Bosley's Mom

I got to meet Emily last night and she is so cool! Bos you are really lucky to have such a great human! She said the two of us would get along great...now we just have to work out the logistics of a play date. I am thinking that the halfway point would be Tennessee...are there any good dog parks there???

Leverage

Sometimes you have to be in just the right position to get the best chewing session in. I have found that my beaver's tail is the best part to chew on and in order to have it stay still you must hug the beaver body tightly. Then it's off the the chewing races!

Cats and Dogs

Why when it rains hard do people say it is raining cats and dogs? All I see is water! Anyway, I hate the rain...this morning we woke up to a downpour! It was just coming down in solid sheets of water! I cowered by the door hoping that Melanie wouldn't make me go out, but she shoved me out the door. I was really upset about that and refused to do my thing instead sitting by the door staring at her with sad eyes. But after 2 minutes I was completely soaked to the bone so I sucked it up and did it. Then she let me back in and dried me off with a fresh towel. As my reward she wrapped me up in a warm blanket and let me take a nap in her lap so I guess the rain isn't so bad after all.

Jumping Frogs

Tonight when Melanie let me out for my nightly business I was met by an interesting creature. It was sitting right there on the patio staring at me! I batted at it with my paw and it JUMPED and scared me. So naturally I chased it across the yard until it hid itself up under the house siding. Eventually I convinced Melanie to scare it out of there and then I chased it some more. I've never met such an ugly looking animal, but it was very fun to play with!

Illinois...where's that?

So Melanie took off to the far away land of Illinois this past week and left me in the care of Teresa. I'm not too sure where this magical place is but it must be cold there cause Melanie took sweaters and a warm jacket with her. I told her if she would just eliminate one sweater that she could fit me in her suitcase, but she said I had to stay and keep Teresa company. And it's a good thing I did too cause Teresa got sick while Melanie was away. I had to sit next to her and nurse her back to full health. We watched loads of TV and took extra naps to restore our energy. Teresa also had some chicken noodle soup but wouldn't share with me. I was a little disappointed but I think she needed the sustenance more than me anyway. Now she is feeling much better so I guess I was a good little puggie doctor!

Exercise

I got to go to the park today! It was so fun to see all my friends again. Everyone had a good spring break from what I can tell, but I'm the only one who got to stay in a hotel! Go me! Now I am so tired that I have cuddled up next to Teresa on the couch. She's pretty stable and doesn't move around too much so it makes a good place to take a nap. So now I think I will close my eyes and take a snooze....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Adventures of a Pug in Grapevine

Spring break was GREAT! I got to see Julie and Katie, grandpa and grandma! They love me so much and I get extra petting when they are around. We stayed at a really nice hotel with this courtyard where I could run free. I even checked out the pool/spa area. One day we went shopping all around town. It made me really tired but it was fun. This picture is of me trying to cool off in the only available shade...Melanie's shadow! Thank goodness for humans!

Spring Break...WooHoo!

I've heard that spring break is a wild time in college! I can't wait! Melanie and I are headed to Dallas and the family will be there. I can't wait to see Julie and Katie and the grandparents....I hope the bring me a special treat :-) Not to sure what we will do there, but I've heard that a stop at the dog park is possible! Plus I get to stay at another hotel which was VERY enjoyable last time! Nothing like a soft bed that you don't have to make in the morning!

Handy Man

Today this guy came over to fix something in the apartment. Melanie was home but she made me go back in the crate while he was here! I barked at him though to protect her. Then I settled down and was quiet, but still staring at Melanie sitting on the couch. Then the guy started whistling and taunting me so I had to bark some more. It actually was a pretty fun game...that I WON...since he was the first to leave the apartment!

March Madness?

Well I don't know what you call it but I think this disease has struck our apartment. All Teresa and Melanie did all weekend was watch basketball (with a little baseball thrown in). While it was a little interesting at times (like barking at tu's players) it was pretty boring. But that's okay I got a lot of napping in and am back on schedule :-)

I also spent a long time in our new yard! It is so great to take your toys out there and just lay in the sun relaxing. After an hour, Melanie came out and I had 6 toys out there with me spread around the yard. I would just float from toy to toy making sure no one got left out. Course then Melanie made me bring them back inside, so next time I will have to bring them out again!

Bad Boston Bad

Today I got in a fight with a Boston Terrier at the park. Oddly enough his name was Bosely (but don't worry CT Bos, I'm sure I'll like you). He was trying to dominate me and I'm not really into the gay love thing so I told him to stop. But he got all hissy and we got into a battle complete with growling, biting and barking. Then Melanie made me take a time out even though HE started it! After the 2nd time this happened, Melanie made me leave the park! It's so unfair...I didn't do anything but protect myself! I really think she was more made at his owner for not stepping in, but I still felt wronged.

Winners!

We WON! YEA! So that means more couch time tomorrow afternoon!

Aggie Basketball

Melanie is taking a 1/2 day off today so she can come home and watch the Aggies beat the hell outta colorado! I'm just excited that she will be home to play with me this afternoon :-) Maybe if the game goes quick we can even head over to the park afterwards!

Pug Sitter

The past few days my roommie Teresa has been watching me while Melanie went out of town. She is a good pugsitter but not as good as having Melanie around. I really missed her! But Teresa is good cause she gives me treats and loves on me a lot. The only bad thing is that she doesn't let me sit in her lap all the time. The floor is just NOT cool! The whole sleeping thing didn't work out too good either...she didn't let me hog the bed like Melanie does! Plus she stays up too late for me....bed time is 11pm sharp (although I would prefer 8pm!)

I love Maeby!

I got to play with Maeby today! It was so great to run free although it was a bit hot outside. We had to take refuge in the shade a few times. Also Maeby taught me how to step in the water dish and get all wet! That will really cool you off. By the end of my visit both of us had our tongues hanging out but it was a really fun time! I can't wait to go back.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIE!

This Shout Out is for my main gal-pal Julie! Here's Chew You!

The Beaver and the Duck

(sounds a bit like the start of a joke doesn't it) I have destuffed both of my new toys as of yesterday evening! It feels so great to pull that white fluffy stuff out and then chew it! It does get stuck in my teeth but I think it is well worth it. Ah...sweet stuffing! With the Beaver I was hiding under the side table so Melanie wouldn't see that I had accomplished my mission. But when I came over to check her out I had a little stuffing on my face and she figured it out. Then I had to say goodbye to Mister Beaver :-(
