A VEWY SEWIOUS CAUSE,and a gweat honow

Hi all my sweet fwiends, we awe the luckiest puppies in the wowld, and we can't fowget those who awen't!!! SO PLEASE WEAD THIS CAWEFULLY!Calling all fox terrier and dog lovers!
Wire survivors in Canada need our help!
(I didn't post the pictoowe cause it made me cwy)

See that photo at right? Believe it or not, that is a wire fox terrier like me! An abused, horribly neglected wire who was one of 97 fox terriers found at a Monreal puppy mill belonging to Marc-Andre Laporte. Laporte was found guilty of two counts of animal cruelty at the St. Jerome courthouse in Montreal this week. Click here to see more photos

Almost 40 foxies had to be euthanized. The surviving dogs were cared for by the SPCA and later, with the help of devoted fox terrier lovers, found wonderful foster homes where they have been living for the past 2 years, unable to be adopted until the case is finalized. Laporte is only facing six months of jail time and up to $4,000 in fines. I find that disgusting - he should be locked in a cage forever or put to sleep - he murdered 40 dogs and abused 57 others!!

But it gets worse friends.
On Feb. 22, 2008 he will be sentenced.
And at the same hearing, the judge is to decide if Laporte is to get any of his fox terriers back!

Yeah, you read that right...get his dogs BACK! Are they insane in Canada? Are they blind? What is wrong with these people!? To even consider removing ONE wire from the safety and care of their loving foster families back to Laporte is OUTRAGEOUS!

WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN.

PLEEZ GO TO AXEL'S BLOG AND SIGN THE PETITION AND GET MOWE INFOWMATION..WE HAVE TO HELP!!!!!!!!

AN Invitation FOW A PAWTY and Gussie's pwesent

HI EVEWYDOGGIE , HAMMI, AND CATSES,
I have to tell you something....
In Hungawy, where my Mommi was bowned, and in many othew countwies too..they celebwate St.Nicholas Day on the 6th of Decembew.
In Hungawy, Santa, ow as they call him thewe, MIKULAS, comes on the sixth, not on the 24th...he knocks on youw doow, and he has a sidekick(Krampuss)who is not a vewy nice guy..anyway, he asks youw pawents if you've been good ow bad, and if you wewe good, Mikulas gives you lots of choklits and tweats, and pats you on the head and smiles a lot..but if they say you wewe bad...ohhhh, you don't even want to know..the krampuss guy has a swich in his hand, and he whacks you on the behind with it(just once, and not vewy hawd, but it must be hooomiliating)

Mommi aways got the choklits, but she told me thewe wewe a couple of bad kids in theiw apt. building who aways wewe nasty and guess what they got.....
I'm suwe none of my fwiends have evew been bad, so this wouldn't be a pwoblem, but sheeesh...

Anyway, gussie and his Muzzew also have a St Nicholas Day twadition(pwobably not as scawy as in Hungawy), and they sent me a gift fow the occasion...just look!
This is a pawtial view of the giant box that Gussie and his Muzzer sent me and my Mommi fow St.Nicholas Day! Mommi took all hew wondewful pwezzies out and was aweady weawing them so I couldn't take theiw pictoowe, but boy was she happy...she must have been vewy good.

I got a wed stowm coat...complete with hood, and some supew dupew tweats that awe appwoved by Gussie and Teka who taste tested them. and thweee! count them , thwee stuffies, which miwaculously awe still alive
Thank you so vewy much Gussie and Muzzer!!! that was sooo nice of you, muwahhhhh!
This is a pictoowe of MIKULAS at my Mommi'shouse in Budapest...my Mommi is two yeaws old and those wewe hew pawents, my Gwamama and Gwampapa..I nevew got to meet them, but I think they wew vewy nice....Mommi of couwse got lots of choklits and tweats cause she was a good little giwl, just like I want to be.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GWEAT IDEA IF WE HAD A HOLIDAY PAWTY FOW STNICHOLAS DAY, WHEWE WE CAN TALK ABOUT OUW DWEAMS AND CELEBWATE WITH EACH OTHEW AND TWY MY MOMMI'S COOKIES AND ANYTHING ELSE WE CAN THINK OF,
AND AFTEW WE'VE PLAYED ENOUGH CHASE AND WESTLE AND BITEYFACE, WE CAN GATHEW AWOUD THE PIANO AND SING SOME SONGS..

I ONLY KNOW CHWISSMUSS SONGS, BUT I'M HOPING MY JEWISH PUPPY FWIENDS WILL TEACH ME SOME OF THEIW HANNUKAH SONGS TOO..AND MAYBE WE CAN PEWSUADE GIRLGIRL TO BWING HEW VIOLIN AND PLAY, AND JOEY AND TANNER AND DAISY CAN PLAY THE DWUMS AND OF COUWSE ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO DANCE OW SING OW PLAY AN INSTWUMENT CAN DO SO TOO!


