Hope you liked Vancouver!

Tonight was Jake and Just Harry's pawrents, Joan and Jack's last night in Vancouver before they fly back to sunny Florida. The hoomans decided to go for dinner at a Sukiyaki Restaurant.

After dinner, Joan and Jack came over to visit us!!! Jack had never met us because he was at the serious place when we went to Granville Island with Joan. (mum: Jack was at the conference earlier this week, so he hadn't had the chance to meet the Aire-kids yet!)


Jack watched as I worked MY treat machine,


Then mum said it was STINKY's turn to use MY treat machine, but I wasn't done yet!! So I pawed it from behind while STINKY was eating ALL MY treats, and the treat machine fell.... (don't worry tho, I pawed it back up and took over. The treat machine was MY 10th B-Day pressie anyway!!!)


STINKY was trying to get all the attention from everyone. Here he got Jack to play ball with him,


Then he went and rubbed himself all over Joan and Jack,


Here D-Guy was stabilizing STINKY's head (he has Attention-Deficit-Hyperactive-Jaw-Disorder) while sacrificing his arm for STINKY to landshark, so Joan could actually pet him without being landsharked!


All the meanwhile, I was just being the PERFECT gurrrrrrrl, all calm and watched STINKY get all the attention.....


(mum: Jaffa is the socialite while Sunshade is more aloof until she knows the person a little better. She was perfectly happy watching the action from the sideline!)

Jack noticed how good I was, and he came to give me some much deserved attention!


I must admit, he gave the bestest throat rubs,



Bestest face rubs,


And bestest ear scratches!!!!!


Joan and Jack took a moment to look at *ahem* mum's collection,


Apparently, they have a similar collection at their home, hehe!!


Time flew by so fast, and it was time for them to leave since they had an early flight the next day. Before leaving, Joan gave mum a pressie,


LOOK! It's an Airedale porcelain pin!!


THANK YOU Joan & Jack and of course Flat Jake & Flat Just Harry for the cool pressie, and for visiting US!! We are so happy to have met you. I hope your first pawsonal encounter with Airedales was a pleasant one (just take out the landsharking, only the STINKYdale does it). We also hope that you've enjoyed your stay here in Vancouver and will come back again sometime in the future!!
