Happy Holidays and Thank You

Let me first start by saying that we want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas/Happy Holiday. We are so grateful for all the new friends we have met through our blog. We love you all. Now here is Winston!

Hi everypug, I have to shows you what I got yesterday. My new friend Penny sent me a holiday gift!

Mum came home and found another package at the door for me.

She lets me open it right away. She promised that if any package came in the mail for me for Christmas that I did not have to wait until Christmas Day to open it. So I set about ripping it open.

Mum kept fussing over me to be still while I was opening it. She wanted to get some pictures but I was way to excited. Here is an action shot of me shaking it about. (Mum here..... Thank goodness, Winston, it wasn't breakable!)

I finally got into it. Looks at the envelope. (Don't worry Penny, for your privacy I have blurred out your address)

Looks what I gots! Oh Thank You Penny and Penny's Mum.

A card and a toy! The card looks like Penny's mum may have mades it and I luvs the new toy and set about playing with it right away. (Well after a scene of whimpering and barking while I took of the cardboard backing!)

I lay on the couch and played with it then it fell off the couch so I had to yelp to Mum to get it for me and put it back on the couch. I haves Mum so well trained! BOL. (yes he does, here he is just staring at it and whimpering which is the queue for "come on Mum pick it up for me I am not getting down there to get it.... too much effort")

So on that note I will mention that Mum and I tooks Dickens to Petsmart for picture with Santa Paws and Mum was not happy when we gots there to find out that they had cancelled it. They said it was due to the facts they ran out of the Christmas photo frames. We tolds them we didn't want the frame just the picture but they said without the frames left they weren't doing pictures. They said it was something to do with the Heads Office. Whatever we was super disappointed!

So here is me with the Grinch. This is from last years. I luved the Grinch. He was nice and green.

In case yous interested.... here is the link to my last year posts for Christmas

We haven't dones our Christmas Wish List yet. Mum says we will do it tonights and gets it ready for Santa when he comes TONIGHT!!!!!!!

Happy Christmas everyones.

Christmas Holidays with Dickens

Ok Hi everyone.... first of all let's clarify that I am not referring to A Christmas Carole by Charles Dickens. I am talking abouts my pug pal Dickens. He is sleeping over until Mondays. His Dad is in Edmonton. We boths agree better him than us pugs. We hears it is super colds in Edmonton.

I luvs it when I see Dickens. We hang out, have snacks and swap the latest news. I happened to mention Tuni's sister Sequoia . He seemed very interested in her.... he thought she was "one hot pug and super cute".

At lunch time we wents to Deer Lake for walkies.

Me, Mum and Dickens

Then we gots in the car and headed to Home Depot for more stuffs for the house renos. Mum is still moving my stuffs around while they reno. She says so that it doesn't get in the ways. Anyway, here is Dickens helping pick out living room baseboards.

Here we ares paying for the paint

Then we gots to stop at McDonalds drive thru for coffee. Well we had water, Mum had coffee.

Now we are at home resting up. Later we are going to visit Granny. Here we are watching TV's.

Dickens

Me (Mum got mad at me for gazing out the window and barking at all the people I could see way off in the distance, across the street at the college campus) apparently I was being too loud she couldn't hear the TV!

Bookends  Arm Ends

Dickens fell asleep while I continued to bark at the window

Close ups of Me

Close ups of Dickens

I decided that I was dones barking at the activity outside because I saw that the TV show needed barking at. I hates to see any kinds of animal on TV even animated ones. Here I am barking at an animated dog.

Mum gots tired of me barking so we came upstairs to post all these pictures on my blog.

(I really need Santa Paws to see these next 2 pictures. I need him to see that I have been a very good pug.  I do share with my siblings!)

I shared my blanket.... Tika having a nap all tucked in with MY puppy blanket. Isn't she cutes!

This next one was really hards for me as I am super selfish with my things from my pug luv Tuni......

I let Kizzy play with MY new ball from Tuni. Looks how she fell asleep with it. This is cutes too!

I thinks they are both dreaming of full stockings and Santa Paws. I am wishing for a full stocking because I have been so good with sharing! Do you think Santa will agree?

Pictures from the summer archives, while it now snows like mad outside!

Memories from the summertime. So warms, the sun shinning, playing at the beach. Lazy lounging evenings. Playing in the garden. I want to thinks back to those months while we is now hunkering down inside. The white stuffs is landing on the ground. It is so chilly on our toes. BRRRRRR!

