More Summer Play at the West Village Doggie Run

This was not TODAY...today stunk! it was so hot I didn't even get to go to the run, and it looks like the next few days are supposed to be rainy..so this is a post about another day ,

It was a bootiful summers day with poofy clouds and warm bweezy tempewatures..I think at the rate the world is going they will be mowe and mowe rare....we'll either dwown or melt...but I don't want to get mowbid, so here's some genuine puppy fun ......
You have to ignore all the stoopid hooman talk..most especially the tewwible things my Mommi said
I'm mowtified and extwemely embawwased,but she doesn't even apologise, hrmpf........Wiley and I like to westle and play bitey face, we take tuwns and it all wowks out just fine..the other cutie is Daisy, she doesnt like to lie down and let us chew on her,heheheh....it's all good fun!


At the end uncle Noah(Daisy's Dad) taunted me with a wope toy...I think he thinks I'm a circus Doggie or sumpin.....I don't cawe as long as I get to play.
Here's hoping we get many mowe nice play days....goodnight everydoggie,sneep tight
smoochie kisses

Oops

This is Arturo,
on my last post I had him in my title,and then I got soo involved with ice cweam and plus I was super sneepy, that I fowgot to tell you about him...I met him on my walk with Mommi yesterday. He's Italian, he was born in Venice(one of my pawentses favowite cities, and he was quite chawming)
As you can see, he's a handsome boy, and his Daddy wanted me to mawwy him and have his childwen,heheheheh,my Mommi said Sowwy,but she's a childwen hewself,plus she can't have babies cause she's fixed(I've heawd this befowe fwom other doggies, and none of us were bwoken so I don't weally know what they had to fix on us)
He was twying to get me intewested,but my heawt is awready taken by Jackson and Stanley,and Butchy,and Gussie,and Oscar,andMitchy,and Bussie, and Tad,and the little Stinky Jaffaman,and Archie and the bawkalot Boyz,andBogart,and Mackie,and Lenny , and Finny...........and all the wonderful handsomest bloggy boyfwiends..the list is sooo long ,I can't even wite it and don't want to leave anyone out, and I'm suwe I have so pweez fowgive me boys...anyway, it was flattewing to be admiwed and kissed, but I'm NOT getting mawwied

My tenth momf birfday and Arturo

Hello evewydoggie..the wain has stopped..and I had a super good day...Mommi was feeling better,so she said "come on Asta let's go for a walk" OK Mommi
I had no idea, but appeawantly my fwiend Gussie owns a westauwant in Gweenwich Village..I'm pwetty suwe he sewves asparaGUS, and Wally melon, I hope he also has fweezy paws and cheeese and peanut butter and maybe some Steak and shake combo..but alas, I was never to find out 'cause we were meeting my aunt Kawen for "coffee", booooring..also unfair ,.specially given that it's my ten momfth birfday....but I'm just a puppy, and I don't get to decide these things....so I got dwagged down the stweet to a coffee place to sit and wait for aunt Kawen..
Mommi we've waited a whole two minuteses , can't we owder without her..what if she never gets here???
Ok, if we have to be in a coffee place, can I make my own owder pleez?
so Mommi let me...guess what I owdered........
The moment I've been waiting for...it's finally awwived
SUPER YUMMYLICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Nocciola my absolute favowite
I'm so vewy clean..can't leave stuff behind
Just making suwe there's no mowe left
There's no more gelato?or ice Cweam? or anything xept the coffee stuff? hrmpfff,that's vewy disappointing, why does evewything have to end?????will I know when I tuwn one??????I suwe hope the wain stopped for everydoggie all over and you had the gweatest day
smoochie kisses

How to make the best of a cwummy , lousy , wainy Monday

This is what it looked like when I stood at the window this mowning. and looked outside...pouwing wain and gwey all over
and it stayed like this alllll day,
definitely not a day when I could go to play at the wun, or even go for a long walk where I always bump into some puppy fwiends to say hi to and woll awound the sidewalk....none of that was possible today..what's a puppy to do????????

