NewHamstew last pawt

This is the little sitting woom next to ouw bedwoom..thewe awe windows on bof sides, so the light and bweeze awe always nice..we'we vewy lucky to get this woom..thewe awe zillions, but this is my favowite sweet..lots of places to sit and wun awound even when I'm inside



Mommi was outside having coffee and ummm and evil stick, while waiting fow bweakfast..I tied hew up fow punishment (she was weawing a TinTin T-shiwt to sneep in , fow those of you wiwy types who know what that is)

It was Daddi's tuwn to cook..he made lemon wicotta pancakes ..Mommi only put the powdewed sugaw, lemon wind and blackbewwie decowations on....she got off weal easy, but then she's pwetty useless in the mowning

natoowally I taste tested it befowe sewving it to anyone...wouldn't want them poisoned, hehehe


Auntie Kawen's Sissy Wobewta twied to play wif me..she is vewy sweet and loves me, but I don't think she weally knows what to do wif a wiwy kid...she's used to bettew behaved doggies

auntie Kawen and Mommi wewe weawing theiw twin shoes..awen't they silly???


we went fow a dwive and to find anti-Q stowe and gawage sales..I saw this bootiful little cweek, but I wasn't allowed to go in..Booooooooo
we passed lots of little lakes and pwetty holiday hotels

and I found out that when Daddi was a puppi, he went to a summew camp awound hewe
the antiQ place wouldn't let me in, so Daddi sat wif me outside..Mommi said evewything was too expensive and she could buy it in NY fow that..besides, she doesn't need anything
finally we got back home, and I got my lunch..punkin wif Kibble..I love it


today was a gweat day fow playing cwocket..so we went to the back of the house...thewe used to be a tea house and tennis couwt here when Pwesident Cleveland came fow his summews, but they'we gone nowthat little house will be fixed up as auntie Susan's studio...Mommi was jelly

so they measoowed and stuff and stuck little wiwe tunnels in the gwass and then said we'we weady to play
I was not invited to play..I heawd wumows that they thought I might chew the wooden stickies and the balls too...I have no idea why they would think that
so I was tied up and allowed to watch and cheew..that's all

and this is the stoopid view I had..They figoowed that if I could see the ball wolling, and being hit, I would twy to get it

Daddi plays weally well....Mommi.....not so much, hehehehe



I got intewested in this woodpile next to the gawage, and guess what, the day aftew we left..thewe was a beaw thewe...gulp..that was a nawwow escape



the hoomans got silliew and silliew as the game pwogwessed

I think this stuff they wewe dwinking the whole time had something to do wif it
they claimed it impwoved theiw game, all I know is they suwe got vewy giggly

fow instance...just look at auntie Kawen..........................................................I west my case..
they even knocked the little tunnels down and had to put them back
it looks like auntie Kawen is, umm sitting on that stick..I think that's illegal
well, being wefewee and cheewing gave me quite an appetite!

auntie Kawen was the cook that night..It was a gweat soufwestewn wecipe fwom a guy called Bobby Flay....gwilled salmon
and salsa, and potato salad that stings...I only had the salmon

I got sneepy fwom all the excitement, and soon went to bed


the hoomans moved to the scweened powches, cause they wewe being eaten alive by mosquitos

the next mowning we wewe leaving..Dot was guawding the food fow us till we came to bweakfast..he was vewy polite and didn't snitch any , the way I would have

Unkel Dick made Fwench toast wif fwuit, and owange sauce and snausages...guess what my favowite pawt was, hehehehehe snausages!!!!!



a last sad look awound

Auntie Sue and Unkel Dick waved goobye as we dwove off..they awe the best hosts evew!! Thank you fow a faboolous Fouwf of July...see you soon!!!!



let's go home


pleeze fwiends..cwoss youw paws fow tomowwow..

Daddi gets his wesults fwom his six momfly cancew checkup, and auntie Kawen is having suwgewy...
I may not be able to post ow answew vewy wegoolawly fow a while, cause Mommi is taking cawe of auntie Kawen, but I'll twy to do it as much as I can

Wheeley Wednesday Myrna's being Mystewious


Hello evewyone..this is ASTA speaking..I'll xplain why

I got home fwom New Hampstew(the twip pictoowes will continue tomowwow)
and found Myrna in a dead faint!
I was weally wowwied, and put hew to bed..I couldn't figoowe out what happened while we wewe gone...I found champagne glasses and wemains of a feast.. but othewise all the things in the house wewe nowmal

NewHamstew pawt 2


I woke up to a bootiful New Hamstew Mowning (btw...I didn't see any Hamstews ..old ow new...vewy disappointing..I was hoping to tell them about Girl Girl and hew fwiendses)
so I did a happy Woach to stawt the day wif my cown cob





Daddi watched while he had his coffee

then a little excewcise to get the blood mooving





aftew that I thought I would just sit and contemplate my good fowtune to be hewe

Auntie Kawen came out so I wan to gweet hew...I'm always happy to see hew

the hoomans had bagels and cweam cheese and smoked salmon fow bweakfast.....Dot and I wewe vewy intewested ( I'm vewy lucky cause Mommi always shawes bweakfast wif me)
she took an extwa bagel to bwing to me cause I was still outside



I had a good post bweakfast wun, but then it stawted getting hot
it was time to go into Tamwowf..theiw little town..whewe they wewe going to have a Fouwf of July Pawade...I was all dwessed and checking out the flowews that matched my outfit, while I waited fow the hoomans to get weady
we pawked the caw, and walked past some pwetty gawdens , to ouw spot whewe we like to watch the pawade..we had to find shade
Thewe awe a lot of howsies awound hewe and this one was all dwessed up

then came this scaiwy guy, I'm kind of glad he didn't spot me..he doesn't look so happy
they had all sowts of silly things, like this "shewman tank"hehehehehe

I liked this baby Mooo cow a lot
I have no idea what this was supposed to be...small towns suwe awe diffewent than NYC
Daddi bwought me ove to say hi to this vewy cute little sheltie puppy, I'm sowwy you can't see him..he was the pwettiest in the whole pawade
we wewe happy to see that some hoomans still wead

then came a whole bunch of vewy noisy fiwe twucks..but I didn't even flinch

as long as I was next to Daddi, I felt pawfectly fine

this is a pictoowe of all the females hooman ow dog fwom the house...Mommi says I was the pwettiest, even though I wasn't weawing wed , white , and blue
we got back to the house and just hung awound fow a while..it got too hot at that point..so evewyone had napses


fiwst Daddi checked me fow ticks



aftew ouw napses, we stwolled awound, and stawted to get weady fow the BBQ

we wewe going to eat outside today

while we waited fow evewything to get weady, Mommi wead to me fwom the Dangewous Book fow Dogs..(that was hew favowite cownew fow sitting, cause thewe was always a bweeze)
Hambuwgews, Hot Dogs, Potato Salad, Baked Beans, Cole Slaw and that was just the beginnning...then thewe was cake!!!..I had some of evewything except cake, cause that was chocolate..but I had a cookie instead....I think Mommi and I awe bof going on a diet aftew this weekend...
I twied to convince hew that I don't need to, cause than I can join my fwiends in the substantial wiwes club, but she didn't buy my awgooment

anothew pawfect day comes to an end...to be con't.
