There is nothing cuter than a girl and her dog!

Now that Pugsley is getting older, he is beginning to settle down.  When I take him for a walk, he no longer barks at the other dogs or pulls me along (which used to always prompt well-meaning neighbors to ask: "Who is walking who?").  He doesn't send me on a wild goose chase around the backyard when I forget to put him on his leader either.  And, he likes to sleep (A LOT - unless you have food).  One thing hasn't changed though; he still barks at the UPS man.  Lately he has been working his cute head-tilt pug mojo more often when you say his favorite phrases like: "let's go walkies", "would you like a treat?" "do you want to go bye-byes?" and "where's your bunny?"  His bunny is his teddy bear and when it's bedtime, he brings it upstairs and curls up with it.  He and Fluffy, our cat, make sleeping look like so much fun that it is hard to get any work done around here.  Sometimes, I have to give in and just doze off with them.  But then Pugsley's snores usually wake me up.  Here is a photo of Pugsley waking up from a sound sleep for a treat at the kitchen table.  He has good manners, doesn't he? 

Pugsley's Birthday! :]

Keep watch for March 1st! Pugsley is going to be turning 3! Ahh, the big 0-3!
Pugsley has been through so much lately. Today he saw his favorite person in the world, Miss Jenny, decided to gnaw on a cell phone [before i grabbed it], and played with a HUMONGOUS [it was bigger than Pugsley] stuffed bear.
Pugsley's been jumpy and hyperactive lately and hasn't been acting like a real pug! (Mia, age 10)

Pugsley Can Skateboard

Here is video of Pugsley on the skateboard. He is totally rad, dude!

Pugsley vs. The Laser (Warning: Must Love Dogs...)

This is my husband's favorite pastime: making our pug, Puglsey, chase the laser. My favorite part along with Pugsley's kookiness is my daughter saying: "Make him jump over me!" Towards the end, he does, and her giggles say it all.

Pugs on TV

Well, this just confirmed what we already knew. Pugs could sell anything, even a stinking bag of Doritos. All hail the pug!

Pugsley and My Dad

You probably think my dad and Pugsley don't get along, but take a look at this picture. They obviously get along! My dad likes to shoot the laser and Pugsley chases it. He could do that all day if you let him. They like to take Sunday naps together, and if Pugsley plays his cards right, my dad will give him a treat or take him for a little walk. Oh, and my dad likes to play Puglsey's favorite game of all: "You Can't Get My Bunny!" Even though they get along, there is one way they don't get along. That's when Pugsley eats poop. My dad always yells at him when he does that. I will post a video of Pugsley chasing the laser in February. (Mia, Age 9)
