Happy Birthday Daddy!!!!

Today is DADDY'S 47th BIRTHDAY!!!! Daddy's birthday is one of my most favorite holidays because he usually takes the day OFF from work to spend it with MEEEEEEE! I started his day off with THIS birthday greeting... CLICK HERE AND MAKE SURE YOUR SPEAKERS ARE ON!
(many people are surprised to hear that I speak with a British accent!)




After we had some atomic snuggling and tummy rubs, Mom and Dad went to THE DINER here in Pendleton for breakfast...

A birthday candle in his toast!!!!




I borrowed Mom's magic plastic card from her wallet and bought daddy the coolest birthday present EVER....

I THOUGHT I was ordering him an EYE PAD so we can play PIRATES together, but this farkakte box with a picture of an apple on it came instead. Dad screamed and yelled and seemed to really like it a LOT, so I just acted like that's what I meant for him to have.





Ok, back to some more birthday snuggling and cuppycake sharing...

NOM NOM NOM!



Please CLICK HERE for more of Daddy's birthday posts! There are some really good pics! . . . . HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!! You are the best daddy in the world and I'm SO glad that I picked you to be mine when I was a baby!

I LOVE YOU!

My new Auntie Melissy SWEATER VEST!

I got an early Christmas present!!!! ANOTHER Auntie Melissy ORIGINAL!!!!

A CADET SWEATER!!!!! THIS sweater is VERY special because it's modeled after Daddy's old Citadel Cadet uniform!

This is daddy waaaaay back in 1987 when he was graduating from The Citadel! Daddy's uniform has SHRUNK a LOT since his cadet days (hahaha) so we couldn't pose for a "twinsies" pic.... but here is a pic of us in front of his Citadel christmas tree!

The Citadel mascot is the BULLDOG, but we're going to let that slide since they also have smushy faces. I'm trying to get him to start a campaign to change the school mascot over to the Citadel PUG, but he's apparently too busy to start his letter writing. Auntie Melissy and Archie (R-Chee!) do such an amazing job with these comfy sweater vests! It's like a wearing a big hug that keeps nekkid pug tummies warm!!!!

SO cozy!!!!!! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!! CLICK HERE to go to Melissa's Pugnotes Etsy shop and order your very own yarn hug! They fit PERFECTLY and are nice and warm without interfering with "Pug Business" (if you follow me....) THANK YOU for making me such a perfect sweater Auntie Melissy!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

My appointment with the FatMan!

Mom took me for my annual appointment with the BigGuy today.

I told him I'd been a good boy all year and therefore expected the following....


1. Cashmere doggie bed for napping

This scratchy regular variety of COTTON cushions and pillows with sub-par thread count in my comfort collection are wreaking HAVOC on my tender PugButt!




2. The Judy Garland Box set

Only because she's FABULOUS!!!



3. Unlimited FULL Jif jars

NOT the farkakte EMPTY ones that mom occasionally tosses my way!



4. Cheese. Lots and lots of cheese.

Any kind except that stuff with the blue mold in it. Mom fed me a taste of that once and I'd rather eat lawn sausages.



5. My own vehicle WITH 24/7 on call driver to take me shopping and to McDonalds for McCheesyBurgers ANY time I want.

If I waited for MOM to take me every time I felt the need.....I'd NEVER get anywhere!


I think that about covers it. What are all of YOU asking Santa to bring you for Christmas????

Playing Catch-up

We are SO sorry that we've been AWOL for so long (17 days! Yeeks!) Dad got mom a new computer and she has been using a lot of bad words trying to figure out where all of her "stuff" is....PLUS....I've had a lot of lying around to do digesting all those yummy foodables from Thanksgiving...

Mmmmmm Tryptophan naps are the BEST!!!!


Some of you probably know alllll about our goofball family Thanksgiving Eve Jackassery...but CLICK HERE if you don't (we'll wait.....cue Jeopardy music....)

"Aw crap....AGAIN? SERIOUSLY???"


"Mom...go mail that farkakte thing to Bajas!"

