What the...? from the pug vault

Daisy heres!

Mom's been going through some old photos agains and came across this:

That's me in front and that's my sister in the back. Can you tell what we're doing?

Pearl here!

Our secretary has been slacking off and didn't post a very important blog we wanted her to post. It's about our Christmas presie from Santy Paws.

First off, I was a bit shocked when Mommy & Daddy opened their presies and only ONE presie was left under the tree.

"Uh, Mom, I'm fairly alarmed here. ONE present who is for? I hope it's for me and not Daisy."

Turns out, it was for both of us. Oh, heck no go.

That's Daisy' butt. She was getting right into the action. AND she started to eat the cookie that was attached to the ribbon. We finally shared, but boy, she can be a piggie-pug.

Finally, we got it open...

"Mom, what is it?"

Turns out, it's a big pillow to put your butt on AND a huge stuffie.

It smelled pretty good, but I wasn't going to have anything to do with it. I mean, sheesh. I have to SHARE it with my sister. Daisy didn't waste any time. Mommy went to put the wrapping paper in the recycling and came back to this. Pretty horrible, huh? Daisy being cute. Harumph.

So I didn't use it until a few days ago. Turns out, Max is pretty comfy and my sister isn't on it ALL the time so it really wasn't a bad gift at all. In fact, it is a pretty good gift. Thanks Santy! (but next time maybe you can bring us 2 Maxes)

Pearl here!

Mom found this awesome picture of me the other day. I'm catching a wild bean - okay, I think it was just a regular green bean, but it was tasty. We don't remember when the picture was taken but probably a couple of years ago.

Me and Dad

2012-01-02T17:01:00.000-08:00

Daisy heres!

Boy, I sure do loves my Dad. In the evenings, when we all sits on the couch to watch TVs, I am Mommy's puggie but the rest of the time I am Daddy's.

Here's me and Daddy last week on vacation in Montreal.

I like to help him do everythings but sometimes he gets kind of mad because I get in the way. But I know he doesn't mean it because as Mommy says, he's a big softie for his baby - ME!!!!

Christmas Photos Outtakes

2011-12-23T09:17:00.000-08:00

Daisy here!

Mom's saids we were really good girls this year while we were having our Christmas photo takens. Especially me! Pearl is always good but I can be very exciteds - I just want to get to the treats parts of the pictures! But this year I sat like a very good girl. Mom's didn't choose these two pictures thoughs because she thinks I looks awfully worrieds. And I'm tiltings my heads this way...

...and that's a way...

But Pearly has the bestest baddest Christmas photo:

We don't even knows what she's doing! But she looks awfully means. She was probably getting ready to bite my butt...

We do know what we will be doing in the next couple of days - waiting for Santa, eating yummies and spending times with our dear friends and family. We might even do some licking!

We hope you all have a wonderful holiday! Merry Christmas!

Watcha call me?

2011-12-20T10:08:00.000-08:00

Daisy heres!

I'm looking pretty confuseds because Mommy and Daddy have so many names for that sometimes I forget that my name is Daisy.

Here's some of the names they calls me:

Pumpkin
Daisy Boo
Daisers
Days
Teddy Pug (one of Mommy's faves)
Snufflegator
Stinkmeister (one of Daddy's faves)
Stinkmuffin
Snurt

Do you have lots of names, too? Why can't our Mommy's & Daddy's makes up their minds?!

Uh, Mom? Santy Paws? Anyone?

2011-12-15T09:58:00.000-08:00

Do you see a problem with this picture? No presies!!!! Mom says I have to wait until like 10 months from now until Santy Paws comes but I want my presies now.

And in the mean time, could someone take this cat off my head?

Geez Dad and Christmas Cards

2011-12-05T08:04:00.001-08:00

Pearl here!

So the other day I'm attack...I mean playing with my sister and then sit down to rest after my hard work. What does Dad do? He throws Flatty McPurple - our very flat and very purple toy - on my back. I didn't even know until Mommy started laughing and taking pictures.

Gee, Dad. Thanks a lot.

Now onto Christmas business (well, not business like we do in the backyard...)...Mom ordered some pretty darn cute cards (us!) and we wanted to share them with our friends. If you would like a Christmas card, please email us pearlanddaisy at gmail dot com!

Eau du Guinness

2011-11-09T16:38:00.000-08:00

Pearl here!

I'm just chillaxing on my Teddy chair while Mommy tries to figure out why my head smells like beer. As Daddy is the only one in the house who drinks beer, she thinks it's his fault. But he says there is no way he spilled beer on me. So now they are both wondering why I smell like beer...I'm not saying one way or the other but they do leave me alone in the house and I may have figured out how to open the fridge door.

(burp)

No puggies were harmed

2011-11-04T12:38:00.000-07:00

Daisy here!

Mommy wanted to say that no puggies were harmed in the making of our curling video even though Pearl looks like she is a killa! That's just the way she plays - even with Mommy sometimes! Pearl thought that I was trying to plays with her when I was really trying to attack that broom...but looking at the video we sees that it may looks like Pearl is trying to take a chunk out of her sista.

Here we are not attacking each other. Mommy calls this picture "Sisterly Love" or "Can I Share This Green Blankie With You?"

Curling is scary

2011-11-02T15:10:00.000-07:00

Daisy here!

So's we didn't have any Halloweenies on Monday because Daddy had to work and Mommy went curlings. We know. What the heck is curling?! We thought it was something she dids to her hair, but no this curling is about going and standing on ice for 2 hours and then pushing a big stone around with a broom.

Okay, see? Weird. A lot of Canadians curl and Mommy is Canadian but she never curled in Canada. But she did buy a broom from a company in Canada and when it came she showed it to us. We don't like it as you can see:

We never want to see that thing again. Thanksfully Mommy keeps it hidden away in the closet because the broom has to stay clean and she doesn't want to get pug furs all over it. See? Crazy. Aren't you supposed to get furs on a broom?!

