    So a package arrived for me today… all the way from Canada… what could it be?  It’s not STILL my birthday, is it???

    Sunshade Birthday Gift

    Sunshade, I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my presents!!!  The treats are super yummy, (mom claimed the stuffed Airedale so I wouldn’t destroy it), and the Bogie photo tag is FANTASTIC!!!  And those green tripe treats, well, I’ve NEVER tasted anything so delicious in my entire life!  Mom says that yes they stink, but as long as I like ‘em…

    My New Pal Murphy

    Meet my new pal Murphy.  We met in the funniest way today…

    My New Pal Murphy

    My New Pal Murphy

    Mom and I went to Pasadena and thought we’d have a romp in the park.  So she pulled over the Bogie-mobile and when we got out we were in front of a flower store.  All mom saw was a flower store but I saw something m-o-r-e… I saw Murphy inside and she saw me so we had a little love-and-sniff-fest through the glass door.  I thought I’d never see her again until…

    While mom and I were in the park (and thankfully, after I’d already done my “business” and mom had put it in the trashcan), Murphy and her dad came over too!  Running toward me like we’d known each other for years, it was that pretty brown girl from the flower shop.  One sniff of each other’s butts and we knew we’d be friends.

    Since it was a public park and apparently I don’t listen (thanks a lot mom) I had to stay on leash but I still got to have an incredibly good time running around with Murphy.  She’s super fun to play with…

    My New Pal Murphy

    All that running around in the hot Pasadena sun got us both tired, so while the humans were talking we thought we’d just rest.  I got up nice and close to Murphy so we could cuddle a little.

    (ain’t she sweet?)

    I’m ready to play again with Murphy ANY TIME – and now that I know where she “works” I can stop by the next time mom and I are in Pasadena to say hi!!!

    Love,

    I am overwhelmed that all of the girls that I asked to be my Valentine have said YES!!! You ladies have warmed my heart (and other areas).

    Sunshade Pinup

    Miss Sunshade, this pinup photo of you kept me awake all night, tossing and turning on my humpy pillow. I’m still not entirely sure why, but I can say that I REALLY LIKE IT. I’m sooooo happy we are Valentines and hope you receive your present soon!

    Faya

    Miss Faya, my Euro-babe, I loved the video of you enjoying my present and wish it could be me there that you are licking so delicately.

    Maggie

    Miss Maggie you made me so happy when you said yes to being my Valentine! We MUST be amazing dogs as our moms think exactly alike!

    Snickers My Valentine

    Miss Snickers – my only non-Airedale Valentine this year – you looked soooooo lovely as you tore open my package, I was so happy!!!!!

    Lillie Valentine

    And Miss Lillie – you’re such a pretty girl, I’m so happy that you are my Valentine too!!!!

    Sunshade Pinup

    Ah Miss Sunshade, I cannot wait to share a meal with you sometime! You’re truly Perfection!!!

    I am THE LUCKIEST DOG IN THE WHOLE WORLD to have these great ladies in my life. THANK YOU LADIES!!!!!!

    Love,

    Bogart Valentine's Day

    First, a big wet sloppy kiss (complete with wet stringy beard) to all of my special Valentines! And then another one to all of my boy dog friends (because I’m equal opportunity)!

    The picture above is Kafka the tabby and Behemoth the grey spotty guy, two of the cats that share my home. Kafka is lying on his heart-shaped pillow (did you notice that he’s managed to get all 3 pillows into his bed? one of those used to be mine….). Appropriate for Valentines Day, I thought.

    So back to the things that make the heart go pitter patter. Mom and dad took me out to see my very FAVORITE pals in the entire world, those fabulous Airedales, Robin, Kermit and Jupie! I had a special present for Jupie (she’s the only girl) that I just had to give her in person… some of my other Valentines have already received theirs, this was the only one I got to “paw-deliver”.

    I always have a HUGE amount of fun running around with the other Dales and today was no exception.

    Bogart Valentine's Day Bogart Valentine's Day

    Since it was Valentine’s Day, and I am a young unneutered male, my thoughts turned almost immediately to l-o-v-e… and that meant Jupie. Hey, I’ll try to hump the boys too but they’re not quite as tolerant as Jupie is, and they don’t smell as nice.

    So I worked my magic on her and she must have known that it was Valentines Day as well for she actually let me get some good humping in before kicking me off and running away. Heaven!

    Mom and Dad really LOVE the Dales too at Mareike’s house – it’s always fun for them to talk with her and tell stories while I’m running around humping everything in sight.

    They’re really my very BEST BUDDIES in the whole world, and I always have a SUPER GREAT time playing with them.

    Nice clean teeth from regular bone eating – I aspire to this, as well as the lush, full beard.

    After a lot of time running around in the sunny afternoon, it was time to go home.  Unfortunately I really didn’t want to go yet, but since I was wearing my green adventure harness, it was easy for mom and dad to “persuade” me that we had to leave.  Not my choice, Mareike!  I’d stay and play with your dogs ALL THE TIME if my evil mom and dad would let me…

    Snickers My Valentine

    So I arrived home and got the mail, and what do I see first…. it’s a Valentine from Snickers!!!!  I was soooooo excited, I tore it open immediately and wanted to pose with it.  Thank you Miss Snickers, you gorgeous WFT, you, and YES I WILL BE YOUR VALENTINE!!!

