Here comes our beloved Mayoress, Madi, with Pip on her arm!

My fellow citizens of this fair city it is with great pleasure I come before you today to celebrate 

Pip and Puddles Appreciation Day.  

Over the last month and a half they have traveled the globe...some places twice, some places are vague memories.  Their passport pages are full and in some locations they have had the pages ripped from their passports.  BUTTTT thanks to strong gassy (sorry) I mean gusty winds at their backs, Cheetos, burgers and beer they persevered and are here with us today.........standing ovation.....!!

Pip And Puddles I am happy to crown you Pip King of Cheeseburgers and Puddles Queen of Merriment and Mayhem....please step forward for your crowns.....

Now on with the festivities

First up is the Parade of Blogville- all of Blogville's residents parading in front of the Royal Box housing our intrepid duo and the Mayoral pawty- led by the Tiki Light wielding White Dog Army!  (Ernie, put down the tiki light- the fireworks come later!).  Next up we have Molly the Wally giving color commentary on the attire of the attendees- lots of color and bling- Blogville puts on a darn good show! Now we have the parade of beer and Cheetohs trucks - Sarge, get those trucks over to Sasha- we need refreshments!  Here come the CLydesdales!  Bert, where are you- we need a bartender! Did you see that- Burger King himself is here and personally delivering several truck loads of cheesburgers!  

Shiloh and Shasta are here- giving the BLogville residents rides in their Sopwith Camels!  The Circus set back up on the infield- free rides for everyone!  I see Millie, Amber Da Weenie, Mona and the rest of BLogville's ladies on the roller coaster already!  The men are busy with the bumper cars- Ernie is running the trains again and the Ferris wheel is filling up!  

Francine and Ernestine showed up, and are setting off fireworks!  They are shooting them at the ARCH but thankfully are missing!  Lots of river traffic- another paddle wheel casino has dropped anchor by the ARCH and unloading even more residents of Blogville- The party has overflowed from the stadium to the Gateway ARch and we are showing STL how to party!

Ernie, get away from the river- it is too cold for a young pup to show off his dog paddle! Puddles, stop encouraging him and get back here with that airplane!   

The conga line, led again by the White Dog Army, is stretching from the stadium all the way to the Mississippi River, going through the Arch and around several times!  Looks like Dachshund Nola is here with her Minions 3 and showing how the conga is done!

Now our pawsonal tribute to the Blogville King of Cheeseburgers and the Blogville Queen of Merriment and Mayhem. We the DWM started blogging back in 2009, just after Chip adopted WHN and Dad- we first met Pip a year later and Puddles when she burst onto the Blogville scene.  Puddles' antics would leave WHN with tears streaming down her face and a lift in her step, especially if she was having a bad day.  Pip was always an inspiration with his health issues, and continues to be so today.   Now, our Dad though that WHN's blogging about us was a bit silly, until he came under the spell of Puddles, who has become his BFFF and adult beverage drinking buddy.  He too loves Puddles and always asks about her and loves her antics.  They had a great time at the pawty Dad threw in BLogville last year and he has become a convert to Blogville and Puddles! Please enjoy this tribute and post one of your own as we celebrate two of BLogville's residents who have brought so much joy and love to our lives!

Now back to the pawty- which will probably last all weekend!
