Clairedale's arrival has been delayed. Boooooo!

Well, we thought Claire-dale would be arriving tomorrow, but her current foster mom is in the hospital with pneumonia. I guess the transport will have to take place NEXT weekend! We HOPE! We sure hope Molly gets all better really soon!

CLAIRE-DALE IS ON HER WAY

Ezzy, Jagger , Mom and Dad will be fostering a Airedale named Claire-dale. She is on her way from Tennessee and will arrive Saturday. Claire-dale has had a history of service. When Claire wandered away from her home, her owners didn't bother to go looking for her. She strolled down the street and hung around a rehab center for teens. And there Claire stayed for more than a year, giving the teens someone to hug and hold on to. Unfortunately, the kids thanked her with many, many snacks and so Claire became a bit hefty. Recently Claire found her way to Airedale Rescure Group. We heard Claire is a lively, funny girl who enjoys pets and affection. I'm sure she will be remembered by many a teen who found comfort hugging her curly coat. Photos will be on the blog this week-end . Stay Tuned.....

HOW TO PREPARE FOR A PUPPY

My girlfriend Barbara emailed this to me and I had to share. Makes you want to go out and get a puppy?
How to prepare for a puppy - 12 Easy Steps1. Pour cold apple juice on the carpet in several places and walk around barefoot in the dark.2. Wear a sock to work that has had the toes shredded by a blender.3. Immediately upon waking, stand outside in the rain and dark saying, "Be a good puppy, go potty now - hurry up - come on, lets go!"4. Cover all your best suits with dog hair. Dark suits must use white hair and lightsuits must use dark hair. Also float some hair in your first cup of coffee in the morning.5. Play "catch" with a wet tennis ball.6. Run out in the snow in your bare feet to close the gate.7. Tip over a basket of clean laundry, scatter clothing all over the floor.8. Leave your underwear on the living room floor, because that's where the dog will drag it anyway. (Especially when you have company.)9. Jump out of your chair shortly before the end of your favorite TV program and run to the door shouting, "No no! Do that OUTSIDE!" Miss the end of the program.10. Put chocolate pudding on the carpet in the morning, and don't try to clean it up until you return from work that evening.11. Gouge the leg of the dining room table several times with a screwdriver - it's going to get chewed on anyway.12. Take a warm and cuddly blanket out of the dryer and immediately wrap it around yourself. This is the feeling you will get when your puppy falls asleep on your lap.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY

Mom and Dad worked in the garden all day and I decided to go on a ride on my Ducati.
