Sophie Brador said...

Asta, Mom is so sad she couldn't come back for the party. She thought it looked like so much fun. I probably would have tried to get into Duffy's box for a snooze with him. I tend to be a bit on the quieter side, unless there's food of course.

Happy B-day smoochies to your mommy!

Happy Birthday again to Mommi, and congratulations to all of you on a lovely pawty. Muzzer loves Mommi's hat, and thinks the ladies all look lovely. And your Daddi is soooooo handsome. My Dad doesn't fit in his tuxedo anymore. He blames it on all the weight he gained with E.Rabbit and E.Beth. Wait a minute..that is muzzer's excuse too. somethhing is not right here!

Maybe I will figure it out when I am older.

We can't think of any famous movie standard poodles but we wish we could have gone to that party. It looked like tons of fun. Belated Happy Birthday to Ami/Mommi. You look far younger than your stated age.

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

Dear Sweet Asta!

Mumsie here! I just typed you a long witty comment and blogger ate it! Grrr. (HBO word...)

Asta...what a lovely post on a lovely party!

To say I was a bit surprised to see Scruffy, Lacie and Babystan at the party would be an understatement. Lacie had assured me that she and the boyz would be very busy this weekend continuing their work with recently rescued homeless rats...they seem to be very involved in this type of communtity service...I started to chastise Scruffy, when I heard the whirring of the blender and Lacie brought me the most amazing Mango smoothie...after the third one, their being at the pawt er party was simply fabulous! I hope I wasn't um too relaxed...wasn't Lacie or was it Auntie Karen 'splodin' the lamp hilarious??? Oh my...

I played the video...I surely don't remember us being that loud and unruly!!!

Your mommi and daddi are so much in love Sweet girl...and they love you so very much!

I think I may have Lacie fix me another one of those nouishing smoothies...she said that I could hold the glass on my eye; that it would bring down the swelling and help with the bruising...

I feel really badly that the boyz got a hold of my memory stick in my camera...they were giggling wildly...something about a STAIN on the carpet before the pawty? Have no idea what they are talking about? Or do I? Those smoothies are making my memory a tad hazy!

Oh...Lacie told me she found you a fabulous orange purse at Century 21 for just $16.00...she is such a little bargain hound. She was a bit concerned that she had borrowed our plastic, but (Mumsie takes another sip of smoothie) I assured her that a good sale should never be ignored....

Love to you and your sweet parents!

Kissies...Auntie Mumsie

Pee Ess...am sending Myrna some nicotine patches and gum......

Wow, looks like one heck of a fab party!! Ami, you are truly truly blessed to have such an amazing hubby and friends and family.

Happy happy year.

Stanley said...

Sweet Astaroni Fuzzbutt!

We LOVE the photos from your mommi's party, and we wish all of us from GooberStan could have been there too! My girl *almost* bought a last minute ticket and was thinking of showing up at the door unannounced, but in the end she pooped out on that idea. I can't believe she missed the party of the century!! (She's dying to meet Unkel Tony and the gang!)

Mumsie looks so at home at your house. I bet it was a big treat for her to have a break from her terrier trio and to bask in your wonderful fuzzlove for a whole weekend!

I loved your pearls at the party, but I think you would have been the most bootiful creature there even if you had not accessorized. I know that accessories are the key to fashion, but you don't need any embellishments! You are GORGEOUS!

My girl says that your daddi needs some big smooches from all of us for being the love of your mommi's life and for throwing her the big schnazzy shindig!! I bet he and your mommi have been sleeping ever since the last guest went home!

We are so stinkin' glad that your mommi was born, that she found your daddi, and that you found them! We are priveleged to be your friends (especially me, as your love pup)!

Goober love & loads of birthday smooches,
Stanley, Stella, Merv & our girl

What a wild party. Your family looks to be having fun playing dress up. I like your mom's road kill wrap. Maybe I could borrow it.

Pee S - Do you know if dogs are allowed on the subway and PATH trains? Mom says we are going to someplace called NJ not too far from the Big Apple. That sure sounds tasty.

This almost made Mom leaky eyed with happiness to know how much FUN you had at your party and what great friends and husband you have to make it perfect for you. It is always so nice when nice things happen for good people. That piano player must have been tired he was playing a snappy tune in that video!
