Wordless Wednesday with Winnie in the washbasket!

Run free Maggie

We are feeling so sad.

Our friend Maggie made the journey to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday.

A very special Airegirl.

We will miss you so much.

Run free Maggie.

Happy Birthday to me!

I am 4 years old today.

I was so excited this morning I rushed out into the garden and did some zoomies.

When I came back indoors I found a lovely fluffy new bed in the kitchen. Just for me!

I do like to have a good selection of day beds.

As it is my 4th birthday I made plans last week to have a party.

I ordered my favourite treats.

Gravy bones, beef flavour.

Do you think I ordered too much?

Now my plans have all gone wrong.

Molly has disappeared.

She went off at the beginning of the week to join in the pre Mango Minster fun.

She boarded a plane with the other contestants and flew off to goodness knows where!

Can't believe she sat next to a cat!

It wasn't long before it all went pear shaped. Something went wrong with the plane and Molly grabbed the nearest tool kit and started what seem to be major repairs.

I suppose I should be grateful that she remembered to pack her hard hat in case of emergencies.

The latest update from the plane isn't too encouraging...

She'd better turn up for my party, I will be so cross otherwise!

Just had to try one of my party biscuits to check they are OK.

Licked my lips, well I don't want crumbs on my face when I have my photo taken.

Hurry back Molly so the party can start.

Oh am I mad or what? I type in pink and blogger keeps changing the colour! GRRRRRRRRRRR

Winnie.

A surprise package.

This pretty girl is our friend Betty Boo.

Her Mummy makes her delicious biscuits and last week they made some for us too.

A package arrived Saturday morning. We mugged the postman and rushed indoors to open it.
It was very carefully packed and inside there were three smaller packages.

The smell was utterly divine.

Apparently they are made from stoneground wholemeal flour, honey, dried skimmed milk, a touch of garlic, eggs and butter.

There were some big bone shaped biscuits.

Some smaller shaped bones

And four Terrier shaped biscuits.

Now the following photos are a bit blurry.

You have to understand that when food is involved we don't dilly dally, we move!

Taffy bit his biscuit in half and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Molly practically swallowed her biscuit whole and then hoovered up the crumbs.

Monty savoured his, enjoying every mouthful

Winnie chewed hers

making sure she left no crumbs

.

Thank you so much Betty Boo for sending us such yummylicious biscuits.

Airezen needed for Deetz.

Our friend Deetz
had a very nasty accident last weekend.

A horse "pawed" him straight down his spine with it's hoof,
A golf ball sized lump appeared on Deetz's left side, close to his spine which grew to the size of a melon. It was a lump that was raised about an inch high and went from his lower left side all the way over his spine to his right side.
Poor Deetz had a haematoma. ( A large bruise that was blood filled.)
The blood had nowhere to go, his vet said if he didn’t drain it, it could burst or it could also get infected.

Deetz had to stay in hospital for 2 days. He had tubes coming out of his back to drain all the fluid.

When he came home he still had the tubes in to allow any remaining fluid to drain out.

He is feeling a lot better now but we are sure he would appreciate some airezen to help him heal quickly.

Get well soon Deetz.

Our visit to New York.

Last October our "flat selves" went to NY.

We set out early in the morning to catch a plane from London to NY and by the time we arrived it was night time and raining..

Our wonderful friend Asta had invited us to stay in her apartment while she took her pawrents on a trip.

After a good nights rest we thought it would be great to go exploring.

When we looked out of the window we saw it was still raining and groaned.

It was then I realised how high up we were!

I just couldn't look down, it was so scary!

I left Molly, Monty and Taffy enjoying the views over the River Hudson and had a sniff around.

I am an inquisitive girl.

Pawtinis...........Oh lovely.

Am I allowed one of these I wonder?

Now here's one good looking fellow!

This must be one of Asta's dresses, she has such style.

After a while I thought I would have a snooze and turned round to see Flat George drinking tea.

Looking very comfortable sitting in an armchair.

He certainly made himself feel at home.

I didn't even know he was coming on the trip!

We decided to stay in the apartment and I suggested we had a dinner party, just like the fantastic parties Asta organises. She really is the hostess with the mostest.

We didn't have much food so we made a list of things we needed and

sent Taffy out in a taxi to bring in the goodies.

He never did tell us what he did with the driver or why he went via the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square!

Then came back in a lorry.

The list wasn't that big that he needed to upgrade the vehicle.

The weather was brilliant for the rest of our stay.

We saw a variety of animals...

Some very cheeky squirrels

A lonely Turkey in Battery Park, we wonder if it made it past Thanksgiving?

Even saw a mouse!

Then we went on a trip to Boston.

We met Agatha and Archie!

It was so exciting.

I don't think they could believe their eyes at first when they saw us.

They took us on a tour of Boston but sadly we didn't have time to see their favourite place the Arboretum.

We were invited back to their home. Had a really scrummy meal and posed for tons of photos.

They were so good.

We had an absolutely brilliant day with them and their hoomans.

Thanks ever so much Agatha and Archie for being such excellent hosts.

We spent time on the rooftop of Asta's apartment.

There were some fantastic views from the top.

We could see the Empire State Building.

We were disappointed Asta was not at her home to entertain us.

She was staying with her brother Duffy, so we called her to ask if we could pop over and visit them.

We took them a little present each. Orange for Asta because that is her favourite colour and a blue one for Duffy.

They were so excited.

Asta said thank you very much

before running after Duffy and trying to grab his blue ball.

They played tug for ages. We thought it was so funny that Duffy was standing on the sofa.

Time for posing for photos.

Duffy took quite a shine to George.

Didn't we look smart?

Asta tried to clean George and me!

Asta and Duffy took us on a lovely walk to Washington Square.

A most interesting place indeed!

Friends were greeted.

We enjoyed spending time pretending we were New Yorkers.

After a fantastic afternoon we had to say goodbye and walk back to the apartment.

In Greenwich Village we met Dudley, the Airedale.

Molly thought he was very handsome.

Apparently he is very well trained and knows how to cross roads and stay safe.

While we were visiting Asta at Duffy's home we arranged for Asta to come home early so we could spend some time with her and she could surprise her Mommi and Daddi when they returned from their trip.

We played ball and ran up and down the lovely long hallway.

It was such a good time.

This weekend Asta and her Mommi and Daddi are embarking on a great new adventure.

They are leaving New York and flying a long, long way.

We wish them a very safe journey and every happiness in their new home.
