A NEW PLACE ACWOSS THE STWEET CALLED KAVA and Help needed

Yestewday , the sun came out, and Daddi took me to the wun, then he had to go teach and Mommi and I wewe alone

to cheew hew up(she hates being wifout Daddi awound), I suggested we go fow a walk



on the way home, we passed this new Espwesso place acwoss the stweet fwom us, that looks like it could be in Milan ow something, it's called KAVA


I saw the magical wowds "GELATO" and said
"Mommi , why don't we have a tweat?  look hewe's a nice bench that's pawfect fow us to sit and watch the wowld go by"

Mommi nevew gets espwesso ow any coffee outside of home, cause it's too expensive, but
I finally convinced hew that once in a bloo moon it was allowed..thewe is a vewy nice bench wight outside the doow, and it's wifin two steps fwom whewe she got the Gelato and Espwesso Macchiato, so It was OK to tie me thewe, cause I was nevew out of hew weach and sight



Well?  Did you get anything yummie Mommi?

I pawed hew, just to make suwe she didn't fowget that she was supposed to shawe

sluwp(scoose me), that pista-she-oh Gelato is scwumptious


Sowwy fow the bluwwiness, but It's impawsibull to stand still while you'we wiggling wif delight


I stawted off wif delicate licks off the spoon, but then mommi decided I might like it stwaight out of the cup(she wass wight..you can get lots biggew licks in that way)



befowe I knew it, it was all gone..I guess evewything comes to an end eventooally, even gelato, but we had a gweat time and saw lots of fwiends pass by, bot two and fouw legged
( I even gave some of my gelato to a little cutie woofie who stopped to say hello to me)


"We'll come back again Wight mommi?" I asked...yes little Asta..as soon as we fill ouw gelato piggy bank , heehehehe, and the sun comes out again

Today of couwse it's back to wain all day,
that's Spwing


My good fwiend Pandafuw has posted about a tewwibull injustice and asks that we sign a petition..can you please go to hew bloggie and do it?
It's fow a doggie who has nevew done anything wong, just happens to be the wong bweed accowding to the authowities..PLEEZ HELP

smoochie kisses

Sounds like a great sunny day activity! I hope the rain stops and the sun comes out and you will get to go again very soon!

mayziegal said...

Oh, Asta! That looks like it was SUCH a fun outing! And tasty, too. I kinda got drooly looking at all your blurry, wiggly pictures of you eating that gelato stuff cuz I could tell how DEE-licious it was!

I think you did a very good thing by talking your mommi into doing that. I bet it was real happy-making for HER, too!

Wiggles & Wags,

Isn't gelato the BEST. My Dad worked in Italy for a company that makes Gelato freezer and they had a university of gelato to teach people how to make it properly. Mom and dad got free serves EVERYDAY !!! Mom fell in love with real Italian gelato and is always for looking places here in the States that make it

Gus said...

Yummmy...I think I have never had pistachio gelato..I usually get some fruity stuff to share with Dad while the Muzzer hogs the chocolate! I do like those cone things, the sweet and crispy ones that have lacey edges, ya know?

Maybe next time I come to visit we can go over to that Gelato place. Skip the coffee stuff, muzzer says no caffeenie for gussies

xx...ooooooxxx

MMM that looks delicious & refreshing!

Bocci said...

Asta, I'm so glad you and your Mom got to enjoy a sunny afternoon and have a treat! (you get cuter with every picture, Asta!) We'll go to your friend's blog right away.

P.S. ( PU has the nerve to regularly walk into Starbucks or another coffee shop and ask for a cup with hot water for the tea bags hat she carries with her...how can people afford $3-$5 a drink?)

Frankie Furter and Ernie said...

Asta it is so very much nice of you to take your mom out fur a treat... to get her mind off of daddy being gone. That was a very selfless thingy... Pretending that YOU wanted and LIKED the gelato ... just so your mom would allow herself a much deserved treat. YOU are soooooo good to your mom.

♥♥ The OP Pack ♥♥ said...

You are one furry smart pup, Asta. Great idea to get Mom to treat herself AND you. We wish we had been walking by, we would have stopped and ordered some gelato too.

We will go to visit your friend and sign the petition.

Diana Chiew said...

Yes, Asta, we agree with you that it's ok for a treat like that once in a blue moon.

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

Honestly Asta...I think we've done enuff nursing tonight...why don't we trot over to the gelatto place and order us a double scoop with frosting and Schlag? Over a hooooooge chunk of cake? (Lacie starts to drool...not an attracive sight...) Oh my, why is my beard so wet?

We can leave the boyz here to check on things. Oh...about that Spinny Door in the lobby? We had a few issues with that and the Snow Cone truck.

Kisses,

Miss L.

The Daily Pip said...

Your mommy is much disciplined than my mommy - she has an expresso addiction. It's so bad that papa has put her on a fancy coffee weekly budget. She can't function without it!

Your pal, Pip

The Daily Pip said...

Hi again - my mom has tried to make it at home, but it never comes out right! BOL - she has issues with new appliances! Papa has really put her on a fancy coffee budget, but sometimes she sneaks a little extra on the side!

If we manage to sell our building and move outside the city, I think she may need some kind of intervention ...she may go into shock when she can't walk across the street for her fix!

Your pal, Pip

White Dog Blog said...

Pistachio is MY favorite gelato, also, Asta! And our neighborhood place is called Ecco Gelato. Even the little multicolored cups are the same as yours! Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could get together and compare our treat shoppes? First, by your house and then by mine? What a wonderful treat THAT would be.

Off to sign the petition.

Stella said...

How very nice for you and your Mom to have this special outing together and Pistachio Gelato. Whooo!

Kisses,
Stella

Neeko said...

Hello Beautiful Asta :o)

What a fun outing you had with your Mommy. Yummy treat too :o)

We went and signed the petition for sweet innocent Lennox. That is just terrible…
Paws together and heads bowed in prayer for him to go home soon to his family.

Smooches,
Neeko ♥
P.S. Pawsome Thanks for the very kind words about my Sis’ passing.

Asta, a gelato piggy bank, what a great idea. I am going to get Gail to start one here too! (So much better than the type of banks that steal all our money....)

Amy & the house of cats said...

Hi Asta! We have missed you while we were away from visiting! We are totally envious of your gelatto - our mom never lets us have anything like that (ok, Kirzon gets a bit of vanilla ice cream sometimes but that is about it). We have heard gelatto is TASTY - even better than ice cream. It is nice that you and your mom got a treat!

And thanks for telling us about going over to Pandafur's blog - mom is going through our list and we haven't made it to her place yet so we will head over now!

Juno said...

Oh Asta, it's so sweet to hear that your mommi always wants your daddi around. Gelato!!! You gave her a very good suggestion!! Glad to see you enjoyed it so much.

Hugs

TwoSpecialWires said...

Asta. There is nothing we like better than imagining you and your mommi (and daddi) enjoying some gelato and espresso in your wonderful neighborhood. Just this morning Moma was remembering and reminding us of the time we were there with you ... now we can think of you sometimes across the street ... making smiles all around. You've made smiles even here ... a couple thousand miles away.

(We miss you)
(And we love you)

Hi, Asta -

Mama laughed when she was reading to us about the pistaschio gelato. You are so funny.

Thank you for spreading the word about Lennox. Mama and Angel Bosco help spread the word about Lennox on Dogster. We light candles for him constantly.

Congratulations on your 1,000th post!

Love -
