Paw It Forward Monday

We received a package in the mail from our pupfuriends across the big pond, the Dughallmor Beagles. The box was just filled with some wonderful things for everyone. The beagles' Mom was worried because it took so long for it to get here, but we think it just got delayed on the pony express mail service we have here.

Thunder has to spend his day at the groomer's today so Mom let him sniff out everything before he had to leave.



Looks like he has his eyes (and snooter) on one of those crocodiles.



Here is what they wrote in their sweet card. Click on the photo if you need to bigify it.



And a closeup of the cute card, a lovely bar of homemade soap for Mom, cherry-flavored, and some yummy baked cheese wedges for the OP Pack.



And take a look at this trio of crocs. TD and Phantom are anxious to sink their teeth into them.



A new tennis ball, Thunder is thrilled - he just loves balls. And look at those blue eyeballs on some more tennis balls AND a rope - great toy for Phantom and Mom to play tug.



And how about this well-dressed hot dog - complete with all the trimmings
AND a squeaker inside too!!! Mom wonders how long it will be before it is devoured or destuffed and desqueaked.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, WE LOVE YOU BEAGLES.


Here are the rules. "The exchange focuses on doing an act of kindness without expecting anything in return other than that the recipient may, in their turn, pass the kindness along and 'paw it forward' in their own way. This is how it works... We are going to tweak the rules a little bit. We would like to send a contribution to the rescue organization of their choice in the name of the first 3 blog owners who post a comment on this entry. In turn, IF those three blog owners would like to continue to Paw It Forward (there is no obligation to do so), you will then post about this on your blog, link to us, then send something to the first three people who sign up to play along through your blog. There are no cost restraints, BUT don't go crazy! The little something you send can be something you made, bought, were given or found. No biggie, just a gift that will make the person smile. Maybe something unique from where you live? And, remember that kindness doesn't have to involve money; there are untold ways to help others every single day, everywhere you go - just look around." SO PAW IT FORWARD...

Thanks to all for all the good thoughts for Phantom. He is scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning. We will post an update once we hear from the surgeon, but we don't expect to have a pathology report until at least the end of the week. Keep that good zen coming.

Woos, the OP Pack