Wordless Wednesday

2011-10-26T08:38:00.001-07:00

Yeah, I'm all that

2011-10-25T16:51:00.000-07:00

Pearl here!

This past weekend, our playgroup had a Halloween party at this very cool place. Before we went I tried on Daisy's costume.

It was too big so Mommy had to bring it back to Target and get a smaller one (ah...note to Mom - you nee to feed us more so we can fit into mediums, please).

Before our small dog party, we helped Mommy check people in at the big dog party. Here I am ready for customers.

And then this happened. Jail.

"Uh, hello, Mom. Can't you see how worried and sad we are in here? This thing is made for babies. Who knows what happened in here." (*Mommy's note: this was our friend Tara's playpen she brings with her for her 4 puggies)

Daisy even tried to escape, but no dice.

We thought things were getting better when Mommy carried us through the big dog party (kind of scary! We got sniffed by an Irish Setter. We're pretty sure he was trying to decide how we'd taste), but she fooled us when she put us into a little side room with our friends. Now, we were ALL in jail.

It was pretty rough, but we finally got to put on our costumes.

And socialize. This guy had a lot to say, let me let me tell you.

And this gal was sure surprised to learn that she had a headless horseman on her back.

But the best part came at the end when I won an honorable mention in the costume contest. The ladies from the animal league let me pick whatever I wanted from the things they had brought to the event. I chose a soft plush bone! It's soft and a bone! And I love it! And I think those judges did a great job. My stinky sister didn't win a thing! (don't tell anyone but I will share my bone with her anyway).

Oh, boy, this is a long post today! It's probably because we're so happy to have our bloggie back. We found it really hard when the meany had control over it. We're so grateful to our friends for all the support and we also want to say a big thank you to Yoboy on the Google help forum. He's not a Google employee, but a "top contributor" which probably means he's won a few plush bones in his life - or if he hasn't, he should!

We're back!

2011-10-24T18:19:00.000-07:00

After weeks, Google finally got our blog back from the nasty hijacker! And just in time, too, because we have some awfully cute pictures from our Halloween party to post but right now, we're going to rest after a busy (stressful day - our blog had been accidently deleted and Mommy had a major freakout when that happened).

Yay to Google!

Wordless Wednesday (almost)

2011-07-20T09:19:00.000-07:00

Daisy here!

I'm doing muchs better! No more Big-D, but I'm not letting Mommy off the hook so easily so I haven't pooped since Monday. She keeps asking me and I keeps saying, "Nopes. Don't needs to go." Mommy thinks I will go soon and if not, I'm seeing my regular vet on Friday for my annual.

Happy (poop free!) Wednesday!

Keeping Mommy on her toes

2011-07-18T09:46:00.000-07:00

Daisy here!

So I's been thinking that Mommy has been having a bit too much fun and relaxation this summers and thought it was time to shake things up.

This is me yesterday morning before the trouble started:

It's hard to tell by just looking at me but my belly was getting ready to go all "Excorsism-y" (like the pea soup only from the other end). The Big-D (diarrhea) started just after lunch when I asked to go out and then stayed in the mudroom where I left Mommy an unexpected present. It wasn't much but it was enough to scare Mommy. Even when I was a puppy and had wormies, the Big-D didn't just leave me unannounced. The unexpected pooping happened a few more times, in the living room and kitchen. I felt like a cow!

Things got worse. Mommy tried to give me the tiniest piece of bean later because she and Daddy had to go out and I had to go in my crate and I ALWAYS get bean. I sniffed it but didn't want it. This has NEVER happened, evers. This worried Mommy more, but not quite enoughs so I then put on my saddest, sickest face and could hardly move around the house. But even that wasn't enough, so I had some poops with what might have been bloods.

That did it.

Mommy brought me to the emergencies vets at 9:00 last night. Everybody said I was really cute and the doctor gave me some medicine. Mommy felt felt better because she learned I didn't have a fever which she was worried about.

Today, I'm feelings much better. I had some Big-D this morning but it wasn't like yesterday at all so Mommy and the vet think I'm on the mend. I hope so, too, because I'm getting hungry! (I don't like rice for breakfast - the chicken was good though...)

Air Show, Scare Show

2011-07-15T08:54:00.000-07:00

Daisy here!

Yesterdays, we heard a huge booming noise outside. Mommy said, "They're here" and I ran outside barking my little brains out, looking for whoever Mommy was talking about. Turns out "they" were big boomer jets in the sky called "Blue Angels" (Daddy says 'blue angels' are farts you light with a match but these were not the same). They have been practicing for the air show this weekend right over our house.

This one came so close, Mommy could read the writing on the wings!

Me and my sister stayed busy, toodling around the yard while Mommy frantically tried to snap piccies of the jets.

But, boy those Blue Angels practice for a long time! We got hots and tireds and had to rest.

Turns out, we're weren't the only ones in the garden. We found this guy on the watering can. He probably had a really good view of the Blue Angels from where he was sitting.

Looks like we have plenty more boomer jets to look forward to as the air show lasts all weekend. Although Mommy loves the planes, we are going to stay inside where it's quieter.

Leaking Pug

2011-07-10T10:09:00.000-07:00

Pearl here!

It's too hot to sit outside today so I'm lying in my bed. Even though it's nice and soft, I like to put my head on the carpet so I can feel any vibrations near my food bowl.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Power Peepers

2011-06-13T09:56:00.000-07:00

Daisy here!

Daddy sometimes has a banana before bed and I'm always rights there to gets my share! Sometimes, though, it seems that Daddy doesn't see me so I have to use my super duper Peeper Power to hypnotize him.

Sometimes even the power of the peepers doesn't work so wells and I has to move closer so that my whiskers tickle his knee.

