Chains Required

2012-01-14T20:28:00.000-08:00

Hello everypuggy,

Winston heres.
My BFF, Dickens, is staying over for the weekend. His peeps left for Vegas on Friday.

Good things they left when they dids.
This is what we woke up to on Saturday!

We headed to our usual hangout for a walk.

Brrrrrr it was chilly. The snow was really hard and crunchy to walks on. It froze over so it was likes walking on glass. The wind flapped our ears arounds too!

After a short distance, we couldn't handle the sharp snow anymores.

Mum bundled us ups into the pugmobile.

just enoughs room for two!

the snow is turning to ice! Better chain up Mum!

We stop to ponder chaining ups. I hope Mum has enough chains for each wheel!

Brrr this wind chill is bone chilling!


Looks at this landscape! Forget the walk... skip putting the chains on... let's just gets back in the car!

While we now lounge all warm and cozy at homes, I leaves you with a short video from earlier.

Stay warms,
Winston Wilbur

My "Tweedles" Adventure

2011-12-14T22:10:00.000-08:00

Hi everypuggy,

Winston heres.
Most of you knows my friend Tweedles and how she is always taking care of the forest. Well this post was inspired by her!

I lives in a very similar environment to Tweedles and her forest amd I thought it would be really funs to show all my friends the forest up heres in Canada's West Coast.

So... quite a few months ago Mum tooks me on my own "Tweedles" adventure.

Anytime of year is a time to experience nature!

I wents to a Fish Hatchery and also walked the Coho Loop Forest Walk...

Here is my adventure

Hang on gotta waits for Mum to takes some photos...

One of Mum's first photos... the big moss covered tree

Ok let's move onward... follow me

Ok down we go... keep up there is lots of stairs


Now we are at the bottom, let's go


waits look at this... fungus on the tree

Stop heres... looks a huge hole in the cliff side shows layers of different soil!

Moss growing on stones. Mum luved this!

trees grow everywheres, even on the side of the cliff!

Remember to looks up too! There is lots to see up aboves

This is the Capilano River and there is fish in theres, lots of fish!

Ok let's rest heres a minute... shhh, listen hears that? Listen to the nature.

One more looks at the river, now onto the hatchery

Follow me... almost theres

Oh hold ons... need a drink, take one BUT don't disturb anything, careful with nature!

Tah Dah... we are heres, ok let's go see some fish

OMP looks... see the salmon? It is jumping. Looks closely at the center of photo

Whoa salmon are big fish!

This place is super educationals!

Can you see the baby salmon in the waters?

Oh looks the sigh says the pools are the "juvenile rearing area". No wonder there is so many baby salmon!

hold ons, I just want to check outs the forest. Can you see me? I am taking a minute to enjoy the forest.

New life takes root on the old. Looks at this tree growing on an old dead one!

Well looks like we are at the end of the path! Thank you fors joining me!

I sure thinks that Tweedles would luvs this walk, don't you?

My favourite thing abouts the forest is the ways the moss grows and hangs on the trees. Did you see that in my photos?

What was your favourite thing?

Oh one last note - Please remember one very important thing about exploring nature...
always walk softly and disturb nothings!

2011-12-12T20:46:00.000-08:00

Hi everypuggy,

School is outs! Mum is dones! She tooks website developments, and is now just waiting for her final grade.

Anyways, I have lots to catch ups on so I won't waste any times...

Today I start with my new set of wheels.

Mum says that I am finding it hards to handle her nice long walks. Something abouts aging PFT whatevers...

anyways, she thoughts I needed a hot little vehicle so that I can still go with hers on her long walks.

Cuz of my weight and Mum's budget she actually purchased a child's vehicle. The "dogger" was too much money with Mum and her school fees. I am too heavy for the kinds that my Tuni has gots. So Mum shopped arounds and found this hot little number.

Tah Dah...
My new set of wheels

Do you thinks it is sporty lookings?

Here it is in actions...

It is so cools I just luvs going for long walks nows.

There were some slight wardrobe malfunctions but Mum hads a stapler handy so everything went well.

