puggie sleepover

Dear Mommies,
Murphy let me use his blog so I could tell you about all the fun I’m having. Murphy’s mommy is so nice to me and so is his grandma, grandpa and auntie. I got a new toy already - it’s a crocheted rat. I love it so much, I was skipping around the house with it in my mouth. Murphy is very good about sharing his toys. He likes to share my toys, too, especially my piggy. I’m being a very good boy.

Today, Murphy’s mommy is taking the afternoon off from work so that we can all go to the park with his auntie. I can’t wait! And guess what?? Tomorrow we’re going to this thing called a pug meet where there are a bunch of other dogs like me! I can’t wait. I promise to get plenty of pictures taken and you can see some below. I miss you and love you. Don’t worry, I’m having lots of fun so you can enjoy your trip!
Love, Seamus

My new rat!

Playing with Murphy

Ok, I did get into some trouble, but I love the taste of shoes!

I took a nap between playing on the couch.

A tortured pug

Mommy brought me to PetsMart yesterday to get my nails cut. I tried to bite the groomer. They got all my nails dremeled but one. I’m counting this as a small victory. And to add insult to injury, they cleaned my ears, too. And Mommy had the gaul to take pictures!!! I’m packing my bags. Amanda, I’m staying with you indefinitely when we visit.

Mom stole my cheese

Mommy bought be some great cheese for our class. This morning she took it out of the fridge and put a stick in her lunchbox. She said it was for her salad. RUDE! We have class tonight. There better be some in there for me or I will embarrass her in front of the whole class.

In other news, check out the new links at the left. Read the pug blogs and buy the pug stuff. OBEY THE PUG! All the cool puppies are doing it.

North Shore Pugs

My friends Buddy and Brutus have a new blog site. I think you should go check out it cause I really like these guys.

I got to hang out with them and my friend Reggie a few weeks ago. Mom said when I’m feeling better, we can go see them again. Reggie said he’s getting a new pad. He’s gonna have to pack his toys. I’ll have to get him a house warming present. I better go count my allowance.

I’m ready for my close up

Mommy said this is one of her favorite pictures of me. We were over her friend Val’s house and Val was shooting a bunch of pictures of me. This is one of the results. I think I was trying to get away from the camera. The paparazzi was nuts that day. Ah, to be an admired pug.

Auntie spoils me

Mommy, Grandma and Auntie thought I was snoozing. But I had one ear out. I heard Auntie say she got me a new leash - a BOSTON RED SOX leash! I’m so excited. Auntie told Mommy when it comes, she’s going to take me to PetsMart for a new harness to match. I am the luckiest pug. (Mommy also mentioned something about getting my nails cut on the same trip, but I’ll have to talk Auntie out of that one.)

Mommy said it’s spring training now and the real season will start before we know it. I can’t wait to see my hero, Big Papi. I’m glad he wasn’t traded because he’s my favorite.

My new friend Seamus

Mom and I visited a new friend this weekend. He’s coming to our house on March 30 for a sleepover while his mommies are on vacation. I can’t wait! We played a while and I got a new treat with my name on it. Seamus ate my treat so I got to take his home. I’m so excited about my new Irish pug friend!

Oh, and here’s a picture of me with my new leash from my sweetheart, Petunia.

Sunday fun

Mommy and I had a full day today. First we went to visit a new pug friend, Seamus. Seamus is only seven months old, but I was able to put the little pug in his place. Mom says he’s going to stay with us for a few days while his mommys go on a trip.

Then we stopped by her friend Val’s house. Val’s niece and nephew were there. Her niece was so happy that I was there. She cuddled me and rubbed my tummy. She’s a nice girl.

After, we went to the pet store to get my some Frontline. Mom said she’s starting early this year. It was a good day.

I’ll post pictures of Seamus later, but here’s my new fan:

Mommy’s gone too far

St. Patrick’s Day always makes her a little nutty. Look at what she’s done to me:

Zoe’s mom tortures her, too:

That’s more like it, Mom. HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY EVERYONE!

Why Mom Rescues…

Mom asked him to post this on my blog. I help her out a lot with her rescue work. I’m glad we get to help so many pugs in need.

I Rescue Because

I rescue because…

He can’t tell you he deserves better
And if he could… he wouldn’t.
He loves you despite all the reasons
you gave him not to.

I rescue because…
She doesn’t have a voice to ask for basic needs
like food, medical care, and love.
For her, your best is good enough
even when it isn’t.

I rescue because…
Dogs know when they’ve been saved
{when they sleep in a warm house on a soft blanket
when they have laps to snuggle into
when their limping gets immediate and thorough attention}
They pay back ten-fold with devotion never wavering
and eyes truer than the sky is blue.

I rescue because…
A dog is a better human than I am
{even though dogs are not human}
because they love without expectation of return,
accept others readily
live in the moment,
and behave genuinely in all circles.

I rescue because…
I am a better human when I’m with dogs
and the people I’ve met through rescue
are the best humans I’ve ever known.

First Day of School

Mom and I had class last night. It was ok. I don’t think I’m the smartest boy in the class. There was another pug in our class named Piglet. He was bragging that he was only 11 months old and had his CGC already. He made me feel bad. But then his mom was mean to him and yelled at him for not sitting or leaving it. Mom wasn’t like that with me. I got spooked at the floor and I didn’t do what I was supposed to. But Mom said it was ok, we’d get it next time and she’s buy better treats.

At the end of class, while we were listening to the teacher I told her I wanted up. So she scooped me up. She kissed my ear and said I was a good boy. On the way home she told me not to worry, that I’d get it. She’s so nice to me. I even got one of Aunt Beth’s cookies last night, because she said I did my best and that was all she could ask for.

I’ll do better next time and make her even prouder.

Back to school

Auntie told me that Mommy’s bringing me to a class tonight. It’s called “Come When Called.” I’m really nervous. I hope I like my teacher. And I hope I make some friends. I always get nervous on the first day of school. I pooped in front of the whole class last time we took class. I was so embarrassed.

Maybe I should bring the teacher a flossie to kiss up to her. Then I can be the star student!

St. Patty’s Day

I had a new leash for St. Patty’s Day. It broke at the parade. But mom says not to fear, because my love, Petunia is sending me a new one! Talk about the luck of the Irish! I’m so happy. I’m doing my happy pug dance. Here’s a preview Petunia.

My new Web site

I got my own URL now. I’m the coolest pug I know!  Mom bought it on Friday and Mike and Paul helped her get it working. And Aunt Beth made me new cookies while Mom was there. Mom claimed that she helped but I know that Aunt Beth did all the work. They are so good Aunt Beth. Mom said you gave her the recipe. YIPEE!!

Murphy O’Pug

Mom’s coworkers don’t think I’m really Irish. They say I’m Chrirish - half Chinese and half Irish.

I am Irish and my name is Murphy O’Pug.
