quit squeaking it YET! Too bad Dad was trying to take a nap when Mom opened the box for us. For some strange reason, Mom thought she would have some control over the contents of the box. Wrong, Mom! We don't know WHAT gave her that idea!

Poppy's been holding onto the fleece crab so tight that Mom can't even take the tags off of it.

I decided to check out this cool duck! He even floats so if we ever get a pool, he can go in it with us. He is also a good tug toy!

Here's Poppy STILL squeaking the crab. Hey, Poppy, can I have a turn? Well, I guess I'll have to wait until she goes to sleep. Maybe I'll just go play with the Star Fish thingy. I hear it floats too, so if we ever get that pool, we'll be all set!

Here's the really nice letter that Pedro sent along with all the cool goodies! Thank you SOOOOO much, Pedro and Pedro's mom! Until today, I hadn't really shown any interest in toys, but I sure do like that duckie! Uh oh! Now, Penny's playing with the duck. I guess I'll go get the lobster treats and eat them all by myself!

These are the eatable lobsters. There were 3 of them in the box! Notice how there are only two of them and one is sort of um...broken? Well, as soon as Mom put the box on the floor for us, I took off with one and ate it all up. The second one kind of hit the wooden floor and I tried to grab it too, but Mom said I only get one at a time. Pedro and his mom really know how to shop!!! Sorry there aren't any pictures of Penny with our new toys. She took off to hide under a bed as soon as she heard the camera!

I hope everyone enjoyed seeing all the goodies we got from Pedro! We're headed over to see Chef now and let him know our pictures are posted. We're also going over to see Pedro and thank him dogsonally!

Aire-hugs,

Patches (and Poppy & Penny too)!!!!
