NewHamstew last pawt

This is the little sitting woom next to ouw bedwoom..thewe awe windows on bof sides, so the light and bweeze awe always nice..we'we vewy lucky to get this woom..thewe awe zillions, but this is my favowite sweet..lots of places to sit and wun awound even when I'm inside



Mommi was outside having coffee and ummm and evil stick, while waiting fow bweakfast..I tied hew up fow punishment (she was weawing a TinTin T-shiwt to sneep in , fow those of you wiwy types who know what that is)

It was Daddi's tuwn to cook..he made lemon wicotta pancakes ..Mommi only put the powdewed sugaw, lemon wind and blackbewwie decowations on....she got off weal easy, but then she's pwetty useless in the mowning

natoowally I taste tested it befowe sewving it to anyone...wouldn't want them poisoned, hehehe


Auntie Kawen's Sissy Wobewta twied to play wif me..she is vewy sweet and loves me, but I don't think she weally knows what to do wif a wiwy kid...she's used to bettew behaved doggies

auntie Kawen and Mommi wewe weawing theiw twin shoes..awen't they silly???


we went fow a dwive and to find anti-Q stowe and gawage sales..I saw this bootiful little cweek, but I wasn't allowed to go in..Booooooooo
we passed lots of little lakes and pwetty holiday hotels

and I found out that when Daddi was a puppi, he went to a summew camp awound hewe
the antiQ place wouldn't let me in, so Daddi sat wif me outside..Mommi said evewything was too expensive and she could buy it in NY fow that..besides, she doesn't need anything
finally we got back home, and I got my lunch..punkin wif Kibble..I love it


today was a gweat day fow playing cwocket..so we went to the back of the house...thewe used to be a tea house and tennis couwt here when Pwesident Cleveland came fow his summews, but they'we gone nowthat little house will be fixed up as auntie Susan's studio...Mommi was jelly

so they measoowed and stuff and stuck little wiwe tunnels in the gwass and then said we'we weady to play
I was not invited to play..I heawd wumows that they thought I might chew the wooden stickies and the balls too...I have no idea why they would think that
so I was tied up and allowed to watch and cheew..that's all

and this is the stoopid view I had..They figoowed that if I could see the ball wolling, and being hit, I would twy to get it

Daddi plays weally well....Mommi.....not so much, hehehehe



I got intewested in this woodpile next to the gawage, and guess what, the day aftew we left..thewe was a beaw thewe...gulp..that was a nawwow escape



the hoomans got silliew and silliew as the game pwogwessed

I think this stuff they wewe dwinking the whole time had something to do wif it
they claimed it impwoved theiw game, all I know is they suwe got vewy giggly

fow instance...just look at auntie Kawen..........................................................I west my case..
they even knocked the little tunnels down and had to put them back
it looks like auntie Kawen is, umm sitting on that stick..I think that's illegal
well, being wefewee and cheewing gave me quite an appetite!

auntie Kawen was the cook that night..It was a gweat soufwestewn wecipe fwom a guy called Bobby Flay....gwilled salmon
and salsa, and potato salad that stings...I only had the salmon

I got sneepy fwom all the excitement, and soon went to bed


the hoomans moved to the scweened powches, cause they wewe being eaten alive by mosquitos

the next mowning we wewe leaving..Dot was guawding the food fow us till we came to bweakfast..he was vewy polite and didn't snitch any , the way I would have

Unkel Dick made Fwench toast wif fwuit, and owange sauce and snausages...guess what my favowite pawt was, hehehehehe snausages!!!!!



a last sad look awound

Auntie Sue and Unkel Dick waved goobye as we dwove off..they awe the best hosts evew!! Thank you fow a faboolous Fouwf of July...see you soon!!!!



let's go home


pleeze fwiends..cwoss youw paws fow tomowwow..

Daddi gets his wesults fwom his six momfly cancew checkup, and auntie Kawen is having suwgewy...
I may not be able to post ow answew vewy wegoolawly fow a while, cause Mommi is taking cawe of auntie Kawen, but I'll twy to do it as much as I can
love to all of you,and smoochie kisses,ASTA

Asta Sweetie: Thank you for sharing your lovely holiday with us. We liked the fact that Mommi and Auntie Karen not only had matching shoes, but matching toenails too! The food looked yummy, the croquet divine, and of course, your company made it the penultimate holiday getaway.

Kisses to your Daddi and Auntie Karen today, and lots of hugs to Mommi. You be good and help her lots, she will need you.

Moco said...

What a lovely holiday at such a lovely place. We so enjoy seeing pictures of other parts of the country and world.
Our best to daddi and Aunti Karen.

Jake of Florida said...

Asta,

Tell your mommi we do have our paws -- eight canine and eight human -- all crossed for your daddi and your Aunt Karen. We know your love will be of great help during this stressful time for everyone.

Tell your daddi though that, when Mom was a pup herself (eons ago), she went to a camp in New Hamster. It was a camp for girls called Eagle Point -- and there was a boys camp across the lake -- called Stinson, if her memory hasn't completely gone bye bye.

Lots of love sweetie. Let us know how things are as soon as you can!!!

Jake and Just Harry

Deetz said...

My paws are crossed.....they will stay crossed until good news. If auntie kawen needs care and you need a break, you could come and get me in KS (out of jail) and I could help out...
PS my mum was nice last night and she still loves me alot.

Koobuss said...

I loved your pictures of New Hamster, especially the videos. What a lovely place! Too bad that they would not let you play croquet. You would show them how it is done the fox terrier way. First you pick up the ball and then you run as far and as fast as you can. Everybody chases you, trying to get the ball back, but since you are faster than any of them, they can never win. And that is the proper fox terrier way to play croquet.

Best of luck to your Daddi in his six month checkup and to your Aunti Kawen in her surgery. I know that everything will go just fine for the both of them. Tell your Mommi not to try to do too much. We don't need her down, too.

Love and Koobuss Kisses to Everybody,
Kousin Koobie

Ashley said...

You pictures look amazing! Those pancakes and blackberries are making me hungry!!!

Asta...

Oooh, we mustn forget...
This is the most important...
Food aside. We're keeping your Beloved Daddy & Aunt Karen in our thoughts and prayers.

May GOD keep them under his Almighty wings, be safe!

We'll pop by when you're back!
To hear your good news of course.

Huggies,
Rudolf & Goofy

Stanley said...

Astaroni!

New Hamster looks like a FAB place to get away and celebrate your friends! I'm thinking the food was enough reason to be there, but it looks like the silliness and giggling were good reasons too.

I'm stinkin' happy your daddi got a clean bill of health at the dogtor's office. I'll be thinking of you and your mommi taking care of Auntie Kawen over the next week. I'm sure she'll recover faster if she has you there to nurse her. Give her lots of healing goober smooches from me & Stella!

Goober love & smooches for you,
Stanley

Peanut said...

What a lovely time you had. All our thoughts are with your daddi and Auntie Karen.

erin said...

Asta, I just finished reading all about your trip to New Hampster in 3 parts. It looked like you had a very good time. It's so nice of your parents to take you everywhere with them. In one of your videos your mom was acting just like my girl...telling you not to eat grass and wanting to get your eye gunk out for you. Maybe that's just a mom thing.
Woof,
Keeley