You can always just cuwl up in a cozy cowner, and sleep....or...............................
wiggle awound on the floow, and gwab your wubba, and hold on tight , while wolling awound, and stawing at the ceiling..I just love chomping on my toys upside down..I don't know why........it's kind of weird , but it's my favowite self-play positionI brought my bad Cuz to my Mommi and we played together...she's no tewwier, but she twies..I have a nice long hallway so you can thfow your toys and wun after them a whole loong time


Now what can I do?????
I guess I'll join Mommi in bed..she's not feeling so gweat...I'll play with her to cheer her up
Tewwiews need to chew..at least I do, and it helps keep my teefs all white too
I know it's silly, I'm past getting all my pawmenent teefs, but I still love my teefing wing
I like being on the nice soft downy comfowter..I think it's kind of like being on a cloud
It all ended with my special upside down chomp on my teething wing
It wasn't such a lousy day after all....I got to be in a cosy house with my pawents who love me to bits and I got to play and snooze and eat in between...ahhhhhhh the life
hope you all had a gweat day, smoochie kisses,
Asta

Us Pampered Pups

Listen Everydoggie..I have been doing some sewious thinking...i had aweady gone to bed, but i've been tossing and tuwning, not being able to sneep cause I'm so upset...tell me what you think?

I don't want to be a pawty pooper..most especially cause it's my sweet cousin Snickers' birfday,but here's what I thought..



I know how much fun it is to get and give pwezzies, but I feel that thewe's something wong with the wowld where I have soo much(love and toys, and fwiends) and then I wead about all the doggies who are being abused and get nothing....tonight I went to see what my fwiends Lita and Twish The Airechicks were up to..and what I wead on their site about Andy and some other doggie bwoke my heawt.

Can't we all do something???

I was thinking that maybe if we took the money fwom possible new pwezzies we get or give each other and instead gave it to wescue gwoups we could maybe help some of these doggies who have never known the love we get evewy day...it's maybe a stoopid idea, and I cewtainly enjoy my gifts always, and I don't want to wuin anydoggie's fun, but let's at least think about it pweez.....pweez...I know that none of us can change the howwible things in the wowld, but maybe we could do a little bit..

smoochie kisses and sweet dweams to all of you
your fwiend
Asta

A Vewy Special Day

This is a super special Day...SNICKERS' Birfday!!!!!!
I twied, I begged, I cajoled...but no one was willing to take me to Snickers' house to join Butchy and special guest Gussie in celebwating my super giwlfwiend and cousin(honest, we're weally welated)
I then twied to take my Mommi's pwetend Vespa, but I don't have any doggles, and anydoggie knows you can't wide your Vespa without doggles.
I was so sad I cwied till I fell asleep ,and guess what..in my dweam I was there..we were having a twopical pawty..there were flowers, and fishies and my fwiends Butchy, and Gussie, and the birfday girl ,Snickers, looking wadiant.
.we all sang and ate lots of yummy cake, and some of us even swam..I only got my toes wet.........
HAPPY BIRFDAY DEAR SWEET SNICKERS, MAY YOU HAVE MANY MANY MOORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!smoochie kisses,cousinAsta

Books I love

My vewy good fwiend Maggie tagged me to tell you about my five favowit books...this is an imposssible assignement..my house is overflowing with books..the choices awe too many, but I'll twy....she choose a pawfect day for this, cause it's waining "cats and Dogs"..btw what does that mean????????, anyway it's a wainy day, pawfect for weading your favowit books
I think this must be the one I wanted to wead
Is this the passage you meant Mommi????
I can't believe my eyes..they must be kidding...I think I'm going to have to weseawch this mowe
Now this is a pawticulawly intewesting passage, hmmmm
It is a well known fact, that other than absowbing a book by digesting it(I mean chewing it up)sleeping under a bunch of books lets you absowbe the maximum amount of knowledge
and since weading makes me quite sleepy in the end , it wowks out weally wellSo hewe is a list of my books:(keep in mind that I've only wead a few, since I'm not even ten momfs old, heheheh)
1. Teddy the Terrier( the adventuwes of a wire haired fox tewwier)
2. Spotted in France(a dalmation and his man twaveling together on a Vespa from Paris through the french countwieside...there's a lot of eating involved)
3. The Teddy Bears Picnic
4. All my Mommi's cookbooks(this way I can contwol what we eat)
5. Mondo Canine

