Green Eggs and What??

I was performing my daily surveilance of the perimeter today, mostly to check on my brothers Bailey and skippy and to check for any wayward Dingos, and I saw a new book in what is becoming my sister Grace' room. I am no stranger to literature, but this book was an entirely different genre to me!! Now, I love a good story, among my favorites are Casabarka, The Wizard of Gus, The Dingos of Wrath, and The Silence of the Pugs; however, this new novella really opened my eyes. The title of this great work of fiction is Green Eggs and Ham and let me tell you now, this Dr. Seuss fella is onto someething!! The Sam-I-Am character has such depth and complexity. The twist in which the disgruntled main character, who would not eat the green eggs and ham with a mouse or in a house, he would not eat them here, he would not eat them anywhere, turns out he actually WOULD eat them with a mouse in a house. Imagine, he would eat them HERE and THERE!! He would eat them anywhere!! An incredible read!!

Grace will be very lucky to have this story read to her every night, if only daddy wouldn't trip up over the words all the time . . .

camping I will go.....

Wow! What a vacation!! Mommy and daddy packed up the car last Saturday and off we went. Way out to Cape Cod. I love Cape Cod! I got to sleep in a tent, go to Provincetown (where dogs can go ANYWHERE, even in the stores!), I went on so many walkes with my friends Austin and Colleen (they are humans..but small ones like me). Colleen even shared her camping chair with me. That's me, sitting in it in the picture. It was the perfect size for a pug.

My mommy and daddy are really big readers, so I picked up the hobby, too. One time while mommy went up to use the bathroom (I suggested she use a tree, but she didn't like that idea), I took her book and read a few pages. She never would have known had daddy not snapped the picture of me. Busted! She wasn't mad, though. Now she wants to start a book club with me! ha ha...

At one point during our vacation, this picture of me was taken. I must have alot of tequilla because I don't even remember drinking! Turns out, I wouldn't remember drinking because I wasn't. I dozed off for my usual afternoon nap, and was so sound asleep that I was set up! I slept through the whole thing!

lounging with the cats

I know, I know, it's been awhile since I have updated you on my life. Well, mommy and daddy successfully made it home from Italy and we have been spending so much time together. I think they missed me as much as I missed them!! I have been spending my days snuggling with the cats, especially Skippy, as he is sooo fluffy he makes for a good pillow!

They're back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hear that mommy and daddy are back! Today (Monday), is the day that daddy is coming to get me!!! I am so excited, I cannot sit still. Ruben (gandma and grandpa's kitty) and I are the same age, so we have been playing all the time. We play tag all throughout the house. When I get home, I can play with Skippy and Bailey, though. They are not as much fun because they are older, but I chase them around anyways.

Yipee!!!!!!!!!!Daddy's coming to get me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh! the agony!!!

Oh how I miss my mommy and daddy so!! I was surfing the net and I saw the email my mommy and daddy sent yesterday to grammy and grampa. How could they be having so much fun without me, their first-born Pug?!?! I could have very easily fit into mommy' bag, and even more easily into grandma Whiting' big black bag. Oh, how the sorrow overcomes me. Grandpa won't even let me sleep on the bed, I have to sleep on the couch. It isn't all bad, I get to watch animal Planet with surround sound!! Mommy and daddy, if you are reading this, please come home!! I will be good, I have lots of slobbery kisses for you, I will even stop eating Skippy if you come home soon!! I miss you and love!! Oh, don't forget some Italian dog treats, too!!

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!
