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

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!

ANOTHER New Friend Friday!!!!

Ok, now this is getting RIDONKULOUS!!! ANOTHER new Pug showed up here at the house....

Look at this jackleg! He just stands there like a deaf mute STATUE!!!!



Hmmmm....he smells like he might be STONED (hahaha...get it???)

Duuuude....helllll-llllooooo????



HAHAHA...here's my impression of the new guy.....

"Duuuuuuuuhhhhh!!!"


Care to guess what Mom named this one????

She was toying with "Rocky" and even "Stone Phillips"....but finally settled on a real gem.....



Introducing....(drum roll please....)

WALTER CONCRETE!!!!


She says he looks like THIS guy....

I think MOM needs to try on those glasses!!!!!


Happy Friday everyone! Hopefully no unexpected "surprises" like this show up at YOUR house!!!!

Goodbye Grace Kelley, HEL-LO Gene Kelley!

You all know about my favorite stuffie GRACE KELLEY, right?

WELLLLLL....Mom has been talking about "retiring" Grace. She's lost an ear, lost most of her stuffing, has so many stitches that she hardly even LOOKS like a Pug anymore AND mom says that she REEKS (despite multiple washings). SO...while mom and Holden were at Meijer the other day, they walked by the toy department and saw THIS...

SUPERGIANT PUG!!!!!!!!!!!
(yes, you can imagine that Mom and Holden got some weird looks wheeling around Meijer with this dude in the cart!)


Mom introduced us and let me sniff him....

Wow...he's a pretty big dude, but incredibly flexible and very light on his feet. I think his name should be Gene....GENE KELLEY! (HAHAHAAA!)



"YOU THERE...COME HERE!!!"

"I have something for you, Gene!"....

Gene's a pretty tough guy and seems like he'll be a great new "buddy" for me!


So after we got acquainted properly...it was time to show Gene what was what his role was here in MY house....


Yep...Gene Kelley...I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

Another THANK YOU shout out! Guzzi the Pug and peeps!

Hi friends! Today I want to say a big THANK YOU and introduce you to some more special peeps that donated goodies for the March in the Pugs raffle....
Meet Steve, Val and their adorable Pug...GUZZI!

Guzzi doesn't have his own blog (YET!) but occasionally sends us emails and fun pictures of himself in various getups! Now THIS is really cool....Steve and Val are part of the BEST FRIENDS PETCARE Management team! Steve is the Director, Facilities and Procurement and Guzzi’s mom, Val, is the Director of Grooming Operations!

Check out some of this cool swag they mailed to KPR for the March In the Pugs raffle!!!


There was SO MUCH STUFF it had to be split up among a few baskets!!!
Steve, Val and Guzzi sent:
a bone pillow
a ceramic dog bowl
an adorable rugby shirt
a little bone shaped tin full of Back to School Biscuits
super cute braided collar
glow in the dark ball
bone shaped pill holder
2 little bottles of shampoo and a bottle of cologne!!

Thank you SO MUCH guys!!!! I know that for our shift (morning) of manning the raffle ticket table...people were FALLING OVER THEMSELVES to buy packs of TWENTY FIVE tickets to try their luck at winning a fabulous prize to help the Puggies of KPR!

We also have to mention that Sweet Guzzi is also a REGULAR on the hilarious website PETS WHO WANT TO KILL THEMSELVES! Now, living the charmed life that Guzzi does, we know that the name of the website is all in fun....but here are some of Guzzi's finer moments....

(cue lights and techno music)




...and here's one last "handsome" pose...



Thank you SO MUCH Guzzi and peeps! We hope that Guzzi might have his own blog one day (soon!) but in the meantime, you can visit him at his Myspace page at www.myspace.com/guzzipug

You guys ROCK!

Save the Date!

That's right...Pugsley and I are making it OFFICIAL!



NO GIFTS PLEASE!!! (or if you feel that you MUST do something...please consider a donation to Kentuckiana Pug Rescue in lieu of a toaster/blender that we can't operate anyway with us lacking opposable thumbs!)

NOW...some of you may have heard the buzz about the big invasion of Indy coming up here the first weekend of October! It seems that many out of town bloggers are going to be traveling from all OVER the place to come to one of our (in)famous Indy Pug Meetups!

Pugsley and I (along with our hoomans) have decided that our official "union" will be Friday, October 1 at the hotel where we understand most people are staying!

WE'RE SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!! Let's see...old, new, borrowed, blue...check check check and check!


Saturday afternoon is our official Meetup and then Vikki and Dennis (of The Pug Posse) have graciously offered to host an "afterparty" at their house! There will be lots of puggies, laughing and nommables!

