VISITOWS! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Aftew all the sadness and losses of fwiends wecently, something happy happened.
We all get ouw heawts bwoken and wowwy about ouw sick fwiends, but this time we had an example of the wondewfulness that  ouw doggie blogs give us, .meeting DWB fwiends.


We'd been waiting wif baited bweaf(what does that mean anyway??) fow ouw visitows this weekend
Mumsie was fiwst to awwive

She settled into hew spacious wailway cawwiage woom(honest it's the smallest woom in histowy..she'll pwobably tell you about it when she gets awound to posting)




and then she came ovew to my house and thewe was all sowts of joy


She also twanspawted my two new wheelie siblings(it's a long stowy..Mywna now has fouw childwen)




Mommi intwodooced me to them




We had a wiggly kissie session


by then my bwuvvew Duffy awwived wif auntie Kawen, and Mumsie got to moosh bof of us 




the second day that  Mumsie was hewe, Noah, Willow, Tess and Lucy's pawents came all the way fwom Leuwa  Ostwalia!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We walked ovew to the hotel whewe they wewe staying and then all walked home to ouw house fow dinnew.  We got to show them a little bit of the Village on the way.

Mommi was so excited, she fowgot to take pictoowes along the way.
We couldn't believe ouw luck that we get so many fwiends visiting


flat Noah, Willow, Tess and Lucy made themselves comfowtable on the piano as soon as they awwived

They wew awfully chippew and not at all jet lagged..amazing considewing they had been on the woad fow about thwee hundwed houws  Ostwalia is on the othew side of the oonivewse fwom hewe



I made a smile box of pawt of the visit

Mommi and Daddi made dinnew and Auntie Denise and unkel Bwian bwought us soopew wine fwom Ostwalia to dwink  (we only wemembewed to take a pictoowe  at dessewt time, hehehe)



the next day was all bootiful and we all met fow lunch at ouw local  outdoow place


it's a little cwazy , busy thewe especially on the weekends, but  we managed to get a good table outside




isn't Mumsie Bootiful????
(she stole that puwple blouse fwom Lacie who didn't mind cause she wanted to be naked anyway)




unfowtoonately we made a sad discovewy..Mumsie seems to have a "sweet aboose pwoblem" along wif hew coke zewo obsession.
Lacie and i awe planning to enwoll hew in a twelve step pwogwam fow "oef a la Neige" addicts, hehehehehe




it was a glowious day, and aftew sitting awound and eating and dwinking fow houws, it seemed like a good idea to go fow a walk


luckily, the High Line was just a few steps away, so that's whewe we went




Can you believe that this young giwl has fouw Aiwechildwen???
amazing ..Mommi says appeawantly they stawted theiw family at a tendew age, hehehehehe


sadly it was time to come back to ouw apawtment and say bye bye to Mumsie (this is the pawt we hate) 




she had to fly back to the Buwgh and wowk today  (flat Lacie stayed of couwse)




all the flat kids stayed at ouw house until it's time fow theiw pawents to continoo theiw  gwand toow of a Mewwy Caw...




PAWWWWWTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!


Thewe will be faw bettew pictoowes and descwiptions of this twip on the Leuwodale's site..but pwobably not until they get home


Thank you soo much to ouw DWB fwiends fow this amazing visit..We toasted Bwooke and Gweg  and Chawlie and Opy and Benson, without whom we would nevew had the chance to make so many wondewful fwiends.
this was  the beginning of a summew of DWB visits..We awe beyond happy to be pawt of it!!!


Pleez be patient wif us.  We will twy to come awound and visit all of you just as soon as we can.

smoochie kisses

I heard Mom and Mumsie giggling over our english Cornish Pasties and the Bangers for Toad in the Hole..heard the never ending whirl of Lacie's blender for the flat visitors (note to self must ask Lacie if she got the recipe from Noah for Hoki Fishcakes) heard the happiness and laughter from your lovely down under vistors.

Hi Asta
Well it comes as no surprise that you have so many adoring visitors. Not only are you such a loving and beautiful doggie, but you live with a wonderful, generous Mommi and Daddi, in a beautiful, exciting city. And not only that, I can't help but notice how often you show totally delicious foodables in your blog.
Does heaven get any better?

My Jeannie met Rounded Noah,Tess, Willow and Lucy tooooo. When she visted the Leuras. (she calls them "rounded" cos she actually met the real ones, not the flat ones!!)

Asta. You and Mommi and Daddi know how to make people happy. Which must make you happy right back. Isn't it nice how that works? And the happiness just keeps on rolling. Here we are all the way in Colorado, catching the contagious smiles and sharing the fun right along with you. No wonder so many people and their four-leggeds enjoyed themselves the way all of you did!

Love you so much

William Tell said...

We're so glad you got to meet your Aussie friends and were able to be hostess to your flat friends while they are visiting in America. I plan to visit Australia one of these days. I got a nice hole started that direction in the corner of the yard. Might be able to pull that trip off in a year or two, unless someone rocks my hole up again.

Happy Tails,
William Tell
