and they're off!

Well, as you can recall from earlier blog entries, mommy and daddy are off to Italy for their honeymoon. I was devestated when they told me I could not go with them, not even in their carry-on. I am over that now. I had not realized I would be staying in such a nice place! I am staying with my grandma and grandpa who live in a house surrounded by woods and they let me roam around off my leash and explore! I have already mapped out the property and marked my territory around the perimeter, to let other animals know who is boss. I am a good pug, though, and always stay within sight of someone and if they cannot see me, they are sure to yell out my name.

The sun has been shining as I lay lounging on the outdoor furniture. I will have to speak to mommy and daddy about buying me one of these fabulous chairs. I could nap here all day! Grandpa lets me snuggle on his lap when he is outside and we work on our tans together. Although I have noticed it is a bit easier for him, given the fact he is not covered in fur.

Even though it is really nice here, I still miss my mommy and daddy! I hope they are having fun!

A Wonderful Day!

The wedding of my mommy and daddy was yesterday (May 24). I was such a good boy! In the morning I ran around the yard and helped daddy and his best men set up the yard for the reception, then we all got dressed and headed out to the church for the ceremony. I got to walk down the aisle with daddy, but when he took his place at the front of the church to wait for mommy, I had to sit with family. This is me, with my great grandma. We were intently watching the ceremony. It was so nice! I do admit, I felt a little left out, so when Brie was doing her reading for the wedding, I sneezed. Quite loudly, actually. Everyone laughed. "hey, the attention is on me for a minute" I thought. I then sneezed a few more times. By this time, daddy was bright red trying to hold in his laughter while mommy was up there laughing very hard. Good thing it was a small wedding and everyone present knows and loves me so it was great!

getting ready

Wow! what a week! Mommy and I have traveled down to my grandma and granmpa's house to get ready for the wedding. We have been gardening, decorating, and look at me! I got to help grandpa build a fire pit with his tractor! He was so nice to let me drive! Even though things are going great here, I sure do miss daddy! He is coming down on Thursday with my other Grandma. Then we will all be together again!

Spending time with daddy

Though it was mother's day, I choose to spend the afternoon with daddy, napping under the hammock. Mommy was busy planting flowers and stuff and she wouldn't let me help her. Probably because I kept trying to lift the flowers up with my mouth to move them. She didn't like that too much. It was so nice under the hammock! The sun was shining, yet it was nice in the shade. I had a huge bowl of water and even a tennis ball! Life is great!

my debut

17 more days until I make my debut as the ring bearer in my mommy and daddy's wedding. I am sooooo exicted! I will be the best ring bearer ever! I put little kids to shame. I suppose it isn't fair, though. Everyone is suppose to be looking at the bride (my mommy), but all eyes will be on me! I have the most handsome shirt and pink bowtie. I match the groomsmen. I can't wait!

enjoying the sunshine

I took a moment this morning to sneak outside and enjoy the sunshine. Mommy recently arranged the chairs to look nice with the plants and it was the perfect place

for me to enjoy my morning, before they went to work.
So here I sat, reading about the Patriots, though I would have prefered the Red Sox, seeing as how it IS baseball season. I wonder if daddy could take me to a game. I would LOVE to go to a SOX game. I could get one of those foam paws people wave, or even a hot dog...wait...hot DOG???? oh no!!! maybe I should not go to a game!!!!!!!!!!!!!
