Important packages

Howdy, puppers! Shiloh here. An important package arrived the other day, from none other than the Army of Four Headquarters! Mom was extremely excited about it - she said it was for her, but I needed to be sure. So here I am inspecting.

Sure enough, it was what I was expecting. Our Christmas present to mom! A custom made handbag by KZK, the Army of Four's mom herself. Guinness and I made arrangements before Christmas to have it done for her, with a little of dad's help. I was so nervous!

Mom just loves her new bag soooo much! She's takes it with her everywhere she goes and has stuffed it full of all sorts of important things. We want to personally thank KZK and the Army of Four, especially Dave, Guide Dog for the Color Blind, for all of their hard work to help make mom's Christmas extra special.


I knew it would be beawootiful.

Thanks, Dave! And KZK too!



Love and Snoses,
Guinness & Shiloh

Play date fun

Hey, everypup - it's Shiloh reporting today! We went to a MaPaw Playdate today and wow was it fun!

Here are some picks of the friends I made today. The first one, well, that's me - hee hee.

The next pretty redheaded husky is Brandy. She kept giving everyone lots of kisses and got lots of hugs from the bipeds.

(Don't worry, Ammy. You're still my very favorite redheaded girl)

This buff colored guy is Falcor. He's a lot like me, shy and quiet. But he's a very nice older fellow.

The bipeds kept complaining about how cold it was. I don't know what they were complaining about - the weather was perfect! The only thing that would have made it better would have been some snow. Oh, well.

Until next time, Roo,

Shiloh

Daddy's silly present

Daddy wants to have his office redone this year. And he wants it to have the feel of a lodge or cabin. so, we thought it would be funny to give him a really silly present. What do you think?

A new year!

Haroo puppers! It's me, Shiloh. Happy Roo Year! It's been sooooo cold here - and as you know, we huskies looove the cold. Unfortunately, the bipeds here do NOT, so we've been cooped up for a while. Well, I finally got them to take me to the dog park. It took many zoomies in the house to get them to go out in the cold, but they finaly listened to me. Anyroo, here I am, enjoying the brisk winter air in our wonderful and wooded dog park, Reservior Dogs in Phoenixville PA. Not too many other puppies out today, just one brave boxer who didn't let the cold effect her. She had loads of engeriy. We ran zoomies around the park for a while - until mom ran out of latte, then we had to go home to Guinness.

It's a shame Guinness cannot go with us to the park, she'd have loved it. She's not getiing around very well these days - her DM is progressing and her baclk legs are really not working very well at all anymore. So, she spends her days lounging and helping mom with her quilting.

My new year's resorootion is to get mom & dad to take me to the park more often.

What's yours???

Roo ya later,

Shiloh

Cookies and more

Haroo everyone! Guinness Grrl reporting in again. Sorry that we haven't blogged in a while. Things have been very busy here at the Inn. Mom and I have been getting ready for the upcoming howliday by baking loads of cookies! As you can see here, mom made her favorites - Peanut Blossoms. The pretty flower shaped ones are deep fried Rosettes with powdered sugar sprinkled on them. She also made loads and loads of biscotti. Yummy! Though, I couldn't taste test most of them - chocolate is bad for us puppers.

Mom and I have also been very busy in the quilting studio. She is finished with her howliday sewing projects and is now turning to a new project. The center panel of the newest quilt is pictured here. Isn't it bewootiful?

Mom is taking time off of wrrrk to clean the Inn and get ready for the annual howliday party on Christmas Eve. She's gonna be cookin and cleanin her heart out. Shiloh and I help a lot by supervising and reminding mom that rest and romp breaks are needed often. If you are in our neighborhood on Christmas Eve, you're invited to the party! Stop on in, we'd love to see you!

If we don't see you, we hope that your howliday is special and everything that you want it to be.

Love & Snoses,

Guiness Grrl

Santa's Lil Helper

Haroo everyone. Guinness reporting in today with a pupdate on the doings of the Inn. Mom has been very busy with over 12 quilting projects for friends and family for the upcoming Christmas holiday. As you may know, I am her helper in the quilting studio, so it's been a lot of work. I'm worn out just thinking about all of those quilts that I helped mom baste.

She's also been making little tiny little totes for her grrlfriends and coworkers. Aren't they cute? I have to take a lot of breaks from helping these days, but mom says I'm still a lot of her to her in the studio. Shiloh likes to help too, when I"m on break. He gets the projects nice and hairy so people will know that we doggies love them too.

The weather has been rainy and gloomy here, so getting ready for the holidays has been our way of cheering up. Mom says that tree they get every year is on it's way this weekend, so I'll be helping with the positioning and consulting on the decorating. So much to do this time of year!

Haroo for now. Love & kisses,

Guinness Grrl.

Dog Sitting & Shiloh, the Great White Hunter

Hello, everyone. Mom reporting in here. Not much happening at the Stoutino Inn since Buster got adopted. We've gotten pupdates on him and he's settling in quite nicely with his new family. He even has a doggy door to go in and out as he pleases. Mo likes to take Buster on tours of the best places to sniff & pee.

We are taking a break from fostering for a while, but we do have a four legged visitor. We are dog sitting a friend's pup, Klondike. Here he is helping me check my email.

Klondike is an older dog, so he likes to take it easy and just relax. Perfect for us right now, so Guinness doesn't get knocked off of her wobbly feet. She's doing as well as she can to get around. Still getting up and down stairs and in and out without too much trouble.

Shiloh has been taking everything in stride too. Here he is, the Great White Hunter, with what is left of a toy we won in a gift basket from Hike n Howl. What you don't see in the picture is the little lion's stuffing all over the dining room floor.

That's the latest happenings here. Hope you are all doing well and have lots of fun stuff too.

Love, Mom Stoutino
