Oh Eric! What A Wonderful Surprise!

Click on top collage to biggify. The bottom one doesn't want to cooperate though. Sorry.


Today Hootie and I had the best surprise. Quelle surprise! We received a package from across the pond from our buddy Eric Square Dog. It was full of the most marvelous pressies! We don't usually get presents in the mail, so this was a big deal for us. You might recall that in January when we drove down to Phoenix from Idaho Hootie had made "the great escape" at a pit stop in Rocker, Montana and lost his rabies tag and also his Welsh flag ID tag. Well guess what one of the pressies was from Eric? Yup, a brand new Welsh ID tag engraved with Hootie's name and our phone#. Hootie also got a cool new camo collar by DogzTogz and a Welsh neck kerchief. Mommy said she wants to wear the Welsh neck kerchief because it is so lovely. (Hootie said he'll think about it.) I got a nifty pink kerchief with daisies and words all over it and the most fabulous new collar. You know how I love collars. This one is a beaut! ANd it has a big pink daisy on it with MY name and phone# on it too! Soooo special. As soon as we opened the package we found a note written by Eric on this big WFT post card. (I hope you can see it in our collage above.) There was a nice big squeaky toy by Cruft's that looks just like an award and it says "Cruft's Best In Show" on it. Hootie immediately took the award, because he thinks he's such a great specimen of a Welsh Terrier. BOL! I'm sure the award was really meant for me but I'll allow him his fantasies. We've both already enjoyed chewing on it. Eric (& possibly his mommy!!) even thought of our mommy and sent her some real English toffee and a WFT luggage tag. We don't have words to express how tickled we all are with such excellent pressies. So, thank you Eric and your mommy too for being so thoughtful. We just love all the great stuff!!


Lots of Aire & WelshieSmooches,

Baby Rocket Dog & Hootie the Award Winning Show Dog

Eric and his SquareMom (AND Otis and all the wheelies - though we know he won't admit it) are just the BEST! What a perfect parcel of pressies! It's pretty clear that you are pretty special dogs in their eyes ... they don't want to have any risk of you being unidentifiable if either of you makes another great escape. Personalized collars! And individualized ones to match your different personalities! Along with coordinating kerchiefs. We can just imagine your pride on your walkies! You so deserve it.

Enjoy! (And understand if your moma chooses not to share the toffee.)

Love ya bunches
Jake and Fergi xxoo

Eric said...

Aw pals, I'm all pinkie and embarrased now, what a kid blog and what a super doooper sight seeing you two and the leggeds enjoying it. I was like a dog with two tails looking at your photo's. Me (ok and maybe Mom) had a ball getting it all for you. Now BR be careful when you go to that town where all the hippies went. You might get thrown out with your hippy gear on!!

Wiry loves and kisses, Eric xxxx

Wow, your new toy sounds like fun. Y'all are after all best in show. I did get your wonderful pressies, but Mommy said next week we are going to write about them. They smell so good. I thought it was you, Hootie. I wanted you to come out of the package. I know your new welsh tag will just be smashing. It wasn't good for you to try to escape on your trip, but I am glad you returned.

Collars to dogs are like shoes to female humans--you can't have too many!

What cooooooool pressies you got, you lucky kids! I hope daddy *ahem* I mean, Hootie doesn't lose the nice Welshie tag again..hehe. That is soooo cool that you got the Crufts crown without having to go through what those show dogs have to put up with!

About your question re. stripping, yes, any normal coated Airedales (and Welshies too) can be stripped anytime to bring back the colouring and texture even after being clipped for all their lives. I, Miss Sunshade along with Noah of the Leuredales, as well as Gracie (Rubydale's daughter) are NOT normal coated. We have what they called a "sheep coat", meaning we're ALL undercoat, no wire coat whatsoever. These coats are very painful to strip, and the colours and texture don't really come in. We all have the same charcoal and cream colouring with dark ears that don't go away even after we have matured!! It's apparently a recessive gene (sort of like the long hair shepherds out of two short hair parents), and breeders don't like sheep coats as that's not what the standard calls for. Mum loves the sheep coats on the other hand!

Love nibbles,
Miss Sunshade
