Stanley said...

Asta Girl!!

I love the tribute photo of the Towers. That's bootiful with the sun shining through!

Thanks for putting up the video of Uncle Tony!! He is gorgeous (at least from afar), and the dancing was MAGNIFICENT!! You tell him he has a fan in GooberStan. (See how that rhymed?)

I too would love to see you on the stage. Maybe you and your mama could take one of those freestyle doggie dance classes where you learn to dance with the hooman of your choice. Wouldn't THAT be a hoot??

Goober love,
Stanley Boy

Scruffy, Lacie and Stanley's Place said...

Oh Asta, what a bootiful tribute you had for 9/11. It was nice to see the spirit of the city in the form of the arts on the stage. As Faya said, "never forget."
Why don't you skip a pedicure, let your nails grow out and use 'em for tappin'?? I can't think of anything sassier than you tapping to New York, New York. (Why does that sound so much better, than Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh???!!)

Hittin' the crate,

Asta,

Thank you so much for hunting down my blog. I've been reading yours for the last few months, and you are quite a dog. I'm so happy to be friends with another 'city' dog. Your 9/11 tribute is lovely. I'm so glad NYC still stands tall and proud!
