We'll post more pictures of "Birthday Week" and all the cool stuff that Daddy, Holden, Will, Lizz and I spoiled her with, but here are a few quick pics that daddy took tonight of the imprompteau party she had!

Photobucket
I hope she's happy...I wore the farkakte hat!


Heather and Pugsley from "Say It, Don't Spray It!" came over with a PRESENT for mom that she LOVES!

A puggy cookie cutter!!! Mom is going to have a BLAST making little "me" cookies! THANK YOU Heather and Pugsley!!!!

Mom is using the final minutes of her "Birthday Immunity" (as daddy says) to post this McDonalds commercial that has been making her laugh for the last 3 days straight. She can't stop singing it!!!!!

We're all tolerating her playing it and laughing like a loon only because it's her birthday...but once the clock strikes midnight...this video officially becomes STOOOOPID and she will be ridiculed for singing it!!!!


Mommy wants to say THANK YOU to all of her friends in bloggerland that sent along birthday wishes today! She feels very loved and has been all smiley all day! Thanks everyone!!!

MORE Meijer Ad fun and 'Pimp My Crate'

You won't believe THIS! Does everyone remember the post we did about the poor PUG in the jail cell in the Meijer ad a few weeks ago? CLICK HERE to see it....go ahead...we'll wait while you refresh your memory.

(Hold Muzak playing.....)

OK....it's terrible...right?

WELL....LOOK at what those clowns featured in THIS week's ad!
Photobucket


DO YOU SEE THIS????
Photobucket
That little white dustmop is in the cage with the door OPEN! What did HE do to deserve to be "sprung"???? Is he in cahoots with that shady looking CAT on the outside????

WELL...it's still a terrible ad because of the bleakness of the crate, so mom went nuts and decided to follow your suggestions and "PIMP MY CRATE"!!!

Look at this...
Photobucket
Fuzzy dice!


I wasn't digging them...I think daddy won them at the State Fair or something...
Photobucket


Photobucket
WHY did you hang those stupid dice up, Mom? They make my crate smell like CARNIES and FUNNEL CAKES!


Good thing she took them down right after that picture was taken. I was NOT amused!

SO...mom is NOT ambitious enough to have a contest where people send her submissions and all of that, but she will throw that out as a cool theme for those days when Blogger Writers Block hits....PIMP DAT CRATE!!!!
Photobucket
Let's see what you've got!!!


Happy Thursday!

We expect great things from all of you! Good luck!

Happy Mardi Gras!!!!

Bonjour everyone!!!!

I, Salinger The Pug want to wish each of you a very happy happy Mardi Gras!

In honor of the big day, mom was nice enough to let me stick my head in an almost empty can of her favorite Cafe Du Monde coffee from N'awlins
Photobucket
"Mmmm....can we get some beignets over here????"


She let me play with her voodoo doll
Photobucket
"Heh heh heh....WHO'S gonna get it today???"


I won't even TELL you the degrading things I had to do for these beads...
Photobucket
"Oh no...if the crew from Pugs Gone Wild shows up, I'm in trouble!"


Mom also wants to pass along a BIG "HAPPY PACZKI DAY" to all of her friends and family from the Detroit area! For those of you up there....have a prune paczki for her...they're her favorite!!!!
Photobucket
YUMMY!

Happy Birthday Vikki!

Mommy and Daddy took me to a birthday party for Vikki (from Pug Posse) last night! The humans had a LOT of fun, but I was more comfortable watching the puggy antics from mom's lap!

First off...HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIKKI!
Photobucket
Here's mom on the left with Birthday Girl Vikki in red.


Mom made Vikki one of her famous "Are You Freakin' Kidding Me?" chocolate cakes (Holden named it because that's what he yelled when he tasted it after mom made it for the first time!)
Photobucket
Figures...chocolate is Puggy poison, so I didn't get any! :-(


There were TWELVE PUGS total at this party (Bernice, Ernie, Eli, Eddie, Pippin, Jasmine, Gus, Lilo, Harley, DixieBugg, Sophie and ME)! Mom couldn't get a picture of all of us together, but she did get quite a few of me looking traumatized!
Photobucket
I'm saying "HOLY CRAP! Look at ALL these Pugs!!!"


Mom THINKS this is Eddie and Lilo...
Photobucket


Mommy was hugging all over Gus...
Photobucket


Ok...can we go home now???
Photobucket


Daddy snuggled Harley...
Photobucket


And Mom snuggled Pippin...
Photobucket


While I hid under the table still traumatized and pleading to go back home where I can be an ONLY PUG again!
Photobucket


Mom told me to LIGHTEN UP and quit being a weenie...I decided to try and have some fun of my own at the party.......
Mom and Kelly fed me a cocktail weenie! (since that's what I was being!)
Photobucket
YUMMY!


