Amazing pressies from our best pal Gus!

JD - We have had SUCH a fun few days!

Max - It all started when our neighbours brought round a parcel they had taken in for us. They were very apologetic as they'd had it for nearly a week!!

JD - But the main thing was that we finally got it! Gosh, we were SO excited when we saw our names on it - who could it be from?!

Max - *Sniff! Sniff!* "This smells schnauzer-ish JD, I think it's from one of our blog pals!"
JD - "Oh wow, oh wow, OH WOW!"

Max - We opened the parcel and immediately pulled out a note! It was from Gus, our great and extremely handsome black schnauzer pal from across that big pond thingy!

JD - He explained that his FH had made some gifts especially for our FH and that he had paw-picked some gifts especially for us. Well, we were beside ourselves!

JD - "Oooh, doesn't Gus have wonderful paw-writing Max?!"
Max - "He's obviously a pup of many talents JD!"

Max - The first item we pulled out of the parcel was a bag of noms!

JD - Milk bone biccie noms - they smelled GOOD!

"Open, open, OPEN!!"

JD - "NOM!"
Max - "I want one, I want one, I WANT ONE!"

Max - "At last - NOM!"
JD - "Best just check for crumbs....!"

Max - FH always rations any new noms - sigh, she's SO militant!

JD - So we turned our attention to the next wonderful item out of the parcel - a new stuffie each!

JD - "FH gave me the goose that she said matched my collar!"

Max - "Ooh, ooh! JD, JD!! The geese squeak! They do, they really do! Go on, press it with your nose, it's really fun!"

Max - "Um, I think you'll find you've got MY goose there bro' - hand it over!!"

Max - "Grumble! I'm taking MY goose off the sofa so JD doesn't try to STEAL it again - humph!"

Max - There was also a new doggie tennis ball in the parcel for us!

Max - "S'alright JD - I'm QUITE happy to try the ball out for you. No no - no need to thank me!"

Max - "Surrounded by our new goodies - now THIS is living!"

JD - We told FH we were more than happy to check out her gifts too - we're kind like that!

JD - "Oooh, cool bag FH! Did you put our milk bones in here - hang on, just let me double-check....!"

Max - Look at this cute bag that Gus's FH made for our FH! FH can't even sew a button on straight so she's so impressed at how talented Gus's human is!

One side of the bag with a cute button and bow detail!

Max - "Here's me enhancing the button detail!"

The other side of the bag with a cute black doggie and bone detail!

Max - "And here's me enhancing the cute doggie and bone detail too, he he he!"

This detail proves that we have a 'Designer Gus' exclusive product! The black doggie with the red bow is so cute and look - Gus even had the bone engraved with the message 'best friend'! That Gus - he's SO cool! He's the best pal a couple of doggies could have!

Max - Gus's FH also made a cosmetic bag with some cute doggie material!

A close-up of the cute doggie material!

Max - "Eh? What do you mean it's a cosmetic bag and NOT a new toy for me? FH - you're such a spoilsport!"

JD - There was a also a glasses case made from doggie paw-print material!

You can't blame US for THESE pawprints FH, he he he!

Max - And finally Gus's FH had made our FH a really sweet tissue holder out of some really cool 'Java' material.

JD - It has a tie-up front and Gus's FH has suggested that we could also use this to keep our noms safe when we go out - we think this is an EXCELLENT idea!

JD - "Isn't the design brilliant?! I especially love the idea of this holding our noms in the future....!"

Max - We were thrilled to receive such wonderful gifts from Gus and his FH. Thank you so, SO much! We've been having so much fun with our new toys and FH has been showing off her new items to everyone!

JD - Yup, she's taken her new bag nearly everywhere with her since she got it, she absolutely loves it! Thank you SO much!

JD - "We're so pleased we get to have our photo taken with handsome Gus!"
Max - "Gus - thank you so much for ALL our goodies! You ROCK!"
