You, my Asta lovepup, are adorable awake or asleep! I LOVE that you and Bobo got to relax and only had to taste test all of that good cookin'!

That photo of you and your mommi walking down the road to your friend's house looked very much like the photo of her walking you down the road when she and your daddi went to pick you up as a pup. How fun to revisit your roots!

North Carolina will always hold a special place in my heart as the place where my lovepup was born!

Goober love & smooches,
Stanley

We all loved the picture of you and your mom walking down the road. It was lovely. What a nice dinner you had and a beautiful table arrangement.

Your Thanksgiving break away looked wonderful. The long journey there certainly was worth it.

You always have such yummy food, we always have to make sure we have a towel when we read your posts as the drool was starting to clog up the keybosrd! :-)

Hi Asta,
I think you definitely had the best job in the kitchen as the official 'taster'!
Mom says the ladies are all very smart to wear black outfits.. she does that when she has to go for a nice meal because she is a creless bum and always end up with food / gravy stains if she wears anything light colorued. Heehee..

Molly the Airedale said...

We are drooling looking at all of this tasty food! You always have the best adventures, Asta!

Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch

Hi, Asta -

You all seemed to have such a pawtastic time during Thanksgiving. Mama agrees with your Mommi about garlic smooshed potatoes. Mama loves smoohed potatoes.

Love -

Asta, What a great place to hang out! That big giant window is so nice. Is that water on the other side? Did you try swimming? Did you get any prosecco?

Yummm, I bet your Mommi had kitchen-envy with that huge and gorgeous kitchen. My Mommy sure did! And Mommi did a great job with the centerpiece-can you imagine what that would go for in a NYC florist?

I got a special can of "Thanksgiving Dinner" dog food (Mica got the feline version) for Thanksgiving, but not one bite of actual people food because Mommy had dinner with her friends The Little Rascals and they ate every last bite!

Your pal,

Petey

Jake of Florida said...

What a fun Thanksgiving and birthday adventure!!!

Asta, please tell your Mummi that our Mom loves her hairdo and her Bake a Lite necklace -- and would seriously like the cranberry/orange/ginger recipe. She had one a few years ago like that, which everybody loved, but she put it somewhere and hasn't found it since. (If she put us somewhere different, we'd be lost too, given her record of not remembering where she puts things!!).

Wirey love!!!

1. Muzzer would like to be in the queue for the cranberry relish receipt. In return, she has one with sour cream and jalapeno to trade. (dad loved it, maybe she could have skipped half the jalapeno for the rest of the folk)

2. Even Muzzer has serious kitchen envy going.

3. Your Mommi is looking skinnier! Keeping Fuzzbutt from peeing on the floors must be good for her?

4. We missed you at ThanksGibbing. Can you come visit when the Barkies are here in December? We could get you home for Christmas

That looks like an extra-scrumptious Thanksgiving feast! Being a taste-taster must have been a wonderful job, Asta. I would love to nom-nom-nom some of that cheese right now.

The WriggleButts said...

That sounded like a perfect Thanksgiving! I'd surely be thankful after a day like that ;)

That WAS a long drive from NY city! North Carolina is a good 6 hours' drive from here if we go to Raleigh where Mom used to live when she got her first doggie.

Ohhh did I see sweet potatoes and marshmallows on top? Mom sez it's not Thanksgiving without it! That sure was a yummy dinner you had!

Love,
Rudy

Wow!! What a great visit you had and such a beautiful place! It looks like the humans did a lot of cooking and eating. There must have been a lot of great smells. You had the right idea, kousin Asta, resting in the sun while everybody worked. Looks like you had things well under control. Hehe

Love and Koobuss Kisses,
Koobie

Joe Stains said...

Look at all that delicious FOOD! I would have been happy with just a block of that cheese all to myself. I am glad you got to be a taste tester, all the work of cooking seems like a pain. Your Mom had a Mommi-palooza!!

Cat Naps in Italy said...

It looks like the perfect Thanksgiving feast! And what a beautiful place to celebrate Thanksgiving! We had a party here in Italy. It was fun to celebrate Thanksgiving with our Italian friends. But now we are SICK of turkey! No more turkey please! At least not for another year!

Asta,

Looks like you had a very nice Thanksgiving adventure. Good food, good friends, and good family. I had to stay home this year, cause no doggies were invited to Thanksgiving dinner. I did get a good chewy though for watching the house.

Happy Birthday wishes to your Mommy.