As we can't make it to The Seattle Pug Rescue Pug-o-ween this year (Mum has school, her midterm exam that day) we have decided to host our first annual Burnaby Pugs Pug-o-ween next Sunday.

The Green Stubby Report..... World Rivers Day

2011-09-25T19:38:00.000-07:00

Hi everypuggy,

Did you knows that today was World Rivers Day?

Oh how proud Stubby must be when he looked down and saw us celebrating our Rivers.

Today I went across the street to the Institute of Technology campus grounds where there was a big Rivers Day event.

Grab you boots and come alongs.....

When I gots there the sky was threatening more rains! So we checked outs the Farmer's Market first, just cuz there wasn't much coverage in case it poured rains.

OMP looks..... fresh LOCAL fruits and veggies!

Right nears the market area was the First Nations peoples. They were showing hows they live off the land using only what they needs.......

They were smoking salmons that people could taste

Wow it smelled so goods!

Mum said that we didn't need to eats any food as we just had lunch.

Next we headed to the tented areas to check outs the exhibitors

OWL was there!

OWL stands for Orphaned Wildlife.

They rescue birds and rehabilitates them back into the wild.

Some birds have injuries that affect their survival in the wilds.

These birds are kept at the sanctuary permanetly.

This falcon is blinds in one eye and this affects it's depth perception making it unable to survive in the wild.

This little owl has some mild brain damage so it can't survive in the wild either.

Mum and I were happy to see this exhibtor. They do good works for the wild birds and birds play an important part in our rivers.

We sponsor resident Screech Owl, Sammy.

Next we hit the salmon exhibit.

Earlier in the day they released fish into the creek right on the campus.

It was so interesting to learns abouts all the salmon and how important they are to our rivers.

Here is a display of the cycle of the baby salmon from egg to fry!

Right next to that was the Turtle exhibit. The western turtle is endangered.

I sometimes see these turtles when I visit Burnaby Lake or Deer Lake right nears my home. They can be founds sunning themselves on the rocks in the sun.

I couldn't believe my ears when I heards they are endangered!!

While I looked at a display of fake turtle eggs I asked how come they are endangered. The man saids that city growth destroyed their habitat. He saids that we have areas that are protected but the problem they face now is off leash dogs. Dogs upset the eggs and kill them before they hatch.

See this stuff heres.

Well this is the Port of Vancouver exhibit.

The red tube is a special cable that connects to cruise ships that enables the ship to run off city hydro while in port. This helps keep the environment cleaner. Princess Cruise lines us this cable everytime they are in port in Vancouver.

The wire of rocks is a VERY small example of the very large ones that are placed along ther waters edge near the ports. This helps to keep the waters edge more inhabitable for wildlife by preventing the shores from deteriorating by the docking ships.

There was a music stage set up. I stopped to listen for a bits but it just opened ups and poured rains, so I headed homes.

This big sculpture was at the entrance to the creek area.

The eagles are created using real plants!

I learned so much abouts all the things that rely on our rivers.

This little creek on the campus is home to so many things, I had no ideas until today.

As I lives right across the street from the campus I can visit this creek everyday.

I now have much more respect of this creek than I did befores.

What did you do to celebrate your Rivers today?

Until my next Green Stubby Report....

Keep it Green folks,

Winston Wilbur

"Oh hey look Winston's collar!"

"Oh yeah, that nice smell of leather and dog fur"

"I love way it eels when I lie and roll on it"

"Ah the clinking of the dog tags is music to my ears"

"Hey watcha y'all looking at,
can't a crew member have any privacy?"

There you have it mateys!

Proof that this crew member has a strange fetish.

How embarrassing for me and my crew......

Grrrrr

A bucket of Puppies!!

2011-09-17T20:11:00.000-07:00

Hi everypuggy, Winston heres.

Today was the Burnaby Pug Meet Up.

Normally I am super excited about it. Meeting all my friends.

BUT.......

there was a bit of a surprise, that kinda put my and my friend's snouts outta joint

(specially Lola whoa, she was really peaved!).

So without further delay

I show you whats it was that was the talks of the meet today......

Tah Dah.....