But in the ends, Daddy always shares.

Here's the dead banana - the yummy bits are in my belly! (And Daddy's and Pearl's)

A winner and our trip!

2011-06-08T09:53:00.000-07:00

Daisy here!

We're sorry it's taken our secretary so long to post the winner of our Almost Summer Giveaway but we's were away in Mun-tree-hall. We used a random number thing-a-ma-gingy to choose our winner and so without further ah-doodoos, the winner is...Wilma!

Wilma said, though, that if she won she would donate the vest to our friends Southern Fried Pugs for their new rescue. So congratulations Wilma and Southern Fried Pugs!!!! If Southern Fried Pugs email us a pearlanddaisy at gmail dot com with your address, we will send the vest out to you.

And now about our trippies.

We had so much funs visiting our family and friends! I played a lot with Gigi, Mommy's grandniece (boy, that makes Mommy sound old, eh?)

Wonders why I look so sad in this photo? That's because there are all these feets around me and I"m not licking any of them!

Here's me and my sister in the backyard with Gigi while she hops like a bunny.

And finally, here's Pearly with one of her favorite peeps - Uncle Rick. Pearl loves Uncle Rick because he gives her meat! And lots of it! Things like ham! And burgers! Yum! Years ago, Uncle Rick also used to not let Pearl on the couch at their house so Pearl humped his leg and now he lets her go up whenever she wants. And he rubs her and tells her how cute she is.

Now, we're going to rest up before our next trip next week to Torontoes!

Almost Summer Giveaway!

2011-05-27T14:19:00.000-07:00

Pearl here!

So seeing as it's finally warmed up in our part of the world, we've been thinking about summer. Mommy has also been busy doing some tidying up and she found this life vest for doggies in the closet the other day:

She can't remember, but she's pretty sure we won it somewhere! I can't remember either, but we've never used it because we don't spend much time by the water. We thought some other puggie (or doggie) might be able to use it as it is brand new, never been worn except by me to model it.

It is a size medium and fits me perfectly! (I weigh about 18lbs). Notice the cute little handles on top? That means your mommy or daddy can carry you while wearing it. How cool is that?

To enter the giveaway, please leave a comment saying what you're looking forward to most about summer! We will keep the contest open until Sunday June 5 (JUNE?! Can you believe it?!)

Have a good weekend!

Oh, and here's one other shot of me in the vest.

Bad pugs and our first video!

2011-05-16T10:30:00.000-07:00

Daisy here!

Mommy boughts some new flowers and planted them. But we keeps getting into trouble because we like to eat the grass and the flowers! And then we like to stomp on the flowers after we've finished eating. Mommy says she'll be lucky if she has any flowers left soon.

Mommy bought a new camera - it can take videos! So guess what Mommy has been videotaping? That's rights! Us! Being bad!

Not so perfects after all

2011-05-01T09:57:00.001-07:00

Daisy heres.

So recently Mommy noticed something funny going on with my ear. It looked like the color of my fur was changing. It started off in a small spot and last week, it was down one edge of my ear. You can maybe sees it in this photos:

Mommy gots so worrieds that before bed on Thursday she googled it and saw that it might be mites, also called mange or scabies. These were not good words to Mommy. So the next day we went to see Dr. G. The good news is, I don't haves mites. The bad news is I'm not as perfect as we thoughts I was.

Dr. G. said that the strange coloring on my ear and the way my fur was coming out there was because of a deformity. Oh, my gosh. I can't believe that I's deformed! Well, my furs anyway. See how sad I am lying on Daddy's lap?

Here's close up of my sadness just so you can gets the full effects of my misery:

It's been very hard for me accepts this new realities. But I will tries. Canine Carry Outs - my favorite treat - sure do help. And this week, Mommy is taking us to class for "educational" purposes. I am sure I will get lots of loving from Mommy's students. We just won't tell them I'm not so perfect.

Happy Easter!

2011-04-24T07:49:00.000-07:00

We hope all of our friends have a very hoppy day! Love ya!

Pug Thoughts Monday

2011-04-11T14:13:00.000-07:00

Pearl here!

Daddy came home early today because he's sickies. Daddy is, like, NEVER sickies so nobody is happy about this. He thinks it was something he ate but we doubt that because food is yummy and good unless it isn't. Then it can make you sick. So Daddy probably is right after all.

In honor of Daddy, our Pug Thoughts Monday picture today features me and...Daddy!

To play, post in the comment section what I'm thinking in the picture below.

Happy Monday! And please feel better soon Daddy!

Daisy the Bullmastiff

2011-04-08T14:49:00.001-07:00

So Daisy heres!

Spring finally sprungs and me and my sister couldn't be happier. We just loves going outside like a million times a day! And Mommy doesn't mind at all opening and closing the doors to let us in and out as many times as we want!

Here's me and sister in the yard. Don't I look huge? Mommy thinks I looks so big in these pictures because of the camera angle and the slope of the yard but I think I'm turning into a Bullmastiffs. What do you think?

It really doesn't matter which I turn, I'm one big doggie!

Because I took up so much space in those pictures, here's one of Pearl all by herself.

She's not turning into a Bullmastiffs but she said she wouldn't mind getting as much food as one of those doggies get. Me, too!

Taking cuteness to a whole other level

2011-03-27T15:05:00.000-07:00

Pearl here!

We bid on a super duper poncho over at Paws of Peace, the lovely blog where they raise money for doggies in need and...we won the auction!!!!! I am so happy with my new poncho. I look super cute. Here's the proof.

Who's cuter, me or Daisy? Yeah, me. I know.

I think this picture really highlights my adorableness and my wonderful new poncho. And it's a great picture because Daisy's not in it.

Thank you to Marcia who crocheted my poncho and thank you Paws of Peace for doing such terrific work!

Pug Thoughts Monday

2011-03-21T16:42:00.000-07:00

Daisy here!

