Ooh, A Big Parcel....And Where's Petey?

Remember this? Mason Dixie's contest to design a blog award? Well, this was one of our two entries, The High Five Club award featuring Snoop's furry cute paw....and it won! Thanks once again to those who voted for us and to Mason for running a cool contest :o)

So look what arrived this morning....

....a huge parcel of loot from Mason! Come on, let's see what's inside....

....an envelope to us from Mason Dixie, looks like she signed it with her own paws too, she's so thoughtful!

Inside the envelope a very cute picture of Mason....stop drooling Alf, you'll get it wet!

Literally millions of treats....WOW!! Stop drooling Gabbi, we'll open them soon!

Mmmm, sweet potato chips, Alaska Salmon bites, (love the Sibe packaging :D) some Goodlife chews and oh man....Pup-peroni! We got a little taster of everything....

First the Pup-peroni....oooh, so good!

Next, the Yummy Chummie fishy bites....

....they were so good we got two tastes :D

And then we each got a sweet potato chip to chew on....yummy....Gabbi drooled on Mum's sleeve, haha!

So what else is in the box? Well, we got these beautiful handmade glass magnets and pendants....and they've got us on them! The top two are magnets so we can put notes to Mum on the fridge, like "steak for tea please" or "remember to go to butcher"....special walkie requests....stuff like that.

The one at the bottom is a cool pendant with all of us on it and the two bluish coloured ones are special pendants, one with Alfie on it and the other with dear Mason Dixie on it....Alfie wore Mason's one on his collar for a while but Mum took it off before we went out incase he lost or broke it.

And the piéce de resistance....a beautiful photo collage of Mason, she even put a snooter shot on, we love it! (We may have to laminate it for Alfie though.)

Thank you sweet Mason for all the wonderful gifts!

So, after all the excitement....Rosie settled down at the window....moping for Petey. Alfie tried to console her, but no.

Can we go and look for him Mum? He said he was going to the country....maybe he meant this country? Well, okay...but it's warm and sunny outside so i'll have to dress for the weather. Shorts? Check. T-shirt? Check. Shades? Check. Shadow? Yep! Right, let's go....

Oooh, tennis ball fuzz, this looks promising....

We seek him here....we seek him there....

We looked in the woods. See how we're doing our best AO4 walkin'?

We even asked the ants! (These anthills are all over the woods, they're like mini volcanoes and when the sun shines on them they erupt into busy life. Alfie likes to extinguish them!)

We scanned the beach.....nope, he's not here! Maybe he did a detour to Florida to pick Jake up....Gabbi lives in hope! Ooh, perhaps they're waiting for Mason to catch up....she said she'd try to swim to Alfie!

We looked in the sea incase he's trying to swim to Rosie.

We even scanned the skies for AireRuby....but all we saw were some geese....

....and the moon! (The trees provided a lovely natural frame but Mum's daft camera didn't pick it up well!)

Hmmph! No Petey. No Jake. No Mason. Dangsarn it!

Alfie gets frustrated when the girls are on leads, no-one to play with....

....he torments and taunts them with play bows and noise....

....and then loses his marbles!

Tootles!