(Pee mail us privately at laura0227(AT)yahoo.com for details if you still need them). We're keeping details off of the invitation to protect our privacy against the papparazzi (read: stalker weirdos!) out there that might show up and make a scene!



We are so excited to see all of our puggy friends and their hoomans and promise that you will have a FABULOUS weekend here in Indy! You never know what kind of friendships/connections will be made....just look at Pugsley and I the first time we met when we were both little pups (October 07)

Hope to see a BUNCH of you all there!

Chicago, Installment 5, Kristi, Stewart and the Dukes of Hazzard!

Ok, continuing on with our Chi-Town tour of 2 and 4 legged friends! We stopped off to visit Kristi and Stewart...


...and their two 4 legged furkids...BO and LUKE


(get it??? hahahahahaa!)

Just the good ol boys...never meanin' no harm!!!
Bo and Luke don't have a bloggie (YET) but maybe they will soon!

Mom and Kristi are sorority sisters!

Yeah...that's right...they know secrets!!!

Mom started to tell me some once, but I fell asleep.


ANYWAY...Kristi is so fabulous and amazing so before she put me down...we decided to practice our fierce and ferosh posing skills....
(cue music for the photo montage....)



WORK IT GIRL!!!


Bo (yes...he's a PUGGLE!) challenged me to a "BIGMOUTH" contest!



He beat me by a mile....but he was a worthy adversary!


I sat in Daddy's lap for a bit while Luke stood back watching. I tried not to look like TOO much of an eggroll because I wasn't sure what he might try!

"Is he still looking?"

Uh oh....he started poking me with his nose!

"Um...hello nice doggie Luke, sir! I am not a foodable!!!"


He kept poking and sniffing

and once he figured out that I was NOT dim-sum....

He HOPPED UP ON DADDY for playtime!!!

Look at the look of shock/relief on my face!!!


Now THIS is cozy!!!



HAHAHAHA! These doggies are FUNNY!!!



Just as the party started rolling...Mom (a.k.a. Fun Governor) said it was time to get back to our hotel. Before we left...Kristi, Stewart, Bo and Luke gave me PRESENTS!!!!

Some YUMMY liver treatables and a SOCK MONKEY (can you hear mom squealing???)

I named the monkey "Cooter" (hahaha...get it?)

That way I'll think of my buddies Bo and Luke whenever I play with him!

Thank you SO much for the goodies and having us over Kristi and Stewart (and for missing a chunk of the ALL STAR GAME!!!!) Kiss your silly boys for all of us ok?

Here's me in the backseat before we even hit the expressway back to the hotel!

"Driver, kindly wake me when we arrive back to the hotel...ZZZZZZZZZZZZ"

Chicago, Part 4, Those Elgin Pugs!

For our next installment of my whirlwind Chicago tour...THOSE ELGIN PUGS!

You really should read THEIR recap of our visit (and FOLLOW UP POST) because it's hilarious and there are some GREAT pics, but I'll share how things went down too...

I was so excited to meet this bunch...and I think they were pretty excited to have someone new to sniff out too!

Here is a nice group shot of the daddies...Rob and my daddy (Kevin). The Puggies are Izzy, ME and Anakin Man!

Don't forget Josie!

OMG...that FACE!!!! Mom and Dad were plotting to PugNap her!!!


Here's me with the Moms...me on my mom's lap and Katy!



We were having a great time together and Anakin even asked me if I wanted to play a game!

"Pssst...hey BUD....ya wanna play CORNHOLE!?!?"


I thought that was awfully nice of Anakin to suggest a game that I'm very familiar with (being a Hoosier Pug and all!)

"Cornhole? Bring it, dude! Where are the corn bags?"


Ummm....unfortunately we kind of got our wires crossed apparently.

"Anakin...DUDE...you're not in the joint anymore!!! Take off that striped harness and GET OFF ME!"

(Shhhhhhhh....don't anyone tell Pugsley, ok?)


MOVING ON.....

To keep us out of trouble...Mom and Katy provided some goofball entertainment....

Katy wondered what she would look like with long hair....now we know! HAHAHAA


Katy also read us her BOOK and showed us the great illustrations (available SOON...watch her blog for details!)

We can't wait to order it!!!


Just before we said our goodbyes, they gave me this GINORMOUS bag of goodies!

I don't even know where to START with looking at all of this! There is a cute SUNFLOWER card (since I'm an honorary Sunflower Sista), a TON of cookies, some doggie petit fours, a pink pig/bunny (I named him Wilbur!) and pics of my sweet friends dressed up for Valentines Day and also in their HOTDOG costumes! THANK YOU SO MUCH guys! You spoiled me!!!

We had such a blast meeting all of you and I don't think Mom and Dad will EVER stop laughing at Anakin "climbing aboard"!!! Thanks for inviting us to your beautiful home and spending the evening with us!
