Walkies down Memory Trail

Thank you my best pug Dickens' human, Walt, for introducing mum to other blogs by pug owners, who let their pug's write their own blogs! she decided to give me free reign. FINALLY!!!! So here is my first entry. So, today we got up and lounged around a bit before mum went on a cleaning spree. She eventually did "midsummer clean" in the basement where we stumbled across the box of photos. I say "we" as while she sat pulling out albums I snuggled down using her foot as a chin rest. There was a lot of "ooohhhh and ahhhhh" and I looked up to see images of me as a little rugrat. So here are the photos that she scanned in. The one of me sleeping on the carpet with my toy is the first day I moved in here. I still have that toy and the blankets I am laying on. The last two are of me and some of my siblings. I am the adorable pug at the back of the bunch. The last one is my daddy "Sam" and everyone says I look just like him and I am just as big as he is too! Ok so here goes...... let the ohhhhhhing and ahhhhhhing begin! puppy love Winston

Me and my siblings, I am at the back near the leopard print bed.

Here is my pug daddy, Sam. I look just like him and I am big like him too!

Winston in the movies

Winston hits the surf with "chuck-it"

So today we headed out to our fav place in West Vancouver. I will let Winston say a few words here....... Hi everyone, thanks for looking at my very own blog, I am so handsome that I love to have my pics displayed everywhere including the net. Today we took a car ride to the beach. I got really excited when we got close to the beach and I could smell the sea air. We drove with the roof off which is what I like cause then the wind blows my fur and I can lounge in the passenger seat looking relaxed and hip. We hiked down the rocks today as the tide was way out, and when I mean out I mean out..... all the shopping buggies were showing today which shows just how far out the water was. Mom got a pic of one of the buggies, we have included it below. Anyway, here are some pics and movies of me engaging in chuck-it. I went quite far into the water today and mom was really happy about this cause I almost swam a few times. After we hung out at Starbucks where I had loads of exposure and got lots of attention, just the way I like it.

Winston at West Vancouver (a regular event)

Everyone who knows us also knows that we love the North Shore! I spend so much of my time there that I can drive there with my eyes closed. The one place we love to frequent is the West Van Dog Beach at Ambleside. We are such a common site there that everyone who is a regular knows me by Winston....."Ah, it is Winston, the really big pug". Here are some pics of a typical day at the beach with his beloved "chuck-it" toy (note: always take 2 balls, a) in case you loose one and b) to share with another dog). After the beach we really love to walk over to the village for a coffee or tea outside the cafe shop where Winston is also a popular pooch!

Kizzy and Winston enjoy the heat wave!

Whoa! It is a scorcher today! Kizzy hung out in the garden for a bit but then took to lounging by the door for most of the day, hmmm maybe I should say "passed out" for the rest of the day. Winston insisted on sitting in the sun in the yard and probably wondered why he got so darn over heated (for some reason he feels pond water tastes better than tap water!). I finally made him go inside out of the sun.
