Thankful Thursday – Blogville Gift Exchange

Hi everyone. It’s Millie & Walter here. We participated in the Blogville Christmas Gift Exchange again this year and were paired with a couple of the collies at All Things Collie. This is a new blog to us and these collies are all very beautiful and talented. Many are show champions and therapy dogs.

Look at all these pressies!
Mom said not to touch them yet Millie.

Is this better?
If we pose nice then we get to open them.

After some posing mom let us start opening them…er…we really mean that Walter started opening them.

This one looks like a toy.

I love ripping the paper off these pressies.

Walter had lots of fun ripping the paper off all our pressies. Millie has never been very interested in that sort of thing. We got lots of great pressies from the Collies.

Look at all this great stuff!

Let’s take a closer look at those toys.

These toys are made for tough chewers like Walter

Mom said we couldn’t try the treats yet since there were so many of them. Here is a video of some of the action of us opening our pressies.

If you can’t see the video you can go here to view it.

This Squeaky Skull is lots of fun.

Let me see if I can get the squeaker out of this skull.

Oh well, mom wouldn’t let me just chew on the skull toy. She said something about it lasting longer that way.

We want to thank the Collies for all these great pressies. We’ve tried a few of the treats already and they are great. Mom just didn’t get any photographic evidence of it. It’s always fun to participate in the Blogville Gift Exchange and we want to thank Oreo and his mom for organizing it.

Catching Up – Our Christmas Pressies

Hi everyone! It’s Millie and Walter here. First we have to apologize to Rosy and Lady Shasta for taking so long to do this post. We of course are blaming our mom for dragging her feet.

Look at these pressie packages!

Millie’s pressie package arrived first so we will show you that one first.

I have to help get it out of the box.

Thanks for these great pressies Rosy!

Everything was in that cute burlap bag and there was even a magnet for our mom’s car. She will put it on sometime after she washes it the next time.

Here is a video of us opening the pressie package and our first reactions to the pressies.

If you can’t see the video you can go here to view it.

Thanks Rosy. You sure know how to shop for a gal.

Now it’s time to show you what Walter got from Lady Shasta.

It took some work but I finally got this bag open.

There were four wrapped packages inside.

All of these smell good.
Can I help you open anything?

I’ll open this one for you Walter.

Look at all the great pressies Walter got.

Here is a video of the action to get Walter’s pressie package open and our reaction to what was inside.

If you can’t see the video you can go here to view it.

Thanks Lady Shasta. You sure know how to shop for a guy.

I spent most of my time playing with the gator toy and we put the treats right in our cookie jar. I will wait to use those tennis balls until the winter is over. I wouldn’t want to loose them in the snow. Mom wouldn’t let us eat the two big cookies right away but we did try them a couple of days later and boy were they tasty.

Well that is what we got from the Blogville Christmas Gift Exchange. We want to thank Oreo and his mom for coordinating it and of course a big thanks to Rosy and Lady Shasta for being such great shoppers.

Our Christmas Exchange Pressies!

Hi everyone! It’s Millie & Walter here.  We love participating in the Blogville Christmas Gift Exchange every year. This year Walter received his gift from Buddy and Millie received her gift from Addi. They both know how to shop real well.

This is my box Millie
I know I’m just taking a look

Walter’s pressies weren’t wrapped so he was able to just grab them out of the box.

This is a great toy! I’m going to have lots of fun with this.

Addi did a great job wrapping my pressies.
Do you see that my name is on the card too?

That’s just the card Walter and you know I will share with you anyway.

Here is the loot we both got.

Buddy sure knows how to shop for a guy like me.

Addi did a great job shopping for me too!

After mom got all the tags and wrappings off everything we had a great time playing with the toys. Here is a little video action of some of our pressie opening.

If you can’t see the video you can go here to view it.

Neither of us are any good at opening pressies even though Walter can rip an envelope to shreds in minutes. We let our mom unwrap the pressies from Addi and then we had fun with them.

I bet this rope will be fun to play with outside too.

We both really like chew bones.

Here is a little bit of the action of us playing with some of the toys.

If you can’t see the video you can go here to view it.

We can’t thank our exchange partners enough. We love everything we got and should get lots play time with these. Those treats from Addi were very tasty too.

Thanks also to Oreo’s mom for arranging all of the exchange partners. We always love participating.

Millie’s Christmas Gift Exchange Pressies

Hi everyone! It’s Millie here. Today I’m going to tell you about the great pressie package I got from my gift exchange partner Pippen from My Life with Scotties. Thanks to Oreo and his mom for putting all of this together for us.

Something green and fluffy is in here

Mom helped me pull the pressies from the box and then I carefully took the tissue off.

This one smells fantastic!

What great pressies and such a cute card

Here is a close up of all the loot.

Millies gifts from Pippen

Wow Pippen you are a really great shopper. Now it’s time for some taste tests.

Mom let me try both cookies and they were fantastic! After the taste tests I stepped away for a quick drink and when I got back this is what I found.

If you can’t see the video you can go here to see it.

What’s wrong with playing with Millie’s toy?

I know Walter really loves playing with stuffies so I let him have it for a little while. Mom took it away before he totally destroyed it though. Thanks again to Pippen and to Oreo and both their mom’s for making the gift exchange possible. I love all my pressies.

Don’t forget to start sending us your stamps when you think you’ve received all your Christmas cards. Just leave a comment if you need our mailing address. We will also give an update on our card count soon.

Our Christmas Gift Exchange Pressies!

Hi everyone it’s Millie & Walter here. We were so excited to sign up for Angel Jazzi’s Christmas Gift Exchange this year. We will tell you later about the gifts we gave but today it is all about the gifts we received.

These pressies look great Millie!
Back off this is my box.

First up let’s see what Millie got. I got some great pressies from my partner Duncan from the White Dog Blog.

Look at all this great stuff!

Here is my official sit next to your pressie picture.

Mom always makes us pose with stuff.

I may not look thrilled but really I am it’s just that I get nervous when mom makes me pose for pictures. Even though Duncan is a boy he sure knows how to shop for a girl like me. He even included a gift for our mom.

Note pads from Duncan for our mom

Let’s move on and see what Walter got from his exchange partner Edward from Two French Bulldogs.

How do I get this paper off?
Maybe we can lick it off?

We have to admit that both of us were a little wrapping paper challenged and had to have mom help us.

Thanks Edward! These are great pressies.

OMD look at the great pressies Edward got me. Did you notice that Millie and I got the same crinkle ball only different colors? Maybe Edward and Duncan shopped together.

Mom wanted to get official pictures of all our loot.

Those Gingerbeg Cookies smell great.
Who cares about those cookies…I want that bone!

All we wanted was to sample some of those treats. First up were the Gingerbeg Cookies. You did read that right, they are called “Gingerbeg” and OMD do they ever make you beg for more.

Bring it on! These cookies are great!

Om Nom Nom Nom….

Stingy mom only let us have one cookie each. Something about not wanting to upset our tummies if we ate the whole box or something. Oh well she did let us try one of the other treats we got.

Dried chicken breast strips! I love them!

I’m in such a hurry to get it I’m blurry!

Both those treats were amazing. We had never had anything like them. Now we just have to get our mom to give us some more.

We can’t thank our partners Edward and Duncan enough. They picked perfect pressies for both of us. Also very big thanks to Angel Jazzi’s mom for organizing such a fun event.

Don’t forget to start sending us your stamps (some of you already have so thanks). Just leave a comment if you need our mailing address. We will give an update on our card count soon.
