My Family is gwowing




You might wondew what all the stowks delivewing babies is all about...well it's like this:
Momo, Pinot,Sassy and Momo, I are becoming fursiblings officially!


Momo and Sassy cat both asked me if I would be theiw sissy..we all come fwom vewy small families and I've always wanted to live with lots and lots of sissys and bwuvvews, ..We have been fwiends fow a while now and weally loved each othew and so I was vewy happy to accept theiw invitation...well, thewe was even mowe to come, because, Momo is twins with Momo the cavaliew in Towonto, so obviously Momo and Pinot also became my siblings.




Sassy made the wondewful stowk pictoowes..she imagined us all being delivewed to the same family.


Mommi helped me make the buttons that will go on ouw side baw showing us as bwuvvew and sissys and then just all the giwls in one


This is an extension of the NOMSS challenge that Karl of the cat realm posted...lets show everybody how we cross borders and have no patience for prejudices, racism and intolerance towards others! hoomans could leawn fwom us!!



To celebrate this occasion Momo and Pinot's dad found this New Zealand wine, named Momo Pinot Noir, "momo" in Maori means offspring, how appropriate and auspicious! It is going to be our official family wine, to be used in toasting and consumed in celebrations.


Now, let's drink to that!
Sissys (and Bwuddew) Forever!
May our bonding be a long and happy one!

Have a gweat weekend evewyone!!
Love and happy smoochie kisses
Asta

It's been a vewy stwessful few weeks..so many of ouw fwiends have been sick ow injoowed..we just needed a little welaxation with close fwiends..

Snickers was sick and tiwed of the hoomungous snow(I told hew to send it to me , but no luck)

Stella was annoying Stanley a little too much, plus she needs some oldew sisssy advice

Koobie was lonely on Mountain top with snow and twees falling ovew

Lacie, well you can imagine the twauma of being the tuggeee in a tug-a -lakie game played by baby Stan and Scruffy

and poow Agatha has been nuwsing hew deeaw Bwuvvew Archie day and night , and was going stiw cwazy, not being allowed to wun, just cause he couldn't...so she gave him some wheels and shipped him off fow a holiday to England with Jackson..and she took the twain down to see me


Mommi pwomised not to tag along, so thewe will not be any pictoowes of us getting ouw haiw and nails done, ow shopping, ow having pastwies , ow shopping, ow having dwinks, ow shopping ow checking out the NY boyz, ow shopping...you get the pictoowe





This is the only one we wewe willing to pose fow..it was dinnew when evewyone fiwst awwived...then lots of gossip and looking at magzazines fow ideas fow ..you guessed it..shopping and then a good sneep. notice the bootiful necklace Agatha is weawing..she ummm bowwowed it fwom hew Mom..it was made by Lorenza's aunt..what a bootiful piece of jewelwy..I think hew om is a little anxious about it..she called about twenty times aweady.....don't wowwy..we'we looking out fow evewyone including Agatha's jewels.

WHY MY PAWENTS GOT A WFT (PAWT TWO)

My pawents wewe living a pawfectly nice life in Los Angeles whewe they met(both wewe at UCLA) ................................but something was missing!!!

Obviously a doggie!!

The building they lived in wefoosed to let them get one...jewks!!!!!, plus Mommi was weally sick and tiwed of not having any weathew, and she was homesick fow Euwope and a weal city whewe you could walk awound, (In LA , they pwactically awwest you if you'we not in a caw)

she wanted to bump into fwiends on the stweet and have theatwe and stuff and, well since she couldn't go back to Euwope, she thought..why don't we move to NYC!!!!!!
she was sick of painting in owange hazy light.."give me nowth light she said"...and by the way..we'll be just like Nick and Nora Charles...we'll have a ball!(and of course a fox terrier)
(well as you know, I look like Asta, but my pawents didn't quite manage to look as good as Nick and Nowa,hehehe)
Anothew one of Ami's cwazy ideas is what he was thinking,but daddi being Daddi , he just said "OK let's go..."



So they got an apawtment in Manhattan's Faw West Village, looking nowth(as a bonus you can see the Hudson wivew and all the big ships goung to Euwope..plus wight outside ouw window is whewe Mommi fiwst stepped on Amewican soil..isn't that cool?)
Of couwse the fiwst thing they did aftew unpacking is wun and get a wiwe fox tewwiew..they named him Nikki, then came Nowa, and then Charly..then they wan out of the hooman names and had to get obvious and named me Asta



I got wight into the spiwit of my pawents cwazy NY life..I sometimes watch the movies stawwing Skippy(who played Asta , just to wefwesh my memowy about how to behave, hehehe)


And Mommi and hew fwiends sometimes get to pwetend theiw all Nowa Chawles and dwink vawious pawtinis






so now this is what we look like hehehe
So that's how come my pawents have wft.I guess it's mostly cause my Mommi is nuts and ummm, well, so awe we fwankly.



Thank you all fow wishing my Mommi a speedy wecovewy..she's been in bed all weekend, and is a pwetty bad patient as expected..but My Daddi and I awe nuwsing hew, and with ouw cawe she should be fine soonest
Now one mowe impowtant thing!!!
I got this lovely awawd fwon the wiggle butts in Nowway!

I thank them vewy vewy much and would like to pass it on to my dawling little Kousin Koobie, who can make my day by just giving me one of those adowable looks that make me laugh and want to wun to hew house and hug hew lots
