Visiting the YOU-ESS!!

Hi everyone, sorry we haven't blogged for ages and AGES but we're afraid we've been.....

.......behind bars!!  *GASP!**

Well, actually, no, not really!  These are just some new security railings that our local council have erected along our coastline (and a right eyesore they are too if you ask us!)

The FH has been ridiculously busy at work and has been doing crazy hours - when she's home she spends her time walking us and doesn't have time blog also.  Sigh.....

We're still enjoying our coastal walkies!

But we wanted to do a quick blog update to let everyone know that we're both well and happy - and that plans for JD and Izzy's wedding in October are going well!

We miss our bogging pals - we hope you haven't furgotten us completely!

And we also wanted to let you know that our humans are VERY excited as they're going to be in the YOU-ESS in a few weeks time - they're going to visit a place called NEW YORK to celebrate their twentieth wedding anniversary.  Wowzers - they're OLD!!

Us with some of our best furiends and one of our favourite human friends!


They are extra excited about this trip as they're going to meet up with our blogging friends from Schnauzer-tude!  Which means they'll get to cuddle - IN-THE-FUR!! - our four great pals!!  So, much as we're going to miss them whilst they're away we're also very excited for them!

We probably won't have time to blog again before they go away but we'll make sure that FH updates our blog after their journey and let you all know how it went!

Impawtant announcement!

JD here!

And if I look like I've got a HUGE and HAPPY

smile on my face it's because

I am indeed a VERY happy hound!

 

And the reason that I am SO happy is
because my beautiful, smart and gaw-juss fiance and I
have now set the date for our wedding!




So please make a note in your diary for
Saturday, 6th October!
Izzy and I have great pleasure in inviting you ALL to attend
so please remember to RSVP in the comments below!

Oh my gosh, there is SO much to organise!
I've been considering what to wear - I'm a traditional pup
at heart so favour a tux - what do you think?

 

 Anyway, there will be more announcements shortly!
Max wants to arrange an engagement pawty in May so watch this space!

In the meantime Max wanted to at least appear in this post

so here is a photo of the two of us

demonstrating that in the You Kay Spring has finally sprung!

Woof soon!  JD and Max

Hats for Hope for Miss Judi

Today, we're proud to join paws with our furiends to honour Miss Judi

 

We want her to know that we are all thinking of her and sending our love over the miles - we are sad that she is not feeling well and we are sending all our love to help her feel much better!

So, as this is a 'hope for hats' blog-hop here is a photo of us keeping snug in our woolly hats, sending lots of snug love to Miss Judi!

Feel better soon Miss Judi - we're thinking of you!

Remembering the amazing Fearless Five.....

'Crossed Paws' held a raffle just before Christmas to win a personalized pendant from Personalized Dog Tags & Gifts. We didn't do a blog post about it because shortly after our PayPal account was hacked and we were spending our time sorting that out - then Max was ill and then FH was ill..... 

 BUT - long story short, it was won by a friend of ours in the UK who had bought a few tickets. She told us there was only one pendant she wanted - one that we could give to the Houston Pittie Pack as a memento of the Fearless Five.

We waited a little while until we asked Personalized Dog Tags & Gifts to produce it - we didn't want to do it too soon as we wanted it to be something that would make Sandra smile in remembrance of her amazing dogs. But now here it is....

We hope you like it - it is sent with much love. The fearless five will live in our hearts forever, we will never, ever forget them.

 Sandra, can you please e-mail us at crossed-paws@gmx.com and let us know the best address for it to be sent to? Thank you!

Izzy Miyake.....

JD - ".....this is JD - YOUR JD! Since the moment I first saw you my heart was yours - your sweet eyes and most gaw-juss ears made me melt and your sweet nature captivated me totally. I dream of you at night, I think of you during the day and I drive my brother up the wall by talking about you ALL the time!!"

Sweet, sweet Izzy!

Max - "Oh, he does Miss Izzy, he DOES!!"

JD daydreaming of Izzy!

JD - "Max - please! I'm nervous enough without you interrupting me!"

Max - "Sorry bro'!"

JD - "Izzy - as you know The Crossed Paws 'All In The Name of Love' auction goes live tomorrow - we are SO excited about it! There is so much love in the air - lots of auction items are coming in and everyone is showing just how much they care - which is a LOT! It is wonderful!"



Max - "Sure is!"

JD - "MAX!"

Max - "Well, will you PLEASE get to the point JD as you're, like, taking FUR-EVER.....!"

JD - "Okay, okay - but I'm nervous, this isn't easy you know......"

Max - "You're doing great JD! Come on - keep going, just like we practised, you're nearly there...."

JD - "Right! *Cough!* Izzy Miyake - you mean the World to me. So on the eve of The Crossed Paws auction, where we show ALL of Blogville just what love is all about, I would like to say to you....

I want to lie with you in green pastures,
Swim with you in fresh, blue water.
I want to hold you until all times end,
I want to know you forever and be your friend.
Kiss me, love me, my love for you never dies
Like a candle that never goes out,
My love for you burns on and on.
Please say yes as I ask you this,
Sweet Izzy, my soulmate, pure precious dove,
Will you MARRY ME my love?
