Wordless Wednesday - no cast edition... :)

Thank you's all around!

In the past couple of weeks we've gotten a few surprises for our pups that I need to say thank you for.  Between travelling for work, Harlow's paw and Monty surgery, putting this post together has proven to be almost impossible!

First off, I want to thank fellow blogger Elyse Hunt (hugs to Riley!) for thinking of our Sam and making a donation in his name to Therapy Dogs International - thank you so much Elyse!  You have no idea what it means to me to know folks are still thinking of my Sam.

Next, I need to thank Khyra's Mom for sending me a couple of care packages.  The first came via Auntie Di, and thanks to traveling and injuries, we were never able to meet up.  She finally sent it to me through the mail.  Horse magazines, treats for the pups and an adorable little Friesian statue was included!  :)

We had such lovely notes from folks worried about Harlow - thank you everyone!

Shortly after, Khyra's Mom sent a second package with a few more horse magazines (Yay!), a wonderful shirt, and more treats for the pups!

Love it!

The pups loved the treats!

We also got an e-mail that we had won a contest over at Peggy's Pet Place.  We guessed what Zeke ate, and in return, won a wonderful cook book for the pups!  Thank you, Peggy!

The pups can't wait!

Finally, and just perfect for Harlow's new Soon-to-be-Pink Princess Castle, came two medallions from a secret admirer...  Who could it be?  There was a pink crown medallion for Harlow and a purple crown medallion for Monty.

It was kind of plain before...

The medallions made it perfect!  (Yes, it is decorated for Christmas!)

Mystery and intrigue...

Thank you so much everyone!  We've enjoyed getting our little surprises in the mail and love how you think of our pups!  You are all so wonderful.  :)

Wordless Wednesday - Smile!

Sugar comes to Phoenix

One of the things I love best about being a dog blogger is getting a chance to meet other dog bloggers.  On Friday, we arranged to meet the beautiful Sugar, who would be passing through Phoenix with her family.   We had tried a couple of times in the past, but something always seemed to come up.

Harlow is our dog-friendly dog so she was the one who came along.  Well, that and the fact that she decided her bandage needed to come off and I needed to keep a closer eye on her.  I boosted her up in the work truck and we headed out.

Lately, Harlow thinks that folks are following us when we drive.  She keeps a close eye on them to make sure they don't do anything sneaky...

Dere dey are again, Momma.  Always in different cars, but dey are dere....

After I proved I am a country girl and can't figure out how to get into a hotel, Sugar's folks came out and rescued me and we settled down in the hotel courtyard for a nice chat.

Beautiful Sugar!

We had the nicest visit!  Harlow was a perfect lady and only manged to bonk everyone with her giant padded paw a few times.  She loved Sugar and her folks!

Hey dere, Sugar's Momma.  I iz watching you...

Much to our surprise, Harlow actually ate part of a banana.  Yes, you read that right.  I think she saw Sugar enjoying hers and decided to give it another try...

Watcha got dere, Sugar's Momma?

Look at Sugar's sweet face!  :)

...and yes, I have pictures of Harlow eating the banana...

Sugar is definitely the sweetest dog you could ever meet.  ...and such a lady!  She talks to her people to let them know she wants something.  I think Harlow was studying her and trying to figure out how she could talk to us.

The signature purple Pawz.

Of course, we needed to get a few photos with the Golden Girls together...

Watcha got dere?  Is that a treat?

Dat looks like a vegetable to me...

I love Sugar's smile!  Harlow was a little skeptical...

BOL - Sugar's Mom was offering them cauliflower as a treat for posing.  Sugar loved it, Harlow did try a piece and actually ate it.  I think she was trying to impress Sugar.

I didn't want to keep Sugar's folks as they were planning an early start the next day, so after a while we said our good byes and Harlow and I headed home...

Zzzzzz.....

We are hoping to catch up again with everyone on their return trip through Phoenix, plus maybe take a slight detour to introduce them to Baron and the rest of the ponies, Aaron and of course, our Mr Monty.  We really enjoyed being able to meet Sugar and her family!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Dis Thanksgiving we is happy that Momma haz finally accepted we will sit no closer den 15 inches...

...and dat sometimes, we won't even look at each other...

...and dat da Momma haz finally accepted that she is just going to have to get creative in order to get nice photo of us...

She's kinda stubborn, but we still love her...

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at How Sam Sees It!