Mommy has been working and doing chores all day and I was thinking, geez, Mommy, it's been a week (which is like a 159 sleeps to a puggie) since our last post.

So I said, "Mumsie, why don't we play Pug Thoughts Monday!"

After she finished dusting up all the pug bunnies (some of them had grown teeth) in the living room, she said okay.

To play, leave a comment of what I'm thinking in the picture below.

Happy spring!

Oh, boys...

2011-03-13T16:07:00.000-07:00

Pearl here.

See my face?

That's my "Yeah, I did it. So whatta ya going do about it?" face.

And what I did was poop in the bath.

I had no choice. Mom decided it was time for us to get clean. I don't know why we can't stay dirty! That's the way we like it. So I showed her by leaving shartwork in the sink. Yes, the sink. That's where she gives us our baths. In 11 years I've never pooped in the bath but it was time. It was just one little plop. Nothing big or messy but it got my message across.

And that poop message was - no more baths. I don't think she's going to try getting us clean again any time soon.

Sweetest Emmitt

2011-02-26T09:50:00.000-08:00

Our dear friend Emmitt has gone over the rainbow. There is a beautiful goodbye posted on he and his mom's blog. Though we are incredibly sad, we are so glad we knew Emmitt.

Not only did we know him through his blog but we knew him through his mom's, Melissa, art. Years ago, when Pearl was still little, I came across Melissa's work. I told my husband about a puggie watch I wanted and he bought it for me. I love that watch and the sweet puggie face on it. I didn't know until later when I joined the blogging community that Melissa's work was inspired by Emmitt. Through Melissa's work, Emmitt's spirit will live on because his Mom loved him so much. We think there's nothing more wonderful in life than that - to be inspired by love and to pass that love on to others.

Goodbye sweet Emmitt. We love you!

Sue, Pearl & Daisy

February Giveaway Week 3

2011-02-23T09:24:00.000-08:00

Pearl here!

I am happy to sit under this chair draped in a blankie but Mommy says it's time for our third and final giveaway this month.

This week we're giving away a whole stuffie diaroama! (Mommy isn't sure she spelled that word right...hmmm...don't ask moi).

Now, normally Daisy and I aren't crazy about squirrels because they run through our yard but this one is okay. He just sits with his acorn and mushroom and minds his own business. We think whoever wins him will find him a good friend - or least not one who is going to eat all the bird seed in your backyard (so far we haven't seen him eating a thing which is kind of weird but kind of good too since he's not trying to eat our food).

To enter the contest, leave a comment on this post anytime up until Sunday at midnight. On Monday, me and my creepy sister will randomly choose a winner.

Happy last weekend of February everyone!

Lovely & delicious!

2011-02-22T12:14:00.000-08:00

Whoo-hoo! Our friend Jemima sent us all these wonderful gifties for winning a giveaway on her blog! Aren't they wonderful presies? We got a pink ball, a puggie calendar, two sausage dogs stuffies and something yummyliscious.

Let's get a closer sniff at the treats. Mmmm...yummmmm...

Well, hello, there pinkie. How are you?

Mind if we bite your bum?

We hope not because there's a lot more bum biting to come.

Thank you so much Jemima for the great giveaway and all our lovely gifties!

February Giveaway Week 2 - WINNER!!!!

2011-02-20T10:02:00.000-08:00

Daisy here!

Our regular staff assistant - Mommy - has been busy doing things like marking papers (geesh! Enough of the papers already Mommy!) so we asked Daddy to help us pick a winner from last week's giveaway.

And the winner is...

Klaus and Natty from Two Pugs in a Pod! Congratulations! Please email us at pearlanddaisy at gmail dot com with your snail mail address and we will send out your owlie!

Until the final giveaway this week, we're just going to soak us some rays. We've had enough of winter!

February Giveaway Week 2

2011-02-15T09:20:00.000-08:00

Mommy always tells us that she couldn't love us more but we thought that maybe she could love us more if we were also owls.

But Mommy said no because the thought of puggies flying was scary to her.

Anyhoohoo, Mommy loves us and loves owls so she's giving away an owl for this weeks' February Giveaway!

To enter the giveaway, leave a comment sometime before Thursday at midnight. On Friday, me and my sister will randomly choose a winner.

2011-02-11T16:34:00.001-08:00

We dipped into our old photos and found this - Pearl from 10 years ago when we lived in Texas:

And this one of Daisy when she was a couple of months old. I had emailed the breeder to ask if they had any pictures. This is what they sent. The hubbie and I had been undecided about getting another dog but when we got this...well...you know what happened.

Daisy got her stitches out today! We are all so relieved. She hadn't been wearing the "punishment ring" (how she thinks of it) all the time. We put it on her when we weren't home or at night - times when she goes in her crate. It was hard to get her in and out of the crate with the donut on so life can now go back to normal. Yayz!

We have a winner!

2011-02-10T15:29:00.000-08:00

Daisy here!

I have some excitings news! Earlier today, Mommy and I wrote out the names of people who entered our contest this week. We put each name on a separate piece of paper.

Then we folded each paper up and put them into my bed:

Then I stepped into my bed and Mommy picked up the first piece of paper I stepped...and...drum roll please...Lorenza won!

Lorenza, please email us pearlanddaisy at gmail dot com and we will send you your kitty cat!

Thanks to everyone for playing! Don't forget to check in next Monday when we have our second February give away. Here is a hint to what we will be giving away: hoohoo

Wonderful Crocheted Cookies!

2011-02-09T14:51:00.001-08:00

Pearl here!

We won some adorable cookies from Auntie Melissa and Emmitt. But I don't think we can trust Daisy with them. I mean look at her eyes - she's just waiting to eat them. And they are not for eating. They are for cuteness which Daisy and I know a lot about - since we are pretty cute (yeah, even Daisy).

