Today I am very excited!! First, I get to go to Puppy Boot Camp to learn how to show my mommy and daddy that I am truly the best dog in the world. The way

my pug eyes see things, if my daddy can go to Daddy Boot Camp, then I can go to Puppy Boot Camp. They like to see me do some tricks and I get to play with the other dogs that go to learn new dog tricks, too. Plus, they give us a lot of nice treats when we do wicked good :):) Later on, I heard daddy say that he "reserved" the TV for tonight. That can only mean one thing!! My favorite football team must be playing a football game tonight and we are going to watch our beloved Patriots together!! I don't get to watch too many games with daddy these days because sometimes he has to work and other times he has to study for his school. I wonder he gets treats from his teachers when he does wicked good like me?!?! All I have to do today is go to Puppy Boot Camp conserve my energy, because tonight is a tough game against the Colts.

GO PATS!!

busy bee

Well, I should apologize for my vacation. I have had writers block, or rather, writers paw. I have been keeping quite busy, though. My latest endeavor was helping daddy put together the crib for my little sister. Daddy got frustrated many times, as the directions were not as clear as they could have been. Good thing I was there to straighten things out.

The one thing I did not expect...to be the crib tester! But I don't mind. Someone had to make sure it was safe for baby girl. Daddy is too tall to fit, and mommy...well...mommy is just too big right now. Her belly does make a great pillow, though!

those mean kittys!!

I figured out where the cats go to get away from me. There is a thing called a "doggy door" on the door that goes from the kitchen to the garage. Well, I finally figured out how to climb through it and follow the cats out into the garage. They are being quite mean, though. I do not know how to get back into the house. I think it is through the same door, but I just don't know.

So there I was, chasing the cats around the house in my usual fashion, when they bolted out the doggy door. Out I went too. Then, in the blink of an eye, they ran through the door again and back into the house. I was stuck! I could not go back through the door. I sat on the garage floor by the doggy door and wimpered and cried until mommy and daddy opened the door and let me back into the house. Wouldn't you know, the cats were sitting right there on the other side of the door laughing!!! It was a setup! They knew I could not get back into the house, so they lurred me into the garage because they knew I would be stuck out there! I cannot decide if the cats are mean, or just really smart...

baby tester

Lately I have been living up to my nickname of the "test run". You see...mommy and daddy always joke that getting me was a test run for when they have kids. Lately I think they have been taking it a bit too literally! Mommy came home with this hiking backpack for my soon-to-be sister, and they came up with the bright idea that I should test it out. In I went! I have to say...I LOVED it!!! I was so high I could see all the way into the treat jar in the kitchen! I wonder if I can convince them to buy a second one so both the baby and I can each have a pack to ride in!

This baby carrier gets "two pugs up!" (get it! two thumbs up?!?!?)