and now I tag my fwiends, Oscar, Asta my twin, and Axel...tell us what you wead, I mean what books you like, heheheh

Time Capsule

My sweetie fwiend Putter tagged me to put five things into a time capsule..this is not as easy as it sounds, cause a bunch of the stuff I first thought of (cheese,cheese, cheese, goose liver) ..would all spoil...soooooo I had to give this some mowe sewious thought, hmmmmmmmm


So here is my list:
1. my owange mac powtable computer(as you know that's my favoritist color), so that I can have all my fwiends blogs and pictures fowever and ever, and evewyone can see how pwecious my fwiends awe.

2. my pajamas, cause they're soft and cozy, and they are the first thing that I ever got addwessed to me in the mail(plus my cousinsButchy and Snicker's Mama made them)

3. my Daddy's crockodile shoes, cause he wears them to walk me and take me to the wun, and they smell like him and they make a gweat toy in an emewgency,heheheheh

4.powtwaits of Nikki and Nora(painted by my Mommi),they were my bwother and sister who came befowe me and made my Mommi love wires to bits(and a set of the Thin Man Movies to explain my pawents obsession with us)

5. my Mommi's dweam Vespa, so I can go visit all my fwiends all over the world

So that's my list, and now I tag my fwiends, Agatha and Archie,Perfect Tosca, and My love ,Jackson
Pleez make a list of five things you'd put into the time capsule,thanks oodles


goodnight everydoggy, sleep tight...smoochie kisses your fwiend, ASTA

Bastille Day

I'm sending all of my doggie fwiends big smoochie fwench kisses for a happy Bastille Day...I know I'm not Fwench, and neither awe you, but it's a good weason to have a pawty, so I seize the moment.....so this is what I did....
This is where we started our celebwating for Bastille Day...duck rillettes, french bwead and wine, yummmmm(water for me)
You can just see my stripey Mommi in the backgwound at the baw, in fwont of her is a live band, they were pwetty goodWhen we got done celebwating at Le Deux Gamin, we decide to continue by walking over to auntie Kawens apawtement and pwetending that she has a deck.............
This is how we had to come out to the "deck"...thfru the window(have you noticed that my Mommi wears the same outfit for fourfth of July and Bastille Day???)it's the onlyest thing she has that's blue and white and wed...she's usually in solid black like a twue manhattanite.
I know this is all bluwwy, but I wanted you to see how clever we were, we set up a table and chairs out on auntie Karwen's pwetend deck(it's actually scaffolding awound her building ..but we NYers are nothing if not inventive, heheheh)
You have to take evewy oppowtunity, you don't want to miss a thing at these dinners

Mommi is a pwetty good shawer, I test all cheeses fow her to make suwe they're not tewwible to eat
Well awen't you going to shawe auntie Kawen????
Jeeez Daddy, there's no need to be so pwotective, it's not like I was going to take the whole thing, but that liver stuff suwe smells good
I think Id like some cornichons to go with my goose liver pleeez
HMMMMM, nice cheese selection, I'm moving fwom plate to plate so fast I'm bluwwy heheheh
Awe you absolutely suwe that her's no mooowe?????
The view fwom aunt Kawen's "deck" back towards my house and the Hudson
Total Bastille day exhaustion has finally set in..I don't know how those fwench puppys can take all this celebwrating
I suwe hope all of you had a tewwific weekend too.
Sleep tight and I'll talk to you all soonest
lots of love and smoochie kisses
