An amazing smelling package came in the mail today. I was buzzing about in worse than my usual senile fog, because I had a LIST of things to do before my trip. Any time that I am so panicked I have a LIST, I am way far gone.
So this wonderful package came and the return address said
"MAGGIE AND MITCH AND THEIR MOM"
and I just put it in my brain that it was a birthday present for Mama Pajama and Fat Charlie.
I took just the two of them into the living room and foyer areas to open the goodies.
Fat Charlie studied the address, and said, "Yeah, that's the ticket! This whole box is addressed to me! Oh, yes and my sissie Mama, too." (If you click to enlarge the photo, you will see the address says "and the whippets" and nowhere but my fanciful brain were Fat Charlie and Mama Pajama singled out.)
"Never mind the card, oh Senile One! We'll read it." (The card says "Our Whippet Buddies" not for Fat Charlie and Mama Pajama only.)
"Look, it's all from our dear sweet Airedale friends, Maggie and Mitch!! See this beautiful card? Yup it says everything is JUST for me.. er, us! la la la, la dee dah!" (I swear if Mama Pajama could have whistled an innocent, carefree tune, she would have.)
And the box was truly bursting with the most wonderful of wonderfulness, the likes of which the Waggle has never seen!
Fat Charlie got his treat on one couch...
And Mama Pajama got hers on the other.
WHAT ABOUT US??????? WE SAW THAT BOX AND IT SAID WHIPPETS, PLURAL.
Now I, the humble senile servant started counting the goodies, and got to nine, and realized this was for sharing. I read the sweet card, and it said the treats were for
Giacomino
Maria
Fat Charlie and Mama Pajama who were already chewing theirs like maniacs.
Luciano, "No Cow noses for me, please! That's barbaric!!! I'm a little special, and oh dear, oh my!"
Ahhh! That's better. A little Texas jerky for me!
Sweet Delia
Sam I Am
Swede William
And Lindy Loo.
The dogs are pictured in their messy beds in our bedroom. I feared distributing such a wealth of yumminess on the loose, as such heights of ecstacy mght have evolved into quarrels, so instead of getting the usual bedtime biscuits, they got Moo Tubes and More!
What a generous wonderful kind thing of Maggie and Mitch to do! [The Dogs with Blogs gang held a huge International Goodie exchange recently. I did not sign up the waggle because there are just so many of them, and I didn't think it would be fair. So Maggie and Mitch sent the whippets this HUGE present anyway!!! How sweet is that!!!]
We can never thank you enough, and this is a bed time we will always remember forever! There is also an orange rubbery frisbee and ball in one which squeaks!!! Oh I can't wait to see the young'uns playing with that!
That was such a nice nice nice thing you did but we're not surprised that you did it because your are the nice nice nicest Dales EVER!!!
Thank you from all the whippets and Patience , their humble, grateful servant.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great package to receive.
ReplyDeleteMaggie and Mitch are the bestest, even if they are not WFTs! Have a great trip. Have the replacement servant call if he needs more dogs. I will send my two along.

Wow it must have been very quiet in your house with all the whippets quietly gnawing!
ReplyDeleteHA!! It was LOUD!!! Chomp chomp chomp crunch yumm yumm yumm!!!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking no one got any sleep with all that crunching and slurping going on! Lisa
ReplyDeleteOooo those look like good goodies in a box! And Wow you have nine doggies in your house? I have five brothers and sisters and we have Tony a foster brother now too, so we have seven dogs here and it's packed! We hope Tony will get a good home soon, but I like him he sometimes plays with me. :)
ReplyDeleteI like your greyhound friends can I come play?
That was so nice of Maggie & Mitch! We have to chew our rawhides separately too so there isn't a riot. Nice to celebrate birthdays for days!!
ReplyDeletelove & wags,

What a nice gift. It is always a wonderful surprise to get packages in the mail. So glad the senile one finally figured out that all of you were to get something.
ReplyDeleteWe love Maggie and Mitch. We know that, until you met all of us "hairy dogs" - dales and foxies in particular - you whippets were a litle uncertain about the likes of us.
ReplyDeleteBut now you know what kind and generous creatures lurk underneath all that fur -- especially the likes of Maggie and Mitch -- your opinion may have changed.
We loved the "What about us?" photo!! Priceless.
Patience, have a wonderful trip -- we will all be anticipating dogalicious photos.
Lots of love!! Be safe. Have fun!! Be inspired!!
Jake and Just Harry and their Mom

ReplyDeleteYeaaaaaaaaaa, we're glad the package made it there before you left, Patience! Enjoy the treats guys!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are pretty darn special to us too, ya know!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Wow! Thats loads of nice stuff from M&M. It isn't easy to get pressies for all 9 whippets in 1 package.
