Mommy Number One's Celebration

Happy Birthday Mommy #1

So Mommy's birthday came around on Saturday. This was VERY lucky because everypuggy was home. Eventually. Saturday is actually a very busy day with track meets, ballet rehearsals, and general goof-offery. This day was no exception EXCEPT it was Mommy's birthday. I got up extra special EARLY  to greet Mommy. She was awake already I THINK because she was excited - SHE THINKS it is because she slept 15 hours and enough is enough even when you are a teen.
We snuggled and played a little. I gave her lots of stinky kisses and she petted my soft shiny fur. It was the best of the best.
Then she had to head off for a BREAKFAST date with her Mommy and a couple of FRIENDS but not the FUR kind. They were gone like FOREVER. I waited and waited. In the meantime, I got lots of treats from the other family members (in their case TREATS translates into dropped morsels while they cook breakfast) and some special hugs from the Lil' One. Next thing I knew - they were gone too and it was just me and Sunshine left to clean house and decorate. I won't go into Sunshine's method of decorating (HINT: it looks like a tootsie roll BUT IT'S NOT!!!) but I think I did a great job of fluffing and REARRANGING pillows in the den.
Dinner was SUSHI the NON FISH kind and miso soup. It was YUMMY!!! Yes, I did get some Kappa Maki without wasabi. I am still smacking my lips in memory. After dinner, we brought out the HOMEMADE apricot sorbet (I helped pick out the best apricots myself) and a small small small cakelet ( they only wanted something fun to put the candle on since we are all on D-I-E-T-S except for Mommy and Lil' One and they do not like cake). I sang the HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU song at the top of my lungs because I love my Mommy #1 THAT much.
After all of THAT excitement, Mommy opened all of her gifts and giggled with delight at all the good stuffs she got. She was happy which made me even HAPPIER. Finally, we retired to the couch I FLUFFED and watched some movie until it was night-night time.
Sigh...................... it was an awfully nice Birthday.

Monday Got The BEST of ME

As we ALL know by now, Mondays and Noodles do not get along. I am sure it is the sudden loss of my MOMMYS 24/7. Or maybe it is the increased activity because I have the house of full of PEOPLE willing to let me tag along with them, help them in the yard, yell at MR WASHING MACHINE MONSTER, and so on.

My Mommy #2 also blames the FULL MOON anytime she feels extra tired. Maybe I should use that excuse too because the moon was extra special FULL this weekend. What could it be about the moon that makes one tired? I don't howl at the moon, can't be that. Maybe I bark a little more because I can see a little more when I DO MY ROUNDS in the wee hours? I dunno, I think I am pulling at straws here.

I have a whole week of mischief ahead of me and really and truly I use MONDAY to PLOT and PLAN. So don't let this sweet PUG MUG fool you. I've got something up my furry wrinkle-that-looks-like-a-sleeve. And you can bet it involves FOOD.

First up tomorrow: A RECAP of Mommy #1's birthday and how it involves me.

Happy Birthday (tomorrow) MOMMY #1

Hiya from the FOG

I really don't have a lot to say today except Hi.
It was so foggy this am and chilly! I don't know about you but I have a very difficult time dragging my cute lil PUG HINEY outta bed when I am cold. Not even for my bidness. But I do it because I am a good girl and a respectful PUG. Except for the occasional STINK BUTT on the pillow. I can't always help that.
But I DIGRESS.
The point is - I simply had a hard time getting up and getting going this morning.
There is another reason why I just couldn't get going today - Mommy #2 is working from home so I got/am getting some extra snuggles and treats. I loves loves loves it when MY Mommys stay home with me. I get all comfy and cozy on their laps. I can stay like that ALL DAY, if they'd let me. I spend a fair amount of time alone in my pen so having my family WITH ME is so so so special.
This time of year is so busy for the whole family that these little islands of TIME are to be cherished. I know I cherish them.
MOMMY! Get away from that washing machine monster and come back and cuddle me.

BLOGVILLE has some pretty big PAWS to fill. Have fun over the BRIDGE Mango - you will be missed in a BIG WAY by all of us.


I also just learned that StellaRose's sister Trudie (also known as Turdie) crossed the bridge as well. We send all our love to the Long family in this difficult time. Trudie, you keep watch over Mango for us as well.

I heard FOOD

Was that a carrot dropping?

One of my household jobs is helping in the kitchen. I take my job very very SERIOUSLY. What I do is highly specialized and area specific TO THE KITCHEN BY THE STOVE.

Here is what I do

• I make sure I am right on MOMMY'S heel at ALL TIMES
• Occasionally I whimper so she knows NOODLES IS ON THE JOB
• I scrounge around the floor in the prep area to MAKE SURE no bits or pieces of food are on the ground. I would not want Mommy to SLIP and FALL on something when she is cooking
• I bark LOUD and CONTINUOUSLY when the timer goes off so Mommy knows the FOOD is READY
• I am READY and WILLING to act as taster or even, in a vague kinda way, GUINEA PIG to save to family from a sub-par meal

It is a lot for a little pug to handle but with my keen sense of HEARING and SMELLING (only when it comes to FOOD), I know I am the 

PUG FOR THE JOB
