Awwiving fow Mango Minstew and an Invitation

MANGO, the consumate host and owganisew of Mango Minstew sent his special plane to pick up all the esteemed judges and take them to his estate

He had to equip the plane wif special skiis, but managed to land safely

Khywa is the judge fow all the cat dog contestants, but we all noticed that she has not been hewself evew since she awwived at the estate..I hope she's not ill..hew face is a tad peachy colowed, and she has totally lost hew fashion sense

..of couwse the west of us all behaved like wondewful, undemanding guests, and I'm suwe the Mango will enjoy entewtaining us fow the time leading up to the show

I will be at the estate most of the time until it's time fow my Sea Quest Hewding, except fow impawtant nuwsing dooties at Inky and Molly's

( Inky has had a big suwgewy and needs lots of love and nuwsing)

Pleez go and give Inky and Molly youw love!!!!!

I will have to leave the estate to attend my almost-sissie Gwacie's fiwst Biwfday pawty latew this week, and I uwge all of you to come along and pawty wif us and wish hew the vewy best!!!

she is vewy thoughtful and sweet and has pwovided special tweats and foods and dwinkables fow doggie fwiends!

Hound Dogs - Do you bay at the moon? Become deaf when your snooter is engaged? Run fast on long legs? This is your category. (we would add even short legs!)

Hard Working Dogs - Have a job? This one is for you.

Pawsylvania,Pencil Vaynia

My Pawents and I wented a caw and dwove to Pencil Vaynia ow as Gussie told me it's sposed to be called mowe cowwectly, Pawsylvania
My unkel Pete lives thewe(Daddi's bwuvvew) and we wanted to visit him and aunt Mimi

I kept a keen eye on the woad to help Daddi dwive
also to give encouwaging kissies along the way

You know how my baby bwuvvew Duffy has gowgeous wed haiw?????

Well, I guess it wuns in the family cause I found an old pictoowe of my Daddi and his two bwuvvews and unkel Pete (the one we wewe going to visit had the same colow haiw exackly

of couwse bof he and Daddi have vewy diffewent haiw now cause it's been like a twillion yeaws since that pictoowe was taken

we awwived and I was awfully glad to be inside..it was fweezing in Pawsylvania, just like in NewYawk

They live out in the countwy and thewe is this cool old house acwoss the stweet fwom them

I went wif Mommi to check it out..but noone was thewe

that evening, I stayed inside the wawm house, while the hoomans went to see the lights at Longwood Gawdens
It's aways all lit up and decowated fow chwissmuss inside and out, and even though , it was fwigid, they went to see the displays

I made a smilebox to show you what they saw....it's hawd to get good pictoowes sometimes so pleez excoose the quality

Make a Smilebox slideshow

aftew thawing out, and a good dinnew ,we looked at family pictoowes and while I played soccew, The hoomans gabbed as oosual


the next day we took a walk in the woods befowe heading home..

I looooved the sniffing oppowtoonities

I wasn't allowed to wun off leash..thewe wewe too many little and big aminals awound

but even on leash I had a good time

at one point, Mommi stopped looking like she was in the awctic and took off hew silly hat,but soon discovewed that it hadn't wawmed up at all...we didn't stay out long..not a day to lingew

We dwove home last night and I'm still tiwed, but will twy to come awound and catch up wif all of you

I hope evewyone is well
smoochie kisses

FWEEZING!

Mommi and Daddi went to a NewYeaws Pawty and seeing silly Daddi having such fun,plus being able to talk to a bunch of DWB fwiends on the secwet NewYeawsChat, I figoowed this would be a pwetty good yeaw

but when I went out the next day fow a walk wif Mommi ,I wealized someone has weally messed wif ouw weathew....I pwetty much fwoze.
This is NOT a good stawt to the yeaw..fiwst a baf, now fweezing......




hewe's a closeup in case you don't believe me..sheeesh..I love snow, but not this stuff

wicked icy winds..this is not fun..maybe it won't be a fun yeaw aftew all


when we came in Mommi suggested I weaw hew hat fow my next walk..ummm, I can't seee



I opted fow my wawm leggings, and scawf that my Fwiend Ewic sent me last yeaw and my wawm Snitchybug owiginal coat..at least I can be stylish while I fweeze, hehehehe


honestly, wif this weathew,,I would wathew just stay in bed, but now I found out I have to go all the way to Pencil Vaynia fow two days to visit my Daddi's bwuvvew

so again I'm going to get way behind in visiting you

I want evewything to get back to nowmal and stop having all these events..I miss all of you and all these stoopid plans intewfewe wif my time wif my fwiends.

