Trippin' to NYC

We had a hard time leaving our buddies in the 'Burgh! They made us feel like we were family, and I came to think of Scruff & BabyStan as the brothers I never had, and Lacie as the sissy I already do. (She looks so much like Stella I had a hard time calling her Lacie.)

I gave Lacie a little brotherly advice in the love department. She listened, and promised to seriously consider what I had to say.

She does such a lovely job taking care of Stan and Scruff... even while furthering her modeling career.

Before I knew it, it was time for one last whiz...

one last sniff (aren't these two of the most gorgeous muscle butts you've ever seen?)...





and one last good-bye to the girl in her lifeguard chair...

and I was back on the road through the wilds of Eastern Pennsylvania.

We were on our way to meet sweet Koobus!!

As soon as we arrived she and her mama and her sweet grandpa (her personal bully stick holder) told me to make myself at home. Here I am welcoming my girl into the house. They let me run all over to investigate and drink from the toilets while my girl had a fabulous lunch al fresco with Koobie's mama & grandpa.

I'm not like my sissy, Stella, so I had no way to tone down my gooberocity, but eventually Miss Koobie let me get a few good sniffs!

I told her I'd be as gentle as possible.

I admit, I violated her personal space a little more than she would have liked.

But in the end she came around. It's obvious from this photograph that she was hankering for a little whiff of this goober.

I spent the next two hours napping in the GoobMobile while we made our way to NYC and my Astaroni! Here is our first meeting on the street in front of her building. She's a VERY sassy girl.

While she showed me around her neighborhood I made sure we had time to investigate each other a little bit.

Okay. We investigated each other a LOT.

We went for a romantic walk along the river. Asta's an incredible tour guide, and pointed out all her favorite spots to me.

As you can see, my months of practicing for walks in the big city are paying off.

Life on the road has been fun, but can be a little hard on a goober. I was so wiped out that I crashed as soon as I got in the door. Asta had other plans. She looks all sedate in this photo...

but she could not resist the goober at rest, and kept crawling closer...

and closer...

until she couldn't stand it any more, and offered me the ultimate overture of love...

her polka dot tummy. WHO could resist that?!

I am already feeling SO at home here in New York, and it's not just because Asta's mommi is in love with me. (It's mutual, sweet Ami.)

We have so many things we want to do, and have been discussing our plans non-stop.

And of course, we're taking plenty of breaks for goob smoochin'!

Since my girl is camera CRAZY, you can bet you'll be seeing more photos of our adventures soon.

Goober love,

Stanley & Asta
