That's a lot of celebrating and we need that around here. Go girl, go! Your pwesent is magnifique. Love the tennis ball field with the specially engraved flowers. What a thoughtful pwesent.
As for the pawty, I think you're going to knock them off their paws. You look stunning, so Ollie will probably miss the car like I did. BOL Seriously Asta, I read this carefully, but I only had eyes for you and I missed the present.
Have a "ball" BOL

Hi Asta,

Whats the name of the nursery where you get your shrubs? Do they sell foot ball trees?

Have a grrrreat weekend!

Luv ya,
Star and Riley.

Unknown said...

OH BOY!!! That's gotta be the bestest present EVER! I just hope I get home before all the tennis balls have been harvested. Hope they don't spoil in the snow - you know how the peach crop always has a devastating freeze each year? Can't wait to see you! Maybe Monday at the dog run if it's not too snowy!

You're a sweetheart!

Your pal,

Petey

ScrapsofMe said...

Asta! What a lovely surprise for Petey! Are they blooming yellow because of the special dog watering?

Do they squeak too!
How delightful!

We just dropped by on our way over to Olive's place. It is really rockin' and rollin' over there. Her momma sure knows how to make the place swing!

Koobuss said...

Oh kousin Asta,

You did such a wonderful job inventing and growing that new Petey Tennis Ball Bush. Maybe you have a future career in bush invention!

You have been very busy lately inventing bushes and running off to birthday parties. And here I thought nothing happened in February after we were finished with the Presidents.

Sheesh...

Love and Koobuss Kisses,
Kousin Koobie

Asta green paws. Wickedly wonderful perfect present for Petey! You are a squillion star gift giver. Can you get hold of cuz tree seeds? The orange strain of course that blooms all year?

I'm trying to grow kibble bushes under the sofa. Spread the kibble seeds direct from my wobbler. They grow well in all the dust balls.Give it a try.

Wiry loves and billions of kisses Asta.xxxx

Hey Miss Asta...

I've got a message for your mama from my mama - she says that the hat she's wearing isn't made anymore, but she tracked down the company that bought out that original company and they do make a similar one... http://www.zephron.ca/garments.html#hats

And we both send our love!

Love,