5 PUG PUPPIES!

My pug pals Jezabelle and Loki became parents about 9 weeks ago.

Today we gots to meet the little pups.

Mum and I greeted them right when we pulled into the parking lot.

Mum says "what is there NOT to luv abouts a bucket of pug pups"

This little guy "Alfie" is Mum's favourite.

She says cuz he is the biggest one in the litter.

Kinda likes how I was.

His paws are bigs like mine were at that age.

All the peeps crowed around the pups and wanted to cuddle and holds them.

It was really ridiculous.....

us adult pugs got totally ignored!

A group of us tooks off to the other end of the field to hangs out and talks.

My pal Lola came overs.

She was NOT happy abouts the pups either.

She saids that it was silly that her Momma was not paying her any attention.

It got really outta control when the pups started getting sleepy.

The "ohhhing and awwing" that the peeps were doing.....

it really was just too much!

Finally after abouts an hour, us adult pugs barged in and saids

"enough is enough".

"Hello peeps, what about US down heres".

That seemed to works......

Lola and I finally got a bit of well deserved attention!

Hamlet says "no way" to a new little brother!

"One older sister is enough, thank yous"

Looks at this.....

See them heres.....

The peeps just lost it over this.

All we heards was

"aw so cute"

"aw look at them piled on each others"

PFT whatevers!

Oh the pictures and movies that were being taken.......

(see the one in the blue collar.... Mum's favourite big one!)

Gizmo got completely bored with all the puppy excitement and just crashed.

My friend Lola probably was very glad that the attention was back on HER once she left the meet up.

Does she look impressed?

Do I looks impressed?

How about Babette in the back there..... does she look impressed?

Well after abouts 2 hours of fussing over them..... they fell fast asleeps and we finally wrapped up the meet.

Mum did not leave with a new little sibling for me.

Like Lola, I thinks I like it when it is all abouts ME only......

although I will admit..... they are kinda cutes!

One Totally Ignored.....

Crisis in the Garden again...... Slugs 2 - Mum 1

2011-08-22T20:57:00.000-07:00

Hi everypuggy,

Well Mum had another crisis in the garden again.

Last time it was cuz the slugs were eating the newly planted veggies.

This time it was this.....

Mum found these when she was raking up the leaves yesterday.

We didn't knows what it was so we rans in and googled it.

Guess what these are?

SLUG EGGS!!!!!!!

Mum had a fit!

Slugs like to lay their 30 some odd eggs in a dark covered area in the garden and that is exactly where we founds them!

Mum scooped them ups and got rid of thems pretty darn quick.

This is why Mum doesn't wants slugs in the garden.....

see our fennel?

Looks at the slug damage!!

Mum has picked out many little slugs from the plants this years.

There is one plant though, that they don't likes and that is this one heres.

It is right next to the fennel

(which is where the marigolds used to be before the slugs ate the marigolds!).

The slugs haven't slimmed their ways near this plant at alls.

Mum can't remember what this plant is called, we will have to look it ups.

It has little white flowers in the July/August.

You can guess which plant Mum is putting in the "high risk slug areas" next years!!

See this?

This is called the Hanover Slug Guard and Mum is looking into getting something likes it for next years

It goes around the garden like this so slugs can't gets in.

On another notes...... our beans are looking fantastics,

(which is a lot more than what I can say abouts our slug slimed peas!!)

After all the gardening Mum checked the tide schedule and thought it saids "low tide" at 5pm. She thoughts what a great ideas it would be to head to the beach.

Unfortunately, Mum can't read a tide schedule to save her life!!

It was not low tide!

I had funs anyways....

Mum tried to gets a picture of her and me but I ended ups licking her ear...... big time!

It was super funny!

After another try we gots a good picture.

Notice how the water is NOT way outs there but close to the shore.

Next times I read the schedule Mum!!

Hazel Wrap Up

2011-08-11T21:13:00.000-07:00

Well Hazel has returned home.

And I have taken two tylenol and gotten back to "my normal" as the commercial says!
(kidding!)

I do miss her, I admit, a little.

Mum and Dad miss her tons.

