Wheelie Wednesday!

Hi everybuddy! We're glad you could join us for Wheelie Wednesday! Today, I PorkChop will be doing the post! I haven't been around much lately, because our mom has just been too busy to help me post. Yesterday, I watched her from my home in the china cabinet. I saw her pitch forking pine straw and picking up lots and lots of dog poopies in the back yard. Boy, I'm sure glad I don't contribute to the poopie piles out there! With three Aire-heads (or should I say Aire-BUTTS), there is a LOT of poopies to be picked up. When just Poppy and Penny were here, they seemed to keep it confined to the grass, but Patches is another story. She has been doing her stuff in the woods! Whenever our people walk in the back yard, they know they have to watch for "land mines" in the grass, but the woods was always a poopie-free zone. Well, those days are OVER!

Yesterday, somedog, who will remain nameless, caused one of our stuffies to 'splode. We don't want to name names, but her initials are PDP (Patches D Pup). She told Mom that this big red and white doggie just 'sploded all by himself! Mom wasn't buying her story!

The first clue was that there had been a stuffie avalanche! Our stuffies are usually piled up way higher than the wallpaper, but you can see that the pile has kind of sunk and what you can't see is that the rest of the living room is FULL of wayward stuffies. Just the night before, Mom had piled all the stuffies up because she was going to steam clean the carpets. Well, before she even got started, Patches pulled a stuffie out of the middle of the pile and that triggered the avalanche.

Patches and Poppy take great pleasure in running around on the wet carpet. Penny actually likes to sleep on it and our mom thinks she is crazy. She can't believe it doesn't feel really cold on Penny's skin. Maybe it's because there is so much Aire-hair between the wet carpet and her skin!

Patches is protesting that b-a-t-h thingy that she heard she is getting! She says she's just starting to smell really "doggy" and now Mom wants to take it all away. Fortunately, for her, the b-a-t-h will have to wait until our mom's back recovers from all the pitch forking!

Poppy says she's going to hide in one of the bedrooms because she thinks she might be next for the b-a-t-h! Don't worry, girls, I heard Mom say there will be more pitch forking going on today. That means at least one more day of recovery before she can give anydog a bath!

Right after our mom finished steam cleaning the bedroom carpet, all 3 Aire-goofs had to check it out! It's hard to see in this picture, but Penny is in here too! They are all really upset because their beds are all piled up on the big bed. Wait till they find out that their beds are going to be washed in the near future! They are too big to fit in the washing machine, so Mom will have to take them out onto the deck, one at a time, and hose them off. It takes about a week for each one to dry, so for quite a while, there will be ONE doggie without a bed! Poppy says it won't be her, because she bed-hops to which ever one is available!

Well, everybuddy, that's all for today. I'm going back into my china cabinet now where there is no wet floor and no chance of me having a b-a-t-h!

Aire-hugs,

PorkChop (and Poppy, Penny & Patches too)

Busy, busy, busy!

Hello everydoggie, kittie, hammie, bear, goat and hooman! It's me, Poppy! Sorry we haven't been blogging much lately. Our personal secretary is too busy to operate the keyboard for us. We keep barking orders to her, but she doesn't seem to hear us. We don't know what her problem is. She doesn't have a real job anymore, but she's always doing SOMETHING! At least she still finds time to feed us and give us treats!

Patches has found out that she might be going to an Airedale event, in Atlanta, next Sunday. She is hoping to meet one of her littermates that lives most of the year in Floriduh. We sure hope she gets to go, but it depends on a lot of stuff. Mostly, it depends on whether Aunt Wendy will be able to go. Since it's in Atlanta, our mom refuses to drive there by herself! She has cataracts in both eyes and can't read street signs anymore, so she doesn't drive to anywhere she is unfamiliar with! Patches is kind of upset because she has heard that this event means she will have to have a b-a-t-h! She is really not looking forward to that!

This is a picture of our mom's latest felties. They don't have names yet, but they will be going up for auction, soon, on that Ebay kennel we've been hearing so much about. Remember Bess and Bill from our last post? Well, they are going to live in Wisconsin with a very nice lady that has 2 Aire-kids. They have been renamed Duchess and Oliver and they will be on their way to the land of great cheese tomorrow.

We have been having a blast at the Howl-o-ween pawty at the Tower of London. Lacie keeps feeding us some really yummy smoothies and we just can't stop giggling! Today is our last day in the UK, so we should be home later on tonight. It sure has been a lot of fun! We have been having a terrific time playing bitey face with lots of our DWB buddies! We even think we may have seen a few ghosts!

Aire-hugs,

Poppy, Penny & Patches

Happy Weekend, Everybuddy!

