DWB cards, award...and other impawtant stuffs!

Hi everybuddy! It's me, Patches! We are finally all done with our snail mail and e-cards. If we missed anybuddy, it wasn't intentional. Please accept this card from us to you! The three of us girls have received 82 cards and our pawrents have 3! Heeheehee! Maybe it's because we are so much cuter than they are!...or furrier...whatever!

Some time ago, we received this cool award from Kess and her mama. Thank you sooooo much! We will put it on our side bar and be very proud of it!

This is me and Poppy begging our dad for some date bar. Every year, Mom makes him one little pan of date bars. Mom doesn't eat them and they are way too hard to make in a large quantity.

This is a rare picture of Penny (with the scary eyes). She really wanted some date bar, but she was also trying to get away from the camera. What a camera chicken!

This is our teeny tiny ceramic Christmas tree. Mom puts it on an antique plant stand so Santa Paws can put all our presents under it, when he gets here. There are tiny lights on it, but we only turn it on at night time.

This is a crocheted Christmas tree that our mom made many, many years ago. Her grandma taught her to crochet when she was 9 years old. She used to crochet a lot, but since she started needle felting, she doesn't do it so much anymore. Just once in a while to make sure she still remembers how. Our mom is amazed that none of us doggies have messed with this tree. It has a styrofoam cone inside that is wrapped with polyfil. That's like a dog magnet for us! Since all our stuffies have polyfil inside them, we think anything that smells like polyfil must be for us!

I got in huge trouble on Wednesday. Mom had wrapped some Christmas presents and stacked them on a trunk at the end of the guest bed. Then, she left and went to spend the day with Aunt Wendy. Well, I guess I got bored or something and I cruised around the house looking for something to get into. Dad was in his workshop in the basement so he didn't know what we were up to. He only knew that we were quiet and we weren't making the thundering herd noises. Well, when he came upstairs, he found one of the presents unwrapped on the living room floor. I had a ripping good time with the paper, but he caught me before I destroyed the present. Lucky for me!

This is Poppy when Mom came home from the groomer's. She went to get a haircut and she got sheared like a sheep! Her hair is really short and she says she looks like a pinhead! You see, our Mom has bleached her hair for about 4 years and she has decided to let it go back to her natural color. She isn't too sure, right now, what her natural color is. It used to be blue-black, but not anymore. It's mostly gray and white, but right now, she looks like Chester Cheetah! The ends are still platinum blond, but the roots are a mixture of gray, black and white. Yep...Chester Cheetah for sure! She says she'll decide what to do with it once she finds out what color it really is!

Our Bluebirds have been coming to our deck everyday to eat! We are soooo excited! Yesterday, we had 5 of them all at one time! I, Patches, got so excited that I barked at them, but they only flew as far as the deck rail. I guess they must be used to us doggies by now!

Well, everybuddy, I'm going outside now to enjoy my poop-free back yard. Mom poopie-scooped this morning and she filled up the bucket twice! So...if you happen to be a trash collector in our town, be aware that there are 2 big bags of poop waiting for you in our trash barrell. Merry Christmas! Heeheehee! (Mom says that's not funny, but we think it's hysterical)!!

Aire-hugs,

Patches (and Poppy & Penny too!)
