Hope you Enjoy!

Hugs & Smooches,
Sable and Mali

 

Guess what?  Our Secret Santa Paws came today!
Sable wasn't so sure about it.

Mali was more interested...she's Ms. Nosey Rosey Wow!Look at this pretty bag! Hmmm...what's in here?
Now Sable is more interested...she wants to check it out. Wow look! 2 stuffies, 2 ropes, 2 snowflake dog tags, 2 bags of treats and mom even got a pair of purple socks!

But who is it from? It's from our Aunty Brenda and the dalmation crew NADAD & BB. Thank you so much Nicky, Anastasia, Dimintri, AJ, Diamond, Brindle & Bambie. Ya'll are the best. Our mommy says thank you for the purple socks. That's her favorite color. And the treats are really good for Sable cuz they're soft to chew and she needs that right now, but we figure you knew that cuz you're a good mommy too!

We love you guys!
Hugs & Smooches,
Sable & Mali

Hey everyone!  All of the Secret Santa matches have been sent out.  When you receive your gift from your Secret Santa, don't forget to take pictures.  Send them to Mr. Jim's (Sweet Sue's Boy) email or to our mom's email meme_1966@msn.com She will be doing a slide show of the pictures, so we can all see the fun!  She will need the pics by December 20.  You can get all the information from Sweet Sue's blog on her page.

I'm reposting Sweet Sue's Blog about Secret Santa to remind everyone that time is almost up to sign up!


Hi Puppers, Sweet SUE here! My good friends Sable and Mali (also known as The Gurlz) had a talk with our special friend Santa Claus! The four of us decided that it was once again time for Secret Santa here on MDS! So us puppers told our humans to get busy and arrange this for us - it will make us and Santa happy! Everypawdy had so much fun last year - and this year will be even more funner!

Of course humans can't do anything without rules, so here is my Boy to tell you about the rules:

Here we go - the point of Secret Santa is for each of us to get secretly matched up with another pack of pals here on MDS. When you get your match, you check out their profile and then go shopping to get them an extra special doggie Christmas gift. It is a lot of fun, and a great way to meet new MDS friends.

So now, here are the rules:
1) $15 (US) limit on gift(s)--(whether you have one dog or 10)
2) Sign-up will end at midnight US Eastern time on November 24. Send an e-mail to jehingr@gmail.com with the subject "Sign Me Up" and be sure to include an e-mail address where you can be reached, your mailing address, the names of your dogs, and any special notes such as food allergies or "no stuffies" or whatever is appropriate.
3) You will receive your match on Thanksgiving (November 25) just barely in time for Black Friday Shopping! Don't tell your "match" that you got their name - it's supposed to be SECRET Santa! It will be a big surprise when they receive their gifts to find out who they are from!
4) Ship your gifts no later than December 10. Send an e-mail to jehingr@gmail.com with the subject "Gifts Shipped" so that we know who's gifts have shipped.
5) When you receive your Secret Santa package, e-mail a picture (or more than one picture) to jehingr@gmail.com with the subject "Secret Santa Pics" Please mail your picture(s) in before December 20. Melinda, Sable & Mali's mom, will make a special blog/slideshow to show off everypawdy's Secret Santa gifts!
6) Have fun! Try to select gifts that represent your dogs or your location. For example if you are from Baltimore, a blue crab toy would be great, or if your dog is an Irish Setter (just for an example) a shamrock toy would be very nice. Or send some treats from your local doggie bakery. Use your imagination, and have fun! If you have any questions, bark at me or e-mail me for answers.

Thanks, Jim, Sweet SUE, and PALADIN - and Melinda, Sable, and Mali

Hi friends...we haven't been on MDS very much in the last few months.  Our mom has not really been happy with MDS for a while...not the way it's working --she's not had any problems with "technical" problems.  Just a few other things...she's been really busy and is just going to get busier.  For those of our friends that are on Facebook..we will still see you there and keep in touch that way.  We love all of our friends here...we just don't have the time to spend on here like we'd like too.  We'll be back when things slow down.

Much Love,
Sable and Mali

For those that don't know... Nala of theprincesses went to Rainbow Bridge last night.  Cassie has asked me to post a message concerning what happened.
Last Night Nala was attacked by her two other dogs, Sasha and Kiara. She didn't survive. Here is the message from Cassie that she asked me to forward to everyone. Please go to her page and let her know you're thinking of her at this time.  She is having to go through the pain of losing Nala the way she did and making some hard decisions concerning Sasha and Kiara.

Thanks, Melinda

Hi everyone...we're online for a few minutes asking that everyone pray for mom and dad's church family.  They got a phone call this morning that their church was burning.  The only thing left standing were two doorways into the building.  Mom said it was just a building...the church is the people...not the building.  She said that God left us doorways to walk through now it's up to the members to walk through them and re-build.

