And The FUN Continues . . .

Lulu Rockin' The Hat

Do you remember our house guest from April - LULU? Well, she is back. I was just complaining to Mommy that I never see Lulu and, truth be told, I kind of missed her. She is funny because she is so young and full of energy. And she is CUTE as anything with her red "beard" and her "Flying Nun" ears. Really, what's not to like? Well, as luck would have it her Mommy and Aunt are both on vacation RIGHT now and couldn't take her with them. So we stood up high on our haunches and said SEND HER TO US!!!!

So Lulu arrived on last Friday night and I am telling you it has been non-stop fun since the minute she arrived. We have been playing chase the pup and wrestling and playing bitey-mouth almost non-stop! I am feeling like a PUPPY again. I think at this point you could say we are a bit like sisters more than FURiends. Yes, we are that close.

Mommy tried to get a VIDEO of Molly and Lulu playing; but true-to-form they stopped playing just as she started recording.

But I think you get the idea. Usually they are much more energetic.

Note the 3 beds lined up. That is because Molly and I were fighting over LULU'S bed and ignoring our own bed. So Mommy added the bed from Molly's crate (that Sunshine the Cat and I use but Molly never uses) so we could all have a bed while she is working. It worked. We happily all nap close to Mommy on our own beds.

All too soon it is time for Lulu to go home. Her Mommy and Aunt return this weekend and will be anxious to have her home. I, PUGsonally, cannot wait for the next time Lulu comes to stay.

A Mild, Sunny Day In California Means Pugs Can Play

Yesterday was a PERFECT day. And it got even perfecter with a trip to the north bay and a visit with my PUG pals. It was great from start to finish as we left during the cool morning and drove for an hour. I say in the back seat in my crate and just wallowed in the sweet sea cooled air coming in through the window. I think it made me snooze a little because before I knew it we were there.

I have never been to Gerty's house before but heard it was a super place to hang out. Those reports were absolutely correct. Gerty has a big back yard with lots of decks and plants and a garden and GRASS!!!! She has green grass in her backyard! We don't because the water to keep it green would be too expensive. But Gerty lives near a creek and that keeps the soil nice and moist even if her 'rents are not constantly watering. It was a luxury to walk on it.

This is Gerty. Isn't she lovely? She turned 14 years young on Aug 27

We were among the first to arrive - however Tiffy beat us and Bellatrix arrived at the same time. As you may or may not know, Tiffy and Belli are my besties. I am always so thrilled when I see them. We were shuffled into the back yard and there we got to say our HELLOS and update each other on what we have been up to. It has been quite a while since we all had a pug (plus a chiwiwi) gathering, so we had a lot to catch up on.

This is a weird angle, MOM! Tiffy and me posing pretty

Soon the yard was covered in PUGS. Well, that is a little exaggeration but there were about 9 of us. That is quite a few. Let's see, there was Gerty, ME, Tiffy, Bellatrix, Hanna, Baloo, Phoebe, Fezzik, Ms. Ellie and Angel the chiwiwi. Such fun. 

Me and Phoebe. She is 11 or 12 years old now, I forget. She is a
funny funny dame, though.

We mostly wandered here and there checking out the smells and visiting with the humans. The humans were, of course, too busy EATING and chatting to really pay attention to us. Although, I have to admit I got a lot of pets, pats, and lovin' scritches behind my ears. It was PUG HEAVEN!

After a few hours, it started to get a little warm. That meant it was time to say goodbye. But before we left we too a group photo with our HUMOMS. I have a big smile on my face just thinking about it. I love this group so much.

LtoR: Phoebe, Fezzik, Bellatrix, Hanna, Noodles, Tiffy, Ellie, Baloo, Gerty

Missing - Summer of 2013 and a Special Giveaway

NEWS FLASH: SUMMER 2013 HAS GONE MISSING! 

ATTEMPTS TO FIND IT HAVE GONE FOR NAUGHT

Summer left on a long vacation last week and hasn't been heard from since.