So here are some pics from the weekend adventures.

On this past Friday, Dad tooks Hazel and me to Mum's work.

We had lunch with Mum.

Naturally Hazel and I went into immediate begging modes.

Here is Hazel in the car as we head back home after lunch

Mum luvs this picture!

I am in the back.... Mums says I am such a gentlepug letting the lady sit up front!

Saturday Morning was pug meet up at the beach. Hazel and I met ups with our friends.

That is me on the left, Babette, and Hamlet on the right.

Hazel on the beach

I went in the water and played ball

Oh my pugness!!!

Look who went in the water!

Hazel went in up to her mid leg.

I was super prouds of her for going ins.

On the car ride home in the convertible. Looks at Hazel using Me as a pillow!

Later that day Mum took Hazel on a walk to the Central Park in Burnaby.

I was tired and needed rest (senior pug, don't forgets!) so Hazel went solo.

Mum gots a pic of her beside these pretty Flanders Poppies.

Close ups of the poppies

(Mum thinks that Poppy is a totally pawsome name for a pug)

Hazel had a good times staying with us. Her pawrents had a good holiday. But they were all totally happy to see each other agains.

The only thing good about being back to our normal routine is that now I can get back to sleeping ins. No more mad dash to gets up and get Hazel out for wee wee.

Mum says that it is ridiculous that I have to sleep ins all the times.

Mum can be up having breaky and I am still in bed upstairs.....

PFT....... I say, whatever!

(did I mentions "Senior pug"?)

BOL

Christmas explosion in July!

2011-08-08T21:08:00.000-07:00

Hi everypuggy, Winston heres.

You will never believe its but some packages arrived for us a while backs.

Oh Winston...... tell them why we got the presents..

Nevermind I will.

Hi everykitty, Kizzy here.

We pawticipated in Christmas in July.

It was hosted by the gang at Purrs and Snorts

(thanks guys for organizing this fun event!)

Anyway we were paired up with a fellow Canadian... Fuzzy Tales, stop by and check out their site... Nicki and Derry are 2 totally dreamy felines! ahh sigh, so handsome....

akh em.... excuse me, my mind wandered for a second.

Oh yes where was I....

Now since they are felines I will take command of this post.... shove over Winston.

(Thump)

Ok picture heavy so sit back and enjoy!

Wow look at what the mailman delivered!

One package for Winston and one for us girls!

Winston opened his first

Um Kizzy..... let me just say that I thoughts at first this was the gift for you girls! I mean isn't that your litter you use. But Mum said no, it had my name on it.

(shh don't interupt Winston!)

Ok so once the box was opened Winston went right to it opening his gifts

It was filled with lots of totally cool dog stuffs. Toys and treats. He got totally spoiled!

Yah, well for the record you girls got totally spoiled too!

(WINSTON! your interupting again!)

Winston got so excited opening his gifts and boy look at the mess he made!!!!

Looks like Christmas exploded in the livingroom!

Mum gathered up some of the items to take a picture of the goods.

Ok so enough about the pug.... now onto us girls

Like Winston... we also got a card. Ours had cats on it!

Mum is a tad embarassed abouts this as SHE did not put a card in our gifts to the boys. Good going Mum!!!!!!

That is me Tika.... I helped Mum open the box. Then I decided that maybe we should go upstairs where it was a little quieter and cleaner!

Winston was so wound up and thought everything was for him. So we left him chewing on his new bone toy and headed upstairs....

Once upstairs I read the card out to Kizzy and Mum

Look at the goods!!!! The green wrapped stuff is ours the others are for Mum

We opened the gifts one at a time and did NOT make half the mess Winston did!

OMC catnip oh this is the best kind ever! How did those boys know I luved catnip?

Here we are Tika and me checking out the catnip

Hey Tika... I think I gotta buzz from that nip!

Oh and boys thank you so much for the box it was pawsome we played in it for quite sometime!

Even Tika had a turn and she also luved it!

I, Tika, just wanna say that my sister Kizzy totally misses the point of a "mouse pad".

It is not a pad to place your new toy mice on!!!!!!