Then Mr. Dennis gave out free butt scratches....
Photobucket


I helped judge a "twin contest" between Sophie and Bernice!
Photobucket


And also got to be the judge in a drinking contest......it was between...
SOPHIE the "Wineaux"
Photobucket

And BERNICE who was helping Daddy and Jessica chug down Diet Rite...
Photobucket


I have no idea who won because then it was time for Vikki to blow out her birthday candle and eat some cake!
Photobucket


Thanks for a great time and lots of laughs last night everyone!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIKKI! Remember...you can freeze the cake!!!!!

Hump Day surprises!

Happy Hump Day everyone!!!

I had two BIG surprises today!

FIRST...Holden's buddy Seth (who is also Maggie's brother!) got off the bus with Holden this afternoon and stayed at our house to play! WHOOHOO! I got lots of attention and then the boys built a GINORMOUS blanket fort in the living room!
Photobucket
HEY...where's the Puggy door????


The boys let me get inside with them too! It was so nice and cozy!
Photobucket
PERFECT place to be on a rainy Wednesday afternoon!


Janie the Mail lady also brought a SURPRISE package to us...from ARIZONA!
Photobucket
Mimi and Pa mailed us a HUGE BOX OF CITRUS FRUIT!!!! The lemons are from their tree in their backyard and the oranges, grapefruit and Mexican limes are from their friends trees! HOW COOL!!!


The fruit smells SO yummy!
Photobucket
Daddy likes the lemons in his Diet Coke! Mom will eat the grapefruit and we'll all have to share the oranges. Mom said she would juice the little limes and make Holden a nice alcohol free margarita with salt! Mmmmmm! Even the lemon leaves smell wonderful! Mom has the box here in the office with her so it can "smell like vacation" while she's typing!


Mimi and Pa also sent a treat for ME in the package!
Photobucket
I can't wait to try these! It says they're good for my teeth! It's GOT to be better than that farkakte toothbrush and beef toothpaste mom is always chasing me around with!


THANK YOU SO MUCH MIMI AND PA!!!!!!!!
Photobucket
We all LOVED our surprise!!!


Have a good Hump Day Night everyone!!!!!

Valentine's Day wrap-up

Hi everyone!

It sounds like everyone had a nice Valentine's Day full of love, romance and treats!

Mom went to Michigan to visit Great Grandpa Conrad! He's been a bit under the weather lately and mom wanted to take him his favorite cake for Valentine's Day!
Photobucket
Great Grandpa asked mom to help comb his hair, so she gave him a "faux-hawk"! HAHAHAA! Don't worry...she combed it down nicely after this picture!
The hospital said "NO PUGS" so mom left me home with Daddy, Holden and Will (Lizz was working and busy). Mom thought she might put a vest on me and tell them I was a therapy dog, but Grandpa says that dogs belong on farms and probably wouldn't kiss me anyway. Too bad...he's totally missing out!

Mommy DID come back though and then we had a belated Valentine's day celebration with my BPF (Best Pug Friend) PUGSLEY!
Photobucket
Yeah, we know...he had a big hot dessert date with PEARL for V-day......
BUT.......
Photobucket
Looks like my BPF might have hung his jacket back up "in the closet"!

ANYWAY.....

Pugsley brought me a big COOKIE that tastes really yummy!
Photobucket

I gave him a stuffed hedgehog.
Photobucket
His name is Ron!

We caught up and chatted for a bit...
Photobucket


We laughed at some jokes......
Photobucket


Got buttscratches....
Photobucket


And hugs.......
Photobucket


Then Pugsley went all "boneless" on the kitchen floor...
Photobucket
Which means it was time to go........

Thanks for the cookie buddy! I love you man!!! Happy Valentine's Day!

We are happy to report that Great Grandpa is feeling better too! He is out of the hospital now, which is GREAT news! He's an avid reader of my blog so we're sending him a big shout out with lots of love and slurpy kisses!!!!

Video documentation of weirdness

Ok, we aren't sure what this was all about, but S-Dog was being WEEEEEEEERID the other night! Normally he eats his dinner without incident, but the other night he ate a bit and then just stood there acting like he'd seen a ghost!

Observe...........



Here's part 2...he was being very vocal and PATHETIC! What gives?



So we thought moving the bowl down from his little "table" was the issue...until THIS......



He was back to normal the next day, so we're going with the Michael Phelps theory that I asked about in the video.
Photobucket

Weird, I tell you...just weird.
