A parcel from Ireland!

JD - Yesterday something very exciting happened!

Max - The postman delivered a parcel to our house! It had come from Ireland and we were sure we could smell traces of Labradoodle on it!! We saw our names on it so JD decided to pose with it and then we thought we'd enjoy opening it....

JD - "Ooh, it's all so exciting!"

JD - ....but then FH said that the parcel was for HER?! Eh?! What?! We were convinced Clive and his NSLM had sent this parcel to US!!

Max - Yeah! Whatchu talkin' 'bout FH?! We definately saw OUR names on the envelope!

JD - But apparently the parcel was addressed to 'JD and Max's MOM'!! Well!!!

Max - So we begrudgingly - er, we mean - delightedly let her open it!

JD - And there were lots of squeals from FH whilst she took out LOADS of goodies! It had indeed come from Cive, Murray and Sorcha! There was a really cool card of Clive and his NSLM - we loved having our photo taken with the two of them!

Max - "Take my right side please FH - it's my most pleasing profile and I want to look good next to Clive and Murray!"

Max - Then FH pulled out this really cool pink t-shirt - FH tried it on immediately and we were more than happy to pose for a photo with her!

Posing with FH and her cool new t-shirt!

JD - The t-shirt is really funny - here's a close up of the picture on it! Thank you so much Clive, Murray and Sorcha - FH loves it and it's a perfect fit!

Mind you, at the moment we think it's sunny in Ireland, just like it is here!!

Max - Of course, Murray and Sorcha insisted that we get sent a pressie each too! We both got a cool rope bone each....

JD - "Ooooh, I DO love a good rope bone!"

Max - "Me too bro', me too!"

Max - "Just a sec' though bro', I just want to check that YOUR rope bone is not better than MY rope bone.....!"

Max - " ....okay, check completed! It's the same rope bone, I'll go back to MY rope bone now then, he he he!"

JD - [Muttering through gritted teeth!] "Oh brother!"

Max - "Oooh, what are these that have just been put on the floor? *Sniff, sniff!* Hmm, think I prefer my rope bone....!"

JD - There was also a pair of pink 'Irish' flip-flops. As FH has what she calls 'runners feet' she said that she wouldn't take of photo of her feet in them - trust me, it's not a sight you'd want to see, he he he!

Max - We know that FH needed a new pair of flip-flops for the gym (changing room and sauna - not to train in, he he he!) so she's thrilled with these - how did you know?!

JD - There was also something in the package that we were mesmerised by!

JD - "Oooh, something swinging back and forth, baaaack and fooorth....I'm feeling strangely captivated....!"

Max - "I am ready to do the human's bidding!"

Max - It's something that is called a 'lanyard' and it's for mobile phones and keys, the kind of stuff that FH is always mislaying first thing in the morning before she dashes off to work.

JD - GREAT choice of gift Clive, Murray and Sorcha - perhaps FH can get herself slightly organised now!!

Max - "Gimme!!!"

JD - Thank you SO much Clive, Murray and Sorcha for all our gifts - we love our new toys and FH loves her goodies!

FH - Yes indeed - thank you! I was quite taken aback by this wonderful surprise, it was so unexpected! I loved it - you are such wonderful and generous friends!
