Today I received a package from my new friend Faya who lives in Biel-Bienne, Switzerland! The postcards she sent show how beautiful it is there. Her house is 3,824 miles or 5,153 kilometers from my house. That's like a trip to Rambo's house then back again to my house..JPG)

Here is a video of Faya looking for rocks at the lake where she lives.
On one of the postcards Faya sent to me she said her lake is shaped like a heart and if I looked on a map I could see it. So my mom fired up Google Earth and we found Faya's lake!
As you can see in this picture, the box was full of all kinds of surprises (not only for me but for my mom too)!

The first thing my mom noticed was that Faya used corn starch peanuts. Those are the best kind of peanuts to use for packing boxes. If you've never tried it, put a cornstarch peanut in water and watch it melt away! Unlike traditional packing peanuts, cornstarch peanuts will be gone with the first good rain. Faya you are truely a Green Dawg!

On closer examination I found a bandana in the box, which my mom immediately put on me. Also in the box were four bags of awesome treats for me and Ziggy to share. The next few things I pulled out of the box were specifically for my mom..JPG)
Swiss CHOCOLATE! Faya, you are officially my mom's best friend! She is a serious chocoholic! Usually I'm the one doing the drooling, but today my mom was drooling more than me - hehehe..JPG)
Look at this cute stuffed dawg. According to Faya, this is a typical Swiss dawg - the Bernardiner. We call them St. Bernard's. I think it looks alot like me with it's bandit eyes! My mom said they carry alcohol in the cask around their neck to warm up cold skiers..JPG)

Mom tried to see if there was a mini martini in there but somebody else must have been cold and thirsty because it was empty. This cool key chain was also in the box!

Inside this pretty little bag was a whole bunch of Swiss rocks for my mom's coffee table..JPG)
Whew! I am tired from all this excitement. I think I need to take a nap but first I need to put all the rocks in the table. Wow! They look great!.JPG)
Thanks, Faya, for your additions to the table and for all the treats for me, Ziggy and my mom!!!

Hi Pedro!
We got lots of rocks fur you today!
I was wondering if you have had any problems having dog treats sent to you before? I'm asking because Australian customs don't let them into Australia but I would like to send you some with yor rocks. Also, do you have a size/height limit on the rocks you want?
Big licks to you

Hi Pedro! How nice of Faya! It looks like your rocks and shells are in the shape of a heart just like Faya's lake. I've never heard of cornstarch peanuts - they sound green and yummy! What a lot of interesting things you've gotten - no wonder you're worn out.
See ya!

wonderful things for your table, the place in Switzerland looks great, we like that part of Europe a lot, we'd like to visit Faya's blog.
How cool is that! Great additions to your table.
And guess what? My grandma is from Switzerland. My mom has not been there since 2005, but she grew up on Swiss chocolate! Your mom is going to love it. Ragusa is one of my mom's favorites. yum yum. Just remember, no chocolate for dawgs, ok?
Hope you are having a great Easter!

Say what?!? CHOCOLATE??? MMMMM!!!! Cool looking rocks, too! -Hec and Lola
Hi Predro,
We are glad you received our rocks!! WOW... 1,5349 km is a looooong way away... Those rockies have sure gone a long way to reach you!
Faya's pressies are awesome!! Sorry we didn't send you more treats or chocolates for your mom. Silly mom was just too eager to mail off the package and see those rocks being displayed on your table!
Oooh, what a lot of parcels you are getting with stones and rocks.
How wonderful. Looking forward to see the table when it is finished.
Wow, Pedro! You really made a haul!!
Faya sounds like an amazing animal friend. I may have to check her blog out! She definitely has a soft spot for you, Pedro. Keep up the good work with your collection!
Long time no talk Pedro! Glad you're still having fun building your rock and shell collection. We helped save an itty bitty Chihuahua like you today who was running loose. Thankfully he is back with his owners. :)

you look so stunning next to your brother in your bandanna!
