Just Hanging Out

Hello Mumsie here, with Lola at my side......

We missed wheelie Wednesday yesterday...OOPS! Mumsie has been busy with her new business and getting things underway....Pawesome Pals is getting there....a little at a time! But it is time consuming and takes some dedicated effort with short marketing dollars...so I make the best of it with my own three stars...using them as my models! Whooo-hoooooo...how nice to know my babies are contributing!

Anyhow...we went to the beach recently and you won't believe how big Miss Lola is getting...She is leggy and beautiful and just a complete love. Jack-Jack got an airecut from me the other day but he looks a bit funny...naked on the top and bottom....we love you tons anyhow Jack!!! And Roy Al is just as steady and true blue as can be...He is such a good boy. Here are a few pictures....

Mumsie wanted to say thanks to Bogart...you have "carded" us and we have not posted since...thanks...we'll get it up there by tomorrow! We appreciate that.

Love and thanks to all from Cracker Jack....and the whole family. And we are sending Aireprayers to Sherry and the Tribe for good things to happen....

Love, The G-Dales and Mumsie...

We've Got A Wheelie!

Sit right down and you'll hear a tale of a crazy wheelie and 3 Airedales......

WOW! We heard a rumor that there was a wheelie looking for a place to crash in town but the wheelie had a pal....a pinkie dog.....needless to say, we dales put the word out that we were interested......Especially me, since I am pack leader here at Camp Griffindale....yep, it's Jack-Jack and I'm back in charge of the pack.

See, it started a couple of weeks ago when Sherry asked our Mumsie about a wheelie....."What would you name a wheelie if you had one at your house?" Very interesting that shortly thereafter we had a knock on our door.....

It's Roy Al here....see the two little vermin out in owur driveway....we was very suspiciousy of dem at firwst but Jack-Jack said it would be pawsitively okay cause he would make sure that noffing went awry.....

There's the pinkie dog, there's the pinkie dog!!! Can I play wiff the pinkie dog? Oh my dog, I would love to CHEW UP THAT STUFFIE!! DEETZY BOY AND BEASE WOULD BE SO PROUD OF ME!

Miss Lola Dale, pwease wet's wait and see what the story is wiff deez guys firwst okay?

Yeah, so they got closer and closer....they knocked on the door but MUMSIE WEFT IT UNLOCKED! THEY CAME WIGHT INSIDE! OH MY DOG...JACK- JACK WHAT DO WE DO?

"Here pinkie, pinkie, pinkie....I won't hurt you.....I just want to pull your stuffies out!" Hee-heee

Err, talk to them Roy Boy....they are just a wheelie and a pinkie dog.....YOU ARE THE AIREDALE! See, sometimes I have to remind you that YOU are the mighty and proud AIREDALE TERRIER...yes, you are. These visitors, they want to SEE US and BE WIFF US because we ARE AIREDALES, dude. Check it out for yourself......

So, is pawsibly twue? YOU came here to SEE US?

Well, yes, my name is GERTY and I heard from a fwiend...PACO (he's in New Mexico) that you were Wheelie fwiendly here in BOSTON. I twavelled all that way to come and see you guys.

Oh my dog...Jack-Jack was wight! Well, do you know who lives here? We are 3 Dales strong here ya know....and you better understand we ARE IN CHARGE! (ok, weally, Jack-Jack is in charge but we other dales come before wheelies just in case you were thinking differwent)

" Oh pinkie.....come see Lola Belle........pwease!"

Alwight, if you say so, we just want to hang out wiff some fun Dales and see what happens wiff you all. Are there others wike us here? Are there more wheelies?

No, no other wheelies but we have some fwiends that we hang out wiff. There's Mortimer the Moose, there's Miss Duckie, there's Bonzo the beanie Dale and many others...we even have Pooh but Jack-Jack took care of him a long time ago...Pooh is cool now, he hangs wiff us all. Go say hi....

Hey there you guys, my name is GERTY and I've come to meet you all because my friend Paco from New Mexico has told me this is a cool place to hang out. That wots of fun stuff goes on here and that these 3 AIREDALES are vewy, vewy good Dales. What's the scoop? Mortimer can you tell me about them? And Bonzo the Beanie....how have they been wiff you....after all, imitation is the gweatest compliment...you wook just wike Jack-Jack! I have been told that I wook wike Lola Belle...will she wike me?

Bonzo sayz that Lola will wike you. BUT, you must be very sweet when you go to say hello...she is a puppy dale and puppy dales can be feisty! Dis means she may want to try to taste you....yes, lick you, nibble you....you can only visit wiff Lola if the MUMSIE is around...ok? Otherwise you couwld be in grave danger. Not because Lola is mean it's just she's a puppy dale....you'll understand soon.....