Here is some pics of us in the summer.

The new laundry Hamper

Mum went to Ikea the other day. She came homes with this.



It was only $5.00 and is made of a silicone like plastics. She placed it in the laundry room and announced that me and my cat siblings have our own laundry hamper. With all this rains we have had Mum says I have gone through lots of towels. She said the hamper is to be shared by all 3 of us buts I have the most laundry.


On the weekend we went though my toy box. Mum said with Christmas coming we should throw out any broken and ripped toys and pass the ones I don't play with anymore onto a less fortunate dog. So we wents through my toys that are in my new toy area.



Here is a picture of my toy area for those who missed that blog post
(Tuni, see my toys from yous.... in the front on the floor. They are my favourites now)


Mum then collected all my toys that we decided to keeps and announced that they should be placed into the hamper for laundry day as they were dirty and smelly.



Here are my dirty toys in my new hamper.



I watched Mum, from the couch, go through my dirty toys. She sniffed each one to see just how smelly they were and if they were stinky enough to need a wash.




Here they are.... in the machine getting washed.




They are now nice and clean and dried from the dryer. I am ready for Santa Paws to bring me some new toys.


Speaking of which we put this up on the weekend.




We usually likes to help but Kizzy and Tika were off sleeping upstairs, Mum gave them too much catnip! And I had played hard at the beach in the afternoon that I started to help.....




Here I am helping with the tree stand. But I gots really sleepy and ended up doing this instead.





Mum thinks I looks like a seal when I sleeps like this.



When I woke up I saw that our pawkings were hung on the fireplace.



Mine is the one on the bottom, it has a pug on it. I am a bit concerned it may be too small for all my stuff from Santa Paws. Don't you thinks it looks a lot smaller then Kizzy and Tika's? Mum said not to worry if things don't fit Santa Paws will leave it under the tree.


This last picture is for Tuni. Looks where I put my stocking you gaves me.




Mum placed it on the bottom of the tree at my levels so I can see/sniff it whenever I wants to!

Holiday Prep - Stage 3 Giving and Receiving

Hi everypuggy. This is the 3rd instalment of my holiday prep. This post is about giving and receiving. To start with I have finally got my holiday gifts packaged now all that needs to be done is take them to the post office. Here is a picture of me with my packages.

The next topic is "Receiving".

I was nominated another award, this time from Rosie Marie

She gave me this award. She also mentioned that I knows what it is like to live with cats. Yes I do, Rosie, I am so glads you too understand how it is to share the house with felines and be the only puggers!

Thanks for my award Rosie.

The other "Receiving" arrived on Tuesday.

I gots very excited about this next thing as I have been waiting and checking with the postman every days for 2 weeks.

This arrived at my house.

 

Mum announced my package had finally arrived from my pug luvs, Tuni .

Mum brought it into the living room and let me open it.

Tuni, here is the video Mum tooks of me trying to open the package.

I was so happy to get this gift all the way from America. I participated in Tuni and Sequoia's paw it forward.

Looks at the things I got!

There was a card, a little blue ball, a blue chewie bone, my own little holiday stocking, and MY VERY OWN SNUGGIE IN BLUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here I am in my new snuggie. Thank you so much for my snuggie. Now Mum doesn't have to go to America to get me one. Look how nicely it fits. Tuni's Mum sure knows how to fit a pug for clothes.

I have been wearing it everynight. I luvs it. Thank you girls.

I thinks Kizzy is a little jealous of my presents. Sorry Kizzy, the snuggie is to big for you and it is blues, my colour not yours!

I also went crazy for the blue chewie bone. Mum says I haven't stopped chewing it since I gots it.

She tooks a video of me chewing it.

Here is another picture of me in my snuggie.

Here is a close up of my new stocking

After all the excitement of the gifts, I forgot to mention that the weather has turned very nice now. The rains have stopped and the sun is shining. It is a little chilly in the morning but I am glads for the sun. Here is a picture Mum tooks of the sunrise on Thursday morning during our walkies.

The full moon was still visible in the morning sky as we walked across the field. Can you see the moons at the top of the picture below? There was lots of frost on the ground and my toes got chilly.

Tomorrow we are posting my holiday gifts. Good night everyone!

I will be nice and cozy in my snuggie as I dream of my Tuni!
