THE LAST OF THE AIREDALE GAMES 21 & 24 JANUARY 2013

Noelle is shameless when it comes to totally relaxing! Lynn writes: The girls are inventing fun games to play. Merry asks, Who is that under the towel? Let me bite it to see if it moves. It's me . . . Noelle! What fun this is! You think you can get past me, Noelle? You're dreaming! I'll just let Merry figure it out for herself. 24 January: I went into the x-pen today to take some photos of the girls. Noelle wrapped herself around my leg. I won't try to describe the contortions I went through to get some photos. Merry, on the other hand, just sat still and posed. She is going to be a ham for the camera. The girls decided to play a game of bitey-face . . . First Noelle was on top . . . . . . then Merry surprised Noelle and jumped on top. What in the world is this? Now this is more like it. Remember who's top dog here. I've noticed that Noelle & Merry have two different coats. Noelle will definitely look like an Airedale. Her coat is growing long & fuzzy. The tan is beginning to grow in under her black puppy fur. She has that fuzzy face look. Merry has more of a Lab coat that is much smoother and not growing out like Noelle's. She will have some whiskers though . . . although I don't think she will ever have a full Airedale beard. Another view showing the difference. Aw . . . mom . . . aren't we both cute?

NOELLE GOES HOME FOR GOOD . . . HERE
