Team Work...Airedale's Rule in my house.


Hi friends!  This is me and my teddy.  He is kind of like my security blankie ( ok I have one of those too).  Pilar and I had a rough go and playing with her and she sploded!  But don't worry the sewing kit was taken out quick and fixed by my loving humans.  I love them soooo much!






Ok here in Michigan, and George can back me on this, the weather has been crazy!!!  It is hot then cold then hot then cold.  Well this was a hot day... and Pilar had on her sweater.  She DEMANDED that I take it off of her.  So being the good and talented dale that I am I did.  I couldn't let my sister be hot....that would be just down right mean of me!






Well here it is...... the "sweater" you know the one.  Yep the one that Ally made her wear for the photo shoot with the pearls.  She was asking me to hide it or get rid of it.  I had to think long and hard about what needed to be done with this winter garb.  I was trying to think if I if needed to pass it along to anyone.  But.....







Playing with it was so much more fun.  We actually played tug-of-war with it.  We tried so hard to damage it.  The darn thing was indestructible. So it was washed and put away for next winter.  Poor Pilar.... maybe next year they will buy her something else.

Well this is Willow writing from the compound still pouting that mommy is gone.  Wishing you all well and big smoooches.  I have missed you all.

Checking in!!

Hi everyone! We are back today. We wanted to show you our wall of black and whites. This is part of the new decorating and kitchen building that is stillllll going on at our house. Remember all those pictures that our friend Teresa took for us back in the fall? Here is her work displayed all over the wall. Mommy says only black and white pictures can go up there. Grandma thinks she is silly because she doesn't like black and whites.... she says "they invited color so you can SEE the color" she just doesn't get mommy. On the far right you can see our cousin Issac he was at the beach!!
Now you see Pilar...we have a problem here. She is in my condo in front of MY dish. Yes she is looking for handouts and wants to eat from my dish. She just isn't getting it that she gets the little dish and I get the big dish. If she did...then I guess she wouldn't be on a diet!!!
So dad and I had to have another talk about Pilar getting into my stuff again. He told me that I was going to have to deal with or just sit on her. It seems I am to nice and let her "walk" all over me. She takes things right out of my mouth then goes into her condo and hides them then will get hers and proceed to her condo to eat hers. Ty said I should just beat her up. Ally says I should be more like mommy and just growl at her. I am just now sure what to do!!!
Big smooches to all of you. This is Willow signing out from the compound warning all of you to hang on to your bones so nopaw gets ahold of them and you are left boneless!!

We are sorry we have been absent for so long. We just wanted to say we will miss Bogies Daddy. Our love is with Bogie and his Mommy LuLu. If I could get on Ruby's plane and fly to you I would. I am sending smooches and love to you both.

big smooches,
Willow and her family

Wii Fit & My girl

Of course it was bed time! Ally was just taking up too much of the bed. They still didn't get those full mattresses yet!! So...Ally took the cushions from the couch and made me a bed. Now if I could just get her to scoot over a little more!! Now here I am....sitting....thinking....and pondering what to do. One Wii, one boy, 2 girls and one Willow. Hmmmm how was I going to make this work. I needed a plan and a good one.
At last I did. It was great! Every time a person got on the Wii fit i would lay a paw on it or my tail. They didn't take notice. So I had to take drastic measures...I laid on it while they were playing. Yes that is me with my head on the board getting told to leave...NOW!! As you all can see I am not budging. Plus she was doing much better with my help....poor girl. They need to make me my own character because I have seen some of these humans play and let me just say friends....we are soooo much better than they are!

My girl got on and gave me that look "you do it and you will get busted all the way to the kennel." So off I went in search of a cat. Hey at least I am bigger and they can't complain right! So I found Teak and Daddy, they had foodables so life was good.



Friends, we are so happy to finally be coming back. Things are still a little sad. Mommy & Daddy's friend died this week. Yes same community and everyone new each other. But everyone is pulling together for both families and it makes our hearts feel so happy. So much must be done over the next month that we will be popping in and off just to say hi to some of our friends. Please don't think we have bailed on you. You are all very important to us. You and your humans have gotten us through our rough patches. When mommy couldn't sleep because of the sadness she would get on and just read about our blog families. She said she is sorry she didn't write but will start again soon. My sister promises to start helping me out with the typing since my mommy has so much going on. She said to please forgive her spelling (we told her there is spell check) and that she isn't funny. I think she is sweet and kind. She is workable.
Well this is Willow checking out from the compound tonight. Wishing you all love slobbers, licks, nibbles, puppy slams and cold nose pokes. Without these things life would be boring. Much love and BIG SMOOCHES TO ALL......Willow and her compound.

Sad News.


Hi everyone. Do you see me hiding behind my daddy? Well...we won't be around again for about a week or so. My boys friend was killed in a snowmobile accident on Friday. He was 11 and all of our hearts are broken. They have played ball together and been in the same class since kindergarten. My parents are friends with his parents. You see we live in a small town so this has been hard on all our humans. In the middle of the night we all got on the horn with each other and came up with a plan to be extra loving and good to our humans. I will keep you all posted on how my boy is doing. Mommy is going to be sticking pretty close to him so she sends her love to you all.
Lots of licks and hugs, Willow

Christmas at MY house!!

Hi everyone! See those presents....they aren't for me or Pilar. I tried to get under the tree to see if I could fit. But all I did was end up breaking Ally's ornament...her favorite kitty one. No Santa didn't bring me everything I wanted. I guess that is ok. I did however get a plate of food....so all is forgiven!!
Pilar was put out by the whole darn Christmas thing. She would not let anyone take her picture! She would run and hide. Mommy was getting rather upset about the whole thing. But....she too got a plate of food. Just not as much as ME!!!

Do you see that smile on my mommy's face??? Guess what she got for Christmas??? Yep a camera!!! Everyone finally got tired of listening to her cry and whine about not having one so they pulled their pennies together and got her one!! She chased us all around the house yesterday playing with it. She took over 200 pictures!!! Daddy just shook his head at her and said "we created a monster...hide!!!" Daddy used some kind of delete button on a lot of them which made mommy unhappy. She said each one was a work of art!!! *whatever mom*
Well this is Willow signing out and saying Happy Holidays! Enjoy your food and gifts! Please...avoid human chocolate but eat lots of pie!!!
Smooches,
Willow

ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

Ok I say "ENOUGH ALREADY" my mom needs to get over it!!! So life isn't fair and the snow sucks and we are stuck in Michigan for the holidays! Big deal......they have ME!!! Oh yeah and Pilar.
So the plan is...this: I wake her ever morning until I drive her crazy. I did get her to send out some cards....but darn her not all. Some more will be going out and I DID bite her just to let you all know. Ok so I have been nipping a little at everyone but hey if it gets them moving then it is ok.
Our update:
1. Pilar has lost weight. I guess this a big deal. Pilar is just mad she isn't getting extra snacks.
2. My kids and daddy are home all the time now due to some break. I sure hope they don't get into trouble for breaking something.
3. My mom says she has been doing a lot of retail therapy since her friend got back from Australia and hopes dad doesn't notice.....to much.
4. It's been snowing.....a lot.
5. I LOVE THE SNOW!!! I get a rub down and blown dry after a good play date with my kids in the snow!!!
6. Nope the kitchen is not done but it is live able mom says.
7. I am getting Pilar's extra eatables. hahahahaha oh sorry that was rude.

Well that is all I have to report from the compound right now. Lots of licks to all of you. Try to stay warm if you are in the cold and dry if you are in the snow!
Big Smooches,
Willow
