Sick

So I think I may be getting sick...I have this cough. I woke up yesterday with it and it is still going strong today. I am eating, drinking and playing like normal, but Melanie thinks I will need a visit to the Doctor :-(

Haiku--Sustainer of Life

I wrote this a few days back when the sun finally came out after 6 long days of darkness. Apparently it was only for a day or two though, as it is cloudy/rainy again today :-(

Sustainer of Life

Sun came out today
Joy no more gray clouds overhead
Stay sun stay forever

Pugs need you sweet sun
To lay in the light and bathe
for vitamin E

Promise me sunshine
On your solar energy
Never leave again

I'm Back!

Been a long time, but Melanie finally let me back on the computer! By the way, her exam went great and she is now officially a "PhD Candidate"....or according to her, "Subservient Level III". I have loads to tell you about a visit from Teresa's sister! She is so cool and let me get away with lots of stuff. I also got to spend a fair amount of time in Teresa's room (a forbidden place previously) and only got "lost" twice! Katie also bought me 2 GREAT toys...a Duck and a Beaver...stuffed of course but with realistic sound effects! At first I was pretty scared of them, but now they are just part of the family. Tonight, the Duck met his end as I managed to de-stuff him, but Melanie says she will try to patch him up a bit to get a few more days out of him. I hope to post pictures of them soon, but Melanie has been slow in giving them to me.

A quick Jaxson fix

I snuck on the computer for a minute to tell
everyone HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
from your huggable pug Jaxson!

Work is Depressing

Melanie had to go back to work tonight to finish some kind of paper thing and she let me come with her. Not real sure what this paper is but I think she might be stressed out about it. Anyway, I tried to provide emotional support by staying close which is why I am under her desk. She told me to post that my blog might have to go on "sabbatical" for a while cause she will be needing her computer 24 hours a day between now and her preliminary exams (which sound scary!). I'll keep a mental note of my adventures and try to catch you up when we meet again in 2 weeks. So until then, stay cool dogs (and people)....

Soul-mate?

I think I may have met my soul-mate at the park today. Strangely enough she was a girl AND a lab puppy at that! I always thought it would be a snub-nosed boy! We just had a great time running around and wrestling each other. She totally dominated me but when I was on the ground I could tickle her with my feet as she stood over me. Later we snuck away from the humans and I taught her to roll in the mud puddles! When it was time to go, Melanie had to carry me to the car I was pulling so hard to go back and play some more. Apoo (that's my soul-mate) even followed us to the car and her human had to carry her back to play with the other dogs. I can't wait to go back again!

PS--Bosley, I met a boston at the park today named Sophie...Melanie said she reminded her of you, but since I've never met you I'm not sure! OH, and just in case my real soul-mate is a snub-nosed boy (aka YOU) I'll take it slow with Apoo...you know, let her down gentle and all :-)

Puppy Bowl II

So Melanie and I watched part of the 2nd annual puppy bowl today! I wanted to watch more, but she said it was a little boring for her. Every time she turned it back on, I RACED up to the TV and barked. I just couldn't keep my eyes off all those puppies...it reminded me of my childhood days....ahhhh those were the days. I also tried to catch the coach's eye with my mad ball skills (not gonna to fumble with this teeth grip) but alas I was forced to watch from the sidelines!

It's MY couch!

So my roomie Teresa thinks the couch belongs to her, but I think if you calculate how many hours each of us spends on it I DEFINITELY own the couch! It is so comfy and soft. I HEART COUCHES! In fact I spent all day today burrowed down between the pillows napping!

Weekend has Arrived!

The weekend is FINALLY here...it's been a real long week and I am looking forward to lounging on the couch all weekend. Course Melanie mentioned that she MUST work, so hopefully I can talk her out of it. We might even watch Puppy Bowl II on the Animal channel Sunday.

Boring

My crate is kind of boring today. Melanie does have the webcam on though so I tried to entertain her by making funny faces for a while. But now I am just bored. I guess I should try to lay down and take a nap.
