belly bands

We have joined the belly band club. Angus, Rufus and me (Uff-Da) have been super busy marking inside and outside the house, including our toybox. Luckily the box was cardboard so Mom could easily replace it with another costco box. Our favorite things to mark were the kitchen table and trash can. Mom was FED UP! So she went to Petsmart and bought us all belly bands. The last laugh was on her though. They were out of the liners so she had to go to Target and buy DEPENDS for us! bol!!!

Here's a question for our readers: would you prefer to read our posts here or on wordpress? Your answers and views will determine where future posts will be. Thanks for participating in advance. In other news, Rufus is recovering quite nicely from an upper respiratory infection. The x-rays didn't show pneumonia. He is on antibiotics twice a day, which means that all of us get a treat twice a day! ttyl, Uff-Da

moving to wordpress

here's our new address, hope to see you there: http://houseopugs.wordpress.com

Happy Easter everyone!

So far we haven't done much today. Mom and Dad went to church and then Mom had to go to work. We did manage to completely shred the sunday paper into lots and lots of little pieces! Maybe we will get a treat when Mom gets home, she still has a bag of marshmellows on the table.

Pugsly is still with us, he is not eating one to 1 1/2 of each of his meals. Mom and Dad have tried softening the food, but it doesn't help. He has been wanting to be cuddled a lot more. Has anyone had an older pug act like this around food?

Dr Uff-Da on duty

Mommy is home sick today, not able to keep anything in her since 4:30am. Naturally I had to order her to call her boss and say she was calling out sick. Personally, I think she should stay home tomorrow too. anyway, I've been making sure the other dogs don't get on her tummy but stay by her feet on the recliner. I also sent Popsy out to get her some 7-up, and bring her water when she was throwing up. I've been a very busy pug today. I also made sure that Popsy was on his toes about letting us outside alot, and that we were fed on time (he did forget to put the olive oil on our food but I'll forgive him this time).
well, i need to get back to my duties. hope all is well at your homes.

Christmas tree fiasco

our first tree this year lasted 10 days. we chewed lights, pulled wires off branches, destroyed some ornaments, and turned the tree 180 degrees. man, that tree was toast! Mommy had to go buy a new tree. it is up on a table where we can't get at it.

celery

mommy was cutting up celery for some soup the other day and we were begging as usual. so she shared some with us ( aka GAVE IN to our begging). Rufus and Angus thought it was pretty tasty and super crunchy. Pugsly slept thru it. I, Uff-Da, aka the picky eater, put one piece in my mouth and decided it was not up to par. so I spit it out, one of the puppies then ate that piece (they're not picky, they'll even eat doggy doo doo). As soon as Mommy started cutting up the chicken I started begging in earnest. I even put my paws up on the edge of the tv tray. She gave all of us 1 piece of totally yummy chicken. all of us puggs went nuts after just one bite of chicken, so Mommy stopped giving us anymore treats. maybe tonight we'll get some mixed vegetables with our doggy chow for dinner!

the twins strike again

Dad left the box of matches under the tv again. While he and Mom were at the chiropractor's Angus and Rufus got the match box out, slid it open, took all the matches out & strew them all over the living room floor. Not a single match was chewed up. The box the matches were in was not chewed up. pretty talented and mischevious little boys don't you think? Gotta love them, after all they are Pugs!

another dog bed destroyed

well the twins, Rufus and Angus, have managed to destroy ANOTHER dog bed. this is the 4th one! the poor bed only lasted 48 hours. this time they actually unzipped the zipper all the way, and pulled the orthopedic foam cushion out of the cover! kinda amazing when you think about it, that two little one year old pups were able to work together like that. Still, poor Pusly is now having to sleep on a pillow. so far they have done nothing to the pillow, not even take it out of the pillow case, and it's been 4 days.
2 days after the bed incident, they destroyed a box of matches, then went and woke Mom up at 3 am to tell her about it! Mom is hopping the terrible 2s have just struck early for them.

joke of the day

2 cows in a field, first cow sys MOO, second cow says ..... dude, you read my mind!

new button from Mom

new park

we went to a new doggy park in Tacoma on Sat. it was Rufus and Angus's first time ever at a dog park, boy did they have fun! Even I had a good experience, I even sniffed some other dogs. the last time i went to a dog park i was only a puppy and got chased by some big dogs, not fun at all. There were only a few other dogs there. Pugsly kept busy sniffing all over the park. Rufus and Angus had fun chasing balls with the other dogs we met there. Mom and Dad even bought us french fries to eat that day... yummy!

we have positively identified the Mouser in the House-O-Pugs

Last night Rufus was standing over his latest catch/kill. This time it was a rat..... ugh! Thankfully all he does is kill the pests and bring them to us, no munching involved. Mom is going to call the vet to see if he needs anymore shots. too bad we live near some fields and those pests are looking for somewere warm for the winter I guess. it doesn't seem as if summer has really arrived except for maybe 5 days this year. Mom is still wearing sweaters, using the heaters at work, heavy blankets at night (we love the blankies, good for snuggling). this WA weather is for the birds or fish.
btw Mom's daughter and son-in-law were able to get insurance and Nikki (her daughter) is now on seizure meds.
only 2 more weeks until Mom goes to FL to see her kids and grandson. this time she's flying by herself, everyone else is staying home. she'll also get to her her new grand-puppy, a little girl. she's debating on whether to get her a little dress or puppy chewing toys. any suggestions?

we have a mouser in the house

today I was scratching at the back door for Dad to let me back in. One of the twins had a very recently caught dead mouse in his mouth! and he was trying to bring it inside the house! keep him away from me please. I tried telling him that us pugs are not to catch mice, that's what cats are for, and ucky things like that do not belong in the house. But would he listen to me? nope. Dad took the mouse away and threw it away. Here's hoping there's no more mouse catching by the twins!

split harness

has anyone ever seen a split harness for 3 dogs?

quick note

just wanted to you all know that our Daddy is home from the hospital! actually he got home last night. we were soooo happy to see him. all of us except for Pugsly slept with him in his recliner last night. lots and lots of snuggles.

aren't they cute?

our parent's decided to have an "old fashioned" picture taken for their 16th wedding anniversary. this was the best part of their anniversary. Daddy's in the hospital now having lots of tests done.

sad news

our human sister who lives in Florida which is way way way faraway from Washington state, was just diagnosed with a mild seizure disorder. they don't know what is causing it. she doesn't have insurance. keep your paws crossed that she will be able to qualify for state insurance now. please send lots of juju her way. Mommy's pretty worried, she can't get down there until August.

hmmm what is that smell?

what is that delicious new smell? can you open the package so we can get a better sniff? mmmmmm peaches.
Our Mommy's step-daughter, Donna, sells scentsy. it is pretty good covering the "doggy smell" of a multi pug household. especially right now while the puppies are going thru a case of the doggy diahrea. check out her website and facebook page!