WHAT DO YOU THINK???? I THINK WE'D HAVE LOTS OF FUN!
Pleez tell me if you'we coming
you can dwess ow not..dwess is optional hehehe

Rainy Days

Talk about Monday blues....this is what I saw out ouw window...awe we in NYC ow foggy London town????
I have a tewwible feeling that this is not a day I get to go to the wun...I aweady destuffed some stuffies, I guess I bettew twy to find something else to do
Hmmmm, that looks intewesting...can I twy???
Watcha doing Mommi???
I watched Mommi do this..it looks like a piece of cake! I should have a vewy easy time leawning this, maybe like 4 o 5 minutes at the most I figoowe
Evewydoggie and Hammie and catses fwiends, I'm going to twy to leawn some chwissmuss cawols on the piano....awe you weady???
OK, I have to find the wight song to pwactice
Mommi awe you paying attention??
I get distwacted by the pwetty pictoowes..I think that's Mawy and the baby Jesus and some angelses..I think they'we twying to lullabye him
It's not easy to see the moosic and youw paws at the same time
I'm suwe glad I have thwee mowe weeks to pwactice..this is hawdew than I thought(after the piano playing, we had the results of stuffy destuffing, and Daddi slipper eating...Asta spent the rest of the day throwing up...then finally went to sneep with a gurgling empty tummy....she's fine now, so none of you worry...Asta's mommi)

What a diffewence a yeaw makes

Hi Evewydoggie, Hammi and Catses


I thought I would show you what a diffewence a yeaw has made in my life!
My pawents picked me up in Nowth Cawolina exackly one yeaw ago today..today I am one yeaw and two momfs old.
Back then I had no idea whewe I was going, when I adopted my pawents..I knew I loved them wight away , but I had no idea what life had in stowe fow me.
I guess I still don't know lots, but wow! I nevew knew I would have so vewy many wondewful fwiends all ovew the wowld who I love and cawe about, and who do the same fow me..I've had so many adventoowes, I have danced and played and fliwted, and twaveled and cwied and laughed, and I thank you all fow such a wondewful time!
I stay awake lots longew now..it's my pawents who wun out of steam, hehehehe

I was so tiwed that fiwst day, I couldn't stay awake, but i soon discovewed that my new Daddi had a big soft comfowting tummy to sneep on

I am a vewy lucky puppy with gweat pawents who love me and a wawm home with love and yummie eatables and so vewy many good fwiends, who could ask fow mowe

I was a tiny tike, hawdly biggew than Daddi's hand, but I aweady knew the joys of a gweat tummy wub

I'm so big I bawely fit on Daddi's big tummy now

It felt safe to be on daddi in a big new wowld

I still love welaxing on my Daddi's tummy

I was small and fuzzy and my face was all dawk

Is this weally all mine???
playing in my living woom..it's all mine and evewything smels familiaw
My vewy fiwst walk with my Mommi exackly one yeaw ago in Nowth Cawolina

I went fwom a 5.5lb giwl in Nowth Cawolina, named shouldew onespot, to Asta who is 18.5lbs and weaws bootiful cootoowe clothes and has a life in the big city...
Who knows what the footoowe holds, but so faw, it's been a gweat adventoowe!

Mommi's Bath

It was a nice aftewnoon, but I was concewned about my Mommi...she has been feeling vewy cwummy fow days now, and she was all shivewy...

I had and idea..you know how Hoomans awe weally weiwd and like a bath fow no weason at all, I mean they don't even have to get muddy ow slimed ow anything befowe they want to take one..well I thought a wawm bubble bath would be just the thing fow hew and then a snooze in bed with me snuggled up beside hew to keep hew wawm
We have a teenie ,tiny single bathwoom...BUT! just look at ouw bathwoom wug! it's TinTin and Milou...this is EXACTLY how Daddi and I look in the mownings..it's amazing what a gweat likeness it is..I should pwobably sue them fow stealing ouw photogwaphs.
I got the bath weady fow my sick Mommi...
You can come now Mommi, the watew is all pawfect..it even has those bubbly things
Now this looks pwomising, a toy!
How come I don't get a wubbew ducky in my bath?
Now what awe you doing mommi???you'we going to get all winkly(I mean winkliew than nowmal)
I like to tickle the Mommi's toes,hehehe
Bubbles taste intewesting,but not neawly as good as they look
OK now I'm getting concewned..you've been in thewe too long Mommi , time to come out
I think it's time to go put Mommi to bed now and tuck hew in..I make an excellent space heatew!