Here is a picture of all the goods, including the picture frame and mouse pad for Mum

We got lots of treats and toys we just couldn't decide what to play with first!

Ok now here is footage of us opening our gifts.

First is Winston then us girls

We want to say a HUGE thank you to Derry and Nicki and their momma for the wonderful gifts.
Christmas definitely exploded in our house and we were completely spoiled!

Wow all this excitement has tuckered me out!!

Good night everykitty!

At the beach with Hazel

2011-08-06T20:34:00.000-07:00

Hi everypuggy,

In keeping you up to date on the latest news on our house guest.

I bring you.....

AT DAY AT THE BEACH WITH HAZEL,

starring me of course.

We piled into the car and headed to my favourite beach.

We stopped for some take out foodables at the popular White Spot.

MMMMMM hamburgers

After a delicious lunch we carried on to the beach

Right outta the car.... we bump into another pug!

This is Hank on the right, with me.

I am doing my best high five to get a treat!

Here I am again on the beach. It was a great afternoon for some chuck-it

And here is Hazel. I made sure we had extra balls so she could play too.

We went in the water and ran on the beach.

Okay I went in the water.

Hazel didn't like the water much.

Here I am crossing to the other side of the beach.

Um... a little helps here please Mum! I can't get across it is too deeps!

And here we are after playing.

Rest time!

And Mum had to take this picture. I am in the back snoring away but Hazel....

well, she insisted on sleeping around Mum's neck!

Now before I leave you.... I have a short video to show of us at the beach.

I would like to take this opportunity to tells you that this young Hazel is wild!

She has likes 6x more energy than I EVER DID!

I can't keep ups!

For me, I like to think of myself as "laid-back".

A brief description :

laid-back - adjective informal: relaxed, easygoing, free and easy, casual, nonchalant, unexcitable, imperturbable, unruffled, blasé, cool, equable, even-tempered, low-maintenance, insouciant, calm, unperturbed, unflustered, unflappable, unworried, unconcerned, unbothered; leisurely, unhurried.

That is right folks... you look that up in the dictionary and my picture is right there!

Now for Hazel these things do not apply.

She is go go go, a real busy body.
Always gotta see what is going down, and gotta be in the know....

And boy can she ever NAG!

Here is proof.......

Don't get me wrong I still likes her, she is a pawsome friend......

Just stop Nagging me girl!

Hazel and some Redwoods

2011-08-03T22:01:00.000-07:00

Hi everypuggy,

Winston heres. I wanna tells you all about our house guest. Her name is Hazel and she is 3 years old. Today she is the spotlight on our blog.

That is her on the left, me on the right

Her pawrents have gone off to Peru until next Wednesday so she is staying with us.

Hazel is a member of our pug group... that is how I knows her.

Ok so on the weekend we piled into the car and went to a park called Redwood Park.

It has lots of trees planted in it, from all over the world!

(Mum forgot the camera so the pictures were taken on her cellphone.

Not the best quality!)

Here is Hazel riding in the car.

REDWOOD!

These redwoods are still young but boy they sure were tall!

A replica of a treehouse that the original owners of the land lived in.

They planted all the different types of trees.

Hazel and I walking the trail.

Thank goodness for the trees they kept us cool as it was hot outs.

Break time while Mum takes some photos.

This tree looked cool so Mum had to snap a photo!

The cedar grove!

Tall cedar trees

Look way up and you can see the sky poking thru

Hey Mum looks at this long picnic table....

we could have a pug meet up heres and do a BBQ!

An old western red cedar

Well that wraps it up for now. Back into the car and home we go.

Hazel and me getting ready to go home!

Not sure where we will go this weekend but I am sure Mum has something planned for us!

(Oh and for the record..... I haven't told Tuni that Hazel is visiting buts Tuni need not worry. Hazel is NOT my type. I mean, she is cute and all but.... she is totally hyper and just a young'un. Nope! I still luvs my Tuni. I am not into dating the younger generation, Hazel is just a cool friend to hang withs.)

Our First Harvest..... A Green Stubby Report

2011-07-28T22:21:00.000-07:00

Hi everykitty. Today it is us girls only!

