Helping Mummy and a Game

Hi Everydoggie!

It's been a long time since I blobbed! We have been pretty busy helping Mummy around the house!

Doing the washing ...



unwrapping the shopping ...



although I think I'll keep this ...



Mmmmmm ... nice and cozy



And we helped look after our guest by taking him on our walks nice and early every morning ... Mummy said we were the perfect hosts. He brought us a present all the way from Germany ... a big bag of Walnuts - we LOVE cracking nuts! Thanks Martin!

One day when we were playing he started barking!!! I got pretty excited "Great!!! ... You speak dog?!" and immediately tried to play 'Biteyface' with him but it turns out that wasn't what he said ...



and when the coffee machine came back from being repaired we excelled at dealing with the packaging! At first I watched how Finni did it ...



but I soon got the hang of it. The noise in the background is Dad making a cappuccino for Mum.



Hehe, we got sticky tape all over our furnishings and tummies but it was worth it.

But it wasn't all work for us. We got to play as well ... Hide and Seek.
See if you can spot who is hiding behind the tree ...





Have you got it?

See you soon!

Girl talk

Hi Every doggie!

It was my first Birthday last Sunday and after our morning walk with special snackies - cooked chicken!!! yummy!!! I was sooo good! - I got some lovely presents. Finni helped me unwrap them. He is very good at unwrapping! (please turn the sound down when watching the videos - we live on a busy road and the camera loves to pick up all the traffic noise)

I like the ball thingy but I LOVE the girl toy - I'm calling her Girlgirl. She has the most marvelous squeak. Mummy says she sounds like Olive Oyl from Popeye! She is my favourite toy now and Finni wants her too!

Today we went to the Airedale walk in Bingley near the river Aire where our breed originated from. There were lots of doggies there including my litter brother Archie. You can see our photos on Finni's Blob. I also met Monty there ... sigh ... he was quite mature but very nice!

And then there was Reggie ... sigh ... he was soo nice He's the one on the left!



and Trevor! Mummy hasn't got a picture of him but he was sooo nice.

Anyway we got filmed on our walk and might be on Telly! Mummy got interviewed as well but hopes the chappie won't use her comments as she grinned like a Cheshire cat all the time and couldn't think of anything to say, hehe, though she mentioned Airedale Bloggers! It'll be on the Telly tomorrow we think on some Yorkshire channel.
So you know what we'll be doing tomorrow don't you. I wonder if Dad is going to let Mummy have the handset ...

A duett, two new collars and three awards

Hi every doggie,

Well, it did stop raining eventually and today Finni and I were playing in the garden when we heard some tantalizing sounds, which got us in the mood for a little singsong. Finni is a very experienced singer. He gets into the proper pose ...

and then he sings in his two-tone voice.

That was fun!

Can you see that we are both wearing new collars? Mine is orange with multi-coloured dots and Finni's is black with neon paws and bones. Mummy ordered them of ebay and they came today. She got the orange one for me because it reminded her of my Kennel name ..... Shadlian Hot and Spicy. Finni says I'm a spice girl, hehe.

What do you think Bro'? ... Erm ... Is that my chewie you're chewing?

A little while back Maggie and Mitch gave Finni and me this beautiful award ...

Thank you so much Maggie and Mitch

"When accepting this award, you must blog about the food you have stolen when your humans were not watching. If you have never stolen any food, you must have been a really good pup! You can accept this yummy tray of cookies as your reward! Next add the logo of this award to your blog (optional), then nominate at least 5 other furry blogs and let them know by leaving a message on their blogs."

In our house ... blush ... I'm the counter surfer, especially after my dinner - I'm only checking that Mummy hasn't left anything lying about! It might go off!!! And then I check Finni's bowl to make sure it's nice and clean ...
I used to steal food from the counter regularly but Mummy got wise to it now ... Oh yeah, I also pinch things of baking trays ... before they're cooked ...

Yummy!

Enjoy our singsong.
