Mowe memowies of NYC adventoowes wif Staney my love

Ok, so Mommi ,Daddi and auntie Lisa(Stanley's Giwl) met up wif Auntie Kawen and Sloan (of the Taylow Catsssss) to go on a Tap Jam cwuise owganized by unkel Tony and the Amewican Tap Dance Foundation (ATDF).
A tap jam means anyone can bwing theiw tap shoes and pawticipate ..
thewe is a gweat band and a lot of Tap fweeks, hehehehe


Daddi and Sloan on boawd

Stanley and I wewe supposed to stay home, hahahahahah, fat chance.

We stowed away on the boat.
I mean how can you miss a cwuise seeing Manhattan at sunset in pawfect weathew. No way I say! (Vewy few things awe mowe Womantick)

Mommi and auntie Kawen didn't have a cloo that we wewe thewe too, hehehehehe
the boat took off at 7:00 PM on a pawfect evening( we bwought a bunch of yummies to eat and dwink).

auntie Lisa had no idea whewe we wewe going
Mommi and Daddi wefoosed to tell hew.
She got suspicious when the cab dwopped us off at a piew, but I think she must have thought we wewe going to visit the sailows fow Fleet Week, hehehehe ( the dock is wight next to The Intwepid)

Stanley and I sat on deck and ouw fuw was blowing all ovew

the city suwe looked bootiful


we passed the building whewe I live..pwetty cool



unkel Tony had a laugh wif Jason Samuel Smith , who is a fantastic dancew (he was in Bwing in the noise, Bwing in the Funk..and othew gweat stuff) I've seen him dance...WOW!!!!!!

Unkel Tony welcomed all of us on boawd. By then we wewen't hiding.

auntie Lisa was pwetty stunned , but happy


we continooed down the Hudson wivew towawds the tip of the Island

if you wemembew my post about the concewt that Mommi went to stawwing Dianna Kwall,this is a view of the Wintew Gawden whewe it took place

we headed out towawd the sea
 ( Did you know I live on an Island???)
gwanted it's not a twopical one, but still , not bad

this is the way Mommi fiwst saw Amewica (except wif fog cause it was Novembew) when she sailed into NY hawbow fow the Fiwst Time as a little giwl about 2041 yeaws ago. 
 I't s pwetty magical

meanwhile, on boawd ship, the dancing was in full swing..I took my tuwn  
 (I had bwought my tap shoes just in case), and appawently evewyone was suwpwised and delighted.
I hope Stanley was pwoud of me.

all of a sudden the gweat lady appeawed, but I guess, Stanley and I wewe mowe intewesting

we all got a little teawy thinking of what she stands fow


aftew that we passed undew all the cool bwidges ( Bwooklyn,Manhattan, and Queensbowo )
at night, they look like diamond necklaces stwung acwoss the watew

sowwy about the bluw, but we wewe moving, and flash is useless
(this is the Bwooklyn Bwidge)




Mommi was sowt of happy
She's almost as big a ham as unkel Tony

by the time we got back, it was late and dawk , and we wewe vewy tiwed.
(by the way, that's the Staten Island faiwy  the middle left of the pictoowe)

Doo to my suwpwising success at dancing , I was given a contwact which I towe up...(I have too many things to do to westwict myself to tap dancing).
Stanley and I didn't get into twouble fow stowing awawy, hehehe..what a gweat night!


pee ess

 Pleez go to visit Clive and his little man and vote fow him in

I know it would make them vewy happy

love and
smoochie kisses

Winter Days Inside

The light in ouw apawtment in the late aftewnoon is vewy bootiful..even though it's cold outside, we get weflected sunlight on the walls and on evewything

Pawt of the weason is this new hotel that is wight above whewe my wun is..it stwaddles the High Line..and old disoosed wail line that they'we tuwning into a pawk

the sunsets fwom acwoss the Hudson Wivew bounce off the glass and come into ouw living woom..we've had some pwetty cool skyes too

Mommi is hoping that the building enthoosiasts wun out of money fow a while and stop all this development..the Hotel is OK, but we don't want to lose ouw sky and ouw wivew view..even the highway wif all the lights is bettew than a building wight oppisite us would be


that pwetty sunset time weminds me it's cocktail time, hehehehe...............................................this is the top of Mommi's desd wif a pictoowe of Daddi when he was youngewew(I think he lookds dashing like my Stanley),then a pictoowe of Mommi and Daddi in theiw yoot, and Mommi's old caw wif theiw fiwst wiwe (my angel bwuvvew Nikki) in it
if you biggify the pictoowe you can wead the cawd..it's one of a billion Daddi made up to give to hoomans at Mommi's Birfday pawty..they all had diffewnt quotes fwom the Thin Man Movies

So in the gwand twadition of Nick and Nowa Charles..I'm going to have a mawtini



my BFF Lacie, and hew bwuvvews Scruffy and babyStan sent it to me

I finished all of it..miwacoolously the olive is still intact

Adventoowes in babysitting on Daddi's Birfday

Pleez excoose me my sweet fwiends fow once again being supew behind in visiting all of you
I have a pwetty good excoose!!!


DUFFY..he sowt of takes up a lot of time, hehehehe..

as you know..Fwiday was Daddi's Birfday..and he was home all day!!!!! HUWWWAHHHHH!
so since it was such a bootiful day, we all went fow a walk by the Hudson Wivew..
he's a funny kid..follows me and walks weally well if I'm awound..but sometimes he comes to a scweeching halt, and then you just have to wait..he looks awound, and then gets going again




well, awe you coming ow what???



see what I mean?..he's stubbown



I had to wudely cut acwoss to go say hi to anothew doggie fwiend, but this walk is about me too

hewe I am showing him how you'we supposed to stand




all of a sudden he decides he wants to be pack leadew, heheheheheheh as if!!!!!


No that's NOT what you'we supposed to do..sheeesh

when he wants to west, he sits on Mommi's cwocks..I guess he pwefews the softness to the cement
of couwse he had to stick his nose into evewything

and then got a tweat even though he didn't go peepee in an houw and a half walk

Hoomans awe suckews fow a baby



OK, time to go home


and when we got home he collapsed on MY pillow with MY kangawoo..but you know what? I didn't mind..he's just so cute..(notice , he aweady has a polka dotted tummy)..my 1/2 Bwuddew

Soon aftew that, auntie Kawen picked him up and he went home...and I went to a paintball pawty wif my Cat fwiends and sissies..I'll tell you about that tomowwow maybe, if I can get Mommi to help me

as fow my pawents..they walked ovew to one of theiw favowite little westauwnts on one of theiw favowite little stweets in the West Village fow  a womantic dinnew......you have to stand in line, and bwing youw own wine, and it's faiwly inexpensive, but the food is delicious!!! They ate outside and watched the wowld go by, and smiled a lot. I snept........  Good Night.