So, Mom, just let me watch over the cookies. 'K?

Giveaway!

2011-02-07T14:16:00.000-08:00

Mom! Come on! It's time to tell everyone about the giveaway this month! Can't you see how excited I am? I even knocked my bed over.

It's time for" It's the Month Mom is Getting Older/Daisy's Lump Was Nothing" giveaway or as Mommy likes to call it "February" giveaway.

So what are we giving away to celebrate? Stuff! That Mommy has made!

Okay, last year Mommy became addicted to crochet. Recently, she's been crazy about making little yarn animals called "amigurumi" - sounds yummy but don't eat them! Each week for the rest of the month, Mommy is going to give away a different amigurumi she's made. This week she's giving away this:

Yeah, I know. It's kind of awful because it's a CAT. Can you believe Mommy made a cat? But she did.

To enter the contest, all you need to do is a leave a comment on this post - you can do it anytime up until Wednesday at midnight. After that time, Mommy will collect all the names and put them into a basket and then Daisy or I will randomnly choose a winner.

That's it!

Aw, Mom, not now!

2011-02-06T10:29:00.000-08:00

What's that, Mom? You want us to tell our friends about our super duper - "It's the Month Mom is Getting Older/Daisy's Lump Was Nothing" Giveaway that is starting this week?

But, Mom, can't you see I'm sleeping in the closet? Can't you ask Daisy?

Uh, oh. Looks like Daisy isn't much more awake than I am. I guess I can't blame her. It was a stressful week waiting for the results of her biopsy.

But she's all clear! Dr. G. said it was a "localized growth" and that it was kind of like a big wart under her skin. Well, that fits because Daisy is just a like big wart herself.

But anyhoodlies...we're a bit too sleepy today to talk about the giveaway, but tomorrow we'll be sure to tell you all the details and maybe even start giving away stuff!

My new inner tube

2011-02-01T09:13:00.001-08:00

Daisy here!

So my life just keeps getting weirders and weirders but now it's BETTER than before because I got rid of the stupid cone of shame and gots this: my new inner tube. Now I has to wonder if Mommy has lost all her marbles just like Dr. G. I mean, Mommy! It's not time to go to the beach and play with my inner tube in the waters! (that is what we do with inner tubes, right?)

But it's okay. Better than okay because this new inner tubey feels much better. My neck was all red and sore from the cone. This is much cozier. I wants to thank my friends over at Southern Fried Pugs for telling Mommy about this tubey.

But I still say I'm not going to the beach. Unless it's in Aruba.

My terribles life

2011-01-29T10:37:00.000-08:00

Daisy here.

As you can see, I'm not a happy puggie.

It all started yesterdays...

I woke up, ate my breakie, went outside with my sister, then played with Daddy. But then something weird happened. I got taken to see my vet, Dr. G. Usually, I don't mind going to see Dr. G since I go every 3 weeks to have my bum squeezed but yesterday was way different!

This time I went there and they LEFT ME!!!!!! I waited and waited until after the lunches and then Dr. G gave me something that made me feel real sleepy. Next thing I knew, I wokes up to THIS!!!! The horribles collar around my neck. What was Dr. G thinking?!

I'm having a hard times doing everything. I bumped into Mommy's calves about 20 times already because I can't tell how bigs I am with the collar. Mommy had to put carrots on my water bowl so I would drink out of it. Mommy says, too, that I am acting exactly the way I act when I wear clothes - I just sit down and look terribly terribles - exactly the way I feels with this dumb thing around my neck.

The list of terrible terribles goes on. I can't play. I can't go up and down the stairs. I have to have my leg wiped dry every time I come in from the back yard! And I get snow in the collar because it's stupid. And I can't lick anyone's feet!

Even though the collar is the worst, you wouldn't believe what I discovered - Dr. G also shaved my front leg and put some stitches in it, the kind Mommy uses to stitch up her crochet stuffed animals. I think Dr. G has gone off the rails.

So you can see how terribles my life is now. Mommy says I have to keep the collar on for 2 whole weeks. That's like 75 sleeps to a puggie!

But there is one good thing about my lifes and that's my wonderful bloggy friends. Thanks for all your comments and helping Mommy feels better yesterday. She said she aged 10 years over the past couple of days which isn't great because she's so old already!

Mommy also wants me to tell you that Dr. G said the thing they took out of my leg (what?!! they took something out of me?!) doesn't look like anything to be worried about - but Mommy is going to worry anyway until they tell her for sure that was nothing serious. We should find out by the end of next week. Until then I am just going to curl up on the couch. Wake me when this stupid collar is off!

Sick with worry

2011-01-28T07:59:00.001-08:00

This is Sue, pug mommy to Pearl & Daisy. I'm sitting here sick with worry because we found a lump on Daisy's leg last night. Thank goodness for our wonderful vet. He was able to see her right away this morning.

He doesn't know what it is and gave us a few suggestions for what to do. We chose to have the lump removed and biopsied. She's having her surgery this afternoon and I will pick her up later today. She's going to have wear a collar for a little while so she doesn't lick her leg - she's not going to like that! But we'll manage - treats will help I'm sure.

And then we wait for the results. Oh, boy. it's going to be a rough couple of days.

Here's a picture I took of sweet Daisy earlier this week playing with her zeeba:

Mystery Shirt

2011-01-27T15:51:00.000-08:00

Pearl here!

When Daddy went back to work after Christmas vacation, there was a present for him. He wasn't sure who it was from but he had a sneaking suspicion it was from nice students named Tristan and Nick because it was from the Seattle Pug Rescue and they both come from Seattle.

You can't read it in the picture but it says Seattle Pug Rescue on the needle thingy (Mommy thinks it's called the Space Needle but she could be totally wrong)

But even though they left the package at his office, he didn't think the shirt was from him because it was a small. So he brought it home and we had a good sniff.

