Pug Day in the Lab

Pearl here!

Last week, Mommy got me and my sister all ready and put us in the car.

Us: "Where are we going, Mom?"

Mommy: "You'll see. It's surprise."



Oh, great! We love surprises. As long as it's not a surprise visit to the groomers to get our nails done or a surprise visit to the vets to get our anal glands drained.

But no! This was a good surprise! We went to see Daddy at work in the big place called "oonivercity" where Daddy does all sorts of important stuff like eat lunch and play raquetball. First, we had to walk down a long important hallway.


Then I stopped to take my picture with some important banner.


After that we went up to Daddy's lab where we visited with some of the nice students who work there.


And then the best thing in the world happened! Dr. Jeff, an important scientist at the oonivericty, got a hold of Daisy and attached thingies to her head!!!


Daisy wasn't too sure about it but I was like, "Yes!!! Do whatever important science things you want to my stinky sister!"


When she was all hooked up, Dr. Jeff showed us that Daisy's brain actually worked. Ha. Could have fooled me.


After all that hard work and visiting, it was time for treats. I, of course, got first dibs from Dr. Jeff.


Then Daddy shared an apple with me and my sister the Stinkmeister.


After that we were pretty much done for dinner.


Which reminded us "Hey, it's time to eat!" So Mommy brought us home but we're sure it won't be long before we'll go back to visit Daddy at work where they can do more science stuff to Daisy!

Daisy here!

We went away last weekend and we knew we were going far because we had to go in our crates.


When we got to our hotel room, Pearl relaxed, but I was so excited to be on vacation, I played.




But then I got tired and relaxed too - on the blankie Mommy brought for us. She thinks of everything, that Mommy!


You'd think we'd had enough relaxing but Pearl had even more relaxing to do. This time she rested on the big bed - I still don't go on the big bed. It's for Mommy and Daddy and big sister.


While we were resting, Mommy and Daddy actually went out! To a museum! It was called the Corning Museum of Glass and was only a 5 minute walk from our hotel.

Mommy and Daddy saw lots of cool things in the museum and they were all made of glass! That's pretty cool but I think it would have been even better if everything had been made of kibble or bananas...yummmmm...




Our parents got to make their own glass things by blowing into a long tube. Mommy said she's going to put what they made on the Christmas tree. Me and Pearl will have to be careful not to knock them off!




On the way home we stopped at Watkins Glen State Park where there are all these cool gorges, but they wouldn't let us puggies in. They said some doggies don't like people and some people don't like doggies (yikes!) and because the paths are skinny there could be people-doggie showdowns. We didn't want that so we were glad to get back in the car and snooze all the way home.

My new bed!

Pearl here!

Mommy thinks I love the new bed I got for Christmas in July. She even has what she calls "photographic proof". I'm not sure what that means except I know she's been taking a lot of pictures of me in my new bed.

Here's one from Thursday:


One from Friday morning:


And Friday afternoon (I wasn't too happy with my little stinky sister climbing in with me as you can see by my face):


And Sunday morning:


After seeing all the "evidence", I think Mommy is right - I do love my new bed!

Mom went to Target

Pearl here!

There's a new Target right down the road. Though I've never been to Target, Mommy says it's da bomb! She went there the other night and bought us these:



They are harness vests which means they are both a harness AND a vest! Great, huh?!

Yeah, we weren't so sure about them either at first but Mommy just loves them so they must be good. She says we can wear them in the rain (what the heck?! We don't go out in the rain!!!) and when it's a bit chilly outside. Mommy says they are made of "reflective" material too so everyone will see us. Well, we LOVE that so we're giving two paws up to our new Target vests!
