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)

Bobby said...

It sounds like you are not having a good time at all, poor Asta could you not met a nice French Poodle who has not entered the contest.

Dexter said...

I'm with Khyra, check out the size of the butt on that gal. Remember no Frat Er Nizing.

Slobbers,
Mango

Gus said...

We are not entered in any Mango Minster events. Can I come keep you company. We wont Frat er Nize, whatever that is, because I don't belong to any Frat Eternity.

Golden Samantha said...

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!

That Jacie sounds a little scawy and kinda suscpicious!

Hollie and Janie said...

I am sorry you don't get to have any friends with you! At least you are in a gorgeous city! I think some retail therapy is in order!
Love,
Janie

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

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...

♥♥ The OP Pack ♥♥ said...

Sammie parle bien le francais. Nous esperons que tu trouves quelque chose plus interessante and heureuse tres vite.

And we are not entered in any of MM categories or contests so we would be happy to come keep you company.

Unknown said...

I think you belong in Monte Carlo, Asta. And that dress! OMD. Even I would wear something like that. Just make sure you remember to set an alarm clock, just in case.
Twink!

Eric said...

That Jacie ...er did she have like a big derriere Asta? You know I could always come under the little pee in a submarine Asta. mango would never see that. Would he? Wiry love Eric xxx

Clive said...

A bit of retail therapy Asta - that's what you need!

take care
Clive

Sally Ann and Andy said...

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.
Sally Ann

Bocci said...

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!

Misadventures of Widowhood said...

Don't you ever stay home? Your pawrents much be pretty special to drop you down in such great places.

Levi

TwoSpecialWires said...

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.
Love and admiringly,
BruvverJake and SissieFergi

Sally said...

You poor thing - no fraternising of any sort? That seems very wrong. But as usual - you keep your cool and your wardrobe never suffers! A class act!

Lots of licks
Sally and Paddy

Cheyenne -Millie said...

You look so lovely in France and Monte Carlo! Cool! I would be jealous.. only I am scared of strange places!

Huskee and Hershey said...

Our mom was busy admiring all those lovely outfits you were wearing.. you certainly live up to your fasionista name!!

Cheryl, Indiana, Shingo and Molly said...

You are right to be suspicious!! Good luck judging!

Woofs and Kisses!

Baby Rocket Dog and Hootie said...

Hmmmm who was this Jacie? The name sounds similar to...no.Can't be.

Hope you aren't too lonely by yourself sweetie. Hang in there. Only a few more days to go.
Smooches,
BabyRD & Hootie

Unknown said...

Mica has a solution! Just make sure that Mica answers the door, not "Macie."

Maybe you can't fraternize, but there's nothing in the rules about caternizing!

Your pal,
Petey

Gus, Louie and Callie said...

You look pretty bored playing all alone. We won't tell Mango if you go out and do that fwatewnising stuff..

Big Sloppy Kisses

ScrapsofMe said...

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!

Bonnie

Cocorue said...

awww Asta, you are one cool dawg

Toffee said...

Oh poor you!
No fraternizing...sigh.
There is only so much solitaire that one can play, eh?
Well at least you are following the wooles...I think a certain "Lacie" would last a millisecond with those rules! tee hee!

Persephone and Buster said...

welllll so that's where you are.. on the riviera.... sounds like it's a little scary out there though.. stay safe and listen to the big guy about not fra ter nizing.. what exactly is a nizing?
hmmmmm

Kelly said...

Asta, I am suspicious about this 'Jacie'. You be careful, ok? Don't drink any smoothies that you haven't seen her make yourself!!!

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

Martha said...

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
love

Joe Stains said...

sheesh, talk about a bummer vacation. I wish I could come hang out and play cards with you.

Koobuss said...

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.

Love and Koobuss Kisses,
Kousin Koobie

Oh... I hope your vacation is not ruin...

Jans Funny Farm said...

What is going on? Why are you there by yourself? Shouldn't there be other contestants?

Inquiring minds would like to know what Mango has up his huge sleeve.

Jans Funny Farm said...

Oh, sorry, we didn't realize you're a judge. Now we understand.

Thanks for thinking of us. Jan has warm places to sleep for all of us kitties & doggies but Rusty needs such a big bed it has to sit on the floor, which is why the new blanket is just perfect for it.

Lucre said...

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!!!
La Jefa to Gaucho

Hello sissy Asta!! You look stunning in your orange outfits. No matter what we always think of your happiness.. we have to see your big smile.

Angel Gracie=^o.o^= said...

You sure do get around with the adventures. There are many responsibilities with being the judge but I know you are on top of this and will do a top knotch job.
If you need to get away for awhile head over to my place for some fun at the Super Bowl party! All fans of any teams are welcome!!
