Meet up and Beach times

Things have beens kinda quiets for us.

This past week we spent time reminiscing about Emmitt.

We miss him lots.

I did goes to two pug meets two weekends ago.

Here are picture recaps from the gatherings.

Here I am in the cars, waiting go to the Burnaby Pug Meet.

It was super nice and sunny.

A little cool but not cool enough to stop Mum

putting down the top on the car!

 Mum says I was super excited at this meet ups.

Wanna knows why?

Cuz it is one of the first sunny days in a while for playing chuck-it outsides!

Here I am jumping for my chuck-it.

Ok well it was a little jump, I don't jump very highs.

 I dug so many holes that day, Mum hads to gets a picture of my chuck-it ball.

Looks gross eh? Yah I kinda gots a bit dirty that day.

Here I am running after my ball.

That is one of my friends running behinds me.

 Mum caughts me digging again!

I got into a bits of trouble for leaving all these holes in the grass.

 Oh that is another one of my friends check outs my digging technique.

 

Then the next days I went to Ferndale Washingmachines to the Bellingham Pug Meet.

We drove down with our friends Hamlet and Babette. Dickens also wents too!

 When I gots there I went straight for my favourite toy. Mr. Greeny.

I played tugs of wars with my friend.

 Then I played the toy against Mum's leg.

She doesn't likes this too much as the toy is all gross and soggy by this times.

But I likes her leg as it gives me support for chewing Mr. Greeny.

Dickens arrived with his Dad and it was Dickens' 9th birthday so we gots liver cake!!!!!

Here is Dickens watching his Dad cuts the cakes up.

 

nom nom nom nom mmmmm liver cakes.

I am on the rights, my friend Babette is on the lefts.

Mum says I gets a little pushy when food is being served.

(I will tells you that my friend Babette is even pushier!!)

 

We gathers around for cake handouts.

I am the one sitting downs.

The weather here has been pretty strange.

Mum says that someone forgots to tell Mother Natures that it is now March!

We had snowfall warning and gots about 3 inches of snows.

That is a lot for the west coast of Canada.

The next days I wents to the beach to play.

THERE WAS SNOWS AT THE BEACH!!

Takes a looks if you don't believes me!

 

 I had Mum helps me do this in the snows.

 

(Tuni + Winston)

Tuni and Sequoia weren't ables to makes it to our Ferndales Pug Meet

because of this..... I was thinking lots about Tuni when I was at the beach.

(I really missed her at the meet up.)

I climbed a small hill and Mum gots this picture of me. 

(This one is for you Tuni!)

 

Nows to leaves you with a video Mum tooks

A happy Farewell

Winston heres.

Mum and I logged into the blog to checks on our friends a "wham" we read the news. My dear friend Emmitt passed. I am saddened by this news as I hates loosing friends.

I met his momma last years when Mum and I wents to the Seattle Pug Gala. She was the first blogger we have met in person. Unfortunately Emmitt was not theres so I never gots the chance to see him in pugson.

Mum and Melissa talked about us pugs and our ages. Mum remembers someting that Melissa told hers. I thinks it went basically sometings like this..... Enjoy the time together even when your pug gets older cuz it is not a sad time this age business, Emmitt isn't sad that he is 13 and approaching the end of time on earths. You sees he was super happy cuz he had a wonderful life and like all beings that rainbow does come. He was luved right to the ends.

So Melissa wants us to remember Emmitt in a happy ways. A happy farewell until we see him agains. Oh boy.... I thinks we should consider ourselves super lucky we have two very wise angels keeping us company, watching down on us.... Stubby and Emmitt.

 (mum's favourite picture evers, of M&E)

I was super fortunate to have two very very wise friends. I will miss them boths but I knows they are with me all the times in spirit.

I wants to say that Sweater Day really honoured them boths. Over 2/3 of pawticipants showed their Stubby Luv with posing in a Melissa and Emmitt sweater!
