Goodies of an International Nature

How did we acquire this FAB doofus bird?

Why is this hump-happy caterpillar now living in GooberStan?

Who sent us this superb stash of gooberlicious noshables?

We were lucky to have our monumentally gooberish buds ~ Sherman, Penny & Lola (THE DOJA - Dogs Of Jackman Ave) ~ as partners in the first annual DWB's International Goodie Exchange! WHOA! Did they do us right or WHAT?!

This Doofus Bird caught my attention right away. You can see that he got me off of my feet (like the hang time?) and aireborne for a nice game of tag. Then we got down to some serious stuffie testing ~ snuggle time.

This bird is almost as much of a camera hound as I am.








Stella wanted to rumble me for him, but I let her have a little visitation time with the bird. She invited him into her new condo (she got the new digs for her birthday).

The gay pride caterpillar even showed up for the party.

I have a feeling that anytime during the next week, this is how you'll find me and the Doofus Bird... stationed by the front windows on squirrel patrol.

Stella has taken ownership of the caterpillar.

I was just going to ignore it, you know? But, I had to have me a taste of that rainbow colored worm.

Speaking of taste, if there's one thing Sherman, Penny & Lola know about, it's how to eat! Our girl let us try out these free-floating treats we found in the box amongst all the other goodies.

Notice the big bubble of goober drool on my bottom lip? This chew was seriously tasty. If you biggiefy the photo you'll see just how monumentally juicy my snout really is!

Stella repaired to her condo to have a solitary chew.

Now for the weird stuff. Sherman, Penny & Lola's mom sent Stella a bag of Sherman Stink. Here she is checking it out.

She kept sticking her nose deeper and deeper into that bag.

I heard her say something about wanting to suck all the Sherman Stink she could out of his fur sample. I think she's going to recarpet her condo with it.

Stella was so enraptured by the experience I thought I'd give it a whirl. I eagerly anticipated the heights to which I was about to be transported.

All it took was one good whiff! I'm thinking that bag is filled more with Stink than with Sherman! Ewwwww weeeeee!!

You've gotta be kidding me.

Stella & I had the same idea when it came to the note Sherm, Penny & Lola sent. We both wanted to eat it.

Can you really blame us?

Sherman! Penny! Lola! You guys are the cat's pajamas! We LOVE our box of love, and are overwhelmed with gooey and wiggly feelings for all three of you!

Stella decided she would use the little squeaky duck in the package to practice what she'd do on a date with Sherman. See how she's going in for the smooch?! I've gotta say, I'm a little embarrassed and queasy here.

Chef & T-Bone Beaseley, this was a brilliant idea of the highest order! We LOVE the way you guys think. Thanks for organizing all of this and for being patient as we waited for our lazy girl to let us open our package!

Goob love,

Stanley & Stella

StellaFest Part 3

Hey, frens! Here is my third and final installment of StellaFest! Whew! It's been a full three weeks of celebrating ME, and while I've been loving it, I could have done without posing in the official GooberStanian birthday hat.

Most of the photos show how I really feel about the official birthday hat.

Now, onto all the gooberlicious goodness I received from my frens! All of the following goodies came from my buddies Momo & Pinot in Toronto! Here are some action shots with the pinky ball they sent me!

As you can see, I'm LOVIN' this ball!

I even think this ball may be lovin' me back!








Momo & Pinot also sent a boatload of treats for me & hairy Stanley. Here is just a sample of the FABULOUSLY tasty treats they sent.

They didn't forget Stanley, no siree! He got himself a tuggy Monkey Man!

Of course, I absconded with Monkey Man! He's cute and makes me giggle. Stanley's gonna have to fight me for him. THANK YOU, Momo & Pinot!!! These are such FAB presents! I feel the love and love you with all my goobery heart!

Now you might be wondering... "Hmmm. What could this be in Stella's jaws of death?"






Wonder no more. For it is the one and only Dufus Duck, from none other than Mr. T-Bone Beaseley! The Bease knows his squeakies, let me tell ya!

The Dufus Duck and I got quickly acquainted with one another. We speak the same language. (Stanley said he wasn't surprised.)

The Bease also sent this WILD 8-Legged guy to Stanley, but again, I absconded with him. Stanley gets visitation rights... when I say he does.

Don't worry about ol' hairy Stanley. The Bease also sent him this rubbery ball (which we still haven't gotten a photo of) and a 12 inch bull pizzle. He's a happy goob.

Contemplating the pizzle...

Possessing the pizzle...

Devouring the pizzle...

What a goober boy my bruzzer is.

Sweet T-Bone Beaseley, you are such a stinkin' good pressie giver! Thanks for all the love you sent me & Stanley!!

Now for all my Aussie presents from Noah, Willow, Tess, and Lucy! Here is my very own Mr. Carrot! He's a gorgeous shade of orange, don't you think?

They also sent me some Aussie fashion accessories. (Obviously they know that accessories are the KEY to fashion.) It's GORGEOUS! I can't wait to show it off!

Tons of Aussie snackables came tumbling out of the package too! They also sent some fun information on their part of Australia and some other stuff for my girl!

They also sent the sweetest card with their photos on it and the limerick they wrote for me about inviting me to their estate for a beer! I'm IN! You Aussie Dales are stinkin' sweet to me! Thank you for sending your love from down under!

One of the last things I got to do to celebrate my birthday was to go to Herc's house for a spa day and play date. He uses fresh rain water in his spa and nothing but organic mud. It was SOOOO relaxing.

After my whirlpool and Herc's hair treatment we wrassled and chased like crazies all over his yard. Here I am putting my world famous head-fart move on him. (My girl says I belch and fart like a trucker.) It momentarily incapacitated him so I could make a clean getaway!

For those who like action sports, I did have a video of Hercules trying to catch me and eat my fuzzy head, but blogger wouldn't cooperate (stinky blogger).

Thanks, Herc, for the spa day, and for wrasslin, bitin' and chasin' with me! You're the best Hercy brother a girl could have!!

There are lots of buds who sent birthday cards to me, like Maya & Kena, Balboa, and my boyfriend, Taffy. I've decided to keep my card from Taffy private, but you all need to know that he is the sweetest Welshie Boy EVER! If I've forgotten to mention you and you sent me birthday greetings, please forgive me. This is all so new to me!

For all my frens out there, know that I LOVE YOU with all the love in my little goober heart, and I'm most thankful for YOU on my first birthday!

Goobery love & juicy kissies,
Stella
