My Curl-o-Meter for the Beach

Hello everypuggy,

Today Mum announced we was going to meet
Dickens at the beach.

I got really excited and my curl-o-meter proved it!

What is a curl-o-meter?

Mum says it is my curly tail.

See, when I am totally happy and excited
it curls up tights and wags.

Here are pictures to demonstrates....

See how happy I am and looks at my tail!

and here toos, nice and tights!

I am so full of energy as I run away from Mum with my ball.

 

Dickens and me played in the water it was super funs

 

Dickens played with his ball

 

I played with mine

 

I even made a new friend.

He was just a pup who had lots of energys

 

 After the beach we stopped to watch the planes land

at the airports.

 I was on high alert, ready to bark my head off at the incoming jets

 

But I started to gets tired from all the excitement.

That is when my curl-o-meter told Mum it was

time to head homes

 

My curl-o-meter is now at low.

See the tight curl is gones. It is now loose and uncurled.

I am super tired from the excitments.

All the way homes I napped in my bed. 

zzzzzzzzz

Do you have a curl-o-meter indicator like me?

Let's talk beds

Well, before we do anythings else we just needs to remind yous that Monday is the deadline to sign ups for the Valentine Card Exchange. So far there is 18 pawticipants. 

Now onto today's topic.

Beds with a bit of snowfall warning.

A few weeks ago Mum woke up one morning and decided enough was enough!

The bickering over our one sock monkey bed must stops!

She called my Auntie J and they drove to their halfway meeting point,

hopped into one car and headed across the border.

Mum went down to Bellingham to gets another bed from Walgreens.

Mum found outs that the popular sock monkey bed was a one time thing and that they won't gets anymore in. Mum found the snoopy bed and matching chew toy so that pleased her just fines.

On the way homes a snowfall warning hits and Mum and Auntie J had to drives in this....

(Thank pugness they DID NOT drive in Mum's Miata, down to Walgreens!)

They gots home safely and I was at the door to greet thems.

The next day we had to drives back out to the Fraser Valley where Mum had left her car

(the halfway meeting place).

We had to get all the snows off the car!

I waited inside with the heater on while Mum scraped the car.

The end result was that although Mum risked her life travelling in that snows, we now gots another bed!!!!

As you can see here in this photo, the girls luv the beds.

Each bed has a matching stuffie to go withs it,

can you see the monkey and snoopy toy?

Mum can now sleep soundly at night without bickering cats waking her ups.

I have resigned to the fact that those beds are now CAT beds only.

Kizzy and Tika says that I don't understands the concept of the "monkey and snoopy beds".

They tell me.... "the beds aren't blankets.... you sleep in them not under them"!

I now leave you with pictures from our latest pug meet in the Washingmachines State.

Sequoia didn't attend, she had to stay homes with her Dad and watch footballs.

That was oks, it gave Tuni and I some alone times.

(she wore this outfit just for me!)

Aren't we a cutes couple!

Tokens of Friendships + gratefulness

January means a fresh start, a new year.

While many set resolutions we stop to reflect on what we have and how grateful we are.

As we change our pug calendar to a new year and month, we think how it feels that time goes by so very fast.

(a calendar we bought with the help of blogging friends)

The one project to do, that was planned for the new year, was to take all the items from the "Pug Shelves" and place them into a book.

As we start in on the project we stop and consider what it is we have in front of us.....

Tokens of friendship from a community of bloggers.

People we have never met in person but have created friendships with.

Grateful - for us, we are grateful for these friends and what they mean to us.

As we place each item into the book we pause to reflect how each person we came to know and how they have changed our lives.

Then we stop at one in particular.

Just minutes before completing the book we received devastating news.

Our friend Stubby passed away today.

We have never met face to face but we had created a long distance friendship.

He and Michele inspired us to create The Green Stubby reports in his honour.

We are deeply saddened by the news. No one can live forever.... we all know that but when the time comes it is still so very shocking and sad.

In our time of blogging we have experienced several losses.

Snickers

Penny

Betty

Stubby

All friends made through our blog community.

Many who have a token in our book.

As we complete the book we close the cover.

We contemplate for a while of the people we have met. How they have touched our lives.

Grateful for our friendships and for new ones yet to be made.

Stubby

"What the heck", yells Mum, thens ....... "Winston, stop"

Then.... Mum grabs my Duck (Christmas gift from Tuni) from the carpet.

 

Looks okays, don't its?

Then she turns it overs.....

OH MY PUG!

It is not okays!

 

Looks at it!

The guts had spilled outs all over the rug and in my mouth!

"What do we do?" I asked Mum.

"Quick to the operating room..... PRONTO! " She replies

 

Dickens and I look on from a distance as Mr Duck gets his much needed surgery.

The tension mounts as Mum's steady hand goes to works.

 

The operation is a sucess!

Mr Duck is okays now.

 Thank goodness he had medical insurance!

Mum hands him back good as new!

I ring in the New Year with a stitched up duck and lots of cheer!
