MAX'S WOWLD TOUW

I'd like to dedicate this Valentine's day post to the loved ones we've lost.

It's been a tewwibully sad time in Bloggie land wecently.

My  heawt is  so heavy wif sadness when I wead about the pain some of my fwiends awe endoowing, but the joy and love I've gotten fwom my fwiends on the blog is immesuwable, and makes my heawt sing.

So I'd like to celebwate that love we shawe!

My sweet Fwiend Max stopped in New Yawk City on his Valentine's Day Wowld Touw

(thanks to the magic of blogland, he is able to visit so many of us this day)

I am so happy and honowed to spend the day wif him.
He was the most wondewful host showing me his gowgeous homeland when i was lucky enuff to visit him a few momfs ago.
I hoped that I would be able to show him a little bit of the same hospitality.

Natoowally, I wanted to show Max some of  ouw landmawks.

He and I climbed all the way to the top of the Statoo of Libewty.
My Mommi sailed into NewYawk Hawbow as a littol giwl a billion yeaws ago fwom Oowope and still wemembews the thwill of seeing this lady.

Aftew we climbed down the many staiws ( I hope it wasn't too tiwing ), we walked along the Hudson wivew watewfwont next to my house. 

Max had seen me walking thewe in some of my posts, and wanted to see it and the view of the Lady in the Hawbow  fwom this  vantage point.

next we went to look at the skyline fwom the top of the Chwyslew Building.

It's pwetty pawsome and vewy vewy diffewent fwom what Max is used to.

by the time we went up to Centwal Pawk, the snow was coming down..I was glad, beacause I had hoped that Max would be able to expewience the fun  I have when I play in it.  Max said it added a little something extwa to the taste of his Fwisbee, and his bootiful thick coat pwotected him fwom the cold.  I think he quite liked it.

As you can see, snow didn't stop us fwom the next thing on my agenda, shawing my favowite gelato wif Max

I wanted to show him my house too..it's just an apawtment and not a big house and pool like he's used to, but  he felt wight at home and  I found he has a most bootiful voice when we sang a doo ett  

The day went much too fast,, as all good things seem to.

Max had many many mowe fwiends to visit. 

 I  thanked him fow coming, and kissed him Adieu

MAX, I will keep you in my heawt, till I get to see you again!

all my love and smoochie kisses

Good Night To the Best dog in the wowld

SNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You might know that I have been waiting fow snow fow the longest time

Tuwning gween wif jellyness evewytime I wead of all the snow my fwiends wewe having

and GWWWWWWWWW,  the stoopid weathew hooman getting my hopes up sevewal times, only to have my heawt disappointed in the mowning

but this time it happened

they didn't lie

Ok it wasn't as much as they said, but I got SNOW!

Make a Smilebox slideshow

Daddi got to stay home fwom wowk because of the "blizzawd" and the thwee of us went fow a walk

I got snow all ovew me in no time

Mommi was sooo happy fow me

we had a lovely walk, but I couldn't wun fwee..a nasty doggie was in the pawk whewe I went, and so we left.

He hates me fow some weason fwom the fiwst moment he laid eyes on me( I was eight weeks old at the time, and not vewy thweatening, so I don't know why)

Mommi had a bwilliant idea

"let's go on the woof" she said

Make a Smilebox greeting

as you can see, this was gweat

pwistine snow, just fow me

I'm the fiwst one to make twacks in it

(could have something to do wif the fact that this pawt of the woof is not supposed to be walked on, hehehehe)

this is ouw secwet woof

and when I was a baby and couldn't get to the stweet level fast enuff (seven floows down), Mommi would bwing me hewe)

I didn't want to go inside  when my pawents called

but finally a bwibe got me to come..what a pawfect day!!!!
I hope all of you had one too

smoochie kisses

No fun on the Wiviewa fow Judges

When Mango dwopped me off in the souf of Fwance for Sea Quest Heawding, I had dweams of lounging on sunny beaches and meeting new fwiends , eating pate and fwites , and oozy cheeses

I did meet a new fwiend wight away..a lovely Gweat Gweat Dane , she said hew name was Jacie
and she wanted to be my BFF

I stawted to get suspicious, when the day aftew I met hew and spent some time wif hew, she sent me this message

 "Don't you just ADORE my Michael Kors purse??  I loved the way it expanded after I won all that money at the casino!!!  Those dogs we picked up...er who escorted us were totally hot...I couldn't believe that little Welshie was afraid of my size...I'm just a tiny thing....OR NOT....sheesch. Do you have some heels I could borrow...these are so tight I can hardly walk....

Toodles, Girlie...

So glad I've met ya!!

Kisses,

Your new friend,

Jacie

Pee ess...sorry about all the shrieking when you were driving...those cliffs are steep!"

I got an uwgent phone call fwom Mango telling me I was NOT supposed to FWATEWNISE

Sheesh.this is going to be lonely

not only that,  but despite the lovely sunshine, it wasn't any wawmew than in NewYawk

I was fweezing my bumbum off

I had to go buy mowe wintew clotheses

Just look at what the Sea looks like..sheeeeesh!!!

I put on my hoodie and stayed in my woom..I can tell you I was getting a little boowed despite the gowgeous Owange woom Mango had wesewved fow me (he is vewy genewous)

Then I wemembewed that the Casino in Monte Cawlo was just down the woad, so I put on my evening dwess and got weady fow a faboolous night

When I got to the casino I was told that they had gotten a wawning of a possible gas attack by a welentlessly hooge individooal and it had emptied the place fow the season

I guess when the Mango says No Fwatewnising, he means it..I'm playing solitaiw fow the doowation of my sea Quest Heawding.

I just hope it doesn't put me to sneep and I miss the night of the final judging

smoochie kisses and good luck to all the Con Test Ants

(make shoowe you go check out the voting on the Mango Minstew Site)

Confoosion

I wote Mango a lettew about my puzzlement,

Deew Mango,

I got a little confoosed about Sea Quest Hewding..

Fiwst I went and found the cast of Sea Quest..but I felt vewy out of place and didnt weally like them

They awe a vewy stiff and dated bunch in my opinion and not at all welcoming.

Then I went to the Aquawium in Boston like you suggested and

twied to hewd some fish..they wouldn't co-opewate

I twied to be nice and feed them, but honestly, I don't weally like fish that much

It was cold and slimy and stuff and I've decided  that the Sea was the most impawtant pawt of the sea quest hewding

so I went to the souf of Fwance..it's much mowe comfowtable  and welaxing.

I think it will put me in the wight fwame of mind to  do a gweat job of judging

I'm also tewwibly pwoud and pleased to have gotten this bootiful awawd fwom Zoolatwy!!!

thank you so vewy much deew Fwiends!!!  I'm showing it off to evewyone on the wiviewa

smoochie kisses
