Busy Sunday

Yesterday (Sunday) was supposed to be my day of resting and relaxing all day...but mom and Holden had OTHER ideas!

The day started off with me snoozing in the big cloud bed

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"


Then mom came in and WOKE ME UP!

RUUUUUUDE!!!


She and Holden took me to Petco to say HI to my buddies Gus and Eli (from the Pug Posse) and a new friend Max!

I got a kiss from Eli!


Mom had to get me more of my conditioner at Petco and Holden got me a HUGE bag of goodies from the treat bar! LOOK at this!!!!

Mom wasn't watching as Holden loaded up the bag...ooops!


I also needed a new toothbrush, so we went to Pet Supplies Plus AND PetSmart. I was TIRED after all that shopping! It was waaay past our lunch time so mom stopped and got us something fabulous...

Mmmm...my very own McCheesy Burger!!!!!


We had a little picnic at the park and ate our lunch in the sun!


Hope everyone else out there had a nice Sunday too!

Hot Dog Festival!

Hi everyone!
Friday night, Mom, Dad, Holden and I went to the HOT DOG FESTIVAL in Frankfort, IN (hahaha...get it?...FRANKFORT!?). It was about an hour away from where we live, but we thought it might be fun and different. We saw LOTS of THESE guys there....

but I was the ONLY Pug in sight!



Here I am in the grass waiting for my dinner!



MMMMMM!!!! Look what I got!!!!!!!!!! YUM!


I ate my hot dog in like 2.5 seconds flat...then I snarfed up all the crumbs of kettle corn and other junk under the table while daddy and Holden were eating!

Mom says hot dogs are "vile" so she ate kettle corn instead.


After dinner, we sat and listened to some of the locals sing karaoke. It was pretty funny!

I kept waiting for another hot dog...but I just got smother hugged instead!!!!

R.I.P. Gidget the Taco Bell Dog

I'm sure by now you've all heard the news that Gidget the Taco Bell Chiahuahua has passed away.


Here I am with my Gidget stuffie paying my respects....



Just in case you've forgotten...here is some of Gidget's finest work....



(SNIFF!) I need a moment........



I think to help with my mourning...mom should zip down to the new Taco Bell down the street and fetch me a nice Crunchwrap Supreme!

Back to our normal programming....

Sorry for our silence the last few days...Mom went to Michigan and since I lack opposable thumbs, I am unable to blog without her, BUT she is back and I don't mind telling you that I am MORE than a little perturbed at what went down...

Mom went to go see Great Grandpa. Lucky!!! Even though he thinks dogs ONLY belong on farms (WHAAAAAAT?) I think he secretly digs me!

Mimi (Mom's mom) flew in from AZ also....so it was like a big party!


All this while I was sitting HOME...on my pillow...waiting for daddy to come home and feed me.



To make matters WORSE....Great Grandpa lives with Aunt Candy and Uncle Bill (Mimi's sister and bro in law) and they live RIGHT ON LAKE HURON!
Mom got her feet in the sand......


While I was HOME......on my pillow......



Here's another nice shot of mom....chillaxin' on Aunt Candy and Uncle Bill's deck...drinking her coffee and listening to waves


While I was HOME.....and (you guessed it!) ON MY PILLOW........


SO unfair!!!!!!!!!!!

That's BULL!!!

Ok, so mom bought me these things called "Bully Sticks" after hearing about them from a few of our other doggie friends and our blogger buddies Sunshine and Mud Puddles.


For those of you that don't know what a Bully Stick is.......you may NOT want to know......but if you're brave...CLICK HERE for an explanation.

Mom thought this would be a nice treat for me, so she got a package of them and gave me one this morning (figuring that it would last me all day!)


NOM NOM NOM NOM!!!!

These are the only pics that mom got because I ATE THE WHOLE THING in about 5 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!

Mom said she kind of expected that I would like it (I don't know WHY she would think that! ;-) but she had no idea that it was even possible to eat it that fast like I did.

I didn't even throw up......it just gave me bad gas...and THAT'S no bull!!!!!

Tag, we're it!!!!

We were tagged by Winston and Clementine to open one of our pet pic folders and post a pic we haven't used before and tell a story about it.

