2. Say 7 things about yourself. - Ok, that's below.

Seven things about myself. I'll just do seven things about the dogs, because really, this blog is all about them!

1. Dusty - had a 12 hour journey before he got to us.
2. Jock - the last of his litter in a pet shop. No one had wanted him because he was the only one with short fur!
3. Dusty - went through three crates before he finally got the one he is in now. He can't chew up this one! ;)
4. Lucy - chewed a chunk out of a concrete pole while she was teething... :P
5. Jock - used to run away during storms when we lived on the beach. We would find him several days later at a house half an hour's drive away!
6. Lucy - will sing to you if you get her excited enough. :D
7. Jock - is scared of our goats. He's such a scaredy dog sometimes!

PS. I have posted the page for my contest. You can see it in the pages gadget underneath the header picture!

We're Back!!!

We got back a couple of days ago. I have never seen Jock's eyes so wide in my entire life! I'm sure he was thinking 'Oh my Dog, you actually came BACK!!!'
And they got even wider when the stick came out. 'Oh my Dog you're back and PLAYING WITH ME!!!!'
I have never seen him want a stick so much. Woah.

And Lucy was the happiest dog in the whole WORLD at that moment.

And Dusty? Well, we went to pick him up and he was a completely different dog. I mean, not literally, but he was so FLUFFY!!! I've never seen him so fluffy in my whole life. It was a bit sad picking him up, though, because the people who had kept him said, 'He feels like my own dog now'. And Dusty didn't want to go at first!
But when we got in the car, he was a bit unsure. But as soon as we turned into the lane, he started yowling and screaming to get out and see Jock and Lucy. I've never heard him that excited before!!
And when we let him out of the car...

He went super crazy! Peeing himself and all!
But that wasn't the only exciting thing that happened.
Can ya guess?
No?
Ok, here's a clue.

Still can't guess?


You sure you want me to give away the game?


 Really?


Ok, if you're serious about giving up, then...

SARGE'S PRESSIE ARRIVED!!!

There was lots of excitement when the doggies realised that they had a very special pressie all the way from the USA!
Everyone had a HEAP of fun with the toy! It's going to be a special occasion toy, as it's a pretty special toy!

Get AWAY from the toy!

And that's not all. Oh, no, Sarge (being a generous, kind, handsome doggie) put in EXTRAS. Yep, he even put in EXTRAS. See for yourselves. See with your own eyes.

A grooming glove! PERFECT for Dusty's stripping!

Healthy, yummy treats! PERFECT for training!

And the letter. The letter of Sargeness.

You have no IDEA how excited we all were! I had to prevent myself from tearing into the parcel before Lucy could see it first. And then, I thought I was excited, but then there were the DOGGIES!! And they were just HYPER over it! Fights and all!

Really, this was all over the (super awesomely cool) toys! No joking involved!


Really, I don't want to stop talking about how exciting it was! But really, I thought I should show you how FLUFFY Dusty has gotten! And, I could only get him to pose for the camera using Sarge's pressies! Yep!

See? How fluffy and fuzzy and snuggly and handsome and AWESOME he looks? I love it when he's fluffy!
Ok, he doesn't look that fluffy in that picture, but believe me, he is VERY fluffy!
Does he look fluffier there? Maybe? But seriously, his belly fluff is the best. It's just so fuzzy! Like the pressies from Sarge! (I'm at it again! Can't get over these toys!)

Oh yes, and by the way, that picture is a Sarge's Pressie Pose picture. The first one wasn't. See the amazing excitement in the second one? Yeah? That's the power of Sarge's Pressie right there.


So, I think that I need to give Sarge the most BIGGEST, BESTEST, *MORE 'EST' WORDS THAT I CAN'T THINK OF RIGHT NOW* THANK YOU for the pressies.
So,

THANK YOU SARGE!!!!!!!!!!

 Now, I'm not excluding everyone else from this post, as I'm going to remind EVERYONE that there is only THREE days left to enter Dusty's Celebration Competiton! If you havn't taken a look at the page about it, then check it out >>> here <<<. Yep, that's where you can get all the info

Dusty's Pressies

I have gathered a couple of things for Dusty this holiday (whoops nothing for Jock... Lucy is covered by Sarge's pressies. Thanks again, Sarge!)
I've got Dusty a collar and a tag. Just because then he can have it for when he needs to look 'smart' :P

I'm not sure why blogger decided to flip this picture. I can't get it to look normal, so sorry if I'm causing a lot of sideways heads! ;)
The collar/bandana is from France, and I thought it would be cute on Dusty.
I'm pretty sure you can guess where the tag is from. I got it because he's an English breed of doggie and I like the Union Jack pattern.
We also got a little doggie letter rack. It's cute!

Perhaps I should get Jockie a toy or something... I thought about getting him a tag, too, but him being the Master of Losing Tags and all.... I didn't think it was such a smart idea....
But then again, he loses toys, too.
I'm just going to add in to this post a couple of doggie drawings I've done on holiday. Just to give you an idea of my style of drawing for my competition!

I like the first one the most. What about you?

The Word of Dusty: EXCITERIEDED!!!

Herlo all you doggons from all over the world that are readin this writing that I have written!

Sunshine Award

 If you havn't already read it, please take a look at my competition post here.

Thanks so much to Barnie for this award!

To recieve this award, I have to answer the following questions. (They always make it interesting, don't they?)

1. My favourite number - 3, of course, because three dogs!
2. My favourite non-alcoholic drink - orangina, seriously, you must try this drink. It's heaven in a bottle!
3. Do I prefer facebook or twitter - neither, don't have them! ;)
4. My passion - art, because it's a great past time and it's fun
5. My favourite pattern -anything, I like patterns in general
6. My favourite day of the week - sunday, dog obedience day! :)
7. Favourite flower - poppies, it's amazing when you see a big field filled with bright red poppies. It's like a red carpet!

So now, I'm going to nominate this award to the following, in no particular order at all. You can click on the names to see their blogs:

Raelyn and Rose - this is a blogger with a very special dog called Rose. Why is she so special? She's what Raelyn calls a 'Mystery Dog, the best kind of mixed breed'!
Bella - this is a border terrier with just one eye, but still super cute! I enjoy reading their blog as there's always something interesting to look at.
Roxy - I like to read this blog because it's about a dog quite similar to Dusty. Similar in a way of chewing, and naughtiness! The title of their blog is even 'Destructive Puppy!'
Kort and Tate - These are two absolutely beautiful collies. They are always doing something interesting, and it's a great blog to read.

Everyone who's recieved the award will now have to answer the questions and pass it on!

All the others I wanted to nominate to had already recieved it, but sorry if this is the second time recieving this award. It's hard to check!

Also, thanks to all the entrants so far in Dusty's Celebration Competition. We've got some pawsome entries!