"Ok...show's over...bring on the REAL Thanksgiving foodables!"


We had Maggie here for Thanksgiving (her family was traveling) and mom cooked us up all the gross parts that you find in a bag jammed up the turkey's butt!

Mmmmm....Thanksgiving Turkey ButtBag Nuggets are the BEST!!!! Nom nom nom!


Mom promises that she has a TON of new bloggie posts in the works. She found her pics on the new computer and promises to catch up with you all hopefully over the weekend!

Pug meets Crustacean

The other day, mom was cooking dinner and it was smelling up the WHOLE HOUSE! I came into the kitchen to see what she was making and she showed me THIS!

WTF????


This big red bug thing still had it's FACE attached!!!!!

QUIT LOOKIN' AT ME!!!!! SHE's the one that cooked you...NOT me!


That lobster dude wouldn't stop lookin' at me, so I fixed his little red wagon.....

NOM! NOMMMMMMM NOM NOM NOM!!!!!


Anyone else want to stare at me???

I didn't think so!

Dr. Salinger Is On Call!

Hello everyone. I've got my hands full taking care of my hooman brother again today.

Ugh....Holden is SIIIIICK!



He's been honking and making all kinds of goose noises and mom SWEARS she saw THIS happen last night.....

Ok, maybe not THAT bad. But he's all phlegmy and gross sounding. Mom is thinking about loading up the paint sprayer with hand sanitizer and Lysol and giving this place a good hosedown!



I got to go to the pharmacy yesterday with Mom to pick up his prescriptions to make him better and then spent the rest of the day on duty like THIS...

He's feeling a bit better today, but I'm going to make sure he gets LOTS of rest and fluids today while he's still home from school.

Take care of YOUR hoomans everyone!

No More Mr. Brown Eye??????

O M G! You aren't going to believe this!!!! My Auntie Peta filled mom in on something so hilarious this morning that she couldn't wait to share it with all of you.....
CLICK HERE
It seems this super awesome fellow PugMom (Hi Dusty!) interviewed the lady that developed something called REAR GEAR to cover up the "offensive" PUGANUS!!!

"No More Mr. Brown Eye"!!!!!!! LOLLLLLLLL!!!!


Now, Mom finds NOTHING wrong with my PugButt being exposed. In fact, you may remember that she did a whole tribute to my PugButt CLICK HERE to refresh your memory.

Now I ask you....Have you EVER seen a finer PugButt specimen??? I have a strict regimen of squats, thrusts, and various routines involving stretching and several massages daily to keep this booty in it's TOP physical form! No WAY would I dream of covering this up!


BUTT (hahaa...get it?)....HYPOTHETICALLY....if I were to wear a "Rear Gear" cover....we have some design ideas....






SO...what do you guys think? Fabulous fashion accessory OR offensive PugButt censorship????

Early SNOW!

Some of you probably read from some of our other Indy pals that we had some surprise early SNOW here last Thursday (Nov. 10).

YES...I SAID SNOW!!!!!!!

See for yourself!

It didn't stick or anything...it was back up in the 60's over the weekend.
Personally...I loved it. I love running around in the snow like a bulldozer while mom stands up on the deck being all shrilly and yelly about me suffering ailments varying from freezing my dingus off to giving myself a heart attack from the cold.

WHATever! I say BRING IT!

Happy Monday everyone!

Mmmmm....carbs!

Check this out...mom stopped to grab some bagels and this bagel store had DOGGIE BONE BAGELS!

Hmmmm...I've only had the hard crunchy doggie bagels...never a nice warm soft, chewy bagel! It smells yummy!


OHHHHHHHH MY! SOOOO delicious, chewy, yeasty goodness!!!!

Next time, I'm totally ordering mine with a nice schmear of cream cheese!!!!


Happy Saturday!

Case of the Crazies!

Mom cleaned out all the old pics and videos from her phone and found THIS from a few weeks ago!