Hi everybuddy! It's Bess and Bill! We were put up for auction, this morning on that Ebay kennel.

We are pulling a farm wagon that the 3 P's dogdad built. It took him a veeeeeery long time to build it because he tried to make it as authentic as possible. Our creator thinks we should fill the wagon with snow and Christmas presents. Maybe our new furever pawrents will do that!

The 3 P's are having a very lazy day today. It's raining, the wind is blowing very hard and it's kind of cold outside. Every time they have to go outside, they stand at the top of the steps until Mom or Dad MAKE them go down the stairs. I guess they don't want to get their tender feets wet.

We are asking everyone to vote for BabyStan so he can be the cover boy for the K9 Kingdom. Isn't he cute? He will make a great king! You can vote for him at: http://www.myk9kingdom.com/photo-contest-2008.php So far, he's waaaaaay ahead of everydog else and we hope he stays that way!

Patches got in big trouble yesterday and again this morning. Yesterday, Mom took out some potatoes to peel for supper, but she dropped one of them on the floor. No sooner than it hit the floor, Patches ran over and grabbed it. She ran to the big bed, with it and ran around on it with the potato in her mouth. She acted like she just won the lottery! By the time Mom pried it out of her jaws of death, it was full of holes. She didn't eat any of it, but there were lots of puncture marks on it. Then, this morning, Mom put a piece of crumpled up tissue paper in the trash can under the computer. A few minutes later, Poppy dragged it out and then Patches nabbed it and took off for the bed again. I don't know what it is about her and that bed! She seems to take everything up there! Well, Mom tried to grab her everytime Patches came close enough, but it took several tries before she finally got a hold of her. That Patches is one quick doggie! Mom finally extricated most of the tissue paper from her jaws of death, but we think she swallowed one tiny piece.

That's all for today, folks! We are off to sit on a shelf and hope for a new furever home!

Aire-hugs,

Bess & Bill (oh, yeah...and Poppy, Penny & Patches too)

Greetings, all you furry and not so furry critters! It's me, Patches! I'm all fixed up now from my fix-it surgery and back to my wild and crazy ways. Remember poor Rudolph the feltie from our last post? Well, he's all back together now and pulling a sled with two Aire-pups. If you want to see him, you will have to go over to Ezzy and Jagger's bloggy . Aunt Wendy bought him from our mom so he is living with Ezzy and Jagger now.

The 3 of us girls have been watching our mom very closley these days. She has emptied one whole curio cabinet of all her bears. She cleaned the inside and outside of it and now she is trying to put some of the bears back, but there always seems to be some jaws of death lurking nearby. She sneaked all those bears into boxes when we were outside. Now they are sitting up high on one of the dressers so we can't get to them. So not fair! She's hoping to sell some of them on Ebay because she has waaaaaaaaaay too many. Besides, since she still hasn't found a job, she really needs the money to buy treats for us!

Remember when we showed you our Roomba that magically vacuums our floors? Well, our mom keeps saying she wished there was one that would wash the floor. She found it! I don't think we will be getting one, anytime soon though, since they cost $500. She will have to keep on washing the floors the old fashioned way!

Well, everybudy, I'm off to try and get the closet door open where I know there is another box of bears!

Aire-hugs,

Patches (and Poppy and Penny too)

Wheelie Wednesday...and somedogs are in big trouble!

Happy wheelie Wednesday, everybuddy! My name is Rudolph the non-wheelie! I get to do the post today because I have just come out of a very loooooong reconstructive surgery! I was created to pull a sleigh with a couple of other Aire-pups in it, but it seems that somedogs had other ideas for me. This is what our mom found right after Poppy and Patches were acting all crazy in the living room. She isn't sure which doggie is guilty, so she's blaming both of them. The only thing she knows, for sure, it that Penny wasn't involved. Those wild doggies ate off my ears, my tail, my piddler and part of my black saddle! I didn't have eyes or a nose, yet, so they didn't get those! It's a good thing Mom found me when she did or the carnage would have been even worse!

As most of you know, last Friday was Poppy's barkday. Well, our pawrents gave the girls three new stuffies...the brown moose, the red dog and the blue teddy bear. Well, already, they have had eye-ectomies and nose-ectomies and some of them are losing their stuffing. This time, Mom KNOWS who the guilty party is...it's Patches! The same doggie that didn't want anything to do with stuffies when she first entered the witness protection program! Well...now she can't get enough of them!