Mom says the Devil ain't winning this one. 

Much Love and God Bless,
Sable, Mali and their pawrents...Mark and Melinda

Hey…we just wanted to let everyone know we’re still around! We haven’t been able to bark in a while, but mom checks our page almost everyday. Things have just been CRAZZZEEEE (not normal crazy…Mali CRAZZZEEEE) for a little bit. First Mom had to take Mali to the vet cuz they thought she had a problem with her kidneys…but nope…nothing wrong. WoooHooo. Then Mom has started working on the Easter program for the youth group at church…while that’s been happening she’s been trying to get everything ready and prepared for Vacation Bible School. So far so good…everything has been ordered and has come in, but she says that’s the easy part. Now she just has to get busy working on it. Speaking of work…Dad has been messing up our house. He’s repainted one bedroom and now he’s working in our laundry room. Mom started complaining because she couldn’t wash clothes cuz the washer was sitting in the den. So Dad had to stop making a mess and put the washer back. He’s been making lots of weird gggrrrrr noises and swishy noises and bangy noises. We can’t go in because we get this white stuff all over us…looks like powder. Dad says he’s mudding and taping and hammering and sanding. We don’t know what all that means but we know mom yells when he walks through the house and leaves white footprints on all the rugs. Maybe that will be done by the weekend. But then in a couple of weeks he’s gonna be on our house putting on something call shingles. Then after that all new windows. Mom says that won’t be the end. So our house is gonna be very messy for a while. She forgot to take “before” pictures. But she says she’ll try to take some after ones. Also in all that mess we had to go to the groomer. We were looking pretty shaggy! And guess what Sable did?!?!?! Boy was she ever in BIG trouble. She bit Mom…yep you read that right..she bit her. She was trying to sneak under the bed when dad went to go to sleep and when mom reached down to stop her she turned and jumped at her and made a mean growl and BIT her. If mom hadn’t been wearing glasses she probably would have gotten her eye..but she just got her nose..and this red stuff was on mom’s face. Mom was so angry, but she didn’t yell at Sable…she just told Dad to get her out of her sight for a while. Sable was very sorry, she came to mom and put her head down. Mom forgave her because Sable has never done anything like that before. Mom says we’ll have to watch her to make sure that’s not gonna become a habit, Sable is getting old and when she doesn’t get her way she gets a little growly. And now Mom and Dad have been in revival at church this week and we’ve been alone for long times in the evening, but they won’t leave the ‘puter on for us to use. Mom says she doesn’t trust us to stay off bad sites…you know the ones with the hunky good looking BIG BOY DOGS. Oh wait and one other thing when mom picked us up at the groomer she was so surprised, I Mali, was not playing with the little dogs..no way…I made a new friend…her name was Ruby and she was a Great Dane…you know like Monty and like Our 7 Dogs. Mom wanted to leave me and take Ruby…she said Ruby looked a lot calmer than I am…humph…she’d miss me. But Ruby was very pretty and very sweet. She even let mom give her kisses. And there was another Bichon there that day too…only his hair was fixed like a Bichon’s should be…mom calls it the mushroom head look, and there was a pretty Gold Cocker Spaniel named Gracie for Sable to play with. Even though we had to get bathed, and cut, and nails done and teeth cleaned and ears cleaned and those u know what thingys squeezed…we had a blast when it was all over with our new friends. Mom says we might get to go more often on Fridays for play day. We sure hope so. Anyway that’s what we’ve been up to and we miss you.

Lots of Lubs and Smoochies, Sable & Mali

PS…OH boy we just noticed we got our 2-year bark day cupcake for our page. Wow has it been two years already. Thanks to all of our friends that have stood by us and all the love we received through the loss of our Chi-Baby. You will never know how special you all really are to us.

PSS...this is Sable, you can tell Mali wrote this whole blog.  She wanted to give it a try for herself.  She is random and all over the place ...just like she is at home.  Mom just says ... Sable be nice you know Mali is "special".  You know not like special when you get a surprise treat ...but "special" when you're a little touched in the head.  BOL

We know we are a little late with this, but Mali has been with our family a whole year now!  She came to us on January 30 2009.  She came to our lives after we lost our Chi-Chi.  She has been a challenge and a joy.  She has a personality all her own and enough attitude for everyone.  She's highly intelligent but plays dumb just enough to make us all think she's not as smart as she is.  She makes us laugh daily, which is her biggest strength.  She definitely brought joy into our lives.  She has made Sable young again.  They run, and  play, and wrestle almost every day...and some days it seems like it's all day long.  Sometimes she drives us crazy but we would not know what to do with her.  We are glad we made the decision to take her.  We are glad she's part of our family.  We are blessed to be able to have given her love and security when she had none.  She's our Bone-headed, Monkey Butt Angel-Girl.

Hugs,
Sable & Mali and Mom
