Wheelie Wednesday...and Goodbye Pokey!

Hello, all our furry and not so furry friends! It's me, PorkChop! We're very happy that you could join us for Wheelie Wednesday!

See this very furry beast? That's Patches in her current state of fluffiness. Well, next Friday, March 27th, she is going get an Aire-cut! Heeheehee! She's going to Penny and Poppy's old groomer. When the groomer raised her prices, Mom started looking for a new one. She has had the girls to a few of them, but no one seems to do it quite as well as their "old" groomer. Also, Patches is going there for a couple of reasons...one is that the other groomers don't express the anal glands and that's what got Poppy in trouble with an infection. The other reason is that this groomer won't take any s**t from Patches. The other groomers would tell Mom that Patches didn't want her face done, so they didn't do it. Or she didn't want her toenails cut, so they didn't do it. Mom knows that Cindy won't let her get away with anything! Our mom says that if she has to pay for a complete groom, by doG, she's going to GET a complete groom! No more messing around!

Now, on to other impawtent stuffs! Poppy is hanging her head in disbelief at what she's watching and Patches is just awstruck! They are standing in the doorway, to our garage, watching Mom butcher Pokey!

You do remember Pokey, don't you? He is (was) our ginormous Lion buddy. Well, Pokey wasn't just your normal, everyday stuffy...he was filled with teeny tiny styrofoam balls. Right before Christmas, he started leaking those little balls all over the living room floor. Fortunately, Mom caught him before he made a snow storm in the house. She put him in the garage where the 3 P's couldn't get their teefies on him. He stayed out there until a couple of days ago when our mom decided she could use his stuffing to pack stuff that she sells on Ebay.


She went to the garage, armed with a razor knife, to butcher Pokey! The picture, above, is all that's left of him! Three big bags of teeny tiny styrofoam balls! We feel kind of sorry for whoever gets their stuff packed in this stuff...it goes EVERYWHERE! Our garage floor and our mom's clothes were covered with it!

Goodbye, Pokey! You sure were lots of fun! Poppy spent many months performing her secret ritual on you and you took it like a man! She even tried to drag you all over the house and you never complained. You didn't get very far because of your enormous size, but still you never complained! Rest well, old friend!

We're having a nasty, rainy day, today and the 3 P's are doing a fine job of muddying up the deck and the kitchen floor. Our mom has given up on trying to clean their feets as they come in. While she's cleaning up one doggie, the other two charge right past her into the house. She put old towels down, at the top of the steps and there is a very looooooong rug right inside the kitchen door, but neither of them seem to do much good. I keep telling Mom that that's what you get when you choose to share your house with 3 big Aire-heads! Just think how clean the house would stay if you only had wheelies!

Well, everybuddy, it's time for me to go back into my china cabinet, now so I can watch the antics of the 3 P's in peace and where it's dry and NOT muddy!

Aire-hugs,

PorkChop (and Poppy, Penny & Patches too)
