Mommy went to Texas….

....and all I got was this stinking tee-shirt.

Mom, enough! Get it off!

I Did Not Steal The Cell Phone

Maxwell knocked the cell phone off the night stand and I was going to bring it to her. But I got distracted. I had to bark at the neighbors, leaving for work. I have no idea how the back came off. I’m innocent. Don’t I look innocent?

Mommy’s Side of the Story.

My puggy sleepover

My friend Seamus slept over on Friday night and we had a lot of fun. Here are a few pictures of me and my buddy.

Showing Seamus the ropes

My friend Seamus is sleeping over tonight. He and I have been playing nonstop. We just took a short break, and I decided to introduce him to a puggy delicacy.

I shared some of my cookie reserve that Auntie Beth made me two weeks ago. He gives them four paws up. He didn’t believe me when I insisted they were THE BEST. He’s a believer now. He bows down to Auntie Beth’s baking genius. He thinks I live the good life. Sure, Three Dog Bakery cookies are a treat, but homemade cookies from Auntie Beth can’t be beat. He’ll never doubt his friend again.

Chicken jerky breath

Hippie came to greet me last night when Mommy and I came in. She was about to give me the usual head-butt and she stopped quick. She said she smelled chicken jerky on my breath. She wanted to know if I had scammed any for her. I told her no, because I got it at the pet store for being a good boy when I had my nails cut. She didn’t believe me. She said she NEVER gets treats after her nail trimmings. She was mad at me for a bit, but then I gave her a kiss and we made up. But I suspect she’s still holding a grudge. Sisters!

Pug Abuse

Does anyone know the number for the ASPCA? I have been abused. I was taken to PetsMart tonight under false pretenses. I thought we were running in to get me a treat. WRONG. I got my nails cut! The lady was so mean to me. She kept telling me it was going to be all right. And the worst part is, Mommy helped her! She held me as the lady buzzed and clipped my nails. They are so short, you’d think they were amputated. And all I got for it was some chicken jerky. No fair!

I’m packing my bags now. This is an out rage! Ok, maybe I’ll wait to run away after Seamus sleeps over. But Saturday night, I’m out of here. Ok, maybe I’ll wait till after our Sunday walk in the park. But then I’m really outta here. Well, maybe I should wait till after Sunday dinner at Grandma’s. Oh heck, life’s not to bad here.

But I’m stiff miffed.

The cat made me do it!

Hippie got me in trouble today. She knocked the liver treats off the desk and ate them. I was just trying to pick them up! We both got blamed for chowing down.

Before we noticed Mommy was watching:

Oh, uh, hi Mom. I was just telling Hippie that we should tell you these fell off the desk. hee hee

Hippie! Don’t leave me to take the blame!

Mom, I’m innocent. That dog talked me into it. How can you resist his cute face. (gag me)

Darn! I missed the action!

I put myself in a time out Mommy. I’m sorry!

My friend Buddy

I borrowed this picture from PV. It’s been raining pugs and dogs in New England. My friend Buddy lives on the North Shore (MA) and it’s been even worse there. Look at what my poor friend has to put up with.

Mother’s Day

Yesterday was Mother’s Day. Mommy got up early to help get two puggies to a new foster home and then she had breakfast with grandma. She came home, took me on a walk and then we took a pug nap. I settled into her arms and sighed in her ear and soon we were both in dreamland. My mommy was so tired! Then we got up and did some cleaning. I helped her with sorting the laundry. She said that sorting the laundry didn’t mean spreading it all over the house. Well why not? You can’t blame a pug for trying to help. I have to earn my allowance somehow!

Then Grandma came and got me so Mommy could have peace while she vacuumed. I have to protect her and the kitties from the vacuum by attacking it. I guess she didn’t think she needed protection. I hung out at Grandma and Grandpa’s and then Mommy came over. I gave her a frame with my picture in it for Mother’s Day. She said she loved it. Then Auntie came home and I gave her lots of kisses.

Last night Mommy and I fell asleep while watching Survivor. We had a full day. I hope all the other pug mommies had a great Mother’s Day!

Mother’s Day

I hear that Mother’s Day is on Sunday. That means I have to be a good boy for Mommy and Grandma. Maybe I should get them a present. I spent my allowance on flossies. Hmmm.... maybe Mommy would like to borrow my baby for the day. It’s still got a lot of squeak in it. I wonder what I should do for Grandma. She always laughs when I steal her slipper. I think I’ll run around the house like a crazy pug and steal all her shoes. That should make her day. Ok, problem solved, back to my nap.

Should I mention that Mommy left me HOME today? Something about her not wanting to drag me out in the rain because I was being a baby about it. Hmph! I have sensitive paws. And the rain makes my fur frizzy. Ok, too much thinking and whining. Nap time.

More pictures from my weekend

I had a full weekend. First on Friday afternoon, Lizzy, who is now known at Harper, went to live with her new mommies:

Saturday I went to a pug meet and got to hang out with my friend Seamus:

On Sunday Mom and I took Brody (who stayed with us the night) up to Wellesley to see my first foster brother, Weezer and his brother Rebound:

I like hanging out with Weezer cause he makes me feel thinner. (hee hee):

But Brody is thinner than me so I didn’t get in the picture with him:

Then finally we got to go to Uncle Paul and Aunt Beth’s. Uncle Mike and Reggie were there. Me, Buddy and Reggie did a pug pile on Uncle Mike:

Brutus stayed out of it:

I like the hang out with the boys:

I’m a beach bum pug.

I had so much fun in Lynn with my friends. Look at me running on the beach. I had a blast! (Thanks for taking so many pictures of me Uncle Mike! And thanks Auntie Beth and Uncle Paul for being so nice to me. I love coming to your house. Especially for Auntie Beth’s cookies!)

My friends in MA

Mommy and I spent the day in Lynn, MA today. I got to play with my pug buddies Buddy, Reggie and Brutus. Mom took a video of Buddy and I playing. Check it out.

And be sure to check out Mommy’s blog for pictures from my first trip to the beach. I’m just too tired to post my own. It’s late and we just got back. I’m so tired. Uncle Mike posted pictures of us on his blog, too.

Look what I got!

I got a birthday present I got from Auntie Dayna in the mail yesterday. It’s a University of Georgia harness! Mom loves the dawgs (Grandma went there) and so now I can sport her favorite team. (Sorry Auntie Allie, we love UGA. Mommy calls me Uga when I do my snaggle tooth thing.)

That Auntie Dayna is so good to me! How do I look?

Close up:

This harnessm makes me so happy, I laugh:

It’s my birthday!

And I’m doing it up like a pug should. At lunch Auntie took me to the Three Dog Bakery and Mommy met us there. It was raining so hard today, but Jen, at the bakery dried me off and gave me extra treats. I’m having a great day so far!
This is Jen.

Look at all the treats.

Licking my chops in anticipation.
