Our circle of five became a circle of six when we added Asta to the passenger manifest.
He is a Maltese puppy purchases at the John Paul II Catholic School auction gala: "007–a time to Bond." So, it only seemed fitting we come up with a related name for him: Asta Martin.
Asta was the name of Nick and Nora’s dog from The Thin Man. Martin for 007’s DB-5 Aston-Martin. The 5 is a fit since he will now be my 5th baby.
Harry Truman once opined that, "if you want a friend…get a dog."
Meet our new friend.