    So much fun… gotta go have a power nap now.  I hear those are good for humans…

    Love,

    It was a TOUGH decision for me to pick my Valentines this year… mom gave me kind of a limit (ok, lets just say that there were going to be a LOT more packages going out, and since I didn’t become rich and famous and start bringing home the bacon – mmm, bacon – I had to limit myself).

    So this year my special gals are:

    Miss Sunshade the Superdale

    Miss Maggie

    Miss Lillie

    Miss Faya

    Miss Snickers

    I sent my packages this past week – I hope you get ‘em soon! My apologies if they arrive after the big day (of course that’s mom’s fault).

    But even tho I had to choose only a few, I want everyone to know that I LOVE ALL OF THE DOG BLOGGING LADIES, and will happily be the Valentine of anyone who asks.

    So to my Special Ladies, WILL YOU BE MY VALENTINE?

    Love,

    Sunshade Valentine

    To my beautiful dreamgirl,

    Today I received your Valentine’s Day card and my heart started thumping.  The fact that you had pawsonally signed it got me so excited…

    I know I’m not much of a poet or anything, but I did send off a little something to you as well… I hope you receive it soon and that you’ll be my Valentine!

    Sunshade Valentine Sunshade Valentine Sunshade Valentine

    After I opened your card, dad gave me a piece of roast beef – supposedly for us to “share”.  So first I bit off half, saving half for you, then it fell on my nose so I had to eat the whole thing.  I know you would understand.

    Love,

    Bogie's Bitches

    Mom is in the process of making a nice page with ALL of my Christmas cards on it because she got so behind in thanking everyone for the great cards!!!

    But I insisted on taking a special moment for my girl-Dales, Sunshade, Faya, and Maggie, and writing them a little love letter…

    Tonight I spent a little alone-time with their fantastic cards and lovely presents… you girls make me feel so special!!!

    Bogie's Bitches Bogie's Bitches Bogie's Bitches

    These were from my dreamgirl Sunshade my Canadian cutie, I cannot believe how beautiful and personal she made my card!

    Bogie's Bitches Bogie's Bitches

    And the “Airedale Taxi Service” sign is perfection!!!!! I’m completely over the moon for Miss Sunshade and think she was especially good at directing her mom and making amazing cards…

    Bogie's Bitches Bogie's Bitches Bogie's Bitches

    And this was from Faya, all the way from Switzerland!!! My European babe! I think she looks especially fetching with her Santa hat cocked jauntily to one side, don’t you? Thank you for the beautiful calendar, I wish Los Angeles was so pretty!!!!

    Bogie's Girls Bogie's Girls

    And of course who could forget my FANTASTIC Airedale ornament (looks just like me!!!) from Maggie! This has been the ONLY ornament on MY tree (yes I have my own little silver one – I’m not afraid of it anymore!) ever since I put up my tree. So I can look at it over and over and think of my pretty Aire-girl, Maggie.

    Bogie's Bitches

    Looks like I’ve got my ladies on many continents… girls you make my Aire-heart beat so much faster!!!!!

    You ever lovin’ man,

    Beautiful Miss Sunshade

    Ah Miss Sunshade, you’ve MADE MY DAY!!!

    I know you have so many admirers – worthy adversaries, all – who send you presents, write you poetry, and generally admire you as I do.  But it makes my heart sing to know that you think I’m special!!!!

    And yes of course I did some extra-special rolling on your card because you’re my special girl… until I can find that big box to send myself to you my dear…

    Love,

    Bogart on Halloween

    Ah my beautiful Aire-girl… seeing you in that wedding dress set my heart a-flutter. I was inspired to put on my top hat and whistle you a tune…

    Don’t mind my eyes being closed my dear, I’m just thinking of you (and trying to avoid the evil flash)…

    Alas, things on my head aren’t exactly my favorite thing. But for you – I kept it on long enough to take photos.

    If you ever want to try out that wedding dress for real – I’M YOUR MAN.

    Bogart on the Job

    Today mom had a “job interview”.  I wasn’t sure what this meant, so I tried to ask her… but her car broke down yesterday so we had to visit the mechanic before she could go.  So I had to wait to ask.

    Walter at Budget Auto Repair is one of our favorite people.  He’s German and a REAL mechanic.  He always fixes mom and dads cars so that they run really well (until they break down that is – but apparently this is always mom’s fault anyway).

    Well we got there and I got to see my girl Ferocious – loyal readers will remember her from posts awhile back, the last time that moms car broke down, when I introduced her as my latest squeeze.  Well she’s still as foxy as ever, so we played while the humans talked about spark plugs.

    I overheard mom talking about her interview and a light went on in my head.  Maybe it was time – since I’m such a big boy now – for me to go on a job interview.  I thought for a moment about what I was good at, what I could do to contribute to the household.  I asked Ferocious about her “job” – as autoshop guard dog – and had an “A-ha!” moment.  I could do that…

    My Girl Ferocious Bogart and Ferocious Bringing Home the Bacon Bogart on the Job

    Bogart on the Job Bogart on the Job Bogart on the Job

    So Ferocious started to show me the ropes.  She first had me walk the perimeter to stake out any evil-doers.  Then hiding around the cars was the next lesson.  Where to pee so that everyone knows you’re on duty is very important, so we worked on that for awhile.

    I think I may have it mom – I’ll be bringing home the bacon soon (mmm, b-a-c-o-n…)…

    Love,

    Bogart
