Dressing for TGIF FUN!

Aloha

My Mommys brought this lovely Hawaiian dress back for me. I gotta say, I loves loves loves it. Not only does it make me look ultra slim, but it is a soft cotton so it is comfortable despite me being all FUR.

It is just right for a TGIF celebration which I am looking forward to. It has been a long SHORT week, if you ask me and I am so ready to cut loose and dance the night away. It will be heart-pumping relaxation.

And that's the contradictory nature of TGIF.

Bed Hopping

On a chair watching television

In a SINGLE day I will change beds quite a lot. It depends mostly on Mommy #2's movements because I ALWAYS have to be by her side. And the beds are mostly situated near where she is - the office, the kitchen, the den and her bedroom. There are 2 beds upstairs for Molly and I NEVER sleep in them. There is no reason to do so as I sleep in Mommy #2's room.

So here is my typical BED HOPPING pattern - as always, the order is subject to change.

Wordless Aloha Spirit

Aloha My Curly Pug Tail!

Have you noticed I have been MISSING in action for a couple of weeks? I have a very WEAK explanation for that - my THUMBS were on VACATION in Hawaii. Yes, you heard me, Hawaii. WITHOUT me. I am a little peeved about that because I thought I would be going and then I was told I was not. I was so looking forward to some MAI TAIS on the beach.

I was not ALONE at all. Molly, Sunshine and I were together and LULU and her family stayed here to mind us and the house. That was kinda cool. We had a 4 year old HUMAN to entertain us and Molly and Lulu were nearly inseparable. But I did miss my Mommys A LOT and looked for then every day and every night.

Mommy send some photos to us showing us all the FUN they were having without us. Here is a sample

I'm Just Sitting Here

                               Watching The Wheels

by John Lennon

People say I'm crazy Doing what I'm doing
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings
To save me from ruin
When I say that I'm okay, well they look at me kinda strange "Surely, you're not happy now, you no longer play the game" People say I'm lazy
Dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice
Designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
"Don't you miss the big time boy, you're no longer on the ball?"

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round I really love to watch them roll

No longer riding on the merry-go-round I just had to let it go  Ah, people ask me questions Lost in confusion Well, I tell      them there's no problem Only solutions

NOT Gonna Be Home ALONE!!!!

"HOME all alone while everyone else is traveling? Hahahahahhahahaha - what were you thinking?" Mommy Hamilton




Honestly, I thought I was gonna be left to fend for myself and I was just a little upset. So I sassed Mommy and ignored her a little. But she kept getting in my face and asking what was wrong. So finally, I blurted out that I was upset she was leaving me home alone (well, with Sunshine, Molly and Jade) while she traipses off to a wedding! I mean . . . harrrrumph!

Couldn't find the copyright. 

Yeah, Mommy thought THAT was hilarious. She said something to the effect of

AS IF!!!!

It turns out my salvation is my Aunt T's friend C's sister S who so happens to be

That's right - Lulu's mom, is gonna be HOUSE AND PET sitting HERE!!! And Lulu is gonna be here too. I am so excited. You know how much we love having Lulu as a guest here. She is almost like a COUSIN. So I am not mad any more. The casa is gonna be hopping with DOG ENERGY and regular meals.

Sweet 16 - Again?

Yesterday was Sunshine's 16th BIRTHDAY. That's kind of a big deal in CAT years. It's a big deal in DOG years as well. To Sunshine, it was no big deal. WHY? Who knows. She is secretive like that.

I have a theory about that. I think we have LOST TRACK of Sunshine's age and keep celebrating her 16th. Or maybe it is more like the "I'm only 39" thing that SOME people use - over and over and over again.

In any case, we celebrated. Well, SHE celebrated. Only Sunshine got a special meal with a candle in it. Only Sunshine got to eat at a special time. We just ran around yipping "Happy Birthday" and expecting a CAKE that never came.

I do want to add - HAPPY BIRTHDAY (no matter what number it really is) Sunshine the CAT! You are the best sisteroid in the WORLD.

Tuesday To-Doing

I am kind of thinking I am in a rut. I pretty much do the same thing day in and day out and the only change lately was last week with PABLO and MOOSE spending a few days.

And this is kind of what we did MOST of the time. Not ALL the time, but most of it. Then, of course, there were meal times to break up the napping. And there was TOY playing - a lot.Normally our toys stay in the basket neat and untouched.

I am thinking this might be a good day to do some exploring. There are many SMELLS circulating and I must figure them out.

I heard a rumor that the 'rents and cousins are TRAVELING far away next week to some as-yet-undisclosed-to-me-location. I am a little miffed that I was neither included or informed. Tonight, while we snuggle and wind down from the days events, I think I will discuss it with Mommy.

A PUG NEEDS TO KNOW

But what can I do to get out of this RUT. Maybe I should MIX it UP with another meal? That'd be cool. Or perhaps it is time to change where my BED is located? Or maybe, MAYBE, I could just spend the weekend at Mommy #2's suite. I think that will go a long way toward propelling me out of my RUT.

Did anypuggy else eat too many TACOS?

Friday is SO Full of Potential

Do you what I like about FRIDAY? Well, basically EVERYTHING! It has so much potential:

1. Everypuggy is HOME so cuddles and snuggles multiply
2. No need to wake up early and grumble about going to WORK
3. Special meals which take too long to make on a WORKDAY
4. New and different adventure - like a leisurely walk IN THE PARK
5. FURiends who drop by for a visit
6. Baseball, Playoff Basketball, and Playoff Hockey - enough said

I can think of so many more but I will leave it with that. Here's to a grrrrrrEAT (get it? g-r-e-a-t) weekend one and all.

Cookin' Up Some Fun

This is FLASHBACK to when I was 2 years old and I learned to make DOGGIE Biscuits. It was fun as anything. I was helping my FURiend PUGLET with his project: a dog treat cookbook. It was so much fun.

I kind of miss those days and my FURiend Puglet.

Every once in a while Mommy involves me in her cooking. This past weekend we made LEMON CURD and I helped "TEST" the Meyer lemons to make sure they tasted right. I actually like lemon and that particular kind of lemon is a little sweet anyhow.

This is the end product of our COOKING -

Speaking of fun, it continues with Pablo and Moose. They are goofy boys. Mommy pulled out our basket of toys and they are constantly putting their noses in it and pulling out something new (to them). And Moose walks around with a toy in his mouth! It is so funny, but Mommy has not been able to capture it on her phone. You can imagine, though.

As you can tell by this photo, Pablo feel right at home in Casa de Noodles.

Lost a Day BUT Gained Some FUN - Pablo and Moose are Visiting

Hi Everypuggy. It's me NOODLES. So on Monday, Mommy took off in her car. She was gone FOREVER and FOREVER and when she returned, she had

PABLO AND MOOSE with her. It is true. She drove all the way to their
house to pick them up and bring to our house for a week. It is a pretty short
visit, but at least it is something!


I think you all know how much we love having Pablo and Moose over. And it has been a awful long time since they visited.

We immediately fell into our FURiendship mode and wandered here and there and back here again. And we went out to the backyard AT LEAST a dozen times. It was MAGICAL. And FUN. I love Molly and all but we don't do a lot of fun stuff.

This is what we mostly do

I am so happy they are here and I am gonna enjoy each and every moment. So far it has been a lot of napping.
