Excooses

I'd like to explain why I have been a lousy fwiend and not visited you, my sweet fwiends lately

Mommi did something to hew neck..it's been huwting since Novembew and getting wowsew and wowses. It got so that she could paint, ow wite ow do any of the stuff she likes

I think the spwing is bwoken..she can't hold it up wifout pain

so finally today she went to see hew Dogtow to get the wesults of some Xways..
the wowds awe too long fow me, but the end wesult is hew neck is a weck.

Since she doesn't want suwgewy, he suggested that she weaw one of these awful things at home.

I guess it's bettew than one of these

this might not be bad..she could join my woyal fwiends (maybe Ewic could buy hew a title at Howwids too)



hew dogtow pawscwibed these to welax hew muscles

as an expewienced skientist and Dogtow, I disagwee wif him and gave Mommi my pawscwiption

to be taken well chilled accompanied by kisses fwom me and a good mystewy book
then to weally cheew hew up, I decided to colow hew haiw
I used my Owange o tang as a model..I think he has pawsome haiw
VWA-LAH!!!!!!


We will twy to visit all of you soon
love and smoochie kisses

Asta, we completely understand! Mommy takes the muscle relaxers for her back, which hurts a lot. We just have to take care of our mommies!! I love the orange hair! I wonder if Mommy would let me do hers? Hmmmm...Woo is a great friend! I hope the mommy gets better soon!!!

Oh oh Asta! That picture of you in a lab coat really does it for me! What a gal!

So sorry to hear about your Mommi's neck problems. I hope that between you and the doctor, she gets some helpful remedies.
Cheers, H.

Asta,

So sorry to hear that your Mommi is having neck problems - we hope it gets better soon. Our Granny had to wear one of those neck things after being in a car accident and it helped her feel better. Granny didn't try the martini therapy, but our Mom believes it might do the trick!

Gently give you Mommi our kisses and hugs,
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh and Java

We are all so sorry your mommi's neck spring is broken. We think your prescription is probably much more effective than the doctor's -- just don't use both at the same time!!! And are there massage therapists near you who could help?

We hope that, in some secret way, we haven't contributed. The secret in question hasn't arrived yet but when it does we will woof as loudly as we can.

We have to find a good hiding place though -- Mom hasn't figured that one out as yet!!

In the meantime, wirey wirey love -- and check out the latest Laciegirl post. Our wheelie "scraps of felt" have provoked the beast!! But we don't think messing with two talented Frenchies who are immune to her "charms" will get her very far!!!

Oh dear Asta, your poor Mummy feeling so much discomfort and not being able to do all the things she would like to do.


We hope that your gentle care of her and the neck brace help to keep her comfy and the pain will go away very very soon.

Hi, Asta -

Neck pain is no fun. Mama sometimes experiences neck pain from working at the computer too long.

We hope she gets better soon. But we know you will take good care of her.

Kaci is here visiting with us now. We hope you have a good 4th of July.

Love -

Hershey and Kaci

Gus said...

Oh dear. We think the Orange hair should be a trend setter. We think your pawscription is better than the dogtor's. And we think you should check to see if you know any of the latest medical marvels, catcupuncturists. Or maybe Mango can do some Shiatsu?

Oh Dear, Asta...that collar on your mommi looks very uncomfy...and that lampshade collar...well, we know how fun those are...I have no idea how she can eat or chew on tennis balls with that thing on.....I think your new smoothie concoction is totally amazing...is she still sleeping??????????

Um..the or ang it tang hair is well, VERY ORANGE...I love that demented artistie look you have on your face while you're highlighting her...maybe I could come and we could try some foils??? I'm thinkin' if we wrap her head in foil and STORE IT IN YOUR OVEN...well...she should melt nicely....

Pehaps we can wrap some hoki fish in foils and broil it at the same time????? MIAM!!

Well...Mumsie has to workie tomorrow...sniff...It's just so much work for me to manage the boyz...

Love ya girl...!

Lacie

Um...the french wheelies are threatening a suit...(wonder if it will be clubs, spades or diamonds...I'm hopin' for diamonds!) and since they are retaining a competent lawyer and all I have is Scruffy, I've hired Petey to act as a mediator...he has the gift of gab, and I can pay him in tennis balls...thank dog...

Gotta run...

Oh, Asta. We know nothing hurts any more than a bad neck and the headaches that go with it. We wish there was something we could do to help your mommi feel better. Maybe knowing that your friends are thinking about you all, and that we care, will help. We hope so. And maybe if you offer her one of your treats, it'll make her feel good. Give her one from us. 'kay?