Morty the Moose sayz that you will have fun here.....see hanging wiff me is very fun...we sit up here in my swing and watch those crazy dales play down on the kitchen and living room floors...we are SAFE from BITEY FACE up here. Remember, always stay safe from BITEY FACE GAMES! NUMBER ONE RULE, GERTY!

"Mr. Pinkie Dog, Lola is getting upset...you don't talk, you come to my houwse and you won't pway wiff me.....Jack-Jack, what's up wiff the pinkie.........what are we gonna do about him?"

Bonzo again.....wisten, now that you have met everyone, you must go tewll your arrival to PAco and the other wheelies... The Mumsie can hewlp you....go to her computer and wait for her.....she will help you wiff your story ok? Oh, and just you wait, those 3 AIREDALES, they are CWAZY! You will have some tales to tell on Wheelie Wednesdays..... I understand that a certain Mamma Sherry also sent you to us....that Mamma sherry knew you would bring love and fwiendship along wiff you......Well, so far, she is wight! Welcome Gerty, welcome to Camp Griffindale!

Thank you Bonzo, and thank you to everyone else too....ESPECIALLY THE 3 DALES, I can't wait to meet Lola Belle and to be good fwiends wiff everyone here. I think Gerty (oh, that's me!) is gonna wike it here! Now, where is that computer desk...got to find this Mumsie for some helwp!

Ahhhh...there you are GERTY! I heard that you were here, that you had arrived, from the Dales. I am SO very pleased to have you join our pack at Camp Griffindale.....did Mamma Sherry really send you to see me? She always knows when to send a little bit of heaven to someone, doesn't she? WE LOVE MAMMA SHERRY so very much. I promise you will have fun here with the Dales and the whole gang.....looking forward to lots of adventures!

Lola Belle, the pinkie doesn't talk, he doesn't have a mouth.....and you've scared him. He thinks you just want to rip him apart...is that true? Not all stuffies should be ripped apart.....how many times do I have to tell you that, young lady?........

Thanks for sharing Jack, we have to go for now. We look forward to getting to know Gerty and we all will play nice in the sandbox, right?

Until then......Jack- Jack is doing much better everyone....thank you for the love and prayers....

Mumsie's 1st try at airecuts....

Howdy there my Airepals and other d-o-g like-type-friends!

It's Roy Boy reporting here....thought I'd give you the low down on our Mumsie....she was all freaked out because of poor Jack-Jack. Though, since he has come home she's doing better now - though I heard her drinking something last night and explaining to Lola it was for "medicinal purposes"....Dad said she just needed a glass of wine to R-E-L-A-X !!!!!!

Anyhow, as she was getting back to 'normal' around here, she noticed that Lola and I were looking a bit scruffy I guess you could say. So.....out came the clippers. dah-da-dat-dat-dah.......

Now, I know Mumsie used to trim up her Shepherds in the summer to keep them cool but I KNOW she never gave an airedale cut before.....I was nervous but was a very good boy. I stood still and relaxed and when I thought she was gettin the hang of itpretty good, I took a nappie in her lap. She was working on my ears and it felt so good!

Anyhow....here are our pictures...of me and Lola. I think Lola was harder because she kept moving alot and wiggling around like puppies do. Oh and Lola, she did not like the buzzing in her ears at all.....she shook her head alot.... Jack-Jack did not get his airecut cause he's still healing from his boo-boos......WE LOVE YOU JACK!

Okie Dokies...let us know if we look like freaks and need to go for a long long walk to the groomers ourselves to get our cuts fixed...but ya know, I don't think they are too bad. I mean, I'm not embarassed or anything.....my butt still looks good and all......

Bye! Nose Poke Pals! Have a Pawesome Day!

Roy Al the eldest of the 3 Griffindales.....and the SMARTEST!

I think we look pretty good. You tell us how Mumsie did and if you have any helpful hints....let us know!

Poor Jack - His Naked Belly

HI EVERYONE!!!

THIS IS JACK'S VERY THANKFUL MUMSIE....THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT AND LOVE AND PRAYERS...THEY WORKED CAUSE JACK IS HOME SAFE N SOUND.

HE IS NAKED, BUT DOING BETTER. HE'S EATING BLAND DIET OF CHICKEN, RICE, COTTAGE CHEESE, YOUGURT, OATMEAL....A LITTLE APPLESAUCE AND SOON...A TASTE OF PUMPKIN (SHERR'Y SECRET).

