Thankful Thursday




Pigs and chickens and ducks and corn!!! What's it all about?

Well, we are very late in giving thanks to some very nice furiends who have gifted us with some wonderful things.

First up, our friends Mochi and Bali surprised us with some very tasty goodies to tempt Phantom to eat.



Chicken Furikake and Chicken Jerky - 100% chicken breast with no preservatives and no salt or sugar added. The furikake is like pulverized chicken breast powder that we sprinkle on Phantom's kibble. It does help encourage him to eat on some of his better days. We all love the chicken jerky even if the Momster is pretty stingy on the size of our portions. Thank you,
Mochi, Bali, and Mom Sherri. That was such a kind and thoughtful thing for you to do for us.



Our next round of thanks goes to The Slimmer Pugs who sponsored a random drawing for a pink piggy and a blue piggy. Thunder was the lucky winner of Mr. Blue.




Thunder: What is this thing, Ciara?

Ciara: Not so sure, TD.



Do you want to see our first reactions to Mr. Blue?


We thought you might like that, so here is a little video of Thunder and Ciara and their initial reaction to the new arrival.





And last, but definitely not least, the wonderful White Dog Army had a trivia contest. The Momster was the lucky winner of a fantastic package. Look at what came in the mail:


TWENTY - yes, 10 + 10 - packets of movie time popcorn to go along with the DVD of Eight Below - a super movie about some beautiful dogs that look a lot like us:) AND a huge bag of duck jerky that is great for dogs with allergic or sensitive digestions - sounds perfect for us. It smells so good that the Momster says she just might have to try it herself.

When Mom wrote to the White Dog Army's human to tell her that we would rather she use the money she was going to spend on our present to send to help those suffering in Japan, she wrote back and said it was too late, the package was already on its way. But in the spirit of love and generosity that is inherent to the WDA's family, they ALSO sent a donation in our name to one of the organization's helping the Japanese. How awesome is that!!!




Picky Boy Phantom took a quick lick - look at his googly eyes - he can't wait to taste it!




He is SO spoiled - he got a taste of both the chicken jerky AND the duck jerky.






You can see for yourselves how much he loved it.



Of course, he is a very sharing brother.
Here we all are waiting for a taste of the yummies.


Many thanks to Mochi and Bali, The Slimmer Pugs, and The White Dog Army for their friendship and kindness.


Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara

  1. Wow wee - are you some lucky dogs !! Those are pawsome goodies you won - not sure about the piggy though, seems like it would be rather noisy. My folks get annoyed at the "IT" when he plays with his mooing cow - especially when they are trying to watch the news.

  5. Wow...you got lots of goodies. That piggy is too cute. You should see Bokeh's head tilting away wanting to see what is going on.

    The WD family is SO nice, it doesn't shock me that they donated as well.

    You have some great friends and I'm glad to see that Phantom enjoyed the treats. :)

  12. what very lucky dogs you are? and momster too for getting all that popcorn, can i come over for a movie night? i really enjoyed the video of Thunder, Ciara and the piggy, Thunder acted just like Scamp would have, backing away and sidewards barking at piggy, hope they get use to it and have fun with him, also its good to see Phantom eating,

  13. That little blue pig is so cute! I imagine my little ones reacting to it the same way. They do like squeaky toys but they have to be very small and light.

    Congrats on all the goodies! I miss getting good stuff in the mail, haven't gotten anything in awhile. I won a contest last week so maybe I'll have it when I go to check the mail tomorrow.

    Did you hear that Japan had another earthquake? It was on the radio this morning. So sad, considering they just barely had one and now they get hit with another one.

    How generous of you to ask that money be sent to Japan in your name in leiu of a prize. And how generous of White Dog Army's human to still donate even though she'd already sent out the package.

  14. I don't blame their reactions to the pig since it sounded just like Kiska on some of her days. And all the pups know that when they hear that from Kiska, it is time to leave the room. Just saying.

  15. Yum that looks good! Phantom, why are you picky? Aren't you feeling well?

    ReplyDelete
  16. The lucky pups of OP! Enjoy every bit of that and especially that cute little porker.

    Kisses,

  21. Gotta watch out for those crazy loud feral blue piggies, Thunder and Ciara! Glad a little jerky helped ease the trauma of his "attack!"

    It was wonderful to see Phantom show enthusiasm for the chicken and duck jerkies. Indulge sweet boy and put some weight on!

    We all love popcorn here and on movie night, if dad is very VERY generous, he makes 2 bags for us all to share!

    Japan needs all the help we can muster and today they got slammed again! We were glad to help the relief efforts.
