No fun on the Wiviewa fow Judges

When Mango dwopped me off in the souf of Fwance for Sea Quest Heawding, I had dweams of lounging on sunny beaches and meeting new fwiends , eating pate and fwites , and oozy cheeses

I did meet a new fwiend wight away..a lovely Gweat Gweat Dane , she said hew name was Jacie
and she wanted to be my BFF

I stawted to get suspicious, when the day aftew I met hew and spent some time wif hew, she sent me this message

 "Don't you just ADORE my Michael Kors purse??  I loved the way it expanded after I won all that money at the casino!!!  Those dogs we picked up...er who escorted us were totally hot...I couldn't believe that little Welshie was afraid of my size...I'm just a tiny thing....OR NOT....sheesch. Do you have some heels I could borrow...these are so tight I can hardly walk....

Toodles, Girlie...

So glad I've met ya!!

Kisses,

Your new friend,

Jacie

Pee ess...sorry about all the shrieking when you were driving...those cliffs are steep!"

I got an uwgent phone call fwom Mango telling me I was NOT supposed to FWATEWNISE

Sheesh.this is going to be lonely

not only that,  but despite the lovely sunshine, it wasn't any wawmew than in NewYawk

I was fweezing my bumbum off

I had to go buy mowe wintew clotheses

Just look at what the Sea looks like..sheeeeesh!!!

I put on my hoodie and stayed in my woom..I can tell you I was getting a little boowed despite the gowgeous Owange woom Mango had wesewved fow me (he is vewy genewous)

Then I wemembewed that the Casino in Monte Cawlo was just down the woad, so I put on my evening dwess and got weady fow a faboolous night

When I got to the casino I was told that they had gotten a wawning of a possible gas attack by a welentlessly hooge individooal and it had emptied the place fow the season

I guess when the Mango says No Fwatewnising, he means it..I'm playing solitaiw fow the doowation of my sea Quest Heawding.

I just hope it doesn't put me to sneep and I miss the night of the final judging

smoochie kisses and good luck to all the Con Test Ants

(make shoowe you go check out the voting on the Mango Minstew Site)

Confoosion

I wote Mango a lettew about my puzzlement,

Deew Mango,

I got a little confoosed about Sea Quest Hewding..

Fiwst I went and found the cast of Sea Quest..but I felt vewy out of place and didnt weally like them

They awe a vewy stiff and dated bunch in my opinion and not at all welcoming.

Then I went to the Aquawium in Boston like you suggested and

twied to hewd some fish..they wouldn't co-opewate

I twied to be nice and feed them, but honestly, I don't weally like fish that much

It was cold and slimy and stuff and I've decided  that the Sea was the most impawtant pawt of the sea quest hewding

so I went to the souf of Fwance..it's much mowe comfowtable  and welaxing.

I think it will put me in the wight fwame of mind to  do a gweat job of judging

I'm also tewwibly pwoud and pleased to have gotten this bootiful awawd fwom Zoolatwy!!!

thank you so vewy much deew Fwiends!!!  I'm showing it off to evewyone on the wiviewa

smoochie kisses

A bweak fwom Mango Minstew

It was a quiet weekend.not much happening.

I wan home fwom Mango's Estate to twy to wefwesh myself and west up fwom the shocking goings on thewe

(make suwe you go and wead about it hewe)

latew this week , I will have to be Sea Quest Heawded so that thewe is no chance of foul play wif the final outcome of  Mango Minstew

 (thewe is vewy little time left to entew--the dead line is the 27th of this momf)

it was cold outside and we wewe waiting fow my hooman sissie and hew pawtnew to come to dinnew




I gweeted them like a good hostess weawing my peawls to  match Mommi





of couwse as official taste testew, I made shoowe the food was edible




I went awound the table asking evewyone if evewything was to theiw liking?




finally, it was time fow dessewt



and I was still at my post and weady to help the hoomans out
I have heawd Mommi say, she is fat, so of couwse, I am thewe to help hew eat less


niammmniammmmniammmmmm

it's a hawd job, but someone has to do it, hehehehehe




I like to do a vewy thouwough job..it's a mattew of pwide to lick evewything clean




then time fow a snooze in fwont of the fiwe befowe going back to the Mango estate and my difficult dooties as Judge fow the best in Show




such wesponsibility wests heavy on my little knuckle head...sighhhhhhh

Lunch

Mommi ,Daddi and I decided to have a celebwatowy lunch at ouw local Pastis.

It's been a long time since we did this, but we felt pwetty good today and wanted to make it special

a pawfect buwgew and fwench fwies and a mawtooni

(wawning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!of couwse you can only do this on days you don't have to go wowk

and don't wowwy.I didn't have any mawtooni fow weal..I only pwetend)

we toasted all ouw fwiends who think of us and awe so vewy kind  and help us thwough the wough times

Thank you all fow being so wondewful

smoochie kisses

my west distuwbed

I was home sneeping, and cwossing paws fow my Daddi

(we'll find out on thuwsday ow fwiday how he is)

when I weceived an uwgent message fwom Mango's estate, saying that  Khywa went missing and could i come help find hew?

I found hew neew my home in the most fashionable shopping distwict of the meat Mawket

honestly..I  am vewy puzzled, cause all I've known of Khywa and heawd of hew just doesn't fit this kind of behaviow

she was also not dwessed in hew usual ladylike way, and was sluwping a smoofie while she walked and twied to avoid the puppewatzi

I am totally confoozed and don't know what to do..of couwse i got hew in a cab and sent hew back to the estate, but this is vewy wowwying

smoochie kisses
