Thank you Parcel Opening, Boston the Groodle finds the Big Ball, Bandit Pool Antics

Luke opened a few more parcels today and thanked some supporters who have donated meals from The Butcher’s Dog. Thank you so much for doing this, the doggies will be very appreciative.
There was a beautiful book from Larina in Queensland, some spunky Dundees for Barney from Emily and a personal gift for Luke and Jason from a fellow veteran and follower; Phillip.
A special thank you from Bandit too and his family for the gift last week from Phillip for Bandit.
Thank you so very much for all your generosity.
Boston the Groodle loves the big ball, so when he discovered where it was hidden, he had no time to waste on a poo bag at the end of a string no more. Let’s get the big ball in the water!
It was a team effort between Hercules and Sparty in popping the big ball.
In the small heated pool, Bandit was up to his old pool antics with a soft football today. It was funny to watch him line up so many doggy mates to retrieve the thing. Bandit you’re one smart dog.

Bandit could sense Luke was getting emotional looking at the ship photographs and started giving him comfort kisses. So sweet.

[@carolvanbeugenbik4632]

That's what I thought too.

[@bellabonnie3141]

Mr. Bandit is the best! 1989, getting old. (60, next year) Still got salt flowing through my veins, ha ha. Thank you so much for the kind words and another great video. Tell mr bandits mum she is so welcome for his toys. He has the biggest personality. I look forward to the Monday morning pack. They are all so full of energy. Ms violet and Ms red are "styling and profiling" with their beautiful coats. Hope everything is going good for jason and family.

[@jennywhitaker2304]

Your gifts are so thoughtful! Loved the banners for Luke and Jason. I remember the big box of toys they opened a week or two ago with all those pigs - Bandit’s favorite!! Thank you for your service! ❤️from the Mississippi Delta!🇺🇸

Uncle Luke and Uncle Jason you are an inspiration to me as a Veteran and I imagine to Vets who know your story. 🇦🇺🛳👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you to all those people who sent gifts for the dogs and staff...it's such a lovely kind caring thought ❤️. Bandit is such an extrovert character he's beautiful. All the dogs are amazing unique in their own loveable ways :-)

I always love seeing Etta the Pug and her leaps of love to Uncle Luke in the pool. Etta the Love Pug. ☺️☺️☺️

[@kathc349]

Interesting that as you were talking about memories, Bandit sensed you needed a little extra love. He's a special boy

[@carolvanbeugenbik4632]

Just what I thought too.

[@patriciap9162]

🤣🤣🤣...Bandit doesn't want to give up his toy. Bandit is so special. ❤

I hope Phil felt that kiss of appreciation from Bandit. Queensland knocked it out of the park with donations and gifts.

[@vickiekeitz2645]

Bandit is so special. His parents must be so proud of him. Bet he gets into all kinds of stuff at home. What a special boy.

What a wonderful gift from one veteran to another. Love Barney's new pair of Dundees and the book looks interesting. I love Nala being her impatient self waiting for everyone to come back to the pool! Boston was so happy to have found the ball!

[@lorenabolland3688]

I've never seen Joey in the big pool. She's always in her usual spot barking at all the excitement. I wonder whether she ever falls in accidentally.

The antics of Miss Red and Miss Violet. They are so fun to watch. Violet seems to not get lost as much. Hope Banjo is feeling better soon. If Bandit was a human he would be the class clown. He made my morning!! Well the whole pack makes my day!!

Nice parcels again. And Phillip, I also say thank you for the beautiful gift and the photos, the one with the Replenishment ship and the happy memories is my favourite... :-) Boston... did I ever tell you I love you? I should have because you are so so funny! O! Joey, you made me jump in my chair! hahaha. O Bandit. Most of the time you just drop yourself in the pool but you have a nice jump too. Thank you Sam and Luke 😘🦘

[@belindahugheslifestyle]

Woohoo, Boston, well done! You almost got it all by yourself. ^5 to Sam/Adam for capturing that brilliant mind in action. Phil, magnificent gifts & pics! You clearly made Luke, Jace and Bandit's day. ^5 Barney, looking good in your new Dundees. And books are amazing gifts. ^5 to the senders. Bright blessings, all.

[@judycooper1730]

The banners are really spectacular, thank you Phil. They look to be very good quality, love the graphics. Memorial Day is coming up this weekend, time to put out the flags and show my patriotic spirit. The beginning of the summer months. Great video, Bandit was very generous showing his love and thanks to Phil. Joey is so athletic, out of the pool in a flash.

Barney looks very chic - just right for the beach, lol. Jason's fishing story was funny, hope he got some of the fish to eat - lol. Bet more than a few lines went into the water after that catch. Phil's an awesome gentleman. Bet you enjoyed getting to see his picture. Boston knew to look around and find the ball - smart. The fast-motion of the dogs going back and forth, waiting for Luke, is so funny. Lovely Etta, here I come! That look on Bandit's face after he pushed in the ball - no one here to get it? I guess I have to do it myself. You can almost see his brain working out all the angles. This was a busy and awesome video - thank you.

[@Eurocatbaby]

Phil you are so thoughtful with your gifts to the DDFT. Uncle Jason may have caught a big fish but Uncle Luke caught a Bandit and they are very rare. LOL Boston found the prize and was ready to play.

[@palmtree789]

Great gifts. Thanks Philip, Jason and Luke for your service. For me, my favorite part of this video was Luke throwing Joey back into the pool😂😂

[@mamiebobb4173]

WONDERFUL video! Loved watching everyone having so much fun with water, toys, presents (well - I do think Barney may have felt a bit peeved about having to wear his knickers outside!). Hoping for the best healthwise for the puppies, and for our sweet boy Banjo. Maybe he swallowed a poopy-bug and he has it out of his system now. Love you all and wish nothing but joy for kids, dogs, old sailors ( I mean FORMER) and the ladies who love them all.

Bandit was kissing up a storm and then the Vizlas joined in and it was a hoot!! Happy time and smiling through this video!!! Thank you Sam as always!!

[@flopsymopsy7088]

I think dogs behave that way with Luke because they know he enjoys it so much. It’s a game. After all they would readily obey his ‘stop’ if he asked them. Like the game of chasing Gilly when he grabs Luke’s hat; Gilly gives it back immediately if Luke asks as demonstrated a couple of times.

[@musingwithreba9667]

those banners for Luke and Jason are beautiful and so very thoughtful ❤ Poor Bandit didn't want to dive into the water to get his ball. Maybe that melee to get the lure in the big pool wore him out. Yay Boston! He'll likely be back there all the time mow looking for the big ball 😂 Silly Joey jumping out of the pool to try to get at it!