Yup we felines are taking control of the Green Stubby Report!

(okay Tika insert the logo now.....)

(good job Tika)

Okay so what is this months report all about?

It is about harvesting your own food at home!

As many of you know we started growing our veggies in the spring.

Well, we were out in the garden on the weekend and low and behold.......

we had our first harvest.

So Tika and I started off by checking out our catnip.

Growing it at home means that you don't have waste.

Even though we recycle most packaging.......

Mum knows what happens when we PRINT the packaging.

Those inks and chemicals aren't good for the environment.

Next we checked in on our beans. Now you may remember that we originally planted them in the garden but had Slug issues so we moved the beans to the patio.
(just in time I might add!)

Look at them now!!!!!

I see flowers!

Tika found this harvesting exhausting so she stopped for a rest.

I kept going as Mum needed me to get the harvesting bowl.

Here it is! Cute huh?

Now over to the peas.

Uh oh.... slug damage.

We rescued the peas from the original spot in the garden and they sprang back to life. But it looks like some slugs have managed to find our peas on the patio!

Look at the slug damage!!

Ah ha!

And look who Mum found in the soil!

Good bye Mr Slug... outta our peas!

(Mum placed him out back in the green belt behind the fence)

It is a small harvest but it is a start.

A few pea pods, some cilantro, sage and rosemary.

Beans, tomatos and cucumbers aren't ready yet.

While we were in the garden...

Mum checked out the Jasmine plant.

As it isn't native to our environment Mum and I had to make sure it got correct winter care. We had it indoors and Mum thought at one point is wasn't gonna make it! (too dry and cool, not enough sun.)

But look at it! It just all of a sudden went wild!

And Mum pointed out.....

lots of little flowers are budding!!!!

Mmmmm it is gonna smell super nice when it blooms!

Wow Tika is right...

all this harvesting and gardening is hard work.

I think I will just sit here and enjoy the smell of the cilantro in our herb mug.

Well I guess that concludes this month's Green Stubby Report.

We were wondering....

what have you been harvesting in your gardens this summer.

Just think how much you are helping the environment by simply gardening at home!

CSI BURNABY Case 004

2011-07-23T11:11:00.000-07:00

Case Number #0004
Date: 19th July, 2011
Investigating CSI - Agent Smiling Pug
Location - The home of two cats and a Pug in Burnaby

On the above listed date Agent SP was called out again, to the above address.

The 911 call went as follows...

Operator: 911 Police, Fire or Ambulance
Caller: Chicken bones on carpet! Upstairs hallway!
Operator: Mam, slow down, I need to know who to send.
Caller: Oh um yes.... I NEED AGENT SP! Hurry stain setting in!
Operator: Does it look like the bones have been eaten?
Caller: OMP who..... no just the meat picked away
Operator: Ok that is good that no one has eaten the bones.

Agent SP arrived on the scene to be greeted by the gray cat of the residence, Kizzy. She

let in the agent and called for the others. Agent SP wasted no time.

The questioning got underway.

Agent: "Did anyone touch or walk near the crime?"

Mum: "No this time I remembered not to let anyone near it"

The Mum led the agent to the crime scene.

Crime Scene taped off and residents told to wait down in the kitchen

Photo A

The chicken bone.

Official name - "hot wing"

Photo B

Close up of "hot wing".

Agent SP confirmed that no bones had been eaten just the meat.

Agent SP noted the stain in carpet.

(Additional comment......... that will be one Bi@#! of a stain to remove)

Photo C

"hot wing" measurements documented

Agent SP noted the object is small and still some meat left on bone.

Photo D

"hot wing" - Exhibit 3

"stain" - Exhibit 2

After the photos Agent SP stood up and brushed fur from clothes (don"t these people vacuum!?) making mental note to
bring lint roller next time!

The evidence was bagged, tagged and sent to the lab for analysis.

Back down to the kitchen to further question the Mum.

Apparently the Dad made the said "hot wings" for supper the night before and left the remainders here on the stove.