Mom and Dad take me for a long walk almost every evening, and if there isn't anyone around up at the big park, they let me run loose and chase the @#$%& Geese (a.k.a. Crap Machines) into the lake!!!! I had just chased off a HUGE flock of them, leaving the park safe for all!

Happy Thursday!

More fun with MaggieDumplin'

We had my pal Maggie stay with us over the weekend! We did a LOT of playing, which meant a LOT of sleeping too! We slept in really late on Sunday morning and then had a wrestling match in the Big Cloud Bed. Mom grabbed her phone and recorded the foolishness!

Did you hear Maggie sounding like an Asthma-Hound Chihuahua???? Mom made us some yummy breakfast after this and then we went back to bed!

All that playing so early in the day can be EXHAUSTING!!!!

Hurry up with that chicken already!!!!

Hi everyone!
Some of you may know that Mom is a SUPERPLANNER (meaning she makes LISTS of her LISTS...it's ridonkulous). I saw that she has "CHICKEN" on the menu for dinner tonight!!!! MMMMM!

I don't care if it's only noon.....I'm going to park my PugButt right here at the table and WAIT. No way am I missing CHICKEN!!!!

Happy Monday!

Smiley Saturday

Hi everyone! It's SATURDAY! That means all my favorite S things....
Sleeping in, snuggles, snacks, shopping and SMILING!!!!

So HAPPYYYYYYYYY!!!!


Here's something else that will make you all smile....Mom's friend MIMI (not my grandma whose NICKNAME is Mimi...but an actual lady whose REAL name is Mimi) is a fellow crazy Pug Mama and has started her own bloggie too! She is SO SO SO FUNNY and guaranteed to crack you up! CLICK HERE TO VISIT HER BLOGGIE and show some love!!! Don't have a beverage nearby because you'll likely shoot it out of your nose laughing!

Happy Saturday!

Halloween 2011 is in the books!

Halloween is always one big crazy, insane Festival of Jackassery around here! Mom goes crazy, invites everyone in the zip code over for chili, and then there's trick or treating here in our neighborhood!

Here we are in our Halloween finery. Dad is the Joker, I'm a convict, Mom is supposed to be HOLDEN (hahaha) and Holden is dressed up as an old lady again (this time with huge boobs!)


I'm a convict because Mom makes me stay in the house behind THIS taped on the door!!!!

The peeps sit out in the driveway handing out candy and EVVVVERYONE points and laughs at me. Jerks.


Here's some of the crew that all gathered for Trick or Treating! Notice Tupac couldn't resist giving Holden's hooters a honk! HAHAHAAA!

Be sure to biggify....there are some FUNNY costumes here in this pic!!!


My buddy KEENAN the Sheltie came by dressed in THIS getup.......

"Maaaaan...they made you wear a BUTTERFLY outfit? They know you're a dude, right???"



A few nights before Halloween...Mom and Dad went to a Halloween party and dressed up like THESE people....

When they put those wigs on, my PugButt went INSANE and I growled and barked at them until they left for the party! WHO ARE THEY??? Do you recognize them? Did you see PULP FICTION?

No...they didn't dance in an actual Twist contest, and neither of them had any heroin, so they weren't as messed up as the Mia and Vince characters, but they still had fun!


I also found out on Halloween morning that my Sushi costume WON the Indianapolis Three Dog Bakery costume contest!!! (Thank you everyone who voted on Facebook!)

Mom took me up there to claim my prize and pose with this nice lady named Morgan (she gave me 2 cookies!)


I LOVE Three Dog Bakery, but Mom and I talked and both decided that we're donating the prize (A $50 gift card!) to Kentuckiana Pug Rescue to be raffled off or otherwise used to help the Puggies in the rescue that need it!

Ok, I did my part....can I take this farkakte sushi costume OFF and pack all this Halloween crap AWAY already?????

DumDum suckers quality control is SPOOKY!!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!! I'm helping mom get ready for our big neighborhood chili/trick or treating soiree tonight! First up....CANDY!

Wow...that's a LOT of nommables!


OH LOOK! Three suckers fell out of the bag with NO WRAPPERS!

