Red and Islay here!
What a sorpresa! :apls:
It´s incredible, Rudy, Brandy and Aunty Barb do magic and the Treat Fairy speaks Spanish!!!! She found her way here this morning all the way from Texas and our Mummy made us wait till Daddy was home before we opened the HUUUUGE box. There are millions and trillions of amazing toys and treaties for us, it smells soooo good. Mummy and Daddy have special Texas treaties and more super stuff to play with too, if they could wag their tails, they´d be really wagging them now too!
We are driving from Spain to Scotland for a month tomorrow to check out the lochs and glens and have so many wonderful things to go in OUR luggage, Mummy can´t take any clothes ´cos our treats and toys are much more important. If we can go nekkid, reckon she can too....
Aunty Barb sent me - Red - a great magic wizard cape but Mummy says she´s going to use it for cooking......I think it fits me better and will help me magic the Treat Box to the next lucky puppers.
Little Islay played so much she was all tuckered out - so was I - but I wasn´t too tuckered to sneak a biscuit corner Daddy had left on the poof "out of my reach" (he didn´t count with my looong tongue). I lost a bit of one before on the sofa and Islay ate it from where it had slipped onto my back!
Hope you like the piccies - sorry Mummy can´t get them inbetween the comments... :dontknow:
Brandy, Rudy and Aunty Barb - we are in heaven, thank you all very, very mucho for everything. We´re having a ball!
We´re having so much fun - treat boxies are the bestest thing can happen to doxies!!
WOW, WOW, WOW!! That is so awesome!! Treat fairies are the best!! Looks like you two made out!
We´re sooo tired now, we´ll pack away tomorrow....
And so to sleep (but we´re still guarding everything, just in case....)
The pictures are absolutely precious!!! Looks like you guys really scored!!!
Did we say the super-butch Harley Davidson collar is from Aunty Barb too - great for Red´s street cred.!
The pretty-as-a-Princess pink Diamante collar Islay is modelling was sent by Rudy and Brandy too and it fits like a dream - it has to be magic, how did they know all our sizes and favourites if it´s not?
The treatie box will travel through Spain, France and England with us to Scotland and will leave Scotland next week to some very special puppers - somewhere.......keep checking your post box pawpals!

Hi Patty!
We´re stunned, this is like a trillion Christmasses and birthdays wrapped into one and the best surprise just before we go on holiday.
That bow-wow sounds great, we´ve got doggie pet passports and are checking the airmile situation as we write. Your neck of the woods would suit us fine, too much sun here for us, hope we can make it.
Give our love to Dan and to the boyz.
Hey, how do you get into Scotland? Are they a quarantine place like England used to be? That's SO COOL!!! :headbang:
In 2001 I flew from Maryland to Los Angeles to meet my hoomans and our dog Cooper (he was a border collie/lab who went to the bridge la August :crybaby2:) and then we all drove back across the US to Maryland.
This summer Da Herd and I goin' to Chattanooga an' campin' with our hooman, Karen. :apls: So I guess I've got a lot of frequent pupper miles on me! :thumb:
We'll be gone from August 13 to August 20. I sure hope the Treat Faeries can read schedules! I don't wanna miss our treat box!

It would be so cool if you guys could make it to Alaska! I don't think the bow-wow will happen in 2008, but probably 2009. That gives everyone plenty of time to plan and save up some spending $$$. When we had the big bow-wow picnic in DD's backyard, I think there was 12 people and 15 doxies. I brought Misty and she was so into it, she had a great time. I am so glad I had that fun time with her, as she is now at the Bridge.
Woohoo! Well, Red and Islay - Brekke wants you to know that she thinks you'll love the Buddy Biscuits - she couldn't help but notice them in your deluge of goodies! Enjoy your treats and your vacation!
P.S. Brekke also says you might want to let your hoomom wear that apron, because she might cook or bake some goodies for you two!
We are so 'cited that you got the box !!! Woo hoo - mom checked yesterday to see where it was....and she was excited too because it said had been delivered to Spain !!! We tried really hard to make mom share some of dat stuff wid us....but she said nope - it was going to Spain !!! Enjoy !!!
Barb here - so glad it made it !!! I had a blast putting it together !
Have a wonderful month - I am so glad it made it before you leave !!!
Thanks for sharing all the pics - smoochies to Red and Islay !
WOW! You two SCORED big time! Aunty Barb is soooooo generous! Hey! I noticed you got some Buddy Biscuits made by Cloud Star. That's a local product around here. When I lived in Santa Maria briefly, I worked for this very mom and pop business. I was truly their FIRST employee. When we moved, I couldn't make the commute and had to resign but boy howdy, they have REALLY grown. A home grown business gone GOOD right here in Central Coast CA.

Hi Guiness - are you from Ireland, like the drink?
We get to Scotland with no problems ´cos we´ve got international Pet Passports under the PETS scheme - takes about a year to get one, have to have your rabies jabs, then an antibody test 6 months after, then get a sepcial certificate, then your vet fills out the passport with the most handsome photo you have and lots of stickers. Once you have the passport, all you do is get Karen to take you to an Airport or by car like we do (we drive from here in Spain through France to the Eurotunnel and through the tunnel to England, then all the way up England to Scotland) and show the Customs that you have your passport and they see the stickers that the rabies antibodies are o.k. and you have tick & tapeworm treatments done 36 hrs before entering the U.K. Easy!!!!
Your trip sounds fun, Mum Andrea says your Mum Karen must be a miracle Mum to travel with you all because sometimes she falls over us and we´re only two....
Don´t worry about the treat fairy, she´s does magic and knows all our schedules, vital statistics (embarrassing) etc.
Slurps to you all from Spain - we´ll try a drop of Guiness for you when we get to Scotland - we´re going on the ferry to Ireland for a day out from Stranraer.

Hi Brekke
You´re right about the biccies, they´re delicious, if a little small - told Mum we need a handfull at a time....and don´t worry, she´s in the kitchen this very moment in MY apron and cooking up something crunchy.
slurpy hugs from Spain

The biccies are terrific - told Mum we need handfulls to get a decent portion though.....great you got them started on the right track. Must have been heaven working in a doggie biscuit place, what perks!
Have a great weekend, hugs to the hooligans and to Sandi from both of us and Mum Andrea