Photo E

"hot wings" in dish on stove - Exhibit 4

Next, Agent SP dusted for prints

Back to questioning the residents.

Once again it was
MEOW, WOOF and MEOW
from the furry residents so the agent relied on the Mum for the questioning.

The wing was found by Mum as she got outta bed that morning.
Wings were from the meal last night.

Agent SP - Where was Winston throughout the night?
Mum - On the bed sleeping. I know cuz his snoring kept waking me throughout the night.

Agent SP - How about Tika's whereabouts?
Mum - On the bed with me.... actually sprawled across my face so I had trouble breathing.

Agent SP - Where was Kizzy on the night in question?
Mum - Well she was in the upstairs hallway, then I thought I heard her playing then it was super quiet. I figured she has crashed on the cat tree.

Agent SP then tried to get DNA samples of each resident.
NO ONE CO-OPERATED!
Mouths clamped shut!
(Noted here they all commented: something about reminding them of a vet visit dental check up)

With no time to get a warrent for DNA, the agent proceeded on with the investigation.
How did the "hot wing" get upstairs?

Photo F
Relation of "wings" to the ground
Documented for the file: Distance is about 2-3 feet

Now the Agent recalls from past investigations that only certain residents of the household possess the ability to jump this distance.

Noted in this report is Case 0001 "the cutlet"

Photo G
Pictures from that report (0001) show that the pug is definitely
NOT capable of jumping 2-3 feet onto a counter.
(if the pug had eaten it..... all that would be left would be a stain and a huge vet bill)

All investigation halted when the lab called the
Agent on the Cell Phone with the "hot wing" test results

FELINE!!!!!

Feline teeth marks

Feline Saliva

Feline paw prints

and

Feline Gray Fur

The Mum was informed of the findings. She was quoted as saying...

"oh my well I guess it makes sense. Winston can't possibly get up on that counter. Tika is fussy when it comes to food even if she did jump up. But my Kizzy luvs to eat and luvs chicken."

(the agent notes for the record.. it would have been so helpful to the case if the Mum had offered this tid bit of info about Kizzy "luving" chicken at the start of the case!!)

The Mum then produced this photo...

Photo H

Documented photo of Kizzy drinking water.

Agent SP noted that the Mum commented on how Kizzy was so thirsty that morning.

"she kept drinking water like her mouth was on fire"

Agent Smilingpug has concluded that Kizzy jumped up grabbed the "hot wing" dragged it upstairs and consummed some meat before realizing it was "spicy hot". She left it on the carpet and caused the stain.

Agent SP went to make the arrest but was informed by the Mum that all furry residents had disappeared!

All the agent found was a poster CAMP SUNFLOWER 2011

and map in the sock mockey bed

(mum said pug's spy equipment bag was also missing)

Another poster will be distributed by Agent SP......

Agent SP wrapped up the case by telling the Mum to find herself a
good carpet cleaning company but.......
VACUUM FIRST LADY!

(once Kizzy is located, she will be under house arrest working her butt off for allowence monies to pay for carpet cleaning. You do the crime you PAY for the crime!)

Luxury Car Rides

2011-07-11T21:55:00.000-07:00

Hi everypuggy,

Winston heres today to talks about "car travel".

My good pals Lincoln and Minnie are proud new owners of their brand new
"torture device".

For those of you who haven't read about this.....

stop by their blog to check it outs, maybe even leave them a sympathy comment.

Ok so on this topic of car rides,

I decided that I would dedicate this post to them.

This is a post about how I travel in the car.

Now Mum wants me to point outs that on account that I am such a big pug......

I don't fit into ANY of those "torture devices"

(shown here)

So, because of my large size, I get to avoid the "torture devices"

and I travel in style instead!

(I will add that I am ever grateful for being a big boy!)

Here is a photo of me in the car!

And here is a short video.

Well all I can say to Minnie and Lincoln is.....

"Eat your heart out guys!"

Being taken for a walk!

2011-07-10T09:42:00.000-07:00

Morning everypuggy!

Yesterday I wents to Burnaby Central Park for a walk.

Central Park is Dickens' most favourite park to walk,

but he was up at Whistler so I went solo.