I even tried it on thinking that it might be for one of us. But nope. As you can see, it was too big.

We think they left the shirt for Mommy which is super duper because 1) Mommy loves pugs and 2) Mommy loves shirts!

So thank you Tristan and Nick! What a nice surprise.

The true Pearl

2011-01-18T07:50:00.000-08:00

Daisy here!

So's everybody thinks that my sister, Pearl, is a sweet puggie who likes to lie around on her teddy chair.

But the truth is, my sister is a stone cold KILLA!!! See? I haves photographics evidence.

And I LOVES it!!!! I bonk Pearly on the face to get her to play with me. Then she attacks the poop out of me.

Mommy likes it when we play, too, as long as I don't run between her legs and almost knock her down (gee, Mom, you should try it down here. It's fun!)

Oh, no, Canada

2011-01-06T14:23:00.000-08:00

Pearl here.

Daddy is very sad today because Canada lost the gold medal game last night at the World Junior Hockey Championship.

(btw - not Daddy. He's one of the players.)

We think Daddy needs cheering up. Mommy found this cute little owl on the internet. She's cuckoo crazy for owls these days. This guy is a part of a bigger picture that she is using for her screensaver.

But come to think of it, Daddy's not so crazy about owls. I think what he needs is a kiss from Daisy. She's always ready to give one.

I don't like being kissed by Daisy, but I bet it would fix Daddy's sadness. Or at least it would give her someone else to kiss besides me! I'd say that's killing two birds with one stone but Mommy won't like any birds being killed especially if they are owls.

Pearl here!

So the weather in Rochesters has been downright Canadian!!!! It wasn't winter and then all of a sudden...it was.

Look at our backyard:

Daisy didn't even want to go outside.

I didn't want to go out this morning either and that's why I left Mommy some lovely shart work -four original works scattered around the house.

Daisy and I have pretty much decided that this weather is for the birds, so we're going to just snuggle with the Mommy.

But Mommy says no more shart work! I'll see what I can do.

I's just lying here keeping cozy and thinking that my pugsistant (Mommy!) needs to get working on Christmas cards! We took pictures way back when it was still warm and there wasn't any snow and now we have Christmas cards to send to our friends!

2010-11-28T14:30:00.000-08:00

Uh, Mom, who is that?! Is she a new baby sister?

She doesn't smell like a baby sister.

And up close, she really doesn't look like a puggy. She looks more like a crochet blankie.

Turns out, the new puggy isn't my new sister! Phewf. She is crocheted toy Mommy made. I wonder if she'd mind if I chewed on it?

(Mommy's note: I didn't create the pattern. I bought it on Etsy from a seller named Jaravee. She has all kinds of cute doggie crochet patterns)

2010-11-02T09:58:00.000-07:00

Pearl here.

This is me on Halloweenies:

And this is Daisy:

See the difference? I'm dressed up as a chicken and she's dressed up as...Daisy! Mommy tried putting a costume on her but Daisy acted like she was having teeth pulled so Mommy decided to stop the torture. But I had to wear my costume for at least 5 minutes! But that was it. Finally, I took matters into my own paws.

"Mommy, get this thing off of me!"

"Whew. That's better. Now don't even think of putting that chicken head back on me."

Now that the trauma of Halloweenies is behind us, we're off to Mommy's work today! Mommy says it's for "educational purposes" whatever that is but we know it's all about the loving and treats!

Uh-oh. Halloweenie

2010-10-31T11:59:00.000-07:00

Daisy here.

It's that time of year again when puggies get 'fraided because Mommy puts on funny clothes and hair and we can't even tell it's her! This year Mommy said she was the Red Queen but we don't get thats either because Pearl is the only queen in the house...

Even Auntie Maria got in on the act. Very scawy.

Sheesh. What's a pug to do? At least no one made me put on a costume today.

(Mommy's note: ...yet!)

Happy Halloweenies!

Puppy Pearl

2010-10-01T09:46:00.000-07:00

Pearl here!

I used to have my own web site until Mommy changed the internets and now it's gone. But to celebrate my birthday a couple of weeks ago, Mommy said I could post stuff that used to be on my web site. So I decided to share some of my old diary entries and some puppy pictures!

March 12, 2000
Today we went for a drive in our new car. Mommy says the car is "sandalwood". Daddy says the car is "brown." I think the car is cozy except when it's hot and then the car is like the inside of the bbq.

April 21, 2000
We went to the Dinosaur State Park today. It wasn't such a great trip. There were huge monsters in front of the gift shop. Daddy said they were pretend dinosaurs but I barked and barked to warn everybody anyway. Everyone was laughing so hard, I don't think they heard me.

I liked the park better than the scary monsters except when I fell into some big puddles by the river. Daddy must have been scared too because he was shrieking like a Girl Guide with a squirrel in her tent. When I finally finished splashing and racing through the puddles at high speed , I looked at Daddy. He was covered in mud. He must have fallen into the puddles, too.

The worst part of the day was not at the Dino State Park at all but another place called "Fossil Rim". I don't know what a "fossil" or a "rim" is but I think they mean "big, scary bird that is going to peck through the car window and eat you." We drove around in our car for a million hours while all sorts of scary animals with horns and teeth came up to the car for food. Daddy fed the animals while Mommy shrieked and rolled her window up. I was pretty brave except when something called an "emu" came to the window. That thing was the scariest thing I had seen all day besides the monsters at the Dinosaur Park. I barked and barked and told Mommy and Daddy to drive away VERY FAST but they were laughing pretty hard at something so I don't think they heard.

February 3, 2001
Dear Diary, I am sorry I haven't written in so long, but Christmas came!