I have shared this story a few years ago with a few via email........but here it is for anyone that may have missed it, or just wants to laugh again.......Clearly I was NOT having a good day!!!

**************************************************
ONE question is weighing heavy on my mind right now. Maybe some of you can help me out with an answer. WHY DO WE HAVE 9,000 DIFFERENT ALLEN WRENCHES IN OUR TOOLBOX??????????

Good god Gertie....I'm trying to find a little screwdriver to open up some little battery part of one of Holden's toys and I was rummaging in the toolbox wondering what kind of Karma I was working off to the Ikea Gods that would make them FILL the toolbox with so many farkakte allen wrenches. WHY WHY WHY do we have these? I am CERTAIN that I personally did not deposit ANY of them into the toolbox...so that leaves hubby..........hmmmm.

Kevin is in Denver and not available for comment. I'm going to just let this one go because I already used my monthly girly yelling ration last week when I ripped him a new one for keeping our music files in some cryptic folder that I couldn't figure out (just put it all under MUSIC so a normal person can find it!). He actually moved it all for me (so now it's under MUSIC) and I can reload my MP3 player and go for a run without wanting to stab people. I think he really thought it was a good idea to keep the mp3s in some weird drive I didn't even know we had (J? K? Some weird middle of the alphabet letter) THEN under something else, and fifty other clicks that made no sense. I guess it's that whole Male/Female/Mars/Venus deal again. Whatever.........

Ok...back to the kvetching at hand.......the allen wrenches. What do I do with them? Just throw them out? Is there some sort of organization that RECYCLES them or repurposes them? I don't think Ikea furniture comes with those little plastic postage paid envelopes (like ink cartridges do) to mail off somewhere. Does anyone out there NEED or WANT a friggin metric TON of allen wrenches??????

And while I'm being all yelly...........WHY do all kids toys have that SCREW LOCKDOWN device thing on the battery packs? I'm sure there was one moron kid out there that got into the batteries and sucked on them and probably died or something, but REALLY....did the toy manufacturers have to go so far as to require a TOOLBOX to change the batteries in a kid's toy?

OMG...wait........I have the answer (just came to me!)............The toy people need to get in cahoots with the allen wrench people and make the battery packs ACCESSIBLE BY ALLEN WRENCH (instead of one of a hundred different screwdriver sizes). Now THERE'S a good idea! See..sometimes there is a point to my otherwise pointless ranting.

Ok....I feel like I've used my powers for good tonight after figuring that out. I'm still going to go through the toolbox, pull out ALL the allen wrenches and bag that foolishness up and present it to Kevin upon his return and try and get some kind of reasoning out of him. This ought to be good.

We're passing this tag along to anyone who hasn't done it yet. Come on...find a good pic and tell us a good story!

A typical walk in the 'hood

Hi everyone! My friends Sophie, Dixie and Harley did a cool post about "Wednesday Walkies" so we thought we'd document a walk in our 'hood too! Mom usually makes us walk with her every night after dinner whether we like it or not!!!!

Here's dad and I hoofin' it

Mom was lollygagging behind! HURRY UP LADY!!!!


FIRST off....I have to check my Pee-mail...

I love to read all the interesting messages....


A little further down the street....I have to LEAVE Pee-mail for some of my friends...



Mom and dad laugh at this goofy sign stuck in someone's yard.......

Mom said she'd give me a pig ear if I'd take a dump right then and there....but I didn't have to go. I waited until waaay later when we were just PAST the park trash can to lay cable.


Then we got to one of the little parks in the 'hood. There were no kids there tonight, so I got to go down the slide!!!

WHOOOOOOOOOO!


Your turn mom!



A little farther ahead, we met THIS guy......

He was a nice Puggle (Pug + Beagle) named Oscar!!! He is 2 years old, just like me!


Mom and I stopped to reflect by the lake...

We didn't see any ducks out on the water tonight. I usually yell at them.


Dad and I had to stop and look disgustedly at this house.......

Look closely...........

THEY STILL HAVE THEIR FARKAKTE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS UP!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF?????
Mom wants to send them an anonymous "NastoGram" in the mail and tell them that Christmas lights in July is just plain flat out jackassery...but they probably won't care.


