Astrid, the party girl


Astrid loves a good party. From PetSmart grand openings to Petco's Halloween parties, we try to take in as many as possible. One of her first was a fashion show where she wore nothing but a necklace. No high priced outfits for her! She strolled the runway self confident that her good looks would carry her through. We wish we had a recording of the emcee calling out "work it, Astrid, work it!" She walked out, twirled around once and sat when told. Of course, the prize went to one of the cuties wearing an expensive outfit bought at the Petco store, and well it should. We are there for the experience and for socialization.

Socialization. That's the very reason we attended this year's Petco Halloween party. Astrid's costume was a bunch of cotton balls stuck together and she went as...you guessed it, a bunny. It was fun to hear the store employees remember her entry in the costume contest last year when she wore only a big band-aid on her rear end. What was she? A pain in the butt, of course.

It's fun having Astrid. Without her social life, I probably wouldn't have much of one myself. I'm glad she turned out to be a party girl.