March 22, 2001
We drove all the way to Oklahoma today. I think Oklahoma must be somewhere in Canada, though, because it's so far. I tried to sleep most of the way, but Mommy and Daddy kept waking me up. They were singing their guts out. If I was the kind of dog that howled, I would have howled. Instead, I licked my pillow.

March 23, 2001
I liked Oklahoma! I especially liked our room because there were stairs which Mommy couldn't block off. She tried putting a cooler in front of them, but I just jumped right over it. I ran all the up the stairs and under the bed where some nice lady had left a bunch of plastic beads. I ate a few before Mommy came and got me.

I also liked our room because there was this huge fish in it. Usually, I like fish a lot - Mommy used to give me tuna when she wanted me to do something. Then she gave up and now she lets me do whatever I want. Except she didn't want me chewing on this fish. She said it was a "decoration". I think it should have been "lunch".

March 24, 2001
Before we drove home from Oklahoma, we went to the beach. I went into the lake and drank three bellies full of water. Mommy got bitten by some big bugs and Daddy unloaded and loaded the car. I had fun eating all the stuff on the beach - sand, garbage, and rocks, but Mommy said she would rather have all her toe nails removed than stay another minute.

My bff Baby and other doggie newsies

2010-09-21T07:43:00.000-07:00

Pearl here!

Thank you to all my friends for the wonderful birthday wishes! I had a very good birthday - though I could have used a few more cookies (but then I always can!).

My bff, Baby, had a TERRIBLE weekend though. She had to go to the SPA to get prettified. I've never been to the spa but Baby is a Pekingese (Mommy had to look up how to spell that word!) and she needs her fur brushed and fluffed. But all of the torture was worth it because she turned out looking BEE-YOO-TEE-FUL. She even had her picture taken and then the picture was posted on Facebook (we prefer Dogbook but whatever). And here she is!

Pretty cute, eh?

In other doggie news, the band called OK Go (which confuses us. Where are they going? To the dog park? To the vets? And when are they going? Now? Tomorrow?) has a new video out. Even though there aren't any puggies in the video, we think it's pretty funny and great:

Happy birthday Pearl!

2010-09-17T12:42:00.000-07:00

Today is Pearl's 11th birthday! To celebrate, over the next few weeks we will post some old diary entries from when she was a puppy (and from her old web page).

But for today I just want to say that words cannot express how much I love this little puggie. Each day she continues to bring me so much happiness and fill my life with a love that I never imagined before getting her.

So thank you Pearly! Your mommy loves you very much!!!!!

Cleaning up our act

2010-09-01T09:17:00.000-07:00

Daisy here!

Mommy meant to do this post months ago but summer was sooooo busy that she kept running out of time. But we're excited to tell our story today!

Back in the spring a very nice lady at Seventh Generation cleaning stuffs sent us a box! Me and my sister were so excited, asking, "What is this Mom?"

I wanted to lick our presies because I wuv to lick everything! But big sister told me not to.

Even though licking wouldn't hurt me, the cleaning stuffs probably wouldn't tastes too good. When Pearl was a puppy she used to follow Mommy into the bathroom on cleaning days and she would try to lick the shower stall or floor or whatever else Mommy had cleaned. Mommy was worried because she didn't want Pearl getting sick so she bought some Seventh Generation bathroom cleaner. Then if Pearl licked up after cleaning, it wouldn't be toxic or dangerous.

So when the lady at Seventh Generation sent us all this stuff, we couldn't have been happier! Mommy has been using the stuff all summer. She especially loves the lemony-thyme smell of everything and the nice fresh wipes. Mommy also loves that they are all safe for doggies and for peoples, too!

Big sister says these are puggie approved products that she can stand behind! (or...um...at least sit!)

Thank you Seventh Generation for keeping us clean and safe!

So close and yet so far

2010-08-13T16:17:00.000-07:00

Pearl here!

When Mommy came out today to take pictures of us, I sat nicely, posing in the grass.

Meanwhile my sister ate grass...

...made faces...

...and looked liked the hunchback pug of Notre dame:

Proving once again, what a creepy little sister is. And to think that we nearly got rid of her yesterday!

See, when we were at the dog park yesterday this little 5 year old girl went CRAZY over Daisy. She held out her hands saying, "I want her!!!" and even followed us to the car where Mommy let her hug and kiss Daisy while Mommy strapped me into my seat belt. The little girl even asked "Do you like her?" I tried saying, "NO! Please take her off our hands." But Mommy kept telling her that we were keeping her. Geesh. The little girl tried and tried but in the end, Mommy didn't give Daisy to her. Bummer.

Mommy says I would be sad if Daisy went to live somewhere else and I say, "heck no!". But then I think about the times when I get to bite her butt and use her for warmth when it's cold out and then maybe, okay, yeah, I can see that I might miss her a little if she wasn't here. But only a little.

Just add water

2010-07-27T07:33:00.001-07:00

Daisy here!

Mommy took this picture of me the other day:

And said I reminded her of this:

She said he's called a "gremlin" and he turns real cranky and mean when he gets wet. That doesn't happen to me. When I get my bath my tail uncurls and I look at Mommy wondering why she is torturing me like that.

Mommy also said that you don't even need to add water to me to make into this version of the gremlin. All you need to do is have Daddy running around the house playing with me.

One day she's going to videotape it and show everyone the proof.

Technical Difficulties

2010-07-01T08:27:00.000-07:00

Daisy here.

The other day when we were visiting Toronto, I discovered something awful and said, "Wake up Mommy! All the pictures on our blog are GONE!!!!!"

When she didn't wake up (she was really tired. She and Daddy walked about a bazillion miles that day), I said, "Look Mommy!!! Can't you see how worried I am?!!! You need to wake up NOW!!!"

Luckily, she got up after that. She learned that why we don't have any pictures on our blog is that the people who we had been buying internet from (that's how it works, right?), shut our service down without our permission!!!! Mommy and Daddy had gotten new people to come and give us internet and phone last week. Those people told our old internet people about the phone but then they just went and disappeared EVERYTHING! Mommy and Daddy were not expecting that. They thought they needed to call the old company to cancel especially because they were still paying for the internets.