ANYWAY...


I saw a bunny in someone's yard....



Then I spotted these flowers......mom loves Black Eyed Susans!


Mmmmm...nice!


Here we are back at home in our driveway....

Time for a drink!!!


Check out this cool site that mom uses to calculate how far we walk...www.mapmywalk.com. According to the map there...our normal route is 2.3 miles!

Happy Saturday everyone!

What EVERY "Crazy Pug Lady" (and man!) needs!!!!

Look what we got!


Can you see him?

It's a PUG PLANTER...and it's exactly what EVERY "Crazy Pug Lady" (and man) needs in their house! Holden named ours "Frederick".

Check out his cute Cinnabon tail!


Now, what would you say if we told you that YOU can have your very own AND buying one would benefit poor helpless Puggies through Kentuckiana Pug Rescue??? CLICK HERE TO GET YOURS!!!

Now you KNOW we can't do this all day......

So make sure you jump over to the KPR website and get yours TODAY!

You followin' me Camera Guy????

I'm disgusted in this picture because mom bought one of those silly Aqua Globes that is supposed to water her plant for her. FORGET IT! They don't work and all the water glugged out the minute mom stuck it in the plant.

I'm sure Vince wouldn't pimp such a shoddy product!

Look who came to play!

You won't BELIEVE this.....guess who came to play with me the other day???


Do you recognize her????

Would you believe that is CHLOE???? CLICK HERE to flash back just a few short months ago when she was a tiny puppy!!!

Jeez-O-Man! What in the world are they feeding her??? Miracle Gro???

Here we are sitting nicely for treats from mom

Holy crap...mom really needs to get her roots done again...I simply CANNOT have her walking around with me and having crazy lady hair like that!

Happy Hump Day everyone!

Outstanding in my field

Hi everyone! Since mom is still recovering from the massive heart attack, three strokes, road rash, deflated left boob, and general anxiety from my little stunt in the parking lot yesterday.....we are just going to post a nice picture today with NO drama attached to it!


We liked this picture because it reminds us of our friend C.L.O.V.E.R over at Sunshine and Mud Puddles Blog (because I'm sitting in a field of CLOVER!)

Happy No Drama Tuesday everyone!

SUPERFLY...at the Gas America!

Hi everyone! Well...I got some revenge on mom today for subjecting me to forcible Pug mingling on Saturday (previous post). I jacked her up BUT GOOD, and afterward...I overheard her say something about the "meat packing plant" to dad again! Yikes!

Here's what went down today............(please note that these pics are a reenactment of the events of earlier today)

Mom and I were in the car (normal, right?). She had to stop at the Gas America in Fortville to fill the car back up. Now, NORMALLY when she stops to get gas, she tells me "STAY" and I do...right on my pillow like I'm supposed to....like THIS



BUT...I was feeling particularly SAUCY today and decided to slip out with her...kind of like THIS...



Mom felt me jump out (good thing she didn't slam the door on me!) and before she could even react...I TOOK OFF across the crowded gas station!

She SCREAMED "SAAAAALINGER!!!!!!!!" and went into full blown BAT-$#!T CRAZY LADY mode! She threw her keys on the ground, threw her wallet at a nice old lady next to her, kicked off her shoes and TORE AFTER me. She got close and then did what can only be described as the Superfly Splash move (remember the old WWF Wrestler named Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka?)
Check this out if you want to see the move mom did to capture me.........

She had a MUCH cuter outfit on when this actually happened...remember, this is a reenactment! The good outfit made it WAY more funny!


Can you believe she GOT me on her first try???? The end result looked something like THIS in the Gas America parking lot...


A truckload of painters asked mom if she was ok or if she needed help (a little late!) When they realized she was ok, they told her she should check to see if Gas America had surveillance cameras because she could wind up on YouTube with that dive!

Once mom recovered from her heart attack enough to move...she realized she had gravel stuck in her leg and was bleeding in a few places from where rocks poked her. She's going to have some nice road rash on her leg for a few days! (You might have to biggify if you want to see anything gross)

Check out that guilty "I'm sorry" face I have! Do you think she bought it??? HAHAHAHAHAA (SUCKER!)

Happy Monday everyone!
