In the mood for gelato

After reading about the heat wave that Faya was suffering through and reading about my friend Asta sharing her mommi's Nocciola gelato; I felt that it was time for Riley and I to get some refreshing gelato.  After all, it was a cloudy day and it looked like the skies were about to open up in a downpour - the perfect time for ice cream or gelato!  Come on mom!  Hurry up before it rains - you know I HATE to get my fur wet!

As we live in the Italian section of our city gelato is not too far away.  Here we are patiently waiting for our gelato.
I asked mom for "Nocciola" flavor like Asta had but they didn't have it.  Mom ended up getting me "hazelnut" because she thinks it is the same.  Oh, I just looked it up, Nocciola is the same as hazelnut, score! Here's a picture of Vinnie and our gelato.
Mom ended up getting "Straticella" or something like that.  It looked scrumptious but I wasn't allowed to try because it has dark chocolate in it - personally I think that mom was being a piggy about it!!

As it was starting to rain, mom decided to take our gelato back to our house and serve it up there.  What!??  I have to WAIT!!

(mom here)ummm...remember how you hate to get your fur wet, Toffee??  Oh, yes.

It was worth the wait
Here's Riley eating his portion.  He ate his so fast that he ate TWO portions in the time that it took me to eat my single portion!  Who is the pig now??

Ooops!  I got a little on my ear!

Even Kiwi the cat wanted in on the action...nope, sorry Kiwi no gelato for you!

(kiwi here) Huh!? Now who is the piggy!

Addendum:  I just read on Clover's blog about how she made Frosty paws!!!  Maybe I can get mom to make some for me!...and *sigh* brother Riley...
