Blessings

A VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY season to you and your humans! May your celebrations include samples from the table, lots of cuddling, treats, new toys and of course lots of love followed by lots of naps.

Why No Updates

Sorry for the lack of posts recently. You see I am holidaying at grandma's house right now as all grand-pups should. I snuck on the computer once to tell Melanie I missed her, but I'm not really supposed to be on here blogging without supervision. So for now just know that I am healthy, happy, well fed and enjoying every minute of my vacation. I'll post back in the new year with lots of new adventures, including one a very special surprise for all my readers!

Thanksgiving

Wishing all my blog readers a very very very happy thanksgiving. Eat lots of turkey and pecan pie and be thankful for all those humans who keep us dogs living in ultimate luxury.

Early Thanksgiving Surprise

Guess who showed up at my doorstep.....Grandma and Grandpa!!!!! I think they are only visiting one night but is it still AWESOME cause I get extra treats and lots of love. Plus they are coming back in a couple days to give me even more! And they are bringing Julie and Katie with them! Then comes the BEST PART OF THE YEAR....a full day of delicious smelling turkey in the oven (and sneaking tastes when Melanie isn't watching!)

A return to normalcy

Melanie is finally done with all her after-work classes at work stuff. Which means, we are back to our 3 day a week daycare visits and long quiet evenings spent snuggling. Melanie is so happy to have her evenings back that sometimes she gets frustrated when I try to get some lovin'. Luckily I am very persuasive and DON'T take no for an answer. Currently, I am typing this while lounging on the back of the chair in total relaxation. Melanie is enjoying her Friday by catching up on some tv shows. Ahhhhh....total bliss!

Confessions of a Peculiar Pug

Melanie is an alarm clock snoozer. Every morning the alarm goes off and she reaches over to snooze it for 5 minutes. I, however, am NOT a snoozer, so I immediately jump up ready to face the new day. I walk around on the bed stepping on Melanie in my excitement. She does not appreciate this and tries her best to ignore me. After a minute or two I realize she isn't getting up and I settle down albeit not fully relaxed as before. This process tends to repeat several times, and each time I get more excited about waking up! Eventually I turn to kisses and laying on Melanie's chest in an effort to speed her to getting out of bed. I guess I am just a "morning dog"....even though after getting up and going outside and eating breakfast I prefer to lay back down for a morning nap.

Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head (and Body)

It is raining....all day. I thought it might let up by the time Melanie came home from work, but I was denied! Thus, out we tromped to do our business. When we came in, I used Melanie's bedspread to dry off. She did NOT appreciate it!

VEEP and Other Campaign Stuff

Quick update from Jaxson 4 Prez Campaign headquarters....

I have accepted Bosley's request to be vetted for VP. Let's hope there are no "skeletons" in his closet. I expect the process to take several weeks and hope to come to you the people/dogs soon with an official announcement.

Also, I have taken under advisement Bruno's desire to rid the world of those pesky squirrels. I currently have a team researching the issue and am receiving daily updates on the matter.

New Plush Toy

Melanie and I spent our sunday afternoon napping. She thinks she is getting a cold, but I really just wanted to sleep all day. Anyway, after we woke up refreshed we hit the pet store with my Jax Cash. Melanie bought me a new plush hedgehog toy to replace my old one. I played with it in the car all the way home!

The Presidential Pet Saga Continues

This article seems to indicate that pets and presidents go hand in hand. However, there is no mention of what breed of "puppy" the new first family is getting. Therefore I remain skeptical.

However, the Brits have a view point I can thoroughly agree with. You see they think puggle (that's me!) is a good dog. Maybe Melanie and I should move overseas?