Love,
Miss Fergi and Jake

The Cat Realm said...

You are too much Asta! Putting one of those collars on your Mom, hahahahahahahaha!
Lots and lots of purrs to her so she will be better soon!

Agatha and Archie said...

Oh dear oh dear,we are so behind as well and are so sorry about your Mom's neck..we also agree that your prescription is a much better one.... Pl2 says to let her know if she needs anything.........Love and ksises A+A

Koobuss said...

Oh no! What a pain in the neck that is!!! Your mommi is way too nice to have these kinds of problems.

We wish her the best of luck and send lots of healing vibes and paw power and love and everything you can think of to her so that she will feel better soon. How yucky that she has this, especially now that the nice warm weather is here. What a bummer!!

Give her lots and lots of kisses and attention, Kousin Asta, and that will help to cheer her up. And give lots to Daddi. He could use some, too.

Love and lots of Koobuss Kisses to Everybody,
Kousin Koobie

I sure hope her neck gets better soon. Maybe she should go see that guy who does massages and stuff. And my mom bought this book and says it's really good for everything muscle that hurts. http://www.amazon.com/Stretching-Anatomy-Arnold-G-Nelson/dp/0736059725/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1246504843&sr=8-5

Baby Rocket Dog and Hootie said...

Oh your poor mommy. Your ideas for different collars was brilliant! We especially liked the one like we have both had to wear...hoomans should have to wear those awful things just to know how they feel!!

Wish your momma well for us.

Lorenza said...

Toffee said...

Asta!

We agree your pawscription sounds much much better!!

We also think that a "wire coat" massage would do some good too!

Angel MoMo and Charlotte said...

Oh dear, neck pain is horrid as attested bt 'pain in the neck'. Sorry, sorry, hope mommi feels better soon with your prescription.

Faya said...

Transmet à ta Mamy tout plein de petits bisous de notre part. Ne t'en fais pas pour les visites, prends d'abord soin d'elle. C'est le plus important.
Bisous, Faya

Stanley said...

Sweet Astaroni FuzzButt o' my heart!

I can't wait to see your mommi's orangutan orange haire! I bet it is FABulous, and quite eye-catching.

Please tell your mommi that if she needs me, I will try to get my girl to find a way to get me to your house so she can immediately begin goober hug therapy. It works very well (my girl can attest to that)! All I do is amble over, put my head over whichever shoulder she prefers, then lean my neck against hers. I use my head to gently apply pressure to her head so she gets a good stretch going, then the warmth from my goober bod will help relax the ache away. I think if we added that to the martinimystery therapy she'd be great in no time!

Let me know!

Goober love & smooches,
Stanley

Huskee and Hershey said...

Hi Asta,
We are so sorry to hear abt your mom's ouchie neck!! Sending her loads of healing kisses... maybe she needs more rest so that the ouchies will go away? I know Nurse Asta will do a great job looking after her!

(Our mom's been complaining abt an ouchie back too. She thinks the doc who gave her the epidural shots did not do a good job and now her back hasn't stopped aching.)

Noah the Airedale said...

Oh Asta, did you give your mummy orange hair hehehe that is so cool.
D sure understands how your mummy feels. She has a wreck for a neck too.....and back....and shoulder hehe. They're both wrecks!
Maybe we should paint D's hair orange.

Sorry about your mom, Asta! I'm sure her human doctor means well but your prescription looks like it would be more fun ...

Daisy said...

Asta, I like the sound of your treatment plan! I sure hope your mom will feel all better soon. A hurty neck must be No Fun at all!

Oh Asta! Your poor mommi!

Moco said...

Take care of that neck. We are looking forward to seeing the orange hair.

Dexter said...

Poor mumsie!

I agree that the neck surgery is not the first choice to replace a broken spring. Besides, those muscle relaxin drugs are da bomb! Weeee!

Slobbers,
Mango

gordy and georgie said...

Ooh but remind Mommi that she can fancy up her collar with scarves and pretty pins! We know that even with a neck collar, your Mommi has style. Your advice is most excellent.

Chef said...

Your poor Mommy, Asta. I hope she's feeling better soon. Give her lots of cuddles and shmoozles. That'll make her neck spring all relaxed again.

I know it's not funny to be in pain but the picture of your mommy in the V-collar is hysterical. GWS!

Joe Stains said...
