Stay safe! We're listening to the wind from Irene right now and the surf is really high. We're hoping that all our pals are safe from this storm.

Asta! We have to assume you are safely down from that ladder now ... your mommi must've had a heart attack seeing you up there so high.

Be safe, sweet sissie. We'll be thinking of you and all our other furfriends along the path of Irene. Hopefully she'll sputter out and pull east and miss you all together.

Much love,
Your very dusty, stinky but happy bruvver and sissie,

We are not hearing anything good about Irene, Asta. We hope all the weather gurus are wrong and she just moves out to sea. Best to be prepared though. We have all our paws crossed for the safety of all in her path.

Stay safe from Irene this weekend. You all need to get your outside walkies done as you won't want to go outside while Irene is visiting the Big Apple.
Keep each other safe!!!!

We are praying for you! I hope you have battened down all of your hatches & stocked up on essentials!

OscarBlogger said...

We were just in NYC but left a day ahead of schedule because of mean Irene. We arrived the day the earthquake happened, but we didn't feel a thing. I can't remember where we were at the time that we didn't even feel it! I hope you and your family (and the rest of the East Coast) stay safe this weekend!

Sweet William The Scot said...

Miss Asta ~ We heard your Mayor shut down your transit systems. How you going to get out of town if you need to??? I pray you stay safe. Sweet William The Scot

Road Dog Tales said...

Asta - Paws crossed that you are all safe and sound and Irene leaves you alone! Our Dad is in NY right now, too! We're kinda worried. Irene only gave us a little wind and rain here in SC. Hoping she gets bored and goes away!

Take care!

Daisy said...

Asta, be careful on that tall ladder! We all want you to stay safe, sweet girl.

Persephone and Buster said...

Hi Asta..we're back from the lake..just in time to see you on a ladder! ooooooooopsy...be careful! we were all battened down and waiting for "Irene" to appear and all we got was terrible winds and rain and winds and more rain and stuff littering the yard and more wind....but the humans are here and don't appear to be going anywhere soon.they said all this activity was a present from Irene...a tropical storm with 65mph winds and lots of water. so we have to wait and see if the rivers that are very near will stay in their own spot in the world and not visit us. I'm not real sure i want Irene here...glad to see her go.
we still have power and a warm place to sleep so we're happy.

I think you should be a newswoman! You are awesome!

Our town is still without power. Hopefully it will be back soon!

Hugs,

Bocci said...

We can't help but laugh at that picture, Asta-although a very serious topic. We're glad NY was spared a really heavy hit and you're all snug and dry and safe.

Also can't help laughing at the list of treats you stocked up on...Prosecco and Gelato can't be beat!
