We've had babies!

Hi all

We've a very special xmas surprise...

 

Meet Mr Tweet.

He arrived Christmas Eve with a big white box with little windows up the top...

The house was instantly filled with VERY interesting smells and I could not help myself but hoover around the house and get my schnozzie as close as possible to the little mate and his box.

The story is that Auntie Ange has a hobby farm and needed somedoggie to baby sit the brood while they went away on holidays.

ME! I'll babysit the duck!

Mmmmhhhh, duckie, come here...I will take care of you...

Oh, you smell so good....I bet you are real tasty too...

Oops, did I say that?

Ehem, no, of course not, I wouldn't hurt the little fellah... noooooooo.....

Anyway, the agreement was that if the duckie got hurt, I would get hurt so I play the game...

So anyway, it was Christmas Day and #2 arrived...

Needless to say, we called him Jesus.

There was a whole bunch of noise coming out of the special white box and before we knew it more people started to hatch. No wonder they were calling so loud. Someone had locked them inside a bunch of stinky eggs and covered them in smelly goop so they couldn't move...

How cruel, I would scream and peck until they got me out of there, too...

I tell ya what: These little fellahs have been keeping me up ALL night, for quite a few nights in a row.

You should smell the smell...it's just sooooo good...How can you sleep with that in the next room?

So I am up ALL night and when I am up with a special project on my mind ( I am just too dedicated, can't help it), nobody in the house gets any sleep. That's just how it goes. Only fair...

Finally, we had seven Tweeties all up and apparently they require a bit of upkeep - and you thought Airedales did, tseh...

See the nice clean sheets they have in their crate there?

Well, it doesn't take seven duckies long to make a complete mess of it...

So out they come and get put into another box (let me help)...

...while the maid cleans up their mess (I'll watch the duckies)...

Then they have another feed and the whole process starts over again...

Anyway, we all fell in love with the duckies and will miss them terribly (luckily, the smell will linger a little bit longer) ...

Did you win?

Hi all, it's Molly here again...

 

Yes, yes, we're behind with EVERYTHING and I do owe you some more winner announcements...

Note how I got dressed for the occasion just to prove to you all how important this is to me...

I've had some help from the Stinky Pups with deciding whom to gift...

Just to jog your memory, we've had a mega giveaway with 5 special prizes.

Little Mollie scored my birthday surprise special prize.

Baby Rocket Dog and Hootie's mum hashed our 100th post special prize.

Further, we'd like to announce that our true pal George snappled up Inky's Return of the Fourth Leggie special prize.

The Spring (that's how far behind we are) special prize goes to.....damtadam... Bocci!

And our special prize for signing our guest book goes to our dear pals Duke & Zena.

Can all winners #3- #5 please make contact so we have your current mailing address.

We also just saw that Mr Pip became follower #100 so please be in touch and we can shoot you something spesh, Mr Pip.

Hang on....the Inky Pups is mumbling something in her beard....

Aha....

Since we've had so many entries and new pals singing up and given it's almost Christmas now, she thinks it'd be most appropriate to give away another giveaway. I'll let her announce that in the next post then.

Anyone who would like an Inky and Molly xmas card, please send your address to airemail at mollecreative dot com!!!


Lot's of love,
MOLLY

Barkfest in the rain

I tell you what, we had a ball!


It was BUCKETING down. All day. The whole time. Non-stop. Lots and lots of rain.

Perfect day for a picnic, I say!


Let's go... Got your gumboots peeps?

My grandparents from the tropical land of Germania are here at the moment so here they are with the first lot of out-of-towners who battled the elements and drove over two hours to make the day perfect.

Here we are with Mink and Emma and their peeps.

Down by the Barwon river is actually quite a nice spot for and picnic...

Anyway, once we yapped for a while, everydoggie else arrived and it was time to get rid of some beans (if you know what I mean) and go for a walk - in the rain of course!

There are NO photos of that bit - funny that.

Once we got back to shelter, it was time for munchies. There are 10 of us Dales & families here now.

And then some fund-raising activities...

Raffle tickets anyone?

We had stacks of prizes and all proceeds went to Airedale Rescue.

 

And not just the pinkies scored...

We even scored some xmas hampers that one special fairy had lovingly prepared ...

See what the certificates say?

One says, well done Inky Pups for not chasing too many cats - ha!

We truly did have a great day and didn't mind the weather one bit. All that rain made it even more special, people driving great distances and spending lots of hours preparing the raffle prizes...what a fantastic lot you are!

See you all again soon.

Love,
MOLLY
