(We've continued our very loud barking and Mom decided, since it was for Jackson, that she'd not shush us as she usually does.

Oh my dogness we cannot believe we were actually permitted to present Lenny with his Gold Medal.

He has been absolutely marvellous contributing so much and it was such an honour to be able to shake his paw. His video will surely be at the top of the list as a highlight of the 2008 Paw-Limpic games.

Fenway said...

I need your help, Asta Baby.

I am running for the Plum TV Dog of the Month contest and the Aug. 15 deadline is looming. I have hardly any votes cause Ms. Alpha ran a terrible PR campaign. So I'm asking all my doggie friends to go to this website and paw out your vote by clicking on Fenway!

Congrats on your Pawlympics medals!

Deetz said...

I applaud your Lenny....A GOLD METAL...the highest honor. I bow to Lenny.
Dear Asta, A friend of mine, Fenway, needs votes for a photo contest, and his mum is a horrible manager, and so he hired me to get him votes.....of course Super Deetzy Boy came to the rescue...would you go vote for him when you have a moment....big paw hugs

Petra said...

Asta, one time my mom mixed some pumpkin in my food, but I wouldn't eat it. I'm kind of leary about mixing hard food with soft food, you know what I mean? I mean it seems kind of suspicious.

Anyway, then I got some pumpkin by itself and I loved it! I think I need pumpkin EVERY day, don't you?

Charlie Daniels said...

Cheers

Charlie