Stay wawm!
see you soon
smoochie kisses,

a Howwibull beginning to the yeaw, but then....hope

Aftew a delightful evening and night of Celebwating the NewYeaw, I was subjected to the most howwibull indignity

Quite a few of my wondewful fwiends showed up to help Lacie and me wing in the NewYeaw

and toast to absent fwiends...dance a bit, sing and celebwate . It was a faboolous night in the end...but,

well, it's not my fault that it was a wainy night and we got a bit dish eveled and diwty by the time I got home in the eawly houws of Janooawy fiwst

Hoomoms have an appeawant need to stawt the new yeaw all clean....... hwmpffffffffffff!

So I was tossed in the tub

Aftew my escape , I twied to wub myself on evewy suwface of ouw mini scoole bafwoom

but finally, I was captoowed and wapped in a towel......at least it was owange

I must say, I was quite depwessed to stawt the day this way, but my faith in Mommi was westowed..when she offewed me a lovely snack of Kielbasa and Cheesesticks sent by my dawling Kousin Koobie

Thank you wif all my heawt , Koobie and youw Mom and Gwammpa..now this is the way to stawt the yeaw!!!!

I hope it will be wondewful one fow all of us!!!

smoochie kisses

ASTA

Auld Lang Syne my Deews

No one is having a pawty, so Lacie and I decided to just go fow a quiet dwink to celebwate the NewYeaw..

(and hope that maybe some of ouw fwiends show up)

Thinking about ouw deew fwiends, those who awe wif us, and those who left us this yeaw but awe staying in ouw heawts fuwwevew made me a little sad, but also hopeful fow the coming yeaw.

This yeaw bwought new fwiends galowe..

Sweet biwfs, and wescoos and stowies of pwogwess fow many who had such howwibull beginnings.

We also had to say fawewell to some of ouw deewest fwiends, I will nevew fowget them and know in my heawt that we will all be togethew again someday, so I have hope..........

Hope fow a bwightew tomowwow fow fuwwkids and theiw pawents.

Lacie and I sang Auld Lang Syne and toasted all of you

the song is genewally intewpweted as a call to wemember long standing fwiendships

(auld lang syne literally means "old long since", but a more idiomatic English translation would be something like "long long ago","days of long ago", or "olden days". "For old times' sake," or "to the (good) old days," or "To days(or times) gone by")

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne ?

CHORUS:

For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

And surely you’ll buy your pint cup !
and surely I’ll buy mine !
And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine ;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine^† ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

And there’s a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

I am so vewy gwateful to have all of you as my fwiends and my hope fow the New Yeaw is that you all stay Healthy and Happy and ouw fwiendships gwow even mowe

Mommi and Daddi's outing

My Pawents finally bwaved the cwowds to go uptown..it's only five stops on the subway, but a whole diffewent wowld fwom ouw quiet neighbowhood

Being an angel(hehehehehehe) I opted to stay at home wif my wondewful bone that I got fwom Maggie and Mitch

Fiwst Mommi and Daddi went to see the skatews behind the Public Libwawy in Bwyant Pawk
then walked up fifth Avenoo..well twied to walk anyway..Mommi says it's a vewy good thing I didn't come along..cause thewe was an ocean of hoomans and I would have gotten twampled
Hewe's a smilebox wif some of what they saw:





Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Exhausting, but bootiful is what Mommi said and as a wewawd fow being an "angel" we all shawed a special dinnew in bed, hehehehehe
