Asta Sweetie...Seems like there is a bad case of depression being passed around among DWB female hooman pawrents. I don't know what we can do. Me and Teka are going to consider your advice and try sleeping through it. The way things are going around here, we won't miss much!
gussie
We happen to think that your tree is lovely. We also think sleeping is a good thing to do any old time.
Gussie's not kiddin'...it's ugleeee 'round here too...
AND IT WON'T STOP WAINING...er raining...and we keep gettin' in trouble cuz our feetsies are muddy...sheeschsch...I mean we're dogs...that's our job.
I'm thinkin' I'm gonna go stuff Mumsie with chocolate to sweeten her up a bit and make her one of my famous frozen hot chocolate smoothies...she adores them...that should help.
Now Asta...go and give ur mom's face a good washing...maybe eat some cruncy peanut butter first to do a little X FOL E ATE ING on her....
Kisses, dear girlie!!
Laciecakes
My mum says she understands how your mum feels cause she also gets like that. Having all our bloggie frends helps .. Hugs Gj x
WE are depressed too :>( If we lived closer our Moms could get together and mope. U are doing better then us we don't even have our tree up. On the other hand our laudry room is turning a nice cheerful raspberry. And hopefully Mommy can dig us out from under all the laundry that has piled up if our Daddy will hook the washing machine and dryer up soon. ~S,S & F
Aaw Asta we are sad to read your Mommi is feeling so glum.
It hasn't stopped raining here for days and the skies are constantly grey so we quite understand how easy it is to feel a bit down.
We have been busy keeping our hooman busy. A bit like Scruffy, Lacie and Stan really, we bring in the mud and the towels are always filthy so she has to keep washing them and because we are keeping her busy we are so pawsitive she is forgetting she is fed up.
Give your Mommi loads of ((( )))) from us.
Molly, Taffy and MOnty
First of all. Your Christmas tree IS decorated. With beautiful candles that glow all over with warmth and love. OK. Maybe that's not all you had in mind, but we want you to notice all the wonderfulness around you and it let surround you and fill your hearts with love. And peace. And even some joy. That's what this season is all about. Regardless of who you are or where you're from. Or what you believe. Or how you celebrate. Forget the cards, pressies, special food (that's hard - we admit it!), decorations. All that stuff. And rejoice in the true Spirit of the Season.
We love you, Sissie ASTA.
Please give Auntie Mommi and our Daddi a big hug and special ASTA-delivered smoochie from us. And remind her: one minute in the microwave should make that healing pillow last 30 minutes.
Your BruvverJake and SissieFergi
Pee esS. If you'd like to copy and paste this comment and send it to Moma, please do! Maybe she'll listen to YOU!
We think your tree is just beautiful. Also, if you give your momma lots of sugars she will feel better. I know it works on mine!
Hi, Asta!
Please give your mom kisses and hugs from us! I wish I could to something to cheer her up!
I like your tree! It does not have ornaments but sure is bright and beautiful!
Take care
Kisses and hugs

Miss Asta! I wish I could come to visit your mommi. My smoochie kisses are known to cheer up almost anybody. We know all about the great sadness that comes and goes around here because both momma and master get it and there is not much I can do about it.
Your tree looks warm and happy making just the way it is.

