Christmas Day/Boxing Day catch up!

It's been busy busy busy here the past few days, so we thought a little catch up was in order! Everyone had a great day and it seems the girls were good this year because Santa Paws dropped in to give them their presents...

(Gotta love my dad for dressing up for us! Bless him haha)

We did the usual, presents, big dinner, family visits and we all had a fab time and were totally spoilt. The girls got some lovely gifts! They had an Oscar Newman 'My Agility Set' and a Puppia harness each from myself and Jonny, then they had a cute toy set and 2 bags of treats from my Dad and Step Mum Angie! (The treats were from my step siblings and Alfie apparently haha).

(We'll get pictures of their gifts up as soon as we have time! Christmas takes a while to recover from lol!)

Yesterday (Boxing Day) we had my Mamma and Ray (Step Granddad) over, so the girls got a ton of attention, which suited them perfectly! It was the first time my Mamma had actually met Lola, she was quite taken with her, although she has a soft spot for Lily :)

All in all it's been a lovely festive few days, although we're wiped out from all the hustle and bustle! We'll drop in very quickly tomorrow (hopefully) to post those pictures of the girls modelling their Style My Pooch prizes, as promised. After that we have a few reviews to do and New Years safety tips, so check back soon!

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and got everything you wished for :)

 

Love and licks,

Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe, Lily and Lola.

Christmas Eve!

Christmas is almost upon us and the fun has started early here at the Hilton household, with all the girls showing off their Christmas costumes!

Buffy in her jumper!

 Rafferty as 'Mrs. Clause'.

 Monroe as an elf :)

 Lily (also) as an elf!

(She really wasn't into having her picture taken today lol!)

Lola as a Christmas tree :D

(Sneaky Lily peaking from her Lola's right ear!)

You may have noticed 2 things about our pictures...

1) We have 2 elves. Unfortunately I neglected my duties and never realised that Lola didn't have her own costume, so everyone had to trade round and luckily we had a spare elf costume that nobody usually wears, so it worked out in the end! Next year we'll be buying some new costumes though, so things should be simpler Christmas 2012!

2) We have a severe lack of presents under our tree! That would be because Lola is an absolute monkey and has developed a fetish for wrapping paper/boxes. She actually ruined one of my dad's presents, before we'd even wrapped it...

She did that in literally 2 minutes! We only left the room to hunt down the sellotape so we could wrap it :( Naughty Lola!

Our presents have, for this Christmas at least, been relegated to the relative safety of the coffee table...

Other than that adjustment all is as planned and we're very excited for 'Santa Paws' visiting! My dad and step mum are visiting tonight to drop our presents off and collect their gifts, so tomorrow at some point, when we have a spare minute, we'll drop in and post about what the girls got this year :)

Until then, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Love and licks,

Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe, Lily and Lola.

Christmas List Extension... (Dear Santa Paws 2)

A few days ago we did a post showing everything we've ordered (or in the case of Lily, will be ordering) for Christmas 2010 :)

Now, everything was ordered and that was that, but... we started having a nosey on some sites and well, things just, snowballed? o.o

We snuck the 'orbee snowball' into the original 'Santa Paws' post a day or two ago, but our newest purchases might just be a bit too noticable ;)

So, here's what's been added;

 The 'Hunter Snack Cage'

 The 'Hunter Snack Bottle'

An 'xxl' rope dumbell (this is about as big as Buffy)

'Pet Care Plush Cube'

'Kong Stuff'n Paste' (x2) (1 Peanut Butter & 1 Liver flavour)*

'Healthy Hounds Tasty Treats' (x2) (Beef & Veg)

And a few grooming items...

 'Furminator Shampoo and Conditioner Solutions'

 'Furminator DeLuxe' (Dog, Toy, Long)

'Microfibre Pet Towel' (x2)

Now that is absolutely it, no more presents! Eesh!

We're thinking of doing a toys inventory once everything has arrived...

That's all for now, but we'll be back soon with a christmas tree post hopefully!

Love & licks as ever,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe and Lily.

*The 'Kong Stuff'n' is for our existing 'Kong' toys :)

As ever, if anyone wants to know where something in our post/on our blog was from, please use one of the contact links in the sidebar, we're more than happy to pass on links/sites/sellers etc!

What's it all about, Alfieee? (And Monroe) (Oh, and Lily...)

Good Morning Blogger!

It's a tad late, but as promised we have a few pictures of Alfie :)  
(Stolen from Adam, via Facebook)
So feast your eyes...

How different does he look!?

Ahh it feels like only a week ago... *wipes a tear* ahem!

In other news, it's bedlam in the Hilton household right now, Monroe's leg is still sore and now Lily's joined the club and has pulled a muscle, along her ribs no less!
Whatever will we do with them!?

No more arrivals in the way of pressies, so no update there, in fact we have yet to order Monroe's, the colour we want it in isn't in stock! :(
Fingers crossed it's in again in time for Christmas!!!

So until we have some news, we shall love you and leave you...

Love & licks,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe and Lily.

Dear Santa Paws...

Dear Santa Paws,
This Christmas all my girls have been super good and have asked for the following;

Buffy;

Rafferty;

Monroe;

And Lily;

Between them they would like;

 

Oh and we'll be needing one of these to put it all in...

We'll be sure to leave you a glass of milk and a big yummy cookie ^^
(Hope you'll excuse the tiny teeth marks!)

Love & licks as ever,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe and Lily :)

P.S Extra love from all the girls in advance for their lovely gifts !

Let it snow, part 2! ♥

A few more pictures of the girls messing around in the garden!
(Monroe wouldnt stay still long enough, nor would Buffy, so these are mostly Lily!)

 

Lily :)

 

Lily and 'her' snowball!

 

Sniffing around :)

 

Climbing on my boot!

 

On a mission!

 

Cleaning up...

 

Buffy pouncing on the scary snow!

 

Rafferty :)

 

Guilty confession, I sorta threw a bit of snow at her... 

Note the pissed off expression.... o.o

 

Snow smells goooood xD

Lily snuggling in the clothes bag after we got inside ^^

(Again, a very 'get the camera out of my face' expression!)

After all the playing in the snow, today sure feels christmas-y and we can't wait for the big day to come more than ever now!

This year is Monroe and Lily's first christmas, so it's even more special :)

Fingers crossed the girls all love their presents! (We'll post a sneak peek at them soon!)

We'll do a post tomorrow with a list and pictures of the presents that have arrived and we might post a picture or two of our tree as well!

Until then though...

Love & licks as ever,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe and Lily :)
