Sweet Astaroni!

You always have the best photos of everything we do together! You and all the girls had so many fabulous outfits you kept our head spinning. (The champaigne, pawtinis and all that dancing didn't help.) hehehe

Can't wait to enjoy the rest of our weekend of love!

Goober love & smooches,
Stanley

Happy Valentine's Day Asta!

(Was Stanley slipping you the tongue in that last photo? How racy! Remember, there are young pups on these blogs...)

Anyhow, I am a bit distressed at your BFF. She asked me to take her out so we're doubling with Eric and Toffee next weekend to celebrate Toffee and my birthdays in Paris. And now, not even a week earlier, I find her sprawled in a chair, showing off all her wares to Opus once again.

I know you say she's a "flirt" but there's a fine line between a flirt and a you-know-what and I think Lacie may have crossed it. I'm considering canceling the whole weekend!

Broken-heartedly yours,

Petey

Abby said...

Hi, Asta...

Now that's a Pawty...

Happy Valentine's Day...

Scratchy Paw said...

Quite the waggy Valentine's day. You lucky dog!

Unknown said...

Okay okay - I'll be more patient with Lacie. But I won't be surprised if she has those mysteriously swollen lips again after today!

And of course, I flop in a chair - I'm a boy!

I think I need Stanley to take me shopping for some of those black velvet (or were they leather?) pants before next weekend. But he probably shops at the Big & Tall store whereas I have to frequent the Short & Scruffy shop!

Your pal,

Petey

We had a great time with you. This was such a fun party and Sicily is so pretty and the castle was so elegant. We wishes we could stay here for ever. ~Socks, Scylla & Charybdis

Happy Valentines Asta, I hope to be as well mannered a dog as you are one day. It is raining here and the ground is very wet so it is no fun to go outside. ~Fenris

OMD...for once I have an innocent weekend and all that Petey can do is complain. I sat in a chair...with a dress on...is that illegal??????? Did he call me a tramp in not so many words...and HE'S thinkin' bout callin the Paris weekend off????

Lacie growls deep in her throat. Honestly Asta...how wude of him.

Anyway...this pawty is pawsitively divine...thanks SOOOOOOOO MUCH for letting me borrow those purple outfits...I know you look amazing in orange, but you could so wear purple too...can you see me in orange? I don't think so!

That Opus is such a gentleman kitty. Just a complete total sweetheart!!!

Speakin' of sweethearts, you and Stan surely looked coziest this weekend! I hafta admit he looked like he was pantin' just standin' by ya!

Happiest Valentine's Day, my Sweet BBF!!!!!

Love and kisses...Lacie

Pee Ess...do you think Stella has a smaller butt than me?????????

Rudy said...

You guys sure know how to party! Mom didn't take us anywhere today, she and Dennis went to a gun show instead. Mom said Nothing says love like a gun show (she was KIDDING -- she was so bored in the house she went with Dennis to have some company!). At least she got some chocolate out of it and some hours outside the house. That's about as romantic as our Dennis gets!

Love,
Romantic Rudy