We like the tree with just lights. Very pretty. We hope your mommy feels better soon
ah ...hi asta.. the tree?! it's looking like it may be decorated sweetie.. uh it's got some serious light stuff going on <---very pretty, our humomm likes the lights on the tree..she makes us keep it like that until just before christmas and then we all have a trim the tree pawty. so 1/2 the time is just lights and the other 1/2 is everything...lots of glass stuff, anyhow...if the rain doesn't go away soon i'll be depressed too. we need some nice sunshine or even no rain would be nice... even nicer if we have snow!!! we do like snow.... my auntie sez doggie feet smell like fritoes...hmmmmmpopcorn and corn chips sounds like a theme.
hope things start to move in the right didrection for yous guys in n.y.c.
your friends,
theBUSTER, Ms.Persephone & Ms.Blue
Asta, please give your mom some extra snooter kisses from us. It has been a tough year for so many of us and now the weather is yucky. Put some pretty Christmas music on, not the depressing ones, but some really nice ones. That should help cheer her up. We hope she feels better soon.
We are off to visit Sunny, Scooter, and Seamus now.
Woos, Phantom and Thunder
hi Asta, we're sorry that your mom is depressed. we have to tell you that your tree is more beautiful than ours - we don't have one! our mom got one string of lights and that's not enough for even the tree outside. geesh! sometimes humans are worthless. we hope your mom cheers up in time for christmas. you need some pressies!
woofs
Well you could come hear and listen to PL1+2 say "ARCHIE don't lick your foot" all day long.That is a barrel of fun.And everyone is sleep walking because he is up all night....Then he sleeps all day and we 3 go crazy.There did that make you feel better?? Love A+A PS We think the tree is really pretty now!!! But of course we don't know much in this area!!!!
Hi Asta. We hope you can pull your Mommi out of her funk really soon. It's been raining all the time here too, and mom says its been a rough year all around the bloggie-shpere. Maybe next year will be better!
your pal, Morgan
Asta, we're sorry your mom is depressed. A lot of dogs and cats, including us, can empathize cause their moms go through it at times too. Hang in there with her. Give her some extra cuddles.
We love you, your mom & dad. Purrs, tail wags & {{{hugs}}}.
Asta!
You are PAWESOME, thank you so much for mentioning my painting in your blog!
I just read your comment on my post, it is so nice of you to be wanting to help! But since the price of the painting is already above your human's limit, and you asked if there was different way you could send some money to help... That's such a generous thought!! But I was thinking, instead of sending it to us, maybe you could donate that money a local shelter near you? I think it would be awesome if we could all donate money to as many shelters as we can to help more animals!
Oh Asta, I do hope you and your human don't get too depressed, it's the wrong time of year for depression! Listen, we just got our first snowfall today this year... I'm going to see if I can send some to you, to help cheer you guys up!
I hope you have a GRRRReat week ahead!
Sparky
Hi Asta,
I have been following your blog early this year, but I was too shy to introduce myself. Today I was notified that someone made a donation for my wheelies- I knew it was you. So I am taking this opportunity to thank you and introduce myself. I would really love to be your friend.
We went to Sunny Scooter's blog and will do what his mom is requesting. It made us teary eyed to read her post. So much love of a mother for his son.
Again, thank you very much Sweet Asta!
oh, i forgot, its me Scarlet :)
I love your tree just the way it is. I think the candles really make it special.
I guess we are in the same boat as far as mom depression goes. The holidays can have lots of ups and downs, I guess. In the end it will all be fine. Hang in there, sweet sissy. You can come over anytime and I will try to cheer you up with some zoomies.
Luv,
Duffy
Dear Asta's mommy: this is the time of year when lots of hoomans get sad, especially if it's raining day in and day out - it feels like all you want to do is stay in and... well... stay IN!!! And I also think your tree looks very happy with all the twinkling lights. Just talked to my mom and sister who live in Manhattan - we know what the weather's been like and the mood. Hang in there Asta and mommy and things will get better. We're going over to those blogs you mentioned right now.
Big Huggers from us all here xo
Sammie
We soooooo understand....
Hugz&Khysses,
Khywa
We are sorry you and your Mommi are depressed Asta. Maybe if you snuggle with her a lot it will help you both. Your tree looks very nice with just lights ~ it will be just gorgeous when it is all decorated.
Hi Asta,
Sigh... our household is pretty depressing too cos mom says it's another Christmas without Lucas and the first Christmas without Chloe. :(
Your tree looks really nice and what'd complete it is if you sat under it for a pic cos your smiling face will be brighter than all those Christmas lights!
XOXO,
Huskee
Oh, Asta, your tree is boo-tee-full! just like you n yer Momi. Ours is nekked. No lights, 2 ornaments that some of her girlie friends gave her Saturday. She says she's not depressed, just overworked and stressed. And the Mr. can't go up in the attic to get stuff and the idiot Marine stumbled around up there and saw 'something' dark n skittering around and vamoosed. She just bought some lights today...says they'll either get on or not and it's the thought that counts. Thanks for the links to the other bloggies, yer heart is always full of love and compassion for others...and who needs a tree when you already got the Christmas spirit in yer heart. Well, some of the guys might 'need' a tree, but more on that later. Puffy is in the dog house is all I'm gonna say about that right now.
We will be sending warm wishes to yer Momi so she feels better soon.
Or maybe a bottle of single malt, that makes everyone feel better!

