fawewell to a sweet little fwiend

Youw smile will stay in my heawt till we meet again SnowBall...I will miss you

SnowBall has been my good fwiend fow a long long time, and today she had to cwoss the bwidge.(she has not posted on hew blog fow ages and has mostly been on facebook lately. Hew illness took up too much of JieJie's time, but Pleez leave them a message at one ow the othew place)

I am vewy vewy sad too many of my owiginal fwiends fwom the blog have cwossed the bwidge and so many who awe still hewe awen't blogging anymowe.

I miss those times when we wewe all togethew

She was funny and bwave and vewy much loved by hew pawents and hew JieJie who did evewything in hew powew to give Snow Ball the best life possible.
Many of us who have been pawt of Dogs Wif Blogs have known hew fow yeaws and had many adventoowes and fun times wif hew.

Snowball loooved going to the beach, and Jie Jie made suwe she had a job that allowed hew to take the time to go thewe wif hew as much as pawsibull. When Snow Ball stawted to get ill, jie jie used evewything in westew medicin and in altewnate healing to give hew the best quality of life fow as long as pawsibull.

I once went to Sing a Paw to massage hew sowe little body to twy to help, but the pain was too much and hew little body couldn't fight anymowe
finally Snowy had to leave us
anothew bootiful angel was needed in heaven..
I believe hew spiwit and smile will stay hewe wif hew family and all hew fwiends in ouw heawts until it's ouw time, and we see hew in heaven swimming and playing and getting all the tweats she wants

I'm sending my love to hew family and hope that they will take comfowt in knowing that Snowball was the happiest , luckiest little giwl whose life was always full of love!

Nobuddy Told Me It Was Wong

I had a vewy busy weekend..it was Daddi's Biwfday on Sunday and we wanted to celebwate all weekend long..

Satuwday mowning we all got on the subway to go up to Centwal Pawk fow a special Doggie Countwy Faiw.

I had to stay in my twavel bag while on the subway( to pwotect all the nice hoomans fwom me)
heheheheheheheehehehe

It's only five stops, so it only took about ten mimutes to get thewe

it was a gowgeous fall day

We got out at 72nd stweet

Look whewe we awe as soon as we entew the pawk

( Agatha and Awchie, this is fow youw PLs)

while at the pawk, Mommi thought it would be a gweat idea fow me to get my canine good citizen cewtificate

I wemembewed the sign I saw eawliew,
IMAGINE
so I stawted getting excitewed thinking of all the things I could do if i had that piece of papew
I could get a highew degwee and visit hoomans in hopsitals ow nuwsing homes and kiss them and make them feel bettew..I think I can do this

then weality hit...it was not to be...............

watch my smilebox fow mowe pictoowes of this day

Make a photo album

I took the test..
thewe wewe ten items I was tested on
I sat, I stayed,I didn't bawk, I walked in a cwowd of doggies and hoomans and didn't lunge ow twy any funny business, I didn't move when she wattled the fence, ow dwopped hew clip boawd on puwpose,I let hew handle me wif a comb, and touch all my feets
BUT
I was supposed to go up to the test doggie and natoowally when I got thewe , I kissed him and I did the same thing to the testing lady
the lady twied to pwetend she liked me and then
she flunked me(that was the only thing she took points off fow)..KISSES, I ask you???????????????

Nobuddy evew told me kissing was wong
Mommi had to console me..she said the test was wong, and I was wight and the bestest canine citizen in the wowld( but I didn't get a cewtificate ow a tag).BOOOO HOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO

Asta's contwibootion

One day last week, I gots a peemail fwom a modeling agency..I don't know how they found me, I didn't wegistew wif them, but my angel sissie and bwofuws had some jobs yeaws ago,
So this lady asked Mommi if she still had a Wiwy kid, and what do i look like...Mommi said"why yes we have a foxy giwl and if you want to see hew why don't you look at hew bloggie?" Half an houw latew she said i had a job the next day.

I was thwilled, you know how Daddi is looking fow a new job, and Mommi is spending too much time away fwom me and hew painting by wowking at unkel Tony's Tap Dance Studio to make gween papews, well, this would allow me to help them out, hehehehehehe

I hopped into a Taxi to go uptown

"awe we thewe yet Daddi?"

finally, we awwived at ouw destination on the UppewWestSide of Manhattan

This is what it looked like when we awwived...I wasn't allowed to take mowe pictoowes of the ackshual modeling, but suffice it to say, I did my job

it was exhausting..take aftew take aftew take (it was fow a company called animation stowieboawds..they make animated clips fwom weal action pictoowes)

It was nice to sneep on the way home knowing I contwibooted to the tweat fund

(I'm still pwaying hawd fow my deew fwiends who awe so vewy ill..pleez continoo to send them youw good wishes and love)

BUTCHY'S EAWLY BIWFDAY PAWTY

Tuesday is going to be Butchy love's tenth biwfday, but he has to go to the dogtowfow some scawy suwgewies tomowwow, so

a bunch of us decided to thwow him an eawly Biwfday Pawty

his baby sissieKatie(wif angel sissie Snickew's guidance) made all the awwangements..called all of us, asked Sylvestew , hew cat bwofuw if he could pleez pick evewyone up in Butchy's plane

I got a text message fwom Lacie while I was on woote:

"Now don't worry about Auntie Snitchy...I am already there and she's been drinking Butchy's pre-surgical smoothies with gusto...Butchy is playin' poker with the boyz...all is calm...well, I may have test driven a few too many of those smoothies myself...I told Butchy that I had installed a heater in the pond and we're goin' skinny dippin' tonight..well after Katie goes to bed and the cats don't like water. What time are you arriving? I can send Stanley aftew you...."

by the time I awwived wif my gifts and balloons and snausage links and hanging cheeseballs,Lacie was aweady sewving hew smoofies all awound to Agatha and Awchie, Gussie and Teka(who has a tummie upset and should not eat ow dwink any of the goodies.) Gussie bwought along galons of the most lushus psgetti sauce

auntie Linda, Butchy and Katie's Mama baked an amazing cake.

My wondewful Sissie Fewgie was doing play bows to Butchy( I'm amazed and so vewy pwoud of the immense pwogwess she has made in coming out of hew shell and bwavely joining in ouw games) and my Bwofuw Jake was just sitting down at the cawd table wif the west of the boyz

I just know it will be a splendid Pawty..Celebwating Butchy's tenth Biwfday!

Pleez come and join us in wishing him a long healthy life,(we have plenty of yummies fow all, and tell him you will be cwossing youw paws that his suwgewy is successful and the lumpies the dogtow found awe hawmless!!!!
