Summer is Fading Fast

Summer is Fading fast
Fall is upon us at last

Gone is the Gold of the grasses in the field
Wind whipped leaves in piles yield
A hint of Winter's barren branches

Summer's last Breath is nigh
Warm light breezes like a sigh
The Dawn's late rise a harbinger
Just a taste of coolness lingers
Through the morning

Keeping Promises

I pride myself on HONESTY and CONSISTENCY and all 'round NICETY. So why is there an OLD, or rather, RE-USED photo of me on today's blog?

It is because MY MOMMY has broken her promise to take more pictures of ME more OFTEN. She has not taken a single FRAME since last weekend. Today, being Thursday, means almost a whole week has gone by with nary a click of the CAMERA.

Promises mean a lot to me. I make them all the time - and unlike SOME humans, I keep mine. I promise to POTTY outside. . . and I keep that promise every single day. Open the door for me and I will potty outside all the time. Can't say the same for Sunshine the Cat. She potties inside and in a box - most of the time. She has been known to "FORGET" about where she should poop. Truly. AND Molly, bless her blondeness, will "FORGET" to ring the bells to go outside if she is too sleepy or too excited. Granted, it is a rare event. But it happens. I do not "forget" to potty outside. Except that ONE TIME not long ago. But that's because I was whining and yipping to go outside and no one OPENED THE DOOR.

I promise to snuggle with MOMMY #1 and #2 on a nightly basis AND I DO IT. I promise to CLEAN MY PLATE and I do it with aplomb.

What I'm saying is this - MOMMY get your act together and take some more pictures of me for my blog. And I don't mean a snap here and a snap here. I am looking for real PHOTO JOURNALISM, pictures that tell a story so that when I put it on my blog, I can create just from seeing it.

Why is it Already Wednesday? I am Speechless!!!

Sometimes the hood of my stroller works as a bed

It's The Chunky Chicken (by Weruva) - a Product Review for Chewy.com

Adapted from
Do The Funky Chicken 

Original Lyrics by Rufus Thomas 

WWW.Chewy.com

Y'all come on in now

Come right on down front

I got something I want to show you

Now y'all heard of the KIBBLE

Y'all heard of the Dog FOOD

You heard about all your other EATIBLES

But now there's a brand new MEAL

That's going around

I want to show you exactly what I'm talking about

I'm talking about the WERUVA CHUNKY Chicken Soup with Pumpkin , y'all ready?

You raise the left arm up

And your right arm too

Let me tell you just what to do

Start both of 'em to flapping

You start your feet to kicking

That's when you know

You ASKIN' for the Weruva Chunky Chicken Soup with Pumpkin

Chock full of Goodness

You gotta run real FAST

You gotta find your BOWL

Can't make it last

Gotta lick that BOWL real CLEAN

  Then you know you EATIN' 

WERUVA Chunky Chicken Soup with Pumpkin

      

   Oh, I'm feeling it now

I feel so HUNGRY

This is Da' BOMB

This is the kind of FOOD

To make you feel like you

Want to do something CRAZY

Like waste some chicken gravy

On your white FURS

Right down front here we go y'all

We would like to THANK CHEWY.COM for the chance to TEST out WERUVA CHUNKY CHICKEN SOUP with PUMPKIN!!! It was not soupy at all!!! Oh no, no, no! It was full of REAL CHUNKS OF REAL CHICKEN! Even the "Noodles" were made of CHICKEN. And there are WHOLE PEAS and CARROTS in the "soup"!!

Check out what the label reads:

Chicken (Boneless, Skinless, White Breast), Water Sufficient For Processing, Pumpkin, Carrot, Green Pea, Potato Starch, Sunflower Seed Oil, Dicalcium Phosphate, Xanthan Gum, Choline Chloride, Zinc Sulfate, Vitamin E Supplement, Thiamine Mononitrate (Vitamin B1), Nicotinic Acid (Vitamin B3), Ferrous Sulfate, Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin A Supplement, Potassium Iodide, Manganese Sulfate, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Copper Sulfate, Riboflavin Supplement (Vitamin B2), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Folic Acid, Vitamin B12 Supplement.

NOTE - No FILLERS!!!! No Chemical additives! No ARTIFICIAL COLOR!!! Just good plain food with naturally occurring vitamins and minerals.