Or.......

solo until we ran into this cute little girl!

This is Marley. She is 4 months old.

Cute eh?

We chatted for a bits then it was time to carry on, on our walk.

That is when Marley decided that she wanted to take me for a walk!!

Check out the video....

Mum told Marley all abouts the Burnaby Pug Group so I hopes to meet her again soon.

One big pug explosion!

2011-07-05T17:54:00.000-07:00

Hello everypuggy,

Winston heres.

I just got groomed.

Mum and I were out in the yard and she decided I needed a comb out

(something abouts tufts of fur hanging off my hind).

Here is the result....

Looks like a pug exploded, doesn't it?

After the initial comb out

Close ups

Mum gots out the rake and raked up my furs.

She said it was like being in a vortex of flying pug furs, hurricane style.

My furs.... Hmmm I wonder if there is enoughs there to make a sweater?

Wow that is a lot of furs isn't it?

Do I look 5 lbs lighter now?

Mum says next time she should consider vacuuming me instead!

Hi everypuggy,

Well I am backs.....

from my weekend in Seattles!

Hello everypuggy,

Winston heres.

Mum had a crisis in the veggie garden!!

Remember the nice plot we allocated for our veggies?

We did a Green Stubby report on how I helped plant the seedlings.

Well, Mum went outs about a week or two after we planted thems and I heard her shriek!

Well the veggie patch attracted these...

We then performed "operation relocate"

The carrots...... gone, totally eaten
The tomatoes..... gone, totally eaten
The beans..... rescued all but two and replanted in a planter
The peas.... rescued and replanted in a planter
Cucumbers..... rescued 4, lost 1 after the replant, they are barely hanging in!

On tops of that we have had really crumby weathers.
Temperatures below normal and 63% less sunlight than averge!

Mum was freaking outs!
I thinks she has it under control now.

Dark Clouds on the Mountain

2011-05-29T20:33:00.000-07:00

On Friday night we tooks an evening drive to Cypress Mountain.

It was a little on the cool side but no rain.......

or so we thoughts!

In the car, I sat on Mum's lap and away we wents.

Cypress Mountain is popular for skiing buts it has a cool lookout.

The lookout is where we were headed.

Dad commented on how "black" the sky looked over the mountain.

Checks this outs....

At the lookout a big dark cloud loomed overhead.

Mum popped me up on the wall for a photo with the city of Vancouver behind me.

OMP LOOKS!

Can you see the rain and cloud in the background?

Um guys..... I thinks it is gonna open up and pours on us!!

Yup it did.... it just poured and poured rains.

I got smarts and headed under a tree to stay dry.

Here is the rain storm.

And it quickly ended our trip to the lookout.

Back into the car and home we wents.

Cat Chat with Kizzy

2011-05-23T18:45:00.000-07:00

Oh Hi everyone!

Kizzy here today

I have taken control of the computer. Winston is off planning and preparing for the next Fire Hydrant Club for Boys meeting. Tika is off spying trying to get info on what was in Sluggo's report.

So today I am here to Cat Chat about Catnip gardens.

Tika and I have a catnip garden specially designed for us.

(Mum here....... Ok... hold on Kizzy...... tell them how you got this garden!!)

Oh yah right.... I wouldn't stop rolling on and flattening the plants in that section of the garden, so after numerous plant deaths and lots of "KIZZY NOOOO!" Mum fenced off a special area for me us.

Today I decided to stroll on out and lounge around in the garden.

Ahhh I luv to feel the sun on my belly.

All I need now is a cool drink with one of those umbrellas in it.

Right next to the catnip garden is Mum's NEW lavender garden.

(used to be the veggies, we will post about that disaster some other time)

So while I lounge and roll around on catnip with the sun on me I also experience the scent of lavender.

It is so very relaxing that

I then sauntered over to the patio for some relaxing back rolls

Roll to the right.....

Then roll to the left.....

Throw in a nice stretch and a bit of a wash......

Yup life is great when you are a cat with a catnip garden!

Do any of you cats out there have a catnip garden?

Cheek Kisses