Poppy is all excited because Mom and Dad went to PetCo, yesterday and spent lots of their yard sale money on us! They didn't make a whole lot of money, but they got rid of a whole lot of stuff! You see, our pawrents go and buy stuff, at yard sales and then sell it on Ebay. Even though they have been doing this for several years and you would think they would know what sells and what doesn't, they still make a lot of mistakes. Everything that doesn't sell on Ebay, goes into our next yard sale. Everyone always says we have the best yard sale in the neighborhood. Well, if that's true...why don't they buy more stuff from us? Every year, on December 31, our pawrents load up the Aire-mobile and take loads of stuff to the Goodwill.

Our mom is thinking about dismanteling Patches' crate and storing it in the basement. She decided to leave it in the kitchen until after Patches recovered from her fix-it surgery, but now that she's all better, Mom is thinking, once again of putting it in the basement. The problem is...that Patches still goes in there every night when we all go to bed. Mom would like to put the bar stools back that belong there, but she can't with the big honking crate in the way. Now, our mom is thinking about leaving the quilt there and taking away the crate. I guess maybe she will think about it some more!

Remember our Bluebirds? Well, yesterday, they stopped by to say Hello! We saw them on the deck so Dad hurried up and put meal worms out for them. Well...when he opened the door, they flew away and haven't come back! We put the meal worms out, again, this morning, so we are hoping they come back for a little snack!

Well, furry friends, after 3 1/2 hours of surgery, I'm back to my normal self, but I'm very sleepy. I'm off to have a nap in a very safe place away from the jaws of death!

Aire-hugs,

Rudolph (and those other 3 P's too)

Happy Barkday to Poppy!

Hi furry friends! It's me, Poppy! Today is my 8th barkday and boy, am I going to pawty! I got peanut butter paw cookies and pupcorn! Woohoo! Of course, I have to share with those other two doggies that live here, but I guess there's enough for all of us...as long as I get more than they do.

In this picture, I'm practicing my scary eye stuff so I will be ready for Halloween. We don't pass out candy because the 3 of us go insane every time the doorbell rings and we tear up the wood floor in the foyer. However, our one little neighbor girl always shows up even though we keep our lights off. She isn't scared of us, but she usually has a friend with her and we scare the "you know what" out of HER. Heeheehee! It just makes our night!

On Wednesday, I got my barkday Aire-cut at my new, old place. They were very good to me. Their grooming table is hydraulic and it comes down to just my level so I don't have to jump up. Also, just like they promised, I was the first doggie in and the first doggie out. They worked on me constantly instead of putting me in a cage so they could work on somedog else! It was very nice!

It was NOT so nice when I got home! Just as I came in the door, Penny and Patches attacked me! Not once, but twice! Dad says it's because they thought I was some strange dog invading their home. Our mom always thought doggies used smell to figure out who somedog is, but I guess I didn't smell like my regular self either. Anyway, after a few minutes, they finally recognized me and didn't attack me anymore. It's a good thing, too, 'cause I can give as good as I get!

Tomorrow, our neighborhood is having our fall yard sale and we're hoping our pawrents get lots of dog money to buy treats for us! We are also hoping our mom finds us some good stuffies when she drives around the neighborhood to buy everyone else's junk.

Well, everybuddy, I'm off to eat some of my barkday treats and have my first nap of the morning!


Aire-hugs,

Poppy (and those other 2 doggies too!)

Wheelie Wednesday on Tuesday!

Hi everybuddy! I'm a new Irish Terrier wheelie that will be put up for auction, soon, on that Ebay kennel. I don't have a name yet, but I'll probably get one later today. We are doing Wheelie Wednesday on Tuesday, this week, because our personal secretary (aka Mom) will be too busy tomorrow.

Patches has been a baaaaaad girl! Look what she did to Clifford the big red dog! Pokey was watching her and trying to tell her to stop, but would she listen? Nope! Now Clifford has gone to the big trash can. The first thing Patches did was give him an eye-ectomy and then she pulled lots of his stuffing out. Poor Clifford! Patches tried to blame it on Pokey, but Mom knows who really did the destructomania!

Poppy still has her nose out of joint because she knows she is getting an Aire-cut for her barkday. Yesterday, she got a barkday card from PetSmart with a coupon for a free treat or toy, but our mom has to spend $15 to get it. What's up with that? Since when do you have to buy something to get your barkday present? We think that stinks!

She's hoping to get one of those cards from PetCo because we NEED to spend some money there. Our mom needs to go get us some more of that hip and joint care stuff. We're pretty sure she will also get Poppy a barkday present and some TREATS! Since I am not a real doggie, I don't need any treats, but those other three dogs are ALWAYS begging for treats...and they get way too many!

Well, everybuddy, I'm off to wait my turn for going to the Ebay kennel.

Aire-hugs,

The new wheelie (and the 3 P's too)
