What we do the best Part One

We have been naughty...no not our usual naughtiness but we have not been here for such a long time so here we are..... we will spend some time catching up with all of you as we miss you!! We are all very sad about Butchy so we thought we needed  cheering up and do the thing we do the best..

GO TO THE ARBORETUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everything is so lush( IT HAS BEEN RAINING FOR 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS THAT IS WHY)

The boys were ahead of the girls

Don't worry we caught up

A DOUBLE DIG

We has a very bad winter and we saw a lot of trees down
Here is the action shot first of the season.

PL2 and I love rhodies......

Another double dig.......I am not fat just have to get a hair cut...(just saying)

MY TREE STUMP FROM LAST YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY BROTHER  trying to worm his way INTO MY TREE STUMP at the same time.....(no we didn't get stuck)

KING OF THE HILL( I think he looks loaded....)

We have a million more pictures and didn't want to overload you( Archie was worried that because you haven't seen us in awhile it might push you over the edge) so they will be part two

For our darling Butchy

Our darling boy Butchy is crossing over the Bridge today. He will be met by his darling sister Snickers and all of our pals and friends that are there. He knows we will take care his Mama and Papa and Katy. So at 5 pm today send a kiss up to help Butchy feel all of our love and to help give his Mama strength. We have very very sad and heavy hearts today and words can not adequately day what we feel, but we think this Navajo prayer says it all....... God speed little buddy.....

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there, I do not sleep. 

I am in a thousand winds that blow, 

I am the softly falling snow.

I am the gentle showers of rain, 

I am the fields of ripening grain.

I am in the morning hush, 

I am in the graceful rush 

Of beautiful birds in circling flight, 

I am the starshine of the night. 

I am in the flowers that bloom, 

I am in a quiet room. 

I am in the birds that sing,

I am in each lovely thing. 

Do not stand at my grave and cry, 

I am not there. I do not die.

The Royal Wedding

Archie here....Listen we are all abuzz over the Royal Wedding as we are going to be attending...We being a large fox terrier delegation and some friends........ And our pal Eric is planning the whole thing for us.... You will be able to see pictures HOT OFF OF THE PRESS at Astas........... Our pal Eric has set the whole thing up(even where our tent is going to be on route.) WE are so excited we can't wait!! Archie of course with his amazing skills was asked by Prince Charles to do a little music so he is going to play both the tuba and accordion at the same time( Aunt Ami did this picture of him She is the only one he will sit still for)Really he has been practicing this for MONTHS......

Agatha is not writing( like she usually does  and hogs it all the time) as she simply can not decide what to wear... and here is a little secret.. She was asked to help design THE GOWN!! All Iknow is that it has real dog bones sewn into it all over the dress. She was a little worried because it has been a bit rainy here and she may have gotten a little bit of mud on the dress but really who will see it...

Yes of course I will be wearing my Prince outfit to one of the twelve thousand events......

Well of COURSE i will be wearing this...

She thought her Princess outfit would fit right in......

She has to get her Chanel dress in somewhere

A boy can't go wrong with a bow tie...........

TA DA ITS SPRING!!!!!!!!



Well it took its time but spring is finally here!! Look at this pretty island!!! 





And we LOVE forsythia!!!



So I was hanging out (on the pillow. It makes me look higher plus SO much more comfortable)and thinking what should we do on this lovely day.





(I have been in a bit of a quandary as one of my toys is on top of that bookcase and I CAN NOT figure out how to get it........)PL1 gave us a bath and a cut... so we had to do the following........





AND we got LOVELY new collars.You can't really see mine as I kept moving and PL2 gave up but it has peace and love signs on it...





Archie's has little bones on his..And of course what better thing to do on a spring day but PLAY TENNIS!!!! Archie as you can see below is REALLY into this....and I play in my own little way...






Another sure sign of spring?? THE BOSTON MARATHON!! Here are Archie and PL1 watching the runners.... Well PL1 is watching it.. Arch is kind of looking the wrong way... Some fellows from Kenya won and two of them(first and second place) in BROKE A RECORD!!!!(Archie says he trained them but I am not 100% sure about this...)

