We are SO LUCKY!
Just after we got that great package from Murphy the postman brought us ANOTHER box!!!

This one came from our good pals Jake and Fergi in Colorado! You MUST visit their blog if you haven't, they are some special dogs with very special peoples!

As soon as I opened it I saw FOOTBALLS!! My faves!

This blanket was for ME! It is the softest blanket I have ever felt in my life!!

I was having a moment of utter bliss here for a minute...

Then of course Tanner came in and was freaking out because he was smelling our pals!!

Also in the box was this cute little Boston Terrier. Jake and Ferg's Mom found this a while ago and it reminded her of us, so she sent it. How nice is that?! Mom put it on her mail organizer, which is one of her favorite things. He is guarding all her mail and other random stuff she keeps in here. She can see him from her desk and she loves it! Mom said that we couldn't chew on that guy, but go take a look at the table...

What is up there?!?!?!

Doggie Treats!! This box is so cool, but check out what is in it...

Peanut Butter treats and the recipe. Mom loves to cook, she even has her own cooking blog, so she better make us more of these, they smell amazing!!

There was also a pawesome football stuffy. Mom hasn't given it to us yet, she said we can have it tomorrow. We have to get a video to show Jake and Fergi how fast we can kill it!!

And, never fear, Tanner got his very own super soft football blanket too. He put it on Mom's new "Fainting Couch". I think we need to invite Archie over to try it out! (mom put that black blanket on the bottom of her new couch so we don't 'mess it up', WHATEVER!!)
And if that is not enough, check out this pawesome gift bag!! SO cool!!

Thank you SO MUCH Jake and Fergi, we love everything!! You guys are the best!!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

YES this rules!!
I am kind of over the couch thing, maybe. BUT it doesn't matter because today the postman brought me a box...

It said something about a duck on it, but it didn't smell like a duck, it smelled AMAZING.

It was my present from Murphy Dogg for my Yankees beating his Phillies! THANKS DUDE.
Check out we got Merrick Texas Taffy and a GIANT BONE. The letter also said I don't have to share with Tanner since he likes the AZ Diamondbacks and they sucked a big one last year. BUT since that is also Mom's favorite team I am guessing I will be sharing these with Tanner.

HOLY CRAP and look at those. PIZZA! FOOTBALLS!! PRETZELS! I am so set for the Steelers game on Sunday.
and best of all...

The Murphy Cookies! That is him on the bag! These things are so good, we ordered some before. If you want to order some, check out his website. You can also get pawesome shirts like this one...

Yep, you betcha, that is me!!

And I am proud of it!!!
THANKS MURPHY that was the best gift ever. Well, second best to my Yankees winning the WORLD SERIES!! WOO!!

Joey is a DRAMA QUEEN!!
omdog guys it is TAN TORKELSON friend to CATS and um all other animals. Except bees, man those things FREAK ME OUT! LOL
Anyway, you can see that Joey is a total FREAK OUT DOG and gets so emotional about EVERYTHING. I have to say that the Amsterdam place is NOT just cats all over attacking humans and stealing their foods.
I mean, just look what Mom found there...

Its a little wheeless wheely stuffy guy that looks like our WFT friends!! That dog there is probably sending wirey vibes to Snickers RIGHT NOW!
Also, look at this...

This place is a Taco place and you call them and say, HELLO I WOULD LIKE SOME TACOS PLEASE. so then they get on those scooters and BRING YOU THE TACOS!! TACO DELIVERY!? A place CANNOT be bad if it has Taco Delivery!!
Finally, Joey is madderest because MOm threw out the other green couch we had because SHE said that Joey and I totally ruined it. This made Joey VERY MAD because that is the couch he sat on to watch out the door and yell at those kids going to the school by our house. BUT look at this...

With the OTHER couch moved here under the window, we have a GREAT view. So it worked out FINE but Joey still pouted about losing that other stupid couch!!
Joey is a big baby and I want all my CAT friends to know that I like CATS, BUT not in my house, OK MOM!?

CATastrophe!
So you may remember that my humans went to that Amsterdam place last year for their honeymoon, and while they were there, Mom took THIS picture...

That bar in Amsterdam had a CAT and it SAT on my DAD. The cat can be in there, but the sign on the door says NO DOGS. Well, what a bunch of crap right?? So they go back to that bar last week and look what happens...

That CAT totally remembered my Dad!! WTF?!

OMDOG!?! My Dad did not listen when I yelled at him about this LAST time and he pet that cat AGAIN and let it sit on him. I was furious. But oh dear readers, you won't even believe what my Mom did. Oh boy, hold on to your collars friends...

WTF?! There is a CAT on her LAP while she is eating!!! I am not even allowed to put my paws on the humans when they are eating and this CAT gets to sit on her LAP? Amsterdam is clearly a place filled with sin and depravity to allow such things to happen.
But then, this video made my brain completely explode. I don't remember the last time I was so mad...
OMDOG!!!!!!!!!! The CAT was ON THE TABLE. ON THE FRICKIN TABLE. I am hiding Mom and Dad's passports and never letting them go back there EVER AGAIN. Mom said the kitty was just SO CUTE and she didn't mind it finishing her crumbs. HELLO, I AM THE CUTEST THING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN and can you guess how many times I have been allowed to climb on the table and eat crumbs???

So then it goes right on over to Dad and asks for some fries!!

I am hoping beyond hope that in this picture Dad is telling that BAD BAD KITTY that it better never come around him and my Mom ever again or Joe Stains will totally pee on it!!!
AND THE STEELERS LOST. *sob*

Scenery before the big story...
Well, we all banded together yesterday to send our vibes to Miss Snickers and we are still hoping it sticks and she continues to improve. We know you can do it Miss Snickers!!
Since we have been kind of stressed thinking about our friend, we thought we would share some scenery photos from Mom and Dad's trip. This is the part of the trip that I liked, there is another part you will see that will make your head explode. Seriously, it is THAT bad. Lets just say I am currently not speaking to either one of them.

Mom was very excited to see fall leaves, as we don't get those here in Arizona.

Mom ate these things called Croquettes and she said they were stuffed with meaty goodness. I sure would love some of those right about now.

They saw lots of old churches and buildings.

They ate pancakes that were as big as me, look at those things!!

They saw bikes full of CHEESE! omdog!!

They also drank lots of delicious beers they can't get here in the US.

and took LOTS of dorky pictures.

There is so much neat architecture there, and lots of water.


Looks like a FABULOUS place right...well, don't be so sure...here is a hint of what is to come...

Ok I am off to watch my Steelers!!!

Just in time...
We are BACK and thank dog just in time to help get the word out for our good friend Miss Snickers...
She is not well and we need to all get together and have a moment of major vibe sending for her...
Her blog is here if you haven't met her before.

Here is the info...
"We are asking everyone to set your alarms and at exactly 11:00 PM GMT on Saturday 14 Nov 09. 5:00 PM Saturday evening in Iowa as Snickers' family sits down to eat turn toward them (in the central USA) and join together in a silent minute of prayer, meditation, contemplation, reflection... Whatever feels right to you.
Followed by whatever means of communication you choose.
Arrooing
Barking
Howling
Yipping
Yapping
Wooing
Meowing
Mewing
Purring
To wish and send Miss Snickers and her family whatever is in your hearts that will help them feel the Love and Support they need right now."
THEN!!!
Blow a kiss and send your Love and Prayers and Best Wishes to Miss Snickers and her Family and they will feel their arrival in the breeze.

I am already pointed that way and sending vibes, I figure it is never too early to start.
I will update on Mom and Dad's trip later, this needs to happen NOW FOLKS. So spread the word!!
