On Strike!!!!

Let it be known that I. . . Noodles the Pug . . . am on strike. I am striking for the right to MAKE my weekend LONGER. And by LONGER I mean by a FEW more days. Let's be honest. . . 2 days is not nearly enough down time. It definitely is not enough FAMILY time. It most assuredly is not enough PLAY time.

SO I am going to lay right here on this pillow until the weekend comes back around again. . . be that 1 day from now or 5. I am on STRIKE!!!

Friday Fumblings

Huh. Something appears to be wrong with my BLOGGER. . . or maybe with Blogger in general.
I cannot upload a photo for this post. That will make for a rather BORING post, I dare say. . . but here goes. . .

Once upon a time, there was a little pug names Noodles

She was named after a favorite food - or foodables

She loved to go out in her yard and forage

Among the fruit trees for EDIBLES

As luck would have it, she always found

A peach, an apple and an occasional Plum

It made her waistline a little round

But stopped her tummy sound

Summer wore on 

The days warmer

The fruits' bounty waned

Ere, the days were cool

Noodles found

Nary a bite of . . .

Apple

Peach 

Plum

Berry

'Cot

See! I made my own picture. Happy Friday Pugs n Peeps

Havin' Fun With My Bestie

Molly is my Sister

But she is also my BESTIE

We do EVERYTHING together

And that is what make it so FUN

I can't ASK for a better companion

Cuz Molly's NUMBER ONE

Wholly Wednesday

Hello everyPUGGY. What a day! The summer fog has returned and I am having a tough time getting going. Actually, the FOG is late. Our summers are characterized by warm weather followed by cooling fog. But this summer has been wacky. We had a relatively cool June followed by a crazy hot July. Then AUGUST started with thundershowers and even some lightning! Now. . . now we have a little normalcy with the return of the fog.

The house is uber quiet because most of the family is gone. Aunt B, Aunt M, and Cousin C are in the Land of the Mouse. Aunt T and Cousin E are at work. Mommy #1 is at Auntie B's Mom's house where we are staying and Mommy #2 is here working. She says she can actually CONCENTRATE for once and it is making her head hurt. HA!! I think she is FAKING it.

I want to give a POTP Shout-out the Madi who is feeling kinda poorly. I Hope you feel better very very soon.

Today is Blog Hop Wednesday so join me in

Ears Looking At You, Kid. . .

Not only can you tell a BREED by it's ears, but you can also tell a little about one's PUGsonality. Look how different all of these ears are! I am simply fascinated.

Lazy Dog Lazy Saturday

Haha - Gotcha! I was NOT a lazy dog at all! I WENT to the Lazy Dog Restaurant with Mommy and Auntie B. You know me - I loves loves loves to spent time with Auntie B no matter when or where. So when Mom latched on my Kurgo harness and said we were visiting Auntie B, I got all happy. Dancy HAPPY.

We said on the patio which is enclosed and shaded. It was lovely. I do wish the Humans had been able to sit at the LOWER tables. I don't like it when all I can reach is Mommy's ankles. I tried to be good and not jump. The waiter brought me a bowl of water, which was nice. Some places only have community water bowls and I do NOT like shared water. There is also a pup menu but Mommy said no way Noodles. She thinks I need to lose some weight. She says the peaches are making me fat. AS IF!!!

So many people came up to Mommy and asked if they could PET me. Many also had pugs or have family members with PUGS. Once you are OWNED by a pug, you can't go back to other dogs, hehheh. I am very friendly so Mommy always says yes to adults and takes the time to help little humans be gentle with me. It is important to teach children good pet manners.

So I was ROCKIN' the vibe at the Lazy Dog Restaurant and was catching some Zzzzzzs when I heard the rustle and click of Mommy's phone. I knew she was taking a picture of me so I raised my head and posed. I THOUGHT that was what I was supposed to do - but she wanted a picture of my snoozing. Ha! Humans . . . I can never figure them out.

We were there a good long while and then Mommy had to get back home. We RELUCTANTLY said ciao to Auntie B and headed over the hill. It was such a wonderful way to spent the early afternoon.

Sunshine Speaks!!!! #chewyinfluencer

Here in Casa de Noodles, we like to give everyone a chance to try something new from Chewy.com and talk about it. This time it is Sunshine's turn. Usually she tells me what she thinks about a product and I write a review. But this time (and it has happened a couple of times in the past with mixed outcomes) I decided to let Sunshine write her own post about Purina Pro Plan Savor Adult Crunchy Bites with Real Chicken Cat Treats

********************************************************************************

A-hem. Hello dear ones. Sunshine the Cat here to expound on the glories of Purina Pro Plan Savor Adult Crunchy Bites with Real Chicken Cat Treats. They are indeed a treat worth spending my valuable time talking about. They are good. . . they are crunchy. . . they have a rich chickeny flavor augmented by vegetables (which I can do without, if you ask me) like carrot, tomatoes and peas. I find they are wonderful as appetizers or even as an apres dinner treat. They just add that je ne sais quoi to an otherwise adequate meal.

You're welcome

*******************************************************************************

Well. . . I, um . . . She walked away after PRETENDING to drop a mike. What can I say? Cats are like that. Huh. . . . well let me give you a little more information about the Purina Pro Plan Savor Adult Crunchy Bites with Real Chicken Cat Treats that you can find at Chewy.com along with 9 other flavors and formulas. They appeal to a Cat's sense of taste and smell. And I can say from PUGSONAL experience that dogs like them too.

Pro Plan treats were created to provide tasty AND healthy treats for cats. In Sunshine's case, she needs a little extra TLC from her treats because she is 14 now and that is OLD. So the Pro Plan Crunchy Bites 

• Maintain Complete and Balances nutrition that is so important for older cats
• Are made from REAL chicken and chicken flavoring to up the smell and flavor appeal
• Have no artificial colorings, flavorings or preservatives which can harm an older cat's delicate system
• Are fortified with vitamins and minerals that food alone might not supply
• Have a density and crunchiness that is just right for a kitty

The ingredients are:

Chicken Meal, Brewers Rice, Animal Fat Preserved with Mixed-Tocopherols (Form of Vitamin E), Corn Gluten Meal, Natural Flavor, Chicken, Malt Extract, Phosphoric Acid, Calcium Carbonate, Potassium Chloride, Brewers Dried Yeast, Salt, Dried Carrots, Dried Tomatoes, Dried Peas, Choline Chloride, Vitamin E Supplement, Taurine, Zinc Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, Niacin, Manganese Sulfate, Citric Acid, Vitamin A Supplement, Calcium Pantothenate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin Supplement, Copper Sulfate, Vitamin B-12 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Folic Acid, Vitamin D-3 Supplement, Calcium Iodate, Biotin, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex (Source of Vitamin K Activity), Sodium Selenite.

So in terms of a good-for-them treat, Purina's Pro Plan meets all criteria. And as I always say - a treat, no matter how healthy - is worth nothing if the pet won't eat it. We all MEOW for these flavorful crunchy treats. Hey!!! It's fair. Sunshine gets our treats as well (especially the freeze dried chicken which is like a drug to her).

Go to Chewy.com and pick a flavor and formula that best suits the kitty in your family. I don't believe you will be disappointed.

We give Purina Pro Plan Savor Adult Crunchy Bites with Real Chicken Cat Treats 12 Paws Up.