 

Well we are thrilled to pieces that spring is here... have lots to look forward to(the Red Sox getting better, the Celtics in the playoffs, and the Bruins.... GEESH who thought they would come back!!!!.......) We are going to do some earthdog!!!  and PL2 is going to look into tracking classes( it will be like Sherlock Holmes)WOOHOO so I must soon start my training with my coach/ brother.. if I can get him away from the  TV and the new show about cupcakes......

YOO HOOO!!! We are back in full force!!!!!!!

HELLOOOOOOOO!! Here we are back after a long long winter.......This was a very cold and snowy one but things are looking up..we are back to having adventures, the Boston Marathon is this Monday and the Red Sox are playing(if you want to call it that...) Sooooooo for our first adventure, we ran into the car with PL1+2 and went to THE FARM!!!!!!!!!! Now many of you know that PL1+2 get vegetables every summer.This winter they also got a winter share and they had to go and get the second to the last bunch of stuff AND WE GOT TO GO!!!!!! Now the farm kind of doesn't look like a working farm yet but Arch and I thought we had better check it out....

Arch was looking for our farmer buddy Chris but he couldn't see him.....

I said forget that THIS PLACE SMELLS FABULOUS LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arch thought he heard something under this thing....(Pl2 was having a bird thinking WHAT IF IT MOVES OR SOMETHING(we really are city folk)

HA HAHAHAHAH WHAT IF HE DID GET STUCK!!!!!!

I of course had no time for that There was lots of other stuff to do......

Oh man the things I could do with this........

DID YOU SMELL THAT????????????

We have no idea what this is but we LOVE the color(Arch thought it was a giant funnel for Lacies smoothies)

WHOA DID YOU SMELL THAT?????????

You might be wondering what is in a winter share? Wellll we got onions and potatoes and THIS dried black beans!!!!

AND POPCORN!!!!! great to catch mid air while they are eating it.. SOME of us are very good at it and SOME of us aren't

and if that was not enough we went to the egg place.. What is an egg place? They have chickens and eggs and stuff(PL2 doesn't like to look at all the chickens and stuff cuz then she can't eat the chicken(told ya... city folk...) but there was something AMAZING there that I saw..

I really had to stretch to see........

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?????BUT THE AMAZING THING IS   THERE IS ONE ROACHING IN THE GRASS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arch check this out.....

I AM NOT KIDDING...... CHECK THIS OUT .....WHAT THE..................

WTF?????????????????????????????? Hooo doggy this kid is not the most attractive.... PL1 was filming cuz we weren't allowed down there(well really couldn't you just see it?)

And then we came home and here we are waiting for our popcorn... except she hasn't even popped it  yet......We will be around a lot more with all of our fabulous adventures including Archie attempts at eating a Chapstick.......... HAPPY SPRING DEAR PALS!!!!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???????????????????????????????

ALMOST A MONTH?????WE HAVEN'T BEEN HERE IN ALMOST A MONTH???? Geesh,although not a lot has been happening here cuz it has been FREEZING.We thought it was warming up and we have seen crocuses and daffs's little heads poke up.. and then today it is 23 degrees..... SO we have not been our usual active selves.. We thought we would fill you in what we have been doing this last month....

Archie loves to help out PL2 with the chores and told her he would help with the laundry

Happens every time.....

We like to help out in the kitchen and of course do ALOT of taste tasting when PL2 cooks....

Well.............A girl needs her beauty sleep

Apparently so does a boy.......We look like little brown puff balls as we need a bath and we need a grooming but they say they are waiting for the weather to warm up a little( yeah right..)

I am always on the alert for outside activities

Arch thought he would catch up on a little reading this winter...

And really tried to digest it......

I need ALOTof beauty sleep.. its isn't easy you know...

Apparently he does too....

A good stuffie always helps.....

                                                     He always likes a good stuffie as well........



Hopefully it will start to get warm soon.... And very soon baseball is going to start and.. THE BOSTON MARATHON(we aren't running this year.......) Happy Spring dear pals.......
