Awards and more....

OMDogness do I look mad in this picture? Well that's because I am, I don't know if it's our internet or blogger but we are having such a hard time posting and commenting on our friends blogs lately. Blogger needs to stop being a pain in the butt!

We would like to pass on these awards to any blog buddy who doesn't have them yet.

So as you may have read a few posts ago we are playing Paw it Forward. So our mom did some shopping and we are sending a package to our buddy Mack and his sisters. We won't show everything we are sending so that they will be surprised and they can blog about it.

One thing we will show is the treats we are sending because they are our favorite. Sweet Potato and Fish...yummm! Mack we shipped it today so be on the look out for the post man.

We didn't get a lot of players for our Paw it Forward because we think most of our blog buddies have already played. While mom was out shopping she saw this...

In our local weekly paper they had this cute doggy on the cover with the title "Feed the Need". Mom picked it up to read the article, but there wasn't really an article to read. Inside the paper they chose about 70 non-profit community organizations that need help raising money especially in these hard times. The organization acquainted with the cover picture was Animal Friends Rescue Project. They are a non-profit organization that helps animals. The paper is accepting donations and whichever organization we choose to donate to they will match our donation. So as part of our Paw it Forward we are donating some $$ to AFRP so that doggies without a home will be safe this holiday season. She was glad the paper decided to put this cute guy on the cover because as it got her attention she knows it will grab others and all the organizations will hopefully get the help they need.

Oakley wanted to do his part by sealing the envelope.

After getting our packages together we did a little Christmas decorating. We have a little tree because mom says she doesn't trust us with a big one. How rude! We have our stockings up with our names on them. This way Santa Paws can fill them up with the good stuff we each like.

We are sorry about the LOOONG post but since we have blogger cooperating we must take advantage.

We hope everyone is having a great week.

Paw It Forward

Hey everyblogger! We have been super behind on our blogging, but we think we are finally caught up. We haven't had much to post about, but this past weekend we got a package in the mail. We were super excited when mom came home from checking her Peeee O Box and said there was something addressed to us!

We saw the return address was from Sequoia and Tuni and we knew it was our Paw It Forward package. Mom put it down so we could get a good sniff.

Hmmmm what's inside? A card with two cute pug puppies that said "Friendship is the frosting on the cupcake of life"... isn't that pawesome?!?

Yay I got an envelope, yummm this thing is delicious, thanks Tuni and Sequoia.

Oh dear, Oakley, we got much more than an envelope, look at all this great stuff treats, and stockings with our pictures on them. Super cool! Mini tennis balls and yummy bones!

(note from mom: it was so hard to get them to sit still for the pictures and to get pictures of all the stuff together. They were having such a fun time with their new goodies)

Mom I'm sitting here for the damn...errr dang picture but I can't keep my eyes off the stuff. Hurry and get the picture before my brother takes something that I want first.

Yes a ball, I love to play with tennis balls. Thank you soooo sooo much Tuni and Sequoia for all the great stuff.

Bones our favorite!

So now it is our turn to Paw It Forward. You can leave us a comment telling us you want to play and we will take the first three who do. You can then email your address to us at Oakleyandswisher@gmail.com. We can't wait to go shopping with mom for some cool stuff.

Thanks again to Tuni and Sequoia and their mom of course for the presents.

We were given a few awards during our lack of bloggin but we will save those for another post as this one is already pretty long. We hope everyone is having a great week, getting ready for the big turkey day!

Sheer Determination

Hi everydog, (and human). It's Oakley here, the other night I found my toy monkey. He was already missing his leg and tail from other adventures and I thought it would be cool if he had no legs at all.

So I yanked.

And I pulled. (Note: If a human holds one end while you pull it's a little easier)

I took him up to the bed and chewed a bit, your slobber is essential in wearing stuffies down.

I kept at it for what seemed like hours.

Almost there I can hear it tearing.

Finally! I got the darn thing off.

Yummmm tastes like chicken. BOL.

Sweet sweet victory.

Hope everyone is having a great week.

The Only Bright Side-

The Yankees won the World Series, any other season my mom would be pretty bitter about this but this season she says there's a bright side. This guy....

he is Nick Swisher and he plays right field for the Yankees. He is the person mom named me after.

He started his career with my favorite team the Oakland A's, then was traded to the Chicago White Sox and then to NY. It was a sad day in my house when that happened. No matter our feelings against the Yankees we think Swisher is a great guy and a good ballplayer so the only bright side in the Yankee victory for us is that Nick is a champion.

This is a picture with me and moms Swisher shirts. She doesn't own his Yankee one though she thinks it would make her skin melt off. (She's a bit dramatic) bol. Until next season baseball fans!

Happy Howl-o-ween!

We would like to wish everydog and human a Happy Howl-o-ween. Can you tell what our costumes are?

Oakley is a prisoner. He's been naughty one too many times we guess.

Swisher is a doctor, he has to do surgery on all the stuffies that Oakley destroys. Mom also says he needs to make the big bucks to get his brother out on bail. BOL.

Oakley is not big on wearing the hat.

Someone get me outta here. I'll be good I promise.

Paging Dr. Swishie!

We hope everydoggy has a good and safe Howl-o-ween and gets yummy treats.

Lots of Licks--
