The winnew is! and Palm Sunday at auntie Kawen's

Thank you evewyfuwwfwiend fow all the nice things you said about Mommi and Daddi's Amniwewsawawy, and fow so many of you playing along wif my silly quiz.
Thewe wewe some vewy cweative and funny answews, but the winnew( the fiwst doggie to get the most wight) dwumwoll pleez!!!!!!!!! is:

Joey!!!!!
He hasn't even known me fow a long time, but obviously is a vewy obsewvant fuwwkid!

The answews awe:
They got mawwied in 1975 , in Los Angeles. My Mommi's fiwst awt show was in Vienna,
the usually dwink Mawtini's , so this was hawd, but the westauwant was sowt of a Manhattan kind of place.
Daddi dwessed up like an ice cweam salesman cause he wanted to pleez mommi and it was the 70s(bad taste was wampant)
They went skiing togethew( the only pictoowe in the post of them not in city clothes is in the Tywol.(golf???I don't think so, hehehehe)
I thought dancing was a good answew though..they do that a lot.
and I have been wif them since I was eight weeks old, and am now two and a half, so thwee yeaws is the answew!


Fooey, I wish I could send evewyone a pwize, but Mommi says that's not how it wowks.

About two hundwed and thiwty eight yeaws ago my Mommi and Daddi said I do and giggled thwough theiw whole wedding ( I think it set the tone fow theiw life togethew)


they walked out awm in awm (smoochies awe a big twadition in ouw family, hehehe)

and had a big pawty fow all theiw fwiends..ate lots of cake and danced till the mowning to some Bwazilian wecowds

(that's my hooman sissie Cawolina in the back of the cake)

They twaveled all ovew (this pictoowe was aftew Mommi's fiwst Awt exhibit)

Mommi's Daddi lived in OOwope , so they went often

stopped in Venice

on the Ligoowian coast

in the Tiwol and lots of othew places , I don't want to bowe you , so I won't dwag all those pictoowes out.

Eventooally, they moved to NYC and decided to stawt a family!




tah dah!!! theiw fiwst bown, hehehehehehe...This was Nikki, who is in heaven now but was the bestest boy evew

he helped Mommi paint, and wead and dweam and leawn to love doggies fowevew

theiw neighbow had a deck and it was a gweat place to hang out



Two mowe fuwwkids joined the family, Nora and Charly
bruvvew and sissie (seven mumfs apawt.).......life is good!!!!


the yeaws passed and Daddi got gwey, (Mommi hides it wif paint)..they still got to twavel, if not as often..hewe they awe in Vienna again

and in theiw favowite city PAWIS.

Nikki and Charly wewe gone, and then Daddi got sick, and Nowa also went to heaven..it was a sad time. They didn't think they could go thwough losing any mowe fuwwkids.


Daddi is well again!!!! and I came along! LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!!


I heawd that they stopped theiw caw on the way to theiw wedding pawty , when they saw lilacs at a stand on Santa Monica Blvd. ........they bought all the lilacs they had, and filled the whole caw..it's theiw favowite. so.....................

I wan and got some and took it to the westauwant whewe they went fow theiw amnevewsawawy dinnew the othew night. I wanted evewything to be just wight. They said it was supew womantic and delicious.
