Viva La Stuffy

Our buddy, T-Bone Beaseley, declared today National Stuffy Appreciation Day. In honor of our stuffies and their loyal companionship and many sacrifices, we gave ours the day off, but not before we each invited a fave stuffy to have breakfast with us.

I chose my little Pooh and Stella invited the now boneless Funky Chicken I was given by Ruby.

Then we invited them outside for a little play time.

Stella & the chicken went in for a litte tug-a-lug, but Pooh wanted a game of hide and seek. This is Pooh hiding.

Even though I saw him there in the weeds, I couldn't go right up to him. That wouldn't have been very sporting like, so I made like I didn't know where he was. Is he over there?



Maybe he's up on one of those higher branches? Hmmmm...




Ahhh. There he is. Good hiding, Pooh!

And now, a photo tribute to 3 of my largest and most loved stuffies. First up, Giant Pooh!

If you don't watch him, he can get a good wrasslin' move over on you.

This here is Fernando, my ginormous frog!

He's an exceptional cuddler.

And he has googly eyes!

Last, and certainly NOT least, is Piglet: Extra Large!

We're like peas and carrots.

I MUST say that my most fave stuffy of all time HAS to be my sissy, Stella. But, she's not getting the day off from stuffy duty today. No sireee!

Happy National Stuffy Appreciation Day to you all!!!

Goober love,

Stanley

Fave-O-Licious Things

My Airebuds Maggie and Mitch tagged me to share some of my favorite things with you. All I can say is get ready for a virtual eye feast of photos, cuz there's a lot of them here. Little did I know that 5 simple questions would draw this much out of me. Here goes.

1. Where is your favorite place to sleep?

I will sleep anywhere as long as I can maneuver myself onto my back. Most often I sleep on this cushy red couch.

2. Is there a specific trick your humans make you do to get treats?

Other than the basic sit, wait, shake, the only other trick I do to get treats is invade the personal space of the human treat dispenser.

3. If you could spend an entire day doing anything at all, with anyone, what would do and with whom?

This answer is going to be a little long, but I'd be packing in a whole lot of living into that one day. These are some of the essential activities of my day, in no particular order, and my hooman girl would be with me every step of the way.



I must be allowed to run like the wind...

Preferably with my three best pupgirls...

Rockin' Ruby Bug

Saucy Suki Girl

and

Asta, my Sweetpea.

Of course, there would also be lots of goober smoochin' going on (in between all of our other activities).

I'd definitely take a dip in my fave pond.

Ice cream would be a non-negotiable part of the day (maybe multiple times).

I would want to make some time for good snout-to-snout talks with friends.

Merv and I would spend some quality time together.

And there would be WRASSLIN'...

and SNUGGLIN'.

4. What is your favorite toy?

Other than my ball collection (which I prize), it is a toss up between the 2 extra large stuffies that I drag everywhere and love to cuddle most -- my Piglet...

And my frog, Fernando.

5. If you could change one thing in your life, what would it be?

My life is pretty stinkin' good! I love my girl, I love my home, I love my cat Merv, and I have so many great friends in GooberStan and abroad (including all you dogs and Girl Girl), that there really isn't anything I would change...

except...

I really would have liked to have had a chance to meet the two other Airedales who came before me in my girl's loveline, Rosie & Bert. I bet we all would have had a blast together!

Now that I have spewed about myself, I am going to tag 3 more dogs to join me in the spewage! I think I'll make this a puggy tag, and zap my Suki Girl, Clover, and Suki Sumo to spill the goods on their FAVE-O-RITE things!

Love,
Stanley
