Bet You Can't Do This!

Now the whole world knows I have a freakishly long tongue - thank a bunch Mom! This picture was taken as my rolly polly chin was being petted, and I (obviously) was cleaning my own snout! I'm gonna hide that camera!

Pug Ripples

See me "swimming" in the water. Yeah, I know dogs can swim, but this is as far as I go! This is my private little beach at the park. I go in the water until in touches my belly - then get a big drink of water.

Mom took me here for 2 days in a row. She laughs because she doesn't have to coax me to walk down the steps that lead to outside when I know I'm going to the park - she lets go of the leash and I run down the stairs, and run to the car. I used to run to any car in our parking lot, but know I've learned which car gets me to where I want to go. I'm such a smart Pug!

Is It Dinner Time Yet?

"Hey lady, you gonna put something in this dish any time soon?"

Still hoping more Pugs will RSVP with "yes" to PugStock. I need friends. Maybe I can then begin to think less about food.

Today was just an ok day. My mom has been pre-occupied with a sick family member. I think she feels like she's not giving me enough attention (let her think it). But tomorrow she is taking me to the park to run and play first thing in the morning!!

Oh yeah, this morning when I was standing under a tree in the back yard, a big ole walnut just missed my head! Not a good time of the year to stand under walnut trees!

PugStock

I'm quite photogenic I'm told, and I have to agree. I kind of look human in this picture, don't you think? This must have been taken when I was in deep thought about something Mom said. She was talking about how the weather is getting cooler and cooler, and soon I will have to wear a sweater outside. She's not sure if she's going to buy a sweater at the store or make one for me. I've seen some of her knitted creations - I hope she chooses the store!

But I really wanted to let everyone know that on September 20th, I'm going to PugStock! I get to spend 4 hours playing with others who look just like me, and we won't have to wear leashes! I'm very excited about this! So far though only 3 other Pugs have RSVP'd, and I am so hoping to make lots of new friends. If you live near Rochester, New York, please try to attend PugStock. Read all about it at http://pugslife.org Hope to see you there!

Alone For 3.25 Hours Today

I don't know where Mom went (maybe to the park without me), but I was home alone for 3.25 hours today. I hate to be alone. When she finally got home, she gave me a treat (chicken flavored!) and took me for a long walk... I had no choice but to forgive her.

I heard Mom talking on the phone tonight something about a Pug Play Group. I don't know all the details, but I think it's something I could be interested in. I love to play with other dogs! Especially Pugs! I met a cute Pug at the drive-in theater 3 weeks ago. Her name was Rosie. It seemed that I liked Rosie more than she liked me; isn't that the way it goes though? Anyways, I'll give you all the details on "Pug Play" just as soon I learn them.

Dang... too short to order

Almost every day my mom and I walk past Dunkin' Donuts, but we've never stopped. Today no cars were at the drive-thru, so I was allowed to go inspect. The pictures of the sandwiches looked really yummy and I would have ordered one, had the speaker been a little lower - dang - couldn't quite reach it:( Don't feel sad for me though - I got a nice treat when we returned home. I'm so lucky that I got my treat, because just before we went on our walk, I almost got into the kitty litter, and I brought dirty socks from the bathroom to the livingroom. Mom kind of laughed about the socks but NOT the kitty litter. But when you are as adorable as I am, moms overlook many naughty things!
