You are so lucky Asta. Gail likes ice-cream so much that she almost NEVER lets me have any, not even a single lick! SO mean.
Cheers, H.

Oh my goodness, you are so lucky, Asta!!! I only get ice-cream as a special treat sometimes, when we go to the beach in summer and my humans take me to the ice-cream shop by the beach...but I've never had in Gelato in Rome...WOW!

Slobbers,

Unknown said...

Sorry - forgot to ask - am really curious, Asta - how did you go to Rome? Were you allowed to just go and have a holiday there? I thought doggies going from America to Europe would have to do horrible quarantine? And did you fly in an airplane??

Slobbers,
Honey the Great Dane

Hi, Asta -

We remembered how you enjoyed the gelato. Mama actually gave me (Hershey) a little of Papa's homemade ice cream. I guess I'll have to beg for more.

Oh what a wonderful weekend! We so enjoyed spending time with you at Rosie and Petey's absolutely incredible wedding. You've helped us expand our world in ways we never might have imagined. And we love it!

And how did we top it off? Just like you! Enjoying ICE CREAM! Now that we've seen all the possibilites, we'll be hoping Moma takes us to NYC AND to Rome for gelato and superdelicious fun!

Love,
Sissie Fergi and Bruvver jake

Koobuss said...

Oh kousin Asta!! National Ice Cream Day has to be the best day of the year!! I just love ice cream!!! Unfortunately, I didn't know about this special day until now. Wow!! What have I been missing??? At least there is still a little time left in today for me to have some and celebrate National Ice Cream Day in the proper manner. Such a wonderful occasion needs a special observance on my part.

Thanks for letting us know about this important event. I'm going to go celebrate now with an ice cream while I still have time.

Love and Koobuss Kisses,
Koobie

Liffey said...

I only read your blog today- the 20th. Is it too late to celebrate icecream day?
Hope not

Noah the Airedale said...

Clearly the Leuradales are missing out. We've tried ice-cream once.....yes once. Isn't that the biggest injustice you've ever heard of!

Inky and Molly said...

Oh you are a lucky girl. We certainly have never had ice cream let alone eaten anything off a plate on the table or off the spoon even... We are going to complain to the pinkie RIGHT NOW...

tula monstah said...

Asta

Thoughts said...

Hi asta,

Oh my we LOVES ice cream, but we have never had or heard of gelato. What is it? we actually know our friend Wimsey is quite fond of it as well... perhaps we will have to sway Mom and Dad to get some for us although Benson is on a very strict diet with his illnesses.

Mom loved all the pictures of you devouring your tasty treats, she says you are too cute for words!

Wags and woofs,
Benson and Gibson

Deefor said...

This is so UNFAIR! I want to start an ice cream union for doggies and protest!

I am drooling on my computer! You get all that ice cream stuff all over the world. And you eat it with such style. All I get is licks after the humans eat most all of it.

The Furry Kids said...

I was not aware of this ice cream day thing. You sure are lucky, Asta!

Woodrow, Luna, MJ Campanella said...

The Cat Realm said...

The maid screamed: "I knew it!" - Of course she didn't. But fact is she ate about 2 gallons of ice cream the last two days. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
And now she has the perfect excuse for it. After the fact!
We were allowed to lick the (many) bowls....

Tee said...

Wow Asta!

You're real lucky to have all that gelato to savour!

Licks and wags,

YUMMY IN YOUR TUMMY!!! What cute pictures!

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

We didn't get any ice cream that day...I had the dead bird instead....miam miam...Lacie went over and sniffed it, but she turned her lippie up and walked away...dunno why...maybe if I had put it in a cone???

I seem to have a lot of excess Scruffy flatus this morning...perhaps I may need a few charcoal biscuits...the black and tan club won't play with me....

sniff...

Love you sweet Sissy,

Your Brother Scruffy

Toffee said...

We scream for ICE CREAM!!!

I think that I need to trick mom into buying us some ice cream buy telling her that it is ice cream WEEK!...or maybe month...

LuLu and LoLLy! said...

Dear Asta, thank you for your truly grashus understanding of our stoopidty on the breeds mix up with Stan and stuff! And also, we have publisht a correcshons story on the front page to set the record strate and about how it is mainly LuLu's fault due to the meds and stuff but anyway probably now the main thing we are upset about is missing National Ice Cream Day! Love, your PaLs, LuLu and LoLLy!

Yummy, yummy, yummy. We love the picture of Jake and Just Harry.

Hi Asta,

I was robbed. No ice for me...boohoo!!

What a wonderful tribute to your ice cream tasting days. I hope you have many more in the future.

Life With Dogs said...

Our humans did not observe this day, and we are not happy about it! :(
Glad you enjoyed it enough for both of us!

Unknown said...

Oh c'mon Asta, don't go getting your fur all roughed up and blaming this one on me! I certainly don't remember Lacie shrieking in the cathedral in Salzburg to "see if it echoed," much less insisting on plugging in a blender during the ceremony and then purposely trying to trip the bride with the cord as she came down the aisle??? Then coming up with some cockamamie story that she was raising money for charity? Then there's the whole using her antlers to lift up the fellows' kilts as they past by.

Put yourself in my collar — how would you and Myrna have felt if she'd behaved like that at your wedding?

She's over two years old now, Asta, and she's still acting like a pup who was kicked out of obedience school. So I'm not talking to her for awhile, until I cool down.

Thank dog I don't have to constantly defend the actions of my Bestest Friend Eric Square Dog!

Your pal,

Petey

Princess Patches said...

We just loooove all your ice cream and gelato pictures, Asta. We like your new header too...no man panties THERE! Hahahahaha!

Hi Asta