Oh Asta, je suis désolée pour ta Mami. Dis-lui que la magie de Noël viendra si elle écoute son coeur. Véronique aussi elle n'aime pas beaucoup Noël. Elle dit que trop de personnes lui manque en cette période. Mais ceux qui sont encore là on besoin de nous alors hop hop .... on bouge pour Noël !
Bisous, Faya
We hope your mommi sits in front of the twinkling lights on the Christmas tree and gets more in the spirit of things, Asta! Our paws will be crossed that she does!
Love ya lots
Maggie and Mitch
Hey there, Asta
Please tell your mommy; "Consider yourself hugged!". We think the tree looks gorgeous!!!
Now here's a thing...it can't be THAT depressing because the piano is open and the music waiting!...tell her to tinkle the ivories - it always helps.

Hi Asta! You look so cute in your Christmas pjs. Don't get too depressed - we haven't seen anything but rain since we arrived here from Australia, but we're really really enjoying that it's actually cold for Christmas - makes it all the more magical and cozy inside, with fires, Christmas lights and yummy things to eat! Sure it's nice to have the harbour and the beaches and the sun, but for Christmas, there's nothing like this! (even if it is rain!)
puppy love from Orable for Charlie's DogBlog
We know a few smoochy's from you will brighten Mommi's day. And a little snow wouldn't hurt either.
Sending Scottie and Labbie love your way.
XOXO

I'm sorry your Ma is sad sometimes. Tell her she is so loved ...that's a good thing!
The holiday season makes us self-reflective coupled with the lack of sunshine and makes us feel sad. But this too shall pass :0)
I really loved Sparky's painting and Ma is thinking about placing a bid. We don't have anywhere to put it if we win cuz we have art covering all the walls ..it's crazy!!
Ma says taking me out for long walks always make her feel better when she's feeling low. We both hope you and yours enjoy the rest of the holiday.
We love you!!

Autumn and Ma
Asta, we hope you are feeling better by now and we hope your mommi gets over her depression soon. We already sent our card to Sunny and Scooter's unkle! Well, it's in our mailbox waiting on the mailman.
Aire-hugs,
Poppy, Penny & Patches
Asta, I'm sorry you and your mom are feeling a little blue! I hope you are both cheerful orange again soon! {{hugs}}
Sorry your mom is sad! Yes, this time of year can kinda be depressing. :( Hope things look brighter soon.
And you're right--Sparky's painting is pawsome!
Aw Asta I'm sorry yor Ma is feelin down. Mine gets like that too. I find givin hed hugs helps. Cups ov tea and sum cayke, too, they like that. An helpin to keep them warm wen theyer in bed. Just mayke her feel cosy an safe, reelly.
I am rytin my Crismoss cards this week. I am layte cos I've been carfterin Granny. Do I hav yor address? I don't remember! If not pleez send me yor snaylemail an I will send yu a speshol card, an I'll arsk if Mummy can put sumthin in to help cheer yor ma.
My emayle is skutter8@hotmail.com
Nose hugs!!!!
We hope your Mommi feels better soon. We are sending her lots of happy vibes. Now off to the Texas Sun Dogs' place.
I'm sorry your mommi is feeling so sad! Please give her a big hug and some slobbery kisses from me. It's been raining here, too, and I am so tired of having to stay inside all the time!
Love,
Hollie
Beautiful tree! Smooches to mom all the time, ok Asta?
Hugs and snaggle-tooth kisses,
Sierra Rose
Dis time of year is hard on da beans, speshully da mom ones. Maybe some extra kisses would help...
Dear Asta and Mummy!
Please tell you Mummy Asta, this is a bad time of year for feeling blue.
My Jeannie used to get very depressed around this time, she blames it on the darkness, and the gloom!
One year it was so bad, she bought a SAD Lamp, which gives a natural sun light ......it worked a treat.
Google it, my J says, and give one a try. It does help, and it is not addictive or anything.
I am sure your tree will look fine soon, we don't have a proper tree this year, but a fibre optic silver one, which is very pretty, and my J says is very good because it is already decorated.
Hope your Mama feels better real soon.
And the sun shines again for her.
It will, just be patient.
lotsaluv, Marvin xxxxxxxxx
oh and Jeannie xxxxxxxx
Oh my sweet dear Asta and mommie, I am sorry you two are down and out at the moment. Please buck up. I think it is hard around the holidy time not to feel sad at times. We always remember those we love that might not be here with us but know that they are close to you in your hearts and near in your thoughts. The cloudy grey weather doesn't help either. Maybe you two need to get on the warm clothes and walk around NYC and check out all of the beautiful decorations and maybe that will cheer you up. I will check out your friend's place to see what is up there.
Asta Sweet Pea please give Mommy some special love and kisses from us all. Mom says she so understands.
Meantime I'll tell you about our new tree to make you giggle. We have a new spiky BLACK christmas tree - can you blogging believe it? Can't have pine cos that's one of my itchy scratchy trees. So Daddy Square says once Christmas is finished the new tree iwill be perfect to use as a brush for cleaning the bog...haaaaa!!!!
You tree looks very pretty in comparison to mine. Stick one of the mini you and me's on the top and it'll be perfect :)
Squillions of wiry loves and kisses Eric xxxxxxx
HI Asta
Hope your Mom is feeling much better soon.
love and woofs

