No fun on the Wiviewa fow Judges

When Mango dwopped me off in the souf of Fwance for Sea Quest Heawding, I had dweams of lounging on sunny beaches and meeting new fwiends , eating pate and fwites , and oozy cheeses






I did meet a new fwiend wight away..a lovely Gweat Gweat Dane , she said hew name was Jacie
and she wanted to be my BFF

I stawted to get suspicious, when the day aftew I met hew and spent some time wif hew, she sent me this message

 "Don't you just ADORE my Michael Kors purse??  I loved the way it expanded after I won all that money at the casino!!!  Those dogs we picked up...er who escorted us were totally hot...I couldn't believe that little Welshie was afraid of my size...I'm just a tiny thing....OR NOT....sheesch. Do you have some heels I could borrow...these are so tight I can hardly walk....
Toodles, Girlie...
So glad I've met ya!!
Kisses,
Your new friend,
Jacie
Pee ess...sorry about all the shrieking when you were driving...those cliffs are steep!"

I got an uwgent phone call fwom Mango telling me I was NOT supposed to FWATEWNISE

Sheesh.this is going to be lonely





not only that,  but despite the lovely sunshine, it wasn't any wawmew than in NewYawk
I was fweezing my bumbum off



I had to go buy mowe wintew clotheses
Just look at what the Sea looks like..sheeeeesh!!!




I put on my hoodie and stayed in my woom..I can tell you I was getting a little boowed despite the gowgeous Owange woom Mango had wesewved fow me (he is vewy genewous)


Then I wemembewed that the Casino in Monte Cawlo was just down the woad, so I put on my evening dwess and got weady fow a faboolous night



When I got to the casino I was told that they had gotten a wawning of a possible gas attack by a welentlessly hooge individooal and it had emptied the place fow the season




I guess when the Mango says No Fwatewnising, he means it..I'm playing solitaiw fow the doowation of my sea Quest Heawding.

I just hope it doesn't put me to sneep and I miss the night of the final judging

smoochie kisses and good luck to all the Con Test Ants

(make shoowe you go check out the voting on the Mango Minstew Site)

    Je suis desole pour tu, ma pauvre petite!! Tu parle en francais tres bien, Asta - je souhaite que j'ecriverais si bien, mais, je n'ai pas des mots pour les choses que je veut ecrire! So... Jacie seems to move around in the fast lane so I hope you've gotten over hanging with her. But absolutely NO fraternizing at all??? That's tough, but I think you are doing a furry pawsome job - hang in there - you do have a ton of friends!

    Knock knock knock...

    A knock sounds on the door of Asta's sweet er suite...

    She answers to to find a ginormous Greatest Dane in a small apron with a purple feather duster arriving to clean the room.

    For some reason, she seems to have a blender...


    Odd, huh...

    Asta,
    Mommy has some friends in France. If you want some company over there, I can ask Mommy if they can visit you. You really should go to Grasse. If you want to "lose" your great dane friend, take her to Grasse and leave her at a perfume factory. She be occpied for at least a day or two.

    Hi Asta,
    Great blog! And what neat parents you have-artists and teachers and living in "The Village" and all. Lucky you!
    My Parental Unit teaches at an art and design school, and her big sister is an artist... so that's why we're all friends!

    Oh, Asta. The South of France is a much too romantic and beautiful place for you to be alone and lonely. We hope that your new friend Jacie knows the hotel staff, or can at least arrange for some comforts that make help make you feel pampered and special.

    We wish we could be there with you. But we understand that that's not possible. We miss you terribly. Stay warm. And remember, it's just as well that you are staying protected from the sun.

    Hoping that one day we will travel there together.

    Wilf n Digby live in the south of France and they aren't entered into any of the MM contests. I bet they would make wonderful escorts for you and Jacie/Lacie/whateverhernameREALLYis. They are very dignified and well traveled. Perfect gentlemen. Well, maybe Jacie wouldn't care for dignified?

    Have fun, stay warm, hope to see you soon!

    I know you will be an excellent judge, Asta. All this sea quest herding will be worth it!

    Oh Asta, you do look rather sad and lonely there in paradise!
    Do you think we judges should all have a wee night out after MM is finished?
    Since we have now finished our judging perhaps we could meet up - what do you say to flying across to Scotland - after all France is not so very far away.
    We could meet up with Hamish and all the Scottish doggies for a wee dram.....or two!
    Sometimes at this time of year you have to do something to keep your spirits up.
    You do, of course, look wonderful in your pictures but we would urge caution with your alleged new BGF

    Oh, poor kousin Asta,

    Sea quest hering just isn't the fun thing that you thought it would be, even in a beautiful place.

    Was that snow that I saw? Yikes!

    Alas, sometimes solitaire is the best game in town.

    Try to keep a positive attitude, little kousin. It'll all be worthwhile.

    Dear Asta
    Verdi's blog we do not write it anymore because Gaucho has his own blog. Neither we erase it, it will stay in honor to him. We miss Verdi too, very much, and want that it is like that.
    The blog of the small one will be now the one that we write. Do not feel sad, Verdi this one well where he is.
    The life continues. If at some time we want to write something on Verdi we will do it in the Gaucho's blog.
    With love!!!