JACK SEEMS TO BE IMPROVING EACH DAY ~ HE'S EATING REGULARLY, HE WANTS TO BE INTERACTIVE WITH THE OTHER 2 KIDS BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP HIM QUIET SO HIS INCISION/INTERNAL SUTURES CAN HEAL PROPERLY. HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF MY NAKED BOY AND HIS BELLY.

FIRST PICTURE IS WHILE HE WAS AT THE VETS, WE VISITED HIM AND TOOK HIM FOR A WALK OUTSIDE SO HE STILL HAS THE IV PORT IN HIS LEG....

HE SORT OF HAS A DOPEY FACE, HE HAD LOTS OF PAIN MEDICINE IN HIM THEN.

JACK IS RESTING IN THE LIVINGROOM ON HIS NEW BED. HE SLEEPS DOWNSTAIRS IN A KENNEL BECAUSE HE CANNOT CLIMB THE 25 STEPS TO OUR UPSTAIRS/BEDROOMS YET.

SEE HIS LOVELY RING AROUND THE ANKLE? THAT WILL TAKE A YEAR TO GROW OUT AND BLEND IN AGAIN....A CONSTANT REMINDER FOR OUR FAMILY TO EXERCISE CAUTION!!!!

LOLA HAS BEEN VERY 'OUT OF SORTS' SINCE THIS HAPPENED TO JACK - SHE IS VERY ATTACHED TO HER PACK LEADER. SHE ALWAYS STAYS WITHIN A FEW FEET OF JACK TO WATCH HIM AND BE CLOSE. SHE CRIES IF SHE CAN'T SEE HIM AND THAT HE IS OK....HOW SWEET IS THAT?

AND THERE IT IS...THE NASTY INCISION THEY HAD TO MAKE IN OUR BOY'S BELLY TO GET THAT 3" PIECE OF CORN COB OUT. BEWARE THE COBS! THEY NEVER, EVER DIGEST AND MY VET HAS REMOVED 7 FROM VARIOUS SIZE DOGS THIS SUMMER ALONE. THEY ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND IT IS VERY SCARY TO GO THROUGH THIS....PLEASE NOBODY LEAVE CORN COBS AROUND WHERE YOU BABY'S CAN GET THEM! IT TOOK JACK ABOUT 3 AND 1/2 SECONDS TO GET THE PIECE HE GRABBED FROM THE KITCHEN FLOOR DOWN HIS THROAT. I'LL NEVER TAKE FOR GRANTED THAT MY FUR KIDS WILL BE SAFE IF THEY ARE SITTING IN MY LIVING ROOM WHILE WE CLEAN UP FROM A MEAL IN THE KITCHEN......FROM NOW ON...THEY WILL ALWAYS IN THE MUD ROOM!!!!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE AND PRAYERS! NOSE POKES AND LICKY-LICKS FROM JACK HIMSELF..... AND HUGS AND THANKS FROM OUR ENTIRE GRIFFINDALE FAMILY!

HE'S HOME! HE'S HOME!

HE'S HOME!!!!

THANK YOU FOR THE AIREPRAYERS......WE JUST NEED TO KEEP HIM EATING AND GET HIM HEALTHY AGAIN.

HE'S HOME!!!!!!!!!

WE ARE SO HAPPY! I WILL POST SOME PICTURES LATER......JACK HAS A NAKED - YES, I MEAN NAKED - BELLY!

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE GOOD AIRE KARMA AND LOTS OF AIRELOVE AND LOTS OF CROSSED PAWS! WE LOVE YOU SO!

PICCIES TO COME LATER TONIGHT.....LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Emergency!

VERY SAD NEWS ALL MY AIREFRIENDS......



JACK-JACK ATE A PIECE OF A CORN COB THURSDAY NIGHT AND IS IN THE DAWGGIE HOSPITAL. HE HAD TO HAVE SURGERY TO REMOVE IT FROM HIS TUMMY. HE HAS MADE IT THROUGH OK AND IS RECOVERING.

THE DOCTOR CALLED TODAY TO SAY THAT JACK LOOKS OK BUT HAS NOT HAD ANY INTEREST IN FOOD YET. THIS IS A BIT OF A BUMMER - WE WERE HOPING TO BRING JACK HOME TODAY. PLEASE KEEP UP THOSE AIREPRAYERS ON JACK'S BEHALF...WE NEED HIM HOME SAFE AND SOUND!



MUMSIE IS VERY SAD AND VERY UPSET.....AND SO ARE WE....NO JACK-JACK AT HOME WIFF US.....

THANK YOU EVERYDOG AND HOOMAN FOR THE LOVE AND SUPPORT....WE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN JACK-JACK IS HOME WIFF US!!!!
