Merci Beaucoup on Monday

And the heat goes on and on and on . . .



So what's a pup to do? How about getting some important and overdo business taken care of? We have some very special blogging furiends to thank for showering us with goodness and goodies.



Honey the beautiful Great Dane and her human Hsin-Yi,who are now living in Australia, thought that Phantom might like to have some tasty fish biscuits to sprinkle on his food to entice him to eat.





You can see his snooter smelled that fishy smell right away - he thinks it smells pretty tasty.




But what's this? It really has a very distinctive smell - it is a package of Roo Chews. Honey thought it would be nice to send something for all of us to enjoy. Let us tell you these Roo Chews are really good - Mom says they are really stinky, but we say that is what makes them so yummy!!!




Thank you, Honey and Hsin-Yi - that was so very nice of you to think of me. Mom says that a number of you have been asking in the comments and in emails how I am doing. She always hesitates to say much about my health and my eating because every time she tells you I am doing well, it seems to jinx me. She says maybe you should just judge by how happy I am looking in my pics. Between all that metronidazole the vet gave me and my daily intake of that prescription diet gastrointestinal canned food (when I am willing to eat it), I have been eating better. Of course, we have also gotten by the worst of our bad storm season too. Mom says I could eat a whole lot more, but she will be happy with some.

The Five Sibes sponsored a Patriotic Pets Photo Contest as part of their 4th of July celebration, and we won the Creative Concept Award for our entry (for which we have to thank our good friend Ann of Zoolatry). You can see all the winners on the Five Sibes post HERE.

This was our entry:



And here we are admiring our pressies from the Five Sibes:




Phantom thought you might like a closeup.





Look who laid claim to the purple and blue tennis balls. BOTH of them.



This one tastes pretty good.




Maybe I should try this one too.





This one?






Or this one?



We made a little video for you to see what we sibes do with balls. Fetch is not in our vocabulary, but we do love to chew. And just for you, Mayor Frankie Furter, you can get a glimpse of a part of the Momster for your special event "Fur Furfolks Eyes Only". This might be the best we can do - she is very careful about allowing us to snag any good photos.




So did you see those long and skinny feet the Momster has? REALLY long and REALLY skinny!!!

Many thanks to Honey, Hsin-Yi, the Five Sibes, and their Mom for our wonderful gifts!!! Merci beaucoup!!! Now if only we could figure out how to get Mother Nature to send us some mercy and let up on this heat.

Oh, were you wondering where Thunder is today?


Just getting my handsomeness rest:)

Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara
