A surprise from Maggie & Mitch

G'day Maties,

After all the excitement of Stanley's package arriving on Tuesday we got another surprise the very next day. Blimey, talk about surprise....it was a package from Maggie & Mitch...I tell ya, this was totally unexpected. You guys are so kind to think of us down here. We sat in anticipation while D helped us open it up. The first thing we saw was this most wonderful dish that Maggie & Mitch's mum made. An airedale dish and it's fantastic. Of course we aren't allowed to touch it. There was more inside the package...tennis balls of various colours, stuffy bones and a corn that is good for chewing.....yum bacon flavoured. Here are some pics of the Leuradales enjoying their surprise.

Lucy was so excited she started counter surfing....naughty girl. After playing with our new toys we were totally exhausted. Gosh we've had such a great week. We feel really spoilt.

We hope everyone had a great National Stuffie Appreciation Day.

Hugs and tail wags

Miss Congeniality Award

G'day Maties,

First of all I want to thank my friend Stanley for the package that arrived in the mail today. I won the Miss Congeniality Award in the first ever annual Gooberstanian Beard Growing Competition. Stanley, you, Stella and your girl are very generous, thanks matie, I really love it. We're going to the Million Paws walk in a couple of weeks and we're each going to wear one of the great bandanas that you sent. My sissies have already picked which one they want. We really love the magnet with your piccie on it and the photo of you running with your tongue hanging out. Good shot buddy.

Tess thought she'd check out the prize too. This black tubey thing is used in dairy farming. Hey Stanley, Bryan told me that because he grew up on a farm in NZ. At first he couldn't work out why it was there haa haa haaa. Excellent matie!!! The beef puff was fantastic. I've already eaten it. Wonder how it got past the beagles at Sydney Airport.

Lastly May 8th is Mr T-Bone Beasley's National Stuffie Appreciation Day. What an honour to all stuffies. Here is a group shot of the stuffies that live with us. That is our original stuffie Terry on the far left, then we've got monkey boy at the back, Noah junior on the right and Baby Noah in front.

Have a great week everyone.

Hugs and tail wags