Hi Sweet Asta,
Actually, we like your tree. Mommy always says less is more. We have no idea what that means? Silly mommy.
Our mommy always cries on Christmas Eve whether she needs to or not. It's always been a Christmas tradition with her. We think it's the eggnog!
Luv,
Riley and Star.
I hope you're feeling better now...
~ Bae
Asta darling....we think the lights on your tree are enough! Really! Wishing you the blessings of the season from the cozy cottage to your little beautiful haven. Thank you for all the beautiful glimpses I have had through the windows of your world this year...I pop by often and today I wanted you to know that! Misses Peach reminds you that "Happiness is quality not quantity" so enjoy the true meaning of Christmas and not what the world expects! So furry chin up and go kiss mommy. All will be well once again...knowing you are so beloved by so many.
Oh Asta honey! Your tree is beautiful just the way it is. Sorry to hear your mommy is having the oogies. If I lived closer I'd come right over and give her some big, sloppy Boxerkissies that make everyone giggle.
Don't worry - this oogietime will pass and you'll all have a lovely Christmas together. Just cuddle in close with your mommy and remind her how much she is loved!

Hi Asta
I know all about this getting depressed at Christmas stuff - Gail suffers from it too. So far my blog is a totally Christmas free zone this year, so do pop over and visit if it's all getting too much!
Cheers, H.
Hope your mom is feeling better. My pawrents don't even decorate if no one is visiting. They are really lazy. They just snowboard a lot! Your tree looks really pretty and I want one.
I prefer the tree that way! :)
I'm sorry your mum is so depressed Asta. Maybe she should eat some chocolate. That always seems to cheer my mum up!
Sweetpea O' Mine!
I'll be peemailing you directly, but need to send even more extra strong and comforting goober smooches to you and your mommi! Remind her that I love her and that she's my special Hungarian slice of Heaven!
You, Astaroni, are my sunshine, even when it's raining. I hope you will dream of my big juicy snout nuzzling you in the cold night and it will make you smile.
Goober love,
Your Stanley
Asta sissy!! We've missed you so much. Thank you for your lovely message!!
Ahhhh... Your mom is depressed... We know humans are always busy and something is always going on in mind BUT she's got you! :) The sweetest gift in the world along with your late sibs. :) We hope she'll feel much better soon.
It's fun to see the nite with square dogs mom. What a great get-together!!!
Momo & Pinot
Dear Kousin Asta,
Although the Holidays are fun, they can also be very hard on people. (Grandpa is going through something similar.) The only thing that you can do though is to try to stay focused on today, and not dwell on the past or on the things that upset you. Try to think about this Christmas only, today, just now, just today, and enjoy each other's company and love.
You've got the right idea, kousin Asta. If all else fails, take a nap.
Your tree looks great just the way it is! My mom would not do another thing to it. It's already beautiful!!
And so are you, your Mommi Ami, and Daddi George!
Love ya!!
Lots of Koobuss Kisses for Everybody!
Kousin Koobie
Asta! we really like your tree!
We went to Sparky blog earlier! We thoughts Sparky's artwork is awesome!

We like your header picture Asta. You are so cute!! Your Dear SantaPaws list looks kinda short. Can't decide what to ask for?? By the way your tree is bigger than ours and has more lights. Our Mom is not doing much decorating either. What's with that???? Maybe we need more sunshine.

Sorry to hear your Mom's feeling down lately -- last year our Mom wasn't doing well; her job was so stressful and it ruined the holiday for her. She's better this year so we have decorations now. I sure hope your Mom feels better, if not now, very soon!
Love,
Rudy
Geez Asta....at least ya have a tree....there's none around here cause we leave fer Florida the day after Christmas.....I'm leavin' Santa Paws a long note so he knows where ta leave my gifts.....Gram 'n Pap don't deserve any fer bein' so Scrooge-like...
