As soon as I woke up..I went out to look awound, it was a yucky day..gwey and ovewcast, and dweawy

But while I snept..it stopped waining...of couwse ,evewything was wet, when I woke up fwom my nap, but the sun had come out and it looked lots bettew
I went out to watch unkel S put his wind suwfing stuff away, and get out the boat wif the sails

We are thinking of Jackson all day today and have been looking out for the Dogstar every night.

Take care

Here Asta, I found the origin of catamaran for you:

1. a vessel, usually propelled by sail, formed of two hulls or floats held side by side by a frame above them. Compare trimaran.
2. a float or sailing raft formed of a number of logs lashed together, used in certain parts of India, South America, etc.
3. a quarrelsome person, esp. a woman.
4. Canadian Dialect. a wooden sled.
[Origin: 1690–1700; < Tamil kaṭṭa-maram tied wood]

If you look at the third definition, I guess Lacie can sometimes be a Cat, too, huh? hehehe I'd better be careful my date with her is coming up soon. Do you think her shots are all up-to-date?

Your pal,

Petey

Petra said...

OMDog, Asta, you deserve a metal because you are the bravest of the brave. I would NEVER have gone on that cat!

I'm hoping for the best as Jackson has his tests.

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

Lon Giland looks like so much fun, Asta!!! BTW, you black spots are soooooooooooooo BLACK!! Tell the twuth...did Mommi help ya out with a little Lady C????

We have so many things crossed here for Jackson we can't even walk....no matter what happens, Jackson can feel the LOVE...we know that!

That CAT boat looks amazing! Do they have a DOG boat?? That would rock!!!!!

Do you think Jackson liked my classical ballet dance? Oh, I hope so...my toe shoes fell off in the middle of it, but it seemed to go ok...it's hard keepin' shoes on all four paws!!!

Barkin' at ya my BFF...I'm going to go wash, iron and lavender scent Jackson's sheets so they'll be fresh when he comes home. I also made the J's a couple of nerve soothing smoothies with the only additives being LOVE...we know how worried they are.....

Stanley said...

Astaroni!

You are a pup of many talents. Now you can add sailing to that long list.

I bet it was total bliss with the wind and the spray in your face! I think you found a CAT that every pup could live with!

I'm so glad you have a mommi & daddi who drag you around with them wherever they go. That's the way I think it should be!

Please send extra reviving smooches to Myrna at Casa de Crazy!

Here's a Cat-load of smooches for you!

Goober love,
Stanley

Eric said...

Asta. What a suprise! I didn't know there was another kind of cat either... did it purr along in the water? Brave of you to go out in it without wearing your armbands!

Wagging for good news from Jackson.The dog star is illuminated day and night now this side of the pond.

Well we have been thinking about that boat and can't decide if we think we could go on it... probably not.......we would fall over board! Love A+A

Deb Cushman said...

You were really brave to go on the water in that cat! I would have been nervous! It's too bad about the rain and yucky weather, but what a beautiful place to rest and relax!

Deefor said...

Hey Asta
That looks like a really pretty boat. My mom's been on those but not me. The biggest cat I've ever seen. I think I'd have been a scardy-cat.

Snowball said...
