my TWIN and LIL-SISSY

I bet you think this is my pwesent fwom the gift exchange, but you'we wong...this was a total suwpwise
a gweat big box addwessed to Mommi , Daddi and ME

I had to investigate immediately

thewe was a bootiful lettew and tons of stuff fow all of us fwom my twin Nicky


let me explain!!!

as some of you know, I was bowned in Nowf Cawolina..one of six bootiful kids (thwee boys, and thwee giwls) at Birchhuwst Kennels

I was known as giwl-shouldew -one-spot...not a vewy pwetty name, but it descwibed me

thewe was anothew one-spot kid..a handsome boy , who was named Nicky by his wondewful new pawents, who took him home to annofew pawt of nowf Cawolina


I don't have a baby pictoowe of him to show you


ouw dog-mom is this bootyful lady , called Tweasuwe

and ouw Dog-dad is this studly guy, called Rocky


Nicky gwew up to be a vewy handsome boy, and he saw my bloggie one day, and stawted witing me...and so we found each othew again...I hope to one day go to visit him so we can see each othew in pawson, but meanwhile, I have to be content wif pictoowes and lettews

this is my handsome bwuvvew Nicky

in one of his lettews he told me the exciting news, that his pawents went back and got him a baby sissy fwom the same place..she's ouw half-sissy...and hew name is Jenny...isn't she bootiful??

Nicky has a polka dotted tummy just like me...we have decided that we awe twins, not just littewmates
Jenny was a handful fow Nicky at fiwst, she kept challenging his seniowity but now they have wowked things out and awe wondewful bwuvvew and lill-sissy, and awe soooo lucky to have each othew to play wif



awen't they adowable?????



hew favowitest colow is pink, and his is blue



and she is now abootiful young lady


anyway..I digwess......
Nicky,Jenny, and theiw pawents sent us this pwesent..they felt bad fow all the wotten times we've had lately, and sent us theiw love and gifts to cheew us

this magnificent bag is all fow me!!! isn't it gowgeous??? OWANGE!!!! you'll note, and full of goodies
I got a faboolous duck stuffy, a pawfect pink chewy fwom Jenny, a suede and wope bone, and the most delicious, healthy fabulous tweats........I love evewything!!! THANK YOU SO VEWY MUCH!!!!!!!


and look at this !!!!!! theiw Mom collects bootiful chwistal and silvew, and found this pattewn called "fiwst love" and sent it to my pawents..it's fowm the time of Mommi's favowitest womantic ewa(Nicky's Mom's too)...the time of black and white films, and fox tewwiews galowe



these glasses awe pawfect fow champagne ow pawtinis..and we will toast theiw families' good health on many , many occasions...we awe so gwateful and happy with evewything you sent...Thank you is not enough...
This is a pwetend pictoowe of Nicky and me togefew...the two shouldew-one-spots..twins!!!!
I think family and fwiends awe the most impowtant things in the wowld, and I feel so lucky to have my twin
I hope you all had a gweat weekend..
smoochie kisses

meemsnyc said...

Oh my goodness Asta, that is the most awesome story. I love that photo of you and Nicky. So cute.

Gus said...

Oh Asta, how lucky you are to know so much about your bruzzer and half sissie. They are beautiful, certainly a family trait, and they look like they would be fun to know, just like you are.

We hope you have a wonderful week. I have to make sure muzzer doesn't pack me into a box, so I don't sit still too long.

more later
lots of kissies

Hi, Asta -

What a great story. The crystal looks very pretty and you get to stay in contact with your twin brother.

We love the last picture of the two of you - the same expression. There is no mistake that you are brother and sister.

Love -

Hershey and Kaci

Asta,
What a great package! It is so special that your twin was there for you; no doubt you would have done the same. Those presents for your pawrents are so precious and beautiful; how thoughtful.

While those gifts are pawsome their gift of friendship is the most beautiful gift of all (as you already pointed out). I am so happy for you.
woof!

Oh Asta!
What a beautiful family you have!!!
Those were the best pictures ever!
And you are right - family is what really matters. Sometimes I go visit my half-sister, Storm. She likes to TRY and beat me up!!

Lenny said...

You really do like twins! That's so great you have a new little sister. I don't know where I come from - it would be nice to find out. Your people should have a Nick and Nora Charles party!

Your friend, Lenny

Renna the Princess Puppy said...

You two are twins!!! How neat you know where your brother and half sister are. I was one of a kind in my litter. All my brothers and sisters are almost solid black with a little white here and there. I do not now where they all are now, I hope they found good homes like me.

Stella said...

Oh, Sweet Bootiful Asta fren!

Your bruzzer, Nicky FOUND YOU!! I am certain you two are twins because he seems like his heart is so full of love that he just had to find his twin sissy and spill some of it out to her! Plus, he is a gorgeous wire boy, so that clinches it. (Good looks definitely run in your family).

I hope you get to meet each other some day. The bitey face & wrasslin' will last for hours at your reunion. And, I'm sure that it would end in a big puppy pile with you and Jenny splayed on top of Nicky Boy!

Thanks for sharing the story. I LOVE happy endings, and I LOVE YOU!

Goobery kissies from your BBFF,
Stella Bean

Stanley said...

Sweet Astaroni FB!

I let Stella use the pooter this morning and of course, the first place she goes is to your blog. She is SO CURIOUS about your life and everyone who loves you.

She came running back to me and was so excited I couldn't even understand what she was saying. Her words just kept running together, so all I could understand were the words "Asta", "bruzzer", and "pink"! (You evidently got the same pink chew bone that Stella got from Maggsie & Mitch & she was excited.)

I am SO HAPPY that you are finding more of your family! I know how important that is to you, and NIcky looks like the best kind of big bruzzer ~ caring, patient, and able to handle the assault of a new baby sissy landshark with grace and poise. You two will meet someday, I'm almost positive. I bet you will instantly bond and have the best wrasslin match of your lives!

Please tell Nicky that I would love to meet him someday (since he probably wants to check out your boyfriend), and we could even trade sissy training tips.

Goober love & congratulatory smooches,
STanley

Petra said...

These picutres just made me smile, Asta! You are so lucky that Nicky found you --- and now you have Jennie in your life, too.

What a happy story!

That was so enjoyable to read about and it was nice to meet Nicky through your writing...the pictures were wonderful and it was so nice the package that you all received...I bet your mummy and daddy really smiled big when the package came...I agree, Family and Friends are the greatest in the world and most important...
Thank you for sharing

Lizzy said...

Asta!

Wow, that's a really cool how you met your shoulder-one-spot brother again! I can't believe how similar you both look together.

That was really nice of Nicky and his humans to send you and your family that wonderful package. I'm sure it made you all feel very special!

Abby said...

Hi, Asta...

You asked me how I stay so white & fluffy...

My Mom drives me crazy...She takes me to the "Spa" every 6 to 8weeks & gives me a bath every other Sunday...

I'd be very happy to roll around in the dirt & have her leave me alone...But you know how those Moms are...

Abby xxxooo

Agatha and Archie said...

HEY!!! Guess what!! We know them!! Well sort of..PL2 writes to their PL and tells her all kinds of stupid stuff about having 2 dogs...We of course then write back and tell Nicky and Jenny to do the total opposite!!!! You look exactly alike!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those are lovely presents...........Love and kisses A+A
