Twoo Heawts and a big wequest for CHEF

IMPAWTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Befowe I tell you a nice stowy, pleez go to Chef's bloggie and cwoss youw paws fow his Dad.

also pleez go to Butchy and Snickew's bloggie and vote fow him

now fow my nice stowy

You know , us fuwwkids  have to wely on ouw hooman secwetawies to help us  wite ouw lettews and posts, and sometimes, they don't do it..
Thewe's all sowts of excooses
Wowk, laziness, sickies, hooman family, all sowts of things happend, but the thing is, we get neglected .

Fow instance, many of you know that Stanley the woolew of Goobewstan is sowt of my financee
umm, Imean , he did come and spend the night at my house and gave me a hooge diamond, but that was last yeaw.

Since then, his Giwl has had lots of pwoblems wif hew time..like looking fow wowk,  being depwessed fwom no wowk, and, well, Stanley has not been posting ow witing like he used to.

(meantime, his Giwl gots a new jobs and just stawted this week..go wish hew luck!)

My newew fwiends pwobably don't even know that he and I awe an item.  I was quite sad about this, but knew it wasn't his fault, and I'm a twoo bloo sowt of giwl, so even though I love lots of boyz, my one twoo love has aways been Stanley.

(He undewstands when I go on adventoowes ow dates wif othews as long as my heawt stays twoo.)

I've been missing him and on top of all the othew sadness this wasn't good

well, look what came in the mail fow me

you can bigify it so that you can see his sweet wowds

he calls me Asta O' My Heart

sighhhhhhhhhh

I swooned, I fainted, I was soo happy that he still loves me

I had to get in that bag and see what he sent me

this is not so easy to open

I think I'm finally getting it

it's a fwosted stwawbewwy pupcake

a sweet just fow me fwom my Sweet

(pleez excoose my watty , diwty appeawance, but ouw stweets awe yucky  when wet, and this was befowe my baf)

I love it!!!

I munched it!!!

till  thewe was nothing left...  now I know, Stanley still won't have time fow me like he used to, but I have to wemembew his heawt is twoo

ahhhh twoo love

smoochie kisses

Fwiends always

I apologize fow not coming awound and  seeing you my deew fwiendses..Pleez know, I love you and even when I don't post, you awe in my heawt and mind aways!!!!

It's been a hawd time in bloggie land.  It's impossible to undewstand why some families awe given so much mowe than anyone should have to beaw.  Like Penny , Poppy and Patches' Mom Lana who lost hew deaw husband and then Poppy a week latew..

so tewibully unfaiw and I have no wowds to give  as  solace.  

Mommi was so sad that she couldn't even post and twy to acknowledge my fwiends' cwossing ovew the wainbow bwidge

I've been holding hew tight and twying to tell hew that  it's diffewent fow us doggies.

We don't wowwy the way hoomans do, and while we miss ouw fwiends, we know that we will see them again and awe happy that they had lives whewe they wewe loved and tweasoowed by theiw families and fwiends and they won't evew be fowgotten, and now they awe young again and pain fwee and waiting fow us and time is not the same as hewe on eawf.......so it's OK...

I wish we could teach ouw hoomans to 

enjoy the moments and not keep thinking of the losses.  It's hawd

I tweasoowe the memowies I have of my sweet and wise and polite fwiend Hamish..he taught me so much about life and his bootiful pawt of the wowld.  We shawed some gweat fun times, and I'm happy to say, I was able to intwodooce him to the joys of taking a  baf in powwidge while dwinking a wee dwam to soof his itchie skin a while ago.

I look fowawd to seeing him again one day..fawe thee well my deew fwiend

and sweet Poppy, what can I say fow hew Mom's bwoken heawt..I think maybe she wanted hew Dad not to be alone, and went to join him .  She knew  that Penny and Patches would be hewe to love and comfowt theiw Mom.

I love you Poppy and will always keep you in my heawt.

Sometimes it seems like being pawt of the bloggie wowld is too painful, then we get a wemindew of the bootiful side of being in this commoonity.

Ouw Deew Fwiend the Gowgeous Max fwom souf Afwica was invited by his fwiends to come and visit. So many fuwwfwiends fwom all ovew the wowld wanted to  have him visit that it tuwned into a wowld touw!

This touw showed ouw love fow each othew and the suppowt that we always twy to pwovide when a fwiend is in need.

Mommi made this pictoowe fow Max and his Mom Cawyl as a sooveneew of that love.

You can biggify it and hopefully find youwself if you wewe pawt of this pwoject.

Pleez feel fwee to take the pictoowe and use it on youw bloggie if you want.

Pleez take cawe and tweasoowe the good times we have
Smoochie kisses

SLUDGE and Books

SLUDGE!

This is widicoolous..this is what we get instead of bootiful snow..we had snow fow a day..lovely, then they said it would snow again all day..xept it must have been a nonseeing weathewman (he needed a seeing eye helpew doggie in my opinion)

cause when I went out, stuff that was falling was white all wight, but by the time it hit the gwound, it was just watew..diwty watew at that..YUCK!!!!

natoowally it destwoyed all the nice white snow.

despite that, Mommi said I needed a walkie and fwesh aiw, so she gwabbed me and dwagged me acwoss the West village to go to one of hew favowite Book Stowes

(thank dog it's still hewe..these little pwivate bookstowes awe dwopping like flies, and while Mommi likes the intewnet , she adowes WEAL BOOKS

theiw smell, theiw feel, the noise of tuwning a page..just the whole thing

we awwived and you can see the stoopid howizontal wain-snow coming down

don't wowwy, I was only tied up fow the photoop..I nevew stay outside by myself

well, this is nice..good smells (when my Mommi had my angel sissie Nowa, the ownews of the bookstowe had a welsh tewwiew giwl in the stowe wowking wif them..Nowa used to love to go visit hew)

Now thewe awe no mowe doggies ,but vewy nice hoomans

c'mon Mommi ..I see some good books hewe

let's buy one

well aftew about almost an houw of puttewing awound and weading into books by sitting on the wooden steps inside, while I said hello to evewyone who came in and helped wif selections,

Mommi finally decidewed and we could go home

thwoo the sludge  towawds home and a nice wawm fiweplace, some tea and a good book while Mommi scwitches my eaw and mooshes my tummie

all in all, the only way to spend this kind of day

(specially if you awe still too sad to be jumping awound)

take good cawe of youwselves

smoochie kisses
