Happy Barkday to Penny and Patches' New Aire-cut!

Hi everybuddy! It's me, Patches! Today is Penny's 10th barkday! We would like to thank everyone who has wished her a Happy Barkday and a special thanks to Asta for the bootiful card! As you can see, Penny is about to dive into that gorgeous cake! Our pawrents have some special treats for all of us, but we won't get them until later today.

Now, for my beautimous Aire-cut pictures! Yesterday, Mom and Aunt Wendy dropped me off at our new/old groomer. Her name is Cindy and she is a sweetheart! She loved on me so much, that I let her do whatever she wanted to me!

Our mom was trying to get a full-body shot of me so you can see that my skwerrel tail is gone! Heehee...Penny accidentally got into my picture when she was trying to get away from the camera. This is the first really good shot of my new collar, since it isn't buried in all my fluffy furs. See the white edging on it? Well, that stitching is actually really small, but the flash, on the camera, magnifies it so you can actually see it!

Cindy gave me lots of peanut butter so I would let her Dremel my nails. When I was all done and smelled really good, she even gave me a pink flowerdy bandananananana! She said I get a pink one because I'm so ladylike. She obviously hasn't seen me at home!

Now, I am the best looking and best smelling doggie in da house! I did get some disturbing news, though! Some of you may remember that when I first came to live here, at Airedale Heaven, I only weighed 32 pounds and all my bones were nekkid. Well, now, I weigh 56.6 pounds and Mom says I'm looking a little porky. I don't really know what that means, but she said something about a d-i-e-t! Oh horrors! Does this mean that I won't be getting as many treats? I'm hoping it means that I will still get just as many, but maybe they will be smaller...like how they hand out Poppy's treats! I think I could handle that...as long as they don't stop the treats completely. I spent way too long without enough to eat and I just LIVE for FOOD! Mom keeps telling me not to worry...that I will ALWAYS have enough foodables and treats!

We have received messages saying that several doggies have given us awards and we want you all to know that we will be by your bloggys soon to collect them. Thank you, very much! We love all of you and we are VERY glad to be a teeny tiny part of the DWB community!

Well, everybuddy, I'm off to have my first nap of the day. We figure that if we nap a lot, the time will go by faster until our pawrents give us all of Penny's barkday presents!

Aire-hugs,

Patches (and Penny & Poppy too)
