Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there, whether you're the mom to a 2 legger, a 4 legger or BOTH! We hope you're enjoying this special "Hallmark holiday"!



Mom and I went to the Indy Pug Meetup yesterday (a post about THAT will come later!) so here's a pic that someone was nice enough to snap of Mom and I!

MOOOOOOOOM!!! My DINGUS is showing AGAIN!!!!!! Come ON!!!!!
Don't worry about my foot....mom just wrapped it in case it rained or I found a puddle in the park! I have to keep my staples DRY until they come out on Friday. I'm healing nicely!


Mom and I spent a good chunk of her Mother's Day in the yard planting flowers, the herb garden and some other new plants. It's kind of our annual tradition as long as it's not raining.

Dad called these new Petunias RED WINGS FLOWERS!!! They HAVE to win tonight to stay in the playoffs, so send them some good vibes tonight!!!


Mom is feeling particularly lazy and nappy today, so she's going to refer you all to the MOTHER'S DAY POST we did a while back. (CLICK THESE WORDS!)
We just talked to Mimi a few minutes ago and she's having a nice Mother's Day too! We wish ALL the moms out there the BEST DAY EVER. Load them up with kisses, snuggles and pug snooterings!!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mothers Day everyone out there....whether your kids have 2 legs or 4 legs!!! Normally mom thinks "Hallmark" days like this are silly...but LOOK what sweet Holden woke her up with this morning!

YUM...to the left we have a strawberry and banana Mueslix parfait with an "I Love You" sign on a toothpick. In the center we have soysage and cheesy scrambled eggs arranged into a smiley face. On the right we have cottage cheese and peaches. Not pictured is some hot mocha/coffee (on the nightstand).


HEY....don't forget me! I (Salinger) helped!!!



So Holden...how in the HECK is mom going to eat all of this herself???

We'd better help her!!!! Let's get to WORK!


Nom nom nom!

YUMMMM!


Good teamwork dude!!!



Boy...mom is SOOOO lucky to have both of us!!!!

Awwww!


Ok...all this cooking and eating is exhausting!!!! Time for a nap in the Big Cloud Bed!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!


*****Mom's note******

I also want to wish a very very very Happy Hallmark Holiday to my OWN mom (a.k.a. "Mimi)!

I love you so much and hope you have a great Mother's Day!!!! Do something FUN today!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day everyone! Salinger has so GENEROUSLY agreed to allow me (Laura) to be a "guest blogger" JUST for today in honor of Mother's Day!

I want to wish a BIG BIG BIG Happy Mother's Day (a.k.a. "Hallmark Holiday" :-) to MY mom in Arizona! You may know her as "Mimi" to Holden and Salinger.

Here's a group shot to keep everyone straight. Mimi, ME (Laura), Holden with Salinger. It's like a Family Tree chart!

I was so excited to find this picture because it would be of Mimi's FIRST Mother's Day! The date on the back of this pic is May 10, 1970 which was Mother's Day (according to Google anyway).

I'm pretty sure the tongue wasn't a sign of disrespect since I was only a little over 2 months old at the time. I think I was just trying to give her a "Pug kiss" for Mother's Day!


Fast forward 38-ish years and here's what you've got now!

Cheering at Holden's football game last fall...


Arizona visit a few weeks ago!
How the HECK does mom look almost exactly the same as she did in the 1970 picture? I sure hope I got some of those genes!!!!!

My mom celebrates "Double trouble" every Mother's Day because I share her with my younger brother, SCOTT. I love this pic that was taken of us in October when everyone came to Indiana to visit!

It has to be such a nice change of pace for mom to have us both as "grownups" now! No screaming, kicking, hitting, bickering or other general idiocy going on anymore.

"Mimi" got her name from Holden (who couldn't say "Grandma" when he was little, so the name stuck...

Holden wishes Mimi a Happy Mother's Day too!!!!

Mom is also "Mimi" to Salinger! She's never really been much of a dog person, UNTIL she met him. Check this out...this is the first time they ever met...

He snuggled right up in her lap! Awwww!

Thank you Mom for being the BEST mom in the world! You've taught me everything I know about how to be a good mom and person in general and that Karma will ALWAYS catch up to you....as evidenced by the 10 year old mouthy mess machine I've got on my hands now!!! My gift to you this year is all the laughs that you're sure to continue to have as I enjoy a few more years of "payback"!!!

I LOVE YOU MOM!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a great day and enjoy your trip to see Grandpa!

Happy Mother's Day one and all...human, canine...whatever!
