What-ho everyone! Thought you might like to see some photos of me cone free and having some very manly snuggles with pa!
I am still feeling itch free and perky! Whatever was bothering me is no longer doing so, although ma and pa have deemed that I am only allowed to eat my brand of biscuits (kibble) and treats made by the same company to rule out any food intolerances. Bit of a shame, but luckily I love the food I have. It's called James Wellbeloved and is hypoallergenic and good for those of us who have a tendancy towards itchy issues.
As I think you may remember, I had bad sores on my back leg when I first came to live here and I had been on a low quality food at my old house. Ma and pa were also told that I had issues with my legs and feet being touched. It's true that I did grumble and growl when they got too close in those first couple of weeks, but now I am absolutely fine and will happily be washed, rubbed down with the towel, brushed, stroked and whatever else you may care to do with my back legs without a murmur, even recently when they have been bothering me a little. Ma and pa are now somewhat convinced that I may have either had itchies on and off for a long while that my previous family never dealt with, and that my feet and back legs were often sore so that's why I used to get grumpy, or that I got sore legs last year, started grumping and growling because they hurt and they didn't find out why, just put me up for rehoming thinking I had turned into a bad lad.
I am not sure if either is the case and don't like to dwell on it too much, but all I know is that I am a happy Harry and, as ma and pa say, if that was the case, it's my old family's loss as ma and pa wouldn't let me go now after 4 months never mind nearly 11 years.
Anyway, enough about me and my legs! Young Cassidy seems back to her crazy puppy self. It's getting harder to keep her quiet so we all presume her leg isn't giving her too much jip. She's off to the vet again tonight for her next Cartrophen injection, and we have fingers and toes crossed that she can resume normal activities.
Anyway, now for some fun for the weekend! We found this list of Airedale terminology and thought we'd share it with you all. Enjoy!
AIREHEAD
A not-so-bright Airedale or more commonly, an Airedale that is trying to make you believe that they don't understand something they don't want to do.

AIRE POLLUTION
What is created when an Airedale passes gas.

AIRESINGALONG
One Airedale begins to warble, whine, howl, gargle, and make other assorted noises, often during the customary 'whining hour'. Other Airedales in the household join in, resulting in strange and sometimes ethereal harmonies that put even the most avante garde of New Age Music to shame. Other times, though, the Airesingalong produces something more hideous even than rap music.

AIRESNAP
A quick snap of the teeth, often used to signal the Humanbeans that the Airedale WANTS to play, and wants to NOW. The action is akin to catching of bugs in flight, but there is no bug. The Airedale attacks, and kills, mere air.

BADBEDFLOP
Some Airedales, when told they have been 'bad' and that they must 'Go to Bed' will flounce dramatically to the appointed spot, and throw themselves dowh with a loud FLOP, usually followed by an AireGlare and a PITIFULMESIGH and a POORMISERABLESADME expression, which has been crafted to arouse sympathy and guilt in the aforementioned human.

COLDNOSEWHOOPIES
A favorite joke that Airedales play on humans. Step one is to get their nose as cold as possible by licking it outside when it is below freezing causing a sheet of ice to form on the nose, or just by plowing nose first through the snow. Step two is delivering a BIGNOSEPOKE with their icy nose, preferably from behind, just after the human exits the shower.

FARTBUTT
If you have to ask, explaining it won't help. Just give your Airedale some raw brocolli and refried beans for dinner. You should witness FARTBUTT shortly thereafter. FARTBUTT is a major source of AIRE POLLUTION.

FOODHOUNDSHUFFLE
This is what Airedales do when looking for crumbs on the floor. They sniff loudly and with such determination that the whiskers sweep up not only crumbs but dust moozies, lint, and small toys. In order to keep the nose at the appropriate distance from the floor, and to search efficiently, the Airedale adopts a shuffling gait.