Mommy figured out that she has to find all the pictures she can on her computer and put them on a new place on the internets so they can be back on the blog but it might be a few days before she gets that all done.

In the mean time, here is a picture of my most amazings sister:

We hopes everyone is having a very good summer!

It really nice to go out into the back yard and chomp on the salad bar Daddy made for me. Mommy says she doesn't like seeing it come out the other end so much because she sometimes has to help (oooh, Mommy says I maybe shouldn't tell that part of it!), but I loves me my salad bar so much.

Thanks Daddy! I think I'm full now!

For Daddy

2010-05-10T15:16:00.000-07:00

We've had a busy week. We went to the dog park twice and both times there were no dogs on the little dog side so we went on the big dog side! We didn't like it so much. We were scared of the big guys and then Mommy got scared when one of them started barking at her. She's not used to big scary barking dogs so next time we think we'll stick to the small dog side even if no one is there.

Then I went to school with Mommy! She was giving a lecture on learning and so she showed the class how great I am at eating treats. Oh, wait. She said no, that wasn't what we were showing the class. Anyway...I ate treats and visited with the students and got lots of love. It was great. I think every day should be bring your pug to work day.

Daddy's team has been working hard this week trying to beat our friends' Martha and Bennie's team the Penguins (sorry Martha and Bennie!). But tonight could be the last night if the Penguins win. Since we already made an awesome good luck poster for the Canadiens, we thought tonight we would "talk some smack" (Mommy told us that's what it's called) about the Penguins (again sorry Martha & Bennie!).

Even though we loved Syd the Kid Crosby when he was playing for Canada in the Olympics, now, not so much.

Our friend Salinger gave us a great idea when he called Sydney "Cindy" so we made this.

Don't break a nail, Cindy (that's the smack part!) and please, please, PLEASE don't beat the Canadiens or Daddy will be very sad.

Love,
Pearl

Go Habs go!!!

Daddy has been having a good week! It was his birfday and I made him this bowl (Mommy helped me a bit). My sista is giving it a good sniff!

But then his favorite hockeys team the Montreal Canadiens beat another team last week so that now they are playing against Pittsburg! Wherever that is! I don't cares too much about the hockeys but my daddy sure loves it a lot and he sure loves his Canadiens almost as much as me!!! Because Daddy loves the Canadiens so much we want them to win so me and my sista are sending good pug luck the Canadiens!!!!

Love,
Daisy

We got the nicest surprise! As a thank you to Daisy sending our friend Brigitte the sweater Mommy made for her, Brigitte and her Mom sent us a super-duper, pugalicious box. Do you see our names? And the name of our blog? How pawesome is that?!!!

We had to check it out thoroughly, then Daisy just decided to lie next to our beautiful new box and groom.

By djpugmama at 2010-06-30

Speaking of grooming, our friends also sent us some that fantastic dog soap they use! Though it smells yummy, we're afraid this means we're going to have to baths soon - but we think this soap is going to change our minds about baths!

2010-04-26T15:09:00.000-07:00

Our friends Wilma, Sluggo and Brigitte were just blogging about bath day and it made us think about baths and how much we hate them. Here is the evidence:

See how unhappy we are? Yeah, it's a tough pug life especially when we have to be put in in sink, covered with soap and then soaked with water.

So you'll never believe what we learned!!!!! A nice lady named Rebecca in Nova Scotia (which means she's Canadian like Mommy and Daddy) has a natural soap company called...drum roll please!!!!...Pearl & Daisy Natural Soap Company. Look! The soap even has our names on it!

Isn't that awesome? But Rebecca's Pearl & Daisy aren't the same as Mommy's Pearl & Daisy (us!). They are her great-grandmother and aunt.

Even though they look nothing like us, they are very beautiful.

Well, after learning about all this, Mommy says she needs to buy some Pearl and Daisy soap which is great and all that. We just hope she doesn't get any ideas about using it on US!!!!

Early Recycled St. Paddy's Day Greeting

2010-03-16T16:24:00.001-07:00

Mommy is a big lazy bones and so instead of making us a brand NEW St. Patrick's day greeting for tomorrow, she's recycling an old one she made a couple of years ago. Sheesh. If we had thumbs we'd make our own...but then if we had thumbs we'd opening the cupboard and eating all the kibble so we probably wouldn't have time to make any e-greetings!!!

Flowers and pokey plants

2010-03-13T09:00:00.000-08:00

It's spring! It's wet! Our dog group is marching in the St. Patty's day parade today but we don't march or do rain so we're at home snuggling.

Last weekend, Mommy and Daddy went to see some flowers and pokey plants at Sonnenburg Gardens & Mansion . Mommy got some new close up lenses for her camera so she took a lot of pictures. We don't really care about flowers unless we can eat them but Mommy had fun.

Mommy loved the flowers so much and couldn't wait for spring to put some in our yard so she bought a little batch and brought them home. We checked them out but Mommy wouldn't let us eat them. Rats.

Our new sweaters

2010-02-23T11:55:00.000-08:00

A couple of weeks ago in Mommy's crochet class she learned how to make Granny Squares. We thought they sounded yummy like treats you bake in the oven, but no they are little squares of yarn. Well, that's even better because she found a patten online for an Urban Granny Dog Sweater - which we think should be renamed the Urban Granny PUG Sweater - but anyhoo...so this past weekend Mommy crocheted us up our first sweaters! If you're wondering why Daisy looks so crabby in her sweater, it's because she's not crazy about wearing sweaters. Mommy may have to give Daisy's away but she had so much making mine, she wanted to make another.

We hope you're all staying warm! We sure are!
Love,
Pearl
