Alma The Airegirl

This is Alma. She is a cute little Airedale stuffie who was very loved by a little girl who always wanted an Airedale. When the little girl grew up, she began to forget about her stuffies... including little Alma. When her family moved away, they left some things behind in their old house, and Alma was one of them.

Alma has been trying to find her family ever since. In the meantime, she travels all over the world for Airedale Rescue, and because my good buddy, Kirby the Aireboy, thought she should come to GooberStan, he arranged for her trip by making a donation to Airedale Rescue in celebration of my birthday!

Stella & I were stinkin' excited to meet Alma, and to get started on showing her how the goober half lives!



Merv even extended the paw of friendship to Alma, who became fast friends with my catbro. (That Alma knows how to schmooze.)

We only had a few days together, so the goobette training for Alma begain immediately. We repaired to the backyard to begin the training process. (Alma even accessorized for the occasion.)

Alma jumped right in with all four paws and joined Stella in some hammock surfing.

Alma is a natural. Plus, she had a mighty good grip on Stella the whole time.

Here I'm prepping Alma for the Buckaroo Goober ride. I'm checking to see if she was ready, and she gave me a paws up sign.

I bucked and galloped and cavorted all around the yard, yet I couldn't get the stuffie girl to fall off.

So, we moved right into the wrasslin' & bitey face portion of the training.

It started out as a 3-way wrasslin' match, but Stella bowed out pretty quickly. That Alma is one scrappy chica! She went for that under-the-collar move and I thought I was a goner!

We finally called it a "draw". And, if you're thinking that Alma's getting a little frisky with me post wrasslin', she's NOT. She was just telling me about where she learned all her moves.

Alma had such a blast hanging with us goobers, she decided to become a GooberStanian citizen. In celebration of her decision, we bestowed upon Alma the groovy hat. (It was a wee bit big for her.)

Gradually, she worked out the best angle to wear it.

Awww. She's a cutie pie, but she's also rough, and tough, and has a personality MUCH bigger than her actual size!

In our excitement, Stella & I did a little goober dance of joy for Alma!

No sooner did we complete the paperwork for her GooberStanian passport, it was time for us to say good-bye. We sent Alma off with a boatload of goober smooches for the road, and for her to pass out along the way!

Alma, you are a goob among goobs and we here in GooberStan salute you! Come back ANYTIME!

Goober love,

Stanley & Stella
