Sooooooooooo.....

Just received, the best gift ever from Girraffee(sorry spicyramen, you've been dethroned). Girraffee is the most generous and thoughtful gifter I've had yet.

As I got back to my office from lunch the receptionist told me I received a "huge box". Sure enough a huge box awaited me at my desk where two coworkers insisted I open it right away.

Within I found all kinds of fun items for the pups at home. Girraffee had gotten something special for each of the dogs, and fun stuff for them to all share too.

First out of the box was the 5 foot long tug rope, definitely for Jake who loves to tug and tear up rope toys. Next was the super soft plush ram, obviously for the princess of the house Tilli who enjoys carrying around toy animals. After that came the 'chuck-it' tennis ball thrower (with tennis ball!) for the lady Jenny who loves to fetch. then came bountiful treats: scooby snacks, organic peanut butter treats, and tons of smoked bones (including a behemoth of a bone). Last, but not least i found a rogue piece of cardboard on the bottom of the package, closer inspection showed that it was really a cardboard envelope, and inside was a letter and super awesome hand-made bow ties for each of the pups.

Can't wait to get home and spoil the pups. I'll update once they've dug in.

UPDATE: The pups were all very inquisitive of the box when I brought it in. First gift out was the mega rope for Jake. He investigated and chewed a little bit, but of course being the thief he is, he quickly wanted to see what the other pups got. once the commotion settled down, he did play a bit of tug with it... and because its over 5' long I could play tug from the couch!

Tilli enjoyed the ram, but was concerned with making sure Jake didn't get it, once he'd been safely kept at bay, she took to squeaking her new animal friend.

Jenny did a bit of fetching, but is still recovering from surgery, so we only threw the ball a few feet. Once she's dog park ready we'll put the tennis ball launcher to good use.

The scooby snacks are huge! and the organic peanut butter smelled so good I was tempted to take a bite myself.

We needed to make sure they were looking their finest so we put on all the bow ties (sorry for the blurry pictures, they were more interested in the new toys)

Then came the grand finale: the gigantic bones. we opened the big bone, and one of the smaller bones (as well as another similar sized bone we had) so that everyone would have something to chew. The dogs rotated from bone to bone until we finally put them away few hours later.
