This is a splendid post! Waht fun we had! Certainly more cultural and sophisticated than Rio. Each has its own charm. So good to see beautiful Mommi and Daddi there in Venice. At least we got off paying our apartment bills. Thanks for picking up our bills, so generous of them! We should invite them every time.
Waouw tu en as de la chance....
Ici je ne vois Véronique que vite vite parce que c'est Carnaval. Elle a fait 18 ans dans une guggen alors maintenant elle fait seulement les photos....mais elle est très très fatiguée !
Bisous et amuse-toi bien !
Goodness Asta, you sure get around. Wow Venice!! Your costume is amazing. What a shame you couldn't stay until the end. Never mind, maybe next year.

Ooo, I would love to dress up as one too. Does my last year's Halloween dress up look like a Venice too?
Love licks,
Solid Gold Dancer
That looks like a very fun and wonderful trip you went on. Venice sure is beautiful, and I loved all the fancy outfits.
You sure do have the bestest fun, Asta!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
We had a great time. And it was so nice to meet you. ~Socks, Scylla & Charybdis
Your pictures are just beautiful! This was such a fun trip - we enjoyed it very very much! Mrs. OZ is very taken by Asta - such a sophisticated dog, she says all the time, hahahahahahahah!
What a wonderful opportunity and such fun! You are getting to be a jet setting doggie Darlin'
Love the photos
Gussie
Too much fun that we had. I sure was surprised that your mom and dad were there. With all of those masks it was hard to tell that there were humans at the ball. They sure are nice and you have such a neat mom and daddy.
In your group photo near the end Roscoe and I are hiding on the far right. Ha, ha, ha, got ya.
Hi Asta
Your kitty friends look like loads of fun!!!
You are forgiven on one condition that you promise to visit Atlanta in the month of June as its my birthday,mommy forgot the date so we may celebrate it on June 5!
Frasier
We;re sorry you're delirious, Asta. It must be from all the traveling you've been doing lately.
Percy had a great time in Venice and we're enjoying looking at all the photos.
jans funny farm
i would have loved the gondola and going through the palace!
where are you off to next?
Oh what fun we had in Venice. I am so glad that so many got to arrive and enjoy the carnival. I have sent you photos via e-mail that I think will help with the blurry stuff. Or maybe we just had a little too much wino when we were in Italy. Speaking of too much wine have ya seen Opus and Roscoe.?
hi Asta, that looks so incredible. our mom says that's one of her most desired places to visit. but she also says she will never go cuz 1)-she won't go there without us 2)-she doesn't want to fly. do you think if we got a moped we could all go together? do mopeds float? well, maybe we will just admire your pictures and dream.
speaking of dreaming, we finally posted our answers to the tag that you gave us. sorry we took so long. we had to do a lot of thinking and discussions about just what we would do. if we only get 3 wishes, we have to make them good ones. hee hee!
woofers.
Asta we just cannot believe how much travelling you do! You are a true "jet-setter"!
Molly and Taffy

You are such a world traveler and you lead such an exciting romantic life! What fun for us to read about it in little old Paducah.

Dear Asta,
We were very upset last night as we watched the Westminster Dawg Show. The WFT was robbed!!! :( We were all rooting for our WFT friend. If you were in the show, we think you would have won - paws down. :)
Oh, and Momma has managed to read about half of The Thin Man. She thinks that you are much more well behaved than that schnauzer, Asta. You wouldn't go jumping on people's bellies and stuff. hee hee
Love,
Tazo
This was FABULOUS! Thanks so much for sharing your trip with us, Asta. When is your next one? I can hardly wait to see more pictures!
Thanks for the valentine! Don't tell Martha. Your trip looked awesome!
Ike
Looks like you had a fabulous time! Thanks for our valentine!
OK, that confirms it. Minnesota is the most boring frozen tundra on earth....(we need to get out more)
~ChaChi and JET
Hi Sassy - just stopping by to tell you again that I had a great time in Venice with the gang! You've posted all the pictures of all the fun we had - got to bring that photographer along everywhere we go!

My most humble, humblest apologies - I calle dyou Sassy, Asta; please forgive my doggie faux-paw! I might not be all there, but I do know what blog I'm on, it's just that champagne from venice still has an effect....!