And the taste???? Please note Molly trying to eat the cans. Even the cans smell good. But the food smells better. We go KOO KOO for KOKOPUFFS when Mommy pulls out the cans. Even Sunshine HAS to have some on her food or she REFUSES to EAT!

We even gave a can to our good FURiend Max who is a picky GSD, if you can believe that. Auntie B even said he sometimes takes ALL DAY to eat his kibble. So she topped it with some WERUVA CHUNKY CHICKEN SOUP with PUMPKIN and GUESS WHAT???? He gobbled it down and ASKED for MORE!

We are giving this tasty and healthy and wonderful food TWELVE PAWS UP with an additional FOUR from MAX  . . . . as being one of the best we've ever eaten!

The real test, though, is when I have my weigh-in on Sunday. If it made me gain weight (Mommy measures my portions very carefully) then we will have to knock off some PAWS!! But honestly, I don't think we will have to.

Gotta lick that bowl REAL clean!

We were not paid for our opinions in this post. We were given some WERUVA CHUNKY CHICKEN SOUP with PUMPKIN from chewy.com for the sole (and soul) purpose of testing the product. Thank you chewy.com for this opportunity.

Monday's Cool

No. I still don't like Mondays much. That headline is a teaser. It says one thing but means another. Heehee. Get it?

Today the weather has cooled down considerably. A good 20 degrees from last Monday. Mommy has on long pants AND shoes rather than the shorts and flip flops she has been wearing all Summer. Today is slightly overcast (high clouds, not my beloved fog) and humid. It might even rain a little up north WHERE they really need it.

Over the weekend a couple of fires started up and have raged out of control. It is scary scary scary. Yes, I live in Suburbia. Yes, the dry grassy areas are up the hill from me - a good ways from me. But that doesn't mean a thing once a fire gets raging. One town in Napa suffered 138 lost home and one death. This was in less that 2 days. Rain will help fire crews get those fired under control. I have never prayed for rain more in MY LIFE than I have this year.

Anyways. . .

Mommy is working from home today. So as far as Mondays go, this one really is COOL. So bring it on MONDAY. I can handle it.

Me HANDLING Monday

Hot Dog Friday

Folks. . . it is HOT here is SUNNY CALIFORNIA. All week we have had temperatures in the 90s - 100s! Normally our natural AIR CONDITIONING, the famous FOG rolls in after a couple of days and makes the temps drop. Not this week. It just keeps getting hotter and hotter.

That is a little to much for this PUG.

I spend a lot of time in the air-conditioned house. Face it. . . pugs are not the most active of dogs so lazing in my crate or lounging on the sofa are the norm. But sometimes I get an URGE to wander outside and enjoy the smells and sounds of our backyard. I can stay out for 30 minutes or so just wandering from bush to bush, fence to fence taking it all in.

So yesterday, and because Mommy was home, I walked to the backdoor and asked to go out. I was ready for a little ME time, you know. Mommy opened the door to let me out and then she went back to what she was working on. This is normal.

But when I walked out the doors, I was BLASTED with a wall of heat! It was only 9 am. . . so what was going on? I turned to return indoors to the cool air when I saw Mommy round the corner so she couldn't see me. I was sure I was imagining the blast furnace so I continued outside the screenroom. Well, let me tell you, that wall of HEAT I experienced when I first walked out was NOTHING compared to the scorching sunshine that assaulted me when I hit the yard. Oy!!! It was H-O-T!!!

I did my bidness, because by this time I needed to, and quickly headed back to the house. It was too too much for me. I was exhausted from the little exertion I spent.As luck would have it, Mommy saw me and promptly let me in. I was so happy I jumped up and kissed her knee (that is all I can reach when she is standing)!

I am hoping this HOT HOT Weather moves on over the weekend. I got things to do, people to see. I can't be messing with no HOT weather! Fog, if you are out there, please listen to my pleas and return A.S.A.P! This little pug misses you.

Incapable Of Making a Decision

Do you see this pug here? This one. . . right above these WORDS? This pug is incapable of deciding who to ask to the Sadie Hawkins dance. There are so many possible boys to choose from. .  . How can I choose just one?

I have lost countless hours of sleep worrying over who to ask. If you'd LIKE me to ask you, let me know. If you KNOW somepuggy (does not have to be a pug) who would like to go with me, LET ME KNOW. 

I cannot make a decision.

Lessee. . . am I tired or hungry? I just don't know.