What kind of quality control do those jacklegs over at the DumDum company have anyway??? Sheesh!!!


I better check to make sure there are no razor blades or rat poison in them!

Mmmmm.....nope....just strawberry! YUM!


Happy Pugoween everyone!!!! Enjoy the noms!

Lazy Pug Weekend BLUES!

HAHAHA....check it out....I got the BLUES!!!!!!!!!

PLAY IT, DADDY!!!!


Have a great weekend everyone!!!!

It's my kind of town!

**WARNING** this post is verrry long and has a crap-ton of pics, so you might want to get a snack and a beverage and find somewhere comfy to relax! Mom and Dad took me on a little ROAD TRIP....

Hmmmm...I wonder where we're going?????


Soon, I saw the familiar skyline of CHICAGO! We drove the car to THIS place and gave the keys to some man that worked there and said he would take care of it for us.

"The Drake"....hmmm....I like the sound of this place!


Wow...this is MY kind of place! The elevator even has a little SOFA in it! PERFECT!

It's a LONG RIDE up to the 8th floor....I must rest!


Check this out....ANOTHER resting spot when we got off the elevator!

Ahhhhhhhh....that was an exhausting ride up the elevator!


WOW! This is our room????

Overlooking Lakeshore Drive and Lake Michigan!!! SO pretty! There was even a dog beach right there, but it was FREEEEZING cold!


Instead of the beach, Mom and Dad took me SHOPPING on Michigan Avenue! Chicago is a very dog friendly city and mom asked Dr. Google which stores would allow me to shop. She was surprised to find out that there are a LOT of them!

Now THIS is more like it!!!!


Here is our first stop...Anthropologie

Mom got some vanilla perfume that makes her smell like a cupcake! MMMMM


THIS was my favorite store....BLOOMINGDALES!!!!!

THIS lady is BETTY from the hosiery department....she said I was the best looking customer she'd had all day, but she was sorry that they didn't have any Spanx in my size. HAHAHAA! As IF I'd cram my PugButt into a pair of Spanx!!!!! She also told me that she only dates on Sundays and Mondays and said I could come back anytime.


After we covered just about ALL of Michigan Ave, we went back to The Drake

I had a nice nap on their Big Cloud Bed and waited for dinner....


Dinner is served!!!!

Gino's East deep dish supreme with broken sausage (not the patty). NOM! Mom gave me her sausage and pizza bones (crust).


The next morning, after a NICE long sleep...Mom had her coffee in bed and I helped her and dad with the crossword puzzle.

I was also King of the 'Mote....I had to find a weather forecast that would tell us when it would stop RAINING in Chicago!


The rain didn't stop, so Mom dressed me in my rain slicker and we went out for breakfast....

SPRINKLES CUPCAKES!!!!!


If any of you watch CUPCAKE WARS on Food Network, you should know about Sprinkles! Candice Nelson is one of the judges on the show and Sprinkles is HER cupcake bakery!

They even have DOGGIE cupcakes! Mmmmm....vanilla!!!!
***Mom's note*** I tried the ginger lemon and I'm here to tell you that sometimes cupcakes ARE worth the $3.50 price tag. I have some experimenting to do here in my own kitchen!!!!


To work off the cupcakes, we walked all the way from Walton Ave. down and over to Navy Pier (map it....it's like 93923827278485 miles)

The SUN came out, but it was still COLD! Here are dad and I in front of Navy Pier.


As we walked around, LOOK what we found!!!!!

McD's of the Future???? WTF????


Nope....regular old McCheesyburgers! Nothing futuristic about this!

I had to hurry and nom kind of fast......
Because these GIANT TURKEYS WERE TRYING TO STEAL MY MCCHEESYBURGER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dad called them RATS WITH WINGS but mom said they were funny the way they move their necks when they walk.


After some shopping in the Pier shops, I had a therapy session with none other than BOB NEWHART!!!!

He didn't have much to say.


After some more shopping and a long walk back, we left to get back to Indy.

Bye bye Chicago! See you again SOON!
