THANK YOU, Joanne & Tini for Sully's perfect gifts!
 

Dear Joanne and Tini,

Thank you soooooooooooo very, very VERY much for your generosity! We love our gifts so incredibly much!!!

First of all, the clothes fit perfectly! They couldn't have fit any better if they had been professionally taylored just for Sully! I mean, they're PER-FECTO! You know our tastes, too, you must have because these outfits are right up Sully's alley! Hehe!

The hawaiian shirt and matching hat, oh girl I can't even begin to say enough about! He is fully grown, so he will enjoy this outfit forever! Again, I cannot EVEN say how perfect it is on him! I mean, gosh, just look at him wearing it! The matching hat is like cherries on top of a perfect sundae. It's so cute I just wanna cry! I'm THRILLED!!!!!!!

And the camp shirt is just darling on him! Perfect for a hot, summer day here in Tennessee! (It reminds me of the K9 Advantix commercial....Sully's favorite, haha!) But really, it's adorable! We love love LOVE it!

Sully has played with the toy incessantly since he received it! In fact, somehow, sadly, he's already chewed one of the jingle bells out! But that's fine, hey, that's how much he's loving this toy! And there's still a jingle left :) I can hear it all day as he carries it around in his mouth, bats it around....it sounds like one of my cat Penny's toys and she gets all curious and follows him around....then he gets jealous that she may try to take his new favorite toy away! They're a funny set!!! (You can see Penny in the background of one of these pictures.)

And the bones....they're like doggy crack! Sully goes nuts at the sight of them, let alone the smell! When I give him one he has to go find a corner of the room we're in to "hide" as he chews on it...and it pretty much does not leave his mouth until I take out the tiny remnants so he doesn't choke on it, haha! (You can see it in the pictures too, haha!)

And there's a funny story about the bones: The day after your package arrived, I had it all set out. The bones were all in the package, save one that I took out and gave him the evening that we openend the package. Anyway, when I came home from work, Sully cowered like he'd been a bad dog. Sure enough, he had chewed up the whole package, pulled out all the Dingo bones, one by one and hid them all over the house! We had to go on a bone hunt and luckily he hadn't chewed any of them up yet, just hid them! So I hid them in a special place where he can't get to them now, haha! Otherwise I was planning to picture the whole Dingo bone package in the picture! Silly Sully!

Anyway, thank you VERY very much! You were overly kind to us and we appreciate it more than words can say! We've raved about your package every day since we got it....and Sully has received many, MANY compliments on his shirt & outfit!

And you know what? I needed to find the perfect toy to put in my person's gift...so I went out and bought them a puppy pyramid too! (for Natalie and Fred!) (It seems the one I was going to buy for them, they already had.) Sooooo, thank you for the idea of something Fred would also like! (I promise I didn't regift it, oh heck no, I swear it's Sully's favorite toy and I'd never give it away! Besides, you saw it's already taken some wear and tear, haha!) Anyway, because of you and Tini, perhaps little Fred now has a new favorite toy as well!

Ok, signing off now, sorry so long on here! I keep trying to say THANK YOU enough and that's impossible! :)

:p Big hugs and lots of puppy kisses to you and Tini!

Love,

Valerie & Sully!

...more pics!
 

And here are a few more pics of Sully with his wonderful gifts!

Sully :luvu:'s Joanne and Tini!

WOW! lol, he loooks like a tourist in Honolulu! So cute! That toy,, oh man.. we haven't had it long and it's taken a beating, too. Fred throws that thing around, growls at it because of the bells! lol

What great gifts!! Sully is such a silly little character, that "Silly Sully"!

Hehe! So much fun!
 

Yes, Natalie, the truth is out! I got the idea to get Fred the Petstages pyramid toy from how much Sully loves his that he got last week from Joanne and Tini!

Originally, we had planned to get our "secret buddy" none other than a neon orange squeaky bone (or green, like Sully's)! Well....when we got your little note, lo and behold, Sully's favorite toy was also apparently Fred's favorite toy too! Haha! So now thru this gift exchange I guess they both have new matching favorite toys! Isn't that hilarious?!

they're twinkies and they don't even know it! lol :yelrotflm I'm so glad you got the idea, Fred found his new love. That orange bone has been abadoned and collecting dust in his toy pen! It's great though, I can just chase the ringing sound and I'll find him in the corner gnawing away!

Sully looks great in his hot new outfits!

He looks very handsomein his hawaii outfit... everything is very cute..

OMG! Sully looks so darn cute in his Hawaiian shirt and visor! :D lol so silly

Sully is such a sweetie and adorable in his new shirt/hat. You are right, it fits him perfect both physically and his personality!

Love all his stuff - such a lucky Sully!! :aimeeyork

Great job Joanne & Tini - looks like Sully hit the jackpot!!
Valerie - you do such a great job with your posts & pictures - I love reading them! I still think Sully is just as lucky to have you for his mommy as you are to have him!!! :D

Hi Valerie!
I am so glad that you and Sully liked all the items. I figured the hawaiian shirt outfit would be perfect for summer....

As far as the dingo bones go....Tini goes just nuts for them. It is great though since I can give her one and she will just sit and chew on it for a couple of hours...which sometimes is a nice break for me to do something.

Thanks for the very nice post and the pictures are so fun!

Tini is glad all her favorite things were something Sully liked too! It is just like Oprah's favorite things!

Take care!
Joanne

OH wow, Scully looks great in those clothes - how exciting - very nice gifts!!