HEADBUTT
The act of forcefully applying an Airedale head to some portion of the human anatomy. Favorite targets are heads, and knees (KNEEBASHER). If applied to a human's nose it becomes a HARDHEADTONOSEBUTT. Airedale heads are hard enough to cut diamonds, so HEADBUTTS are not to be taken lightly!

I'm so glad you finally got your cone off Harry. And better yet, you're not ichy anymore! How fabulous. Not all of those are Aire-specific...I'm the master of the pitifulmesigh!

One night when I can't sleep I will read all those Air things......I hope there won't be a test on them!
I really love the third photo down and the tail - that's something else..........Wonderful. XXXXXXXXXXX
It sure is nice that you got rid of that cone and are feeling so much better..
There certainly are lots of words to describe you.. Your Mom did an awesome job..

Harry, we are soooooo happy that Oscar helped you find your new home. Good food and lots of love can make a big difference! Glad your itchies are gone and we hope they never come back. We also hope Cassidy can resume her Aire-ways very soon. That list fit us perfectly (and probably a lot of other terriers too). Our favorite is the Aire-snap. We practice it often!
Aire-hugs,
Poppy & Penny
You're looking so happy on those pics, Harry. And what a big chap you are!
Glad the cone is off and all is well.

Well we are glad those nasty people gave you up because now you aren't itchy and you live with great people. OH and cassidy too :)
We consulted the AED (Aireford English Dictionary), and the Lexicon is dead-accurate! There is currently some controversy about "aire-boarding" (simulated drowning of a human in saliva) and "frontal airesault" (a Hague-like "over-the-top" maneuver with multiple airedales designed to overwhelm an entrenched opponent). There are rumors that l'Academie Airecaise possesses a similar lexicon.
Your correspondents,
Persephone & Buster
Hi Harry,
Great to see you back to your usual self and without the cone. Looks like you are enjoying those cuddles with your dad. The Aire dictionary was quite funny!
We also hope little Cassidy is given the green light!

Hey Harry, how nice to see you looking happy and lampshade free. That list of aire-terminology was too funny. I'm sure we can all relate to bits of it! J x
Hey you bond with pa just like I do with master. good one Harry.

The first thing I noticed when I clicked on your blog today - NO CONE!!! Congrats on that Harry...
The Aire-list is HILARIOUS!!! Wherever did you find that? I may just have to put that on my blog too...
Love to you and Cassidy,
Bogart
Hey Cassidy & Harry...

Hi Harry
Thank you very much for your happy barkday wishes.
We think it is wonderful Katy and Martin found you and they're taking care of you the way you should be taken care of. You look so happy with your Dad.

Congrats on losing that cone, Harry!! Hopefully the only cone you'll ever see again is an ice cream cone ;)
Hi Harry,
Oh yah, it's definitely your previous family's loss that they don't have a cool guy like you in their family..
Hehehe.. I like the sound of 'BIGCROTCHSNAP'..
You sure look very handsome without the cone Harry.
Good that you're itch free now

The one thing that really stands out on that list is "aire pollution". Today in the car we nearly killed the pinkies with "aire pollution". Infact they thought one of us had actually pooped in the car but nooooooo. Four hours later when we went back to the car, the "aire pollution" was still lingering...eeeeeeooooo.

Ps...It was one of the girls.
You airedales have quite the life.
Poor Harry, well at least your new and very good Ma and Pa are feeding you the best food now. What a shame you had to suffer before in your old home.
The right food and good quality stuff is most important. I eat either the James Wellbeloved biscuits or Hills Science Diet biscuits. When they first got me and they did not know anything about dogs or diet, they gave me Bakers dry biscuits, but I got skin allergies etc. My Jeannie tried the James Wellbeloved and the Hills Science Diet ones, and I have never looked back. My coat is really thick and shiny and I have no allergies.
Best of all, I always eat it all up!
So glad you are feeling better Harry!
love and licks, Marvin xxxxx
