My last day at the lake

My last mowning I went suwfing again( I guess it's not weally suwfing like my Twinny Asta does it in Austwailia, since this isn't the ocean, and there wewe no big waves), but it was fun pwetending..by now I wasn't scawed, my tail was up and I even did "hang eight"
I talked to my cousin Cawina about what to do fow the west of the aftewnoon

We went back up to the house for an aftewnoon of lying awound and welaxing
OMG I found a stickie..I've seen many of my fwiends playing with them, but i've never seen one..they just don't have them in NYC, but I'm on vacation in the bestest place , and they have evewything
I couldn't help stopping fow a few minutes to think about my sweet Oscar,I hope he has a big pile of pawfect stickies over the rainbow bwidge

This was bliss..I loved my stickie...I thought of my fwiend Oscar the whole time

Look what I found! appeawantly my fwiend Gussie has a line of soda! pawfect..you go Gus!
It's dinner time again...and yes that's doggie food in the bowls, but never feaw, I always manage to get my shawe of the yummies the hoomans awe having, hehehehehehe
This is the onliest pawt of the dinner I can show you,cause Mommi was so busy stuffing hew face that she fowgot to take piktuwes of the west..this was peach cobler..miammmmmmm
Goodbye bootiful lake..I hope we get to see you again sometime



Watching the last sunset on the dock with my Daddi..the next day , it was time to go home
After dinner, the Hoomans all went down to the swimmy dock to go look at the zillions of staws in the sky..unkel Burton had to dwive some down(like my wussi Mommi) cause they were too scawed to walk in the blackest night,heheheh

Asta Girl,

Kowwa bunga surfer girl. Hehehe... you didn't bring the ball back, neither do I until I'm ready to chase it again. Stickies are the best, we have lots of stickies on Long Island. If you ever come out to Long Island we can go find stickies together.

Nice picture of you and Dad watching the sunset. Mom's leaving for Florida in a couple of days so it will be just Dad and I for a couple of days.

Dads been busy working on the boat, if not for this year at least for next year.

Oh Asta! You were swimming! Sorrie I didn't manage to catch up with your adventure till now. You are a natural born swimmer! And the food is tempting enough without showing us all. Thank doG for that else I'll be drooling all over my keyboard. Hehe.

Snuggle,
Precious

Hey Asta, you sure look cool on your doggy surfboard. You are really having fun with your stick too. That's nice of you to think of Oscar. We think of him too. You sure have been having a fun vacation. Good for you, little pup!

Asta Sweetpea!

I'm with Boo. I loved your travelogue and seeing all you did your last day, but my ALL-TIME FAVORITE THING was that belly pic of you on your back wrasslin with the stick! Your tummy spots are lovelier than ever, girl!

You look like a surfer girl in that first photo, and you seem to make the rounds with all your family. They must LOVE you!

Do you really think your mommi is a wuss? She was drinking - so of course she shouldn't be walking. Didn't you know, hoomans have a law about that (I think).

Love you, girlie! Thanks for sharing your vacation.

Goober love,
Stanley

Dear Asta

You have the prettiest face, and you are so brave. I would never have stood on the blue thingy in the water. I'm bigger 'n you, but I'm still real scared of water. Oscar knows you are thinking of him. He'll be chasing sticks in Heaven with the other DWB doggies and FuFu will be trying to hide them from the doggies because FuFu is so smart. I'm sorry I haven't visited your blog much lately .. I've missed you heaps.

Love from Hammer

Gus said...

OH, what a beautiful vacation for my beautiful puppy gir Asta. Yummy food, lots of time with the humans, and a great time in the water. Many Happy Returns.

ps. I will have to start looking for "my" soda! looks yummy

Daniella said...

Loved all the pics and videos. I am most intrigued by your "pulley" system ensuring you didn't escape with the stick! Can you tell us readers more about the system? you looked like Tether dog for a while but then I saw the leash was attached to some sort of contraption between the trees? I of course don't need such a thing cos I am "reliable off leash" - gloat. I am an anomalie in the wirey world according to my mom who isn't even sure she is using that word correctly.
Best, Ax

The Lake looks wonderful! You must have enjoyed yourself so much...I see wine in the last picture when you were riding in the dark. Looks like my kind of Pawty! Yum!
