We farewell our trusty car.....

G'day maties
First of all we want to apologise for being slack and not getting around to all your blogs. We've been meaning too but something always comes up and we get sidetracked.

Yesterday was D's birthday and they went out after work to celebrate with friends. D had a great day compared to today.......Today has started out not so great.

B was on his way to the supermarket nice and early when something flicked up under the car causing some petrol to spill out. Before he knew it the whole car was on fire. Don't worry, B is ok and that is the main thing after all it's only a car. Our faithful car is no more.
D & B have borrowed the neighbours car (thanks so much Sue & Ron, we truly appreciate your kindness!!!) and are off to Sydney to see what car would suit them and 4 dales best.
See what I mean by something always comes up to interrupt our blogging!!!
This morning we had some very sad news about our good friend Kaj the airedale who has crossed the rainbow bridge. Kaj was a dale from Serbia who we've known via Planet Airedale for years. We will never forget you buddy and we have your mum Ruzica in our thoughts and prayers.
Anyway, we promise to get to all blogs soon. Hope everyone is having a good week.

Oh NOAH!! I'm sorry, but I LAUGHED when I read that your car burned down! Perhaps I need therapy!! Of course my Uncle Bryan and you all are unhurt, so that's all that matters to me. Does that mean the MINI COOPER is on the cards now?!

I did NOT laugh when I heard about your friend...so sorry, mate. My mum says it's just so awful.
More later...love from Colin Harriesxx

Bummer about your car, Noah. Sounds pretty exciting to burn up your whole car.

Sorry about the old dale friend - life is short, isn't it.

You look very handsome in that photo - like your black ears.

cheers,
Ruby

Thank doG your dad wasn't hurt! So a new Noahmobile is in the works! You'll have to let us know which color you chose, Noah!

The car story sounds impressive, something from the movies, mum says.
We can recommend the Airebus as a replacement vehicle.
Sad to hear of the passing of your Dale friend. We consider any Dale (known or not) is a friend of ours so we feel the sting in our hearts, too.
Take care,
Inky and Molly

Hey, mum asks where you got the Santa outfit on your profile image from. Apparently she needs one...
So please head over to our blog and shoot us a message. Thanks, Noah.

Love, I&M

That is super scary to read even though everybody is OK. Momma always worries there will be car issues when I am in and it would be bad because getting me out and calm, well.

Maybe you can get a giant dog crate on wheels like my mastiff mobile.

Mom's Alfa 164 did that some years ago - nothing says good morning like flames khoming out of the bonnet!

Glad no one was hurt!

Deetz said...

We are so thankful no one was hurt and don't you just love the smell of a new car, it will be glorious!
Thanks to your neighbors for helping out with a loaner....One more airdale in Heaven will make for a brighter sky, even though they are dearly missed here. I wish I could have met her before she went on to the bridge.

But having no car is a total bummer!
We are so sorry about your friend Kaj. It is so sad when our friends leave us. But comforting to remember they are in a (much) better place.

Oh doggie, this wasn't a very happy read. We're sad about your car.... but happy no one was hurt. Maybe good things will come from that flareup. We're also really sad to read about Kaj. It makes our family hurt whenever they know another doggie has gone to the Bridge. Please let Kaj's family our love.

We care,
Jake and Fergi

Stanley said...

SO STINKIN' GLAD B is okay, even if the trusty DaleMobile isn't. Word on the street is that you're getting a FAB new Volvo. If you need me to send some goober juice to help christen it just let me know.

We'll be thihnking about Ruzica as she grieves for Kaj. Sometimes my girl just starts crying and we know she's missing her RosieDale (and it's been 3 years since she crossed the bridge).

Run like the wind, Raj!

Goober love & smooches,
Stanley

Happy belated birthday to D!

Hope you get a nice new car!

Hollie and Janie said...

I bet that was scary for B! I'm glad he is okay!! Mama's car was stolen last summer, and so we had to get a new car. But it's even better because it can hold lots of 'dales and I have my own a/c in the back! I am so sorry about your friend!!!!
Love,
Janie

Baby Rocket Dog and Hootie said...

We are SOOOooo happy to hear that D is not hurt. Wow, that must have been scarey. Hope she had a happy birthday in spite of that awful occurance. Now she gets a new car for her birthday too!! That's cool.

Sorry your friend Kaj passed. Our sympathy to you & her mum.

Have a good weekend and help your mommy find a nice big car!!

Persephone and Buster said...

Yikes! A spontaneously-combusting car? We're awfully glad your dad-lackey's okay! That happened to our male human servant once--with a Renault. It had a manual choke cable that was routed through the ignition wiring, and the inevitable happened.

Guess it's time for a new Dale-mobile! We suggest that B look into a BMW Z4--after all, you guys deserve something that can push the envelope!

Cheers,

Sephie, Bozo & Bailey

Marvin said...

oh my, so sorry to read about your Dad and the burning car.

Really glad to find out he is safe!

Was it spontaneous combustion? You will have to watch him very carefully in the kitchen.............

Seriously, that must have been very frightening. I hope they find a suitable car soon for you all to fit in!!

Jeannie and Marvin said...

ooooops Happy Birthday to D. Belated but happy wishes all the same.

Sorry to read about your friend though, Kaj.

Many sad licks to you all.

My it seems yours flamed out about the same time as mine! En unison international.

Daddy wants another truck but Mommy wants a sports car. Mommy almost always wins.

Oh heck Noah, that must have been super scary for B. We sure are pleased he is safe to face another day with Taffy!

We remember Kaj, how very sad he has now gone to the Rainbow Bridge.

We are glad that no one got hurt when the car caught fire.

Happy Belated Birthday to D and we are sorry to read about Kaj.

William Tell said...

Hey, setting a car on fire is a new one for me. I hadn't thought of that yet. Hope you get real snazzy wheels so you can ride in style, though I know you'll miss the old one.

And it's nice to remember those great ones who have passed over the bridge. We hope Kaj's family has many happy memories of their time with him.

Happy Tails,
William Tell
