Black Eyed Susans

So EVERRRRY year, mom hauls my PugButt outside in the 93938475785 degree heat and 110% humidity to make me pose for a pic with her stoooopid Black Eyed Susans.

I can't figure out what this Susan woman did to earn herself all these black eyes. Maybe because she was LAZY? (GET IT? LAZY SUSAN? hahahahaaa)


Maggie is here visiting for a few days, and of COURSE she had to pose and look all cute and adorable

"Oooohhh...pretty flowers! They're like mini sunflowers!"



Here's what I think of all this heat and mom's farkakte flowers!!!!!!

"Take THAT, Susan!!!!"


Happy Thursday everyone. Stay COOL for crap's sake! (I think this heat is making me crabby!)

A Day at the Beach

Hi everyone!!! We're working on catching up with all of your bloggies and hope we didn't miss TOO much. We've been trying to cram some fun into these HOT days and haven't been around the blogger-machine too much. I have to share one of my fabulous adventures with you.....



The other day, I got to stay in a cool HOTEL!
>
"Ok, THIS is MY bed....you guys can have the other one!"



I slept all night and even got served breakfast in bed!

"What is THIS? KIBBLE???....I saw the room service menu on the desk! Kindly order me two scrambled eggys at ONCE!"



We checked out of the hotel and went for a short drive, then walked through some sand until.....

"HO-LY CRAP CANNOLLIS WITH SPRINKLES!!!"


Could it really be?????

LAKE MICHIGAN!!!! WHOOHOOO!



We went to Central Beach (Part of the Indiana Dunes State Park system). This was a new beach for us to try, but mom did her homework and it is one of the "dog friendly" beaches with lots of sand for me to dig in!

DIG DIG DIG DIG DIG DIG DIG DIG DIG DIG DIG DIG DIG DIG DIG DIG DIG DIG
"HEY...I thought SANDwiches were supposed to be yummy? This one is making my face itch!"



Mom took me for a long beach walk and we found some cool rocks...

"Oooohhh...pretty!"



Holden took me swimming...

"HEY...why do these waves keep chasing me???"



Dad rubbed my belly on the blanket...

"Awwwwww yeah! Beach Blanket Belly Rubs are the BOMB!"


After all that fun, sun and sand, I was TIRED and found a shady spot next to the beach bag for a nap.

"OK, we can go home now!"


We hope everyone is staying COOL out there! This heat is RIDONKULOUS here in the midwest!!! NOT Puggy weather at ALL!

Another important Yiddish lesson

Hi friends!
Today, we feel it's important to have another lesson from our new favorite book...



Here is our word of the day...(go ahead and click to biggify)

"SHVITZ"


Mom felt this was very timely because THIS is what our thermomter has looked like lately!

First number is INSIDE...second is OUTSIDE (no joke!)


OY GEVALT! That is HOT!

NOT Pug weather at ALL!


I'm going to lie here in the AC under the ceiling fan in my nice cool sock monkey bed....while mom refills my water bowl with some nice crushed ice.

"I said CRUSHED...not CUBED!"

Happy Friday everyone!!!! Stay COOL wherever you are!

It's SO freakin' HOT (according to mom)

Yep...that's ALL mom's been saying lately..."It's SOOOO freakin' HOT outside!" She's been dragging my butt out of the big cloud bed at SIX THIRTY to do our 2.3 miles before it gets too hot outside, which then means that I don't usually speak to her for the rest of the day...

SIX THIRTY? Are you NUTS?

Just so you don't think we're being all dramatic about this...here is a pic of our weather station thermometer the other day...

The first number is INSIDE and the second number is OUTSIDE


I kept going out on the deck to snooze in the sun but mom was all flipped out and worried that I was going to roast myself or get overheated. She put Holden's sleeping bag out there for me to lie on

Ahhh...this is nice and cool! HEY WAIT A MINUTE......what is she dragging out here now????

Whaaaaaat is this farkakte thing???

A huge bowl to drink from???



A baby pool??? For ME???



I'm thinking NO!



Mom PICKED ME UP and plunked me down in the water. I stood there for a minute and just glared at her (sorry...no picture) and then walked out and then back to my nice warm spot on the deck to dry off.

I'm NOT a fan of the baby pool!

Happy Saturday everyone!

***MOM'S NOTE*** Ok...before people start calling the ASPCA on me...I'm NOT leaving Salinger outside all day! He has a doggie door and free run of the house and comes and goes as he likes, and just prefers to lie out in the sun and then comes in when he's had enough. We did this little pool experiment around 10 am when it wasn't as hot outside.
