PTEPD

Daisy here!

As you can see, my life is pretty terribles. A couple of weeks ago when my brother and I were playing, my corny-ah got scratched. I've been taking medicines and drops and have to wear the stupid cone. I had a follow up appointment with my doctor on Fridays and my eye isn't healing so well so I needs to go to the special eye doctor.

I also gots PTEPD - Post Traumatic Eye Poke Disorder which means that my life is just extra terribles.

And on top of it, I didn't get a single piece of Halloween candy.

Let's go!

Hey Mommy! Looks like a nice day out there - want to go for a walk?

Vote for moi!

Finnegan here! Mommy has been dragging her butt and slow to post this but I am in the running to be featured as March photo for the Mid-Atlantic Pug Rescue's 2015 calendar! Please vote for me! (Since Mommy was such a slow poke there are only a few days left. Bad Mommy!) Go to the MAPR voting page to vote (you have to vote for each month, not just March): http://www.freewebs.com/mapr/calendarvotepage.htm

I like to play!

Finnegan here!

I like to play. And romp and run. And then play some more. In between, I like to have my nummy nums or treats. And then I get right back to playing!

No more True Blood!

So this is what Mommy thinks about this being the last season of one of her favorite shows:

Mmmm...cheese

Introducing...Finnegan!

Daisy here.

So my life totally sucks. Just as I was getting used to being an only child, Mommy went and brought this little creep home. They call him "Finnegan" but I call him LJ for Little Jerk.

He probably looks so happy in the photo because he just got finished biting my bum. That's what he does and I don't like it. So we're trying to teach him not to but boy he is stubborn!

Mommy says I was just like him when I was a puppy but I am sure that is a load of lies. I was a perfect puppy. Always doing what my Mommy asked and never bugging Pearl.

He thinks he's pretty special, too, posing for the camera whenever Mommy gets it out. Sheesh. Doesn't he know she takes like a bazillion and you don't need to pose?

Sweet Pearl

It's the pug mama, Sue, here. It's been quite awhile since I've updated the blog. Partly because I was very busy with work and life, but mostly because we lost our sweet Pearl back in March and I just couldn't seem to bring myself to post here about it.

It's been a few months now since she passed and I still miss her every single day. I have a feeling I am always going to miss my sweet puggie. But I am so grateful for the time we got to spend together. That darling pug was my first dog as an adult and I could not have asked for a better companion and friend. I never knew how much you could love a dog until I got Pearl.

I'm also grateful that though she had some health issues in the past few years, she was relatively healthy until the very end. I'm so glad we got to spend the last winter together. We had fun together up until the last few days when her illness got severe.

RIP my darling Pearl. My life was made better because you were in my life and you will always be in my heart.

An oldie but not a goodie

Pearl here!

Well, I was not happy to find this picture of me on mommy's computer. What the heck was she thinking putting a sock on my head?! I can't remember because this picture was taken a very long time ago. Maybe when I was about 5.

I think to make up for such sock abuse, mom should take me out in my sled again. We went out a few weeks ago to the big park, but the snow hasn't been so good lately. So mom, make it snow!!! And then take me sledding.

Helping out a friend

Our dear friend Tweedles had some very serious health issues recently which meant she had to have some scary surgeries. She is doing much better now but her vet bills were very very high. Some very kind ladies - Ann of Zoolatery and Marg of Marg's Animals - have a blog they have set up to help animals in need. They have set up a lovely auction to help raise money for Tweedles' family to help pay for the surgeries she had.

There are some wonderful items up for bid! Stop by and see if there is anything that catches your eye. Then bid and bid often!

Our new sled!

Pearl here!

So Santy Paws brought us a lovely red sled as an early Christmas present. I think it's pretty awesome especially since Mommy gives us treats to sit it in. Here she is coaxing us in:

And guess who was the good girl and stayed in the sled while Mommy pulled it? Me!!! So I guess I will be getting more treats.

No nails thanks

Pearl here.

Today Mommy told us we had to go to the groomer's to get our nails done and we said, "No thanks. We'll just sit here together." (even though I really don't like sitting in the same bed as my sister, sometimes a pug's gotta do what a pug's gotta do)

Mommy didn't listen. We had to go and get tortured anyway. At least we got treats and a nice new stuffie guy for Christmas!

Snow what

Daisy here!

So the other day, I was pretty worrieds as you can see by my face here.

Mom & Dad got me all ready and we took a drive. But where were we going?

I had to keep an close eye out especially when Dad took a detour and stopped at the grocery store (I got to sit on Mom's lap while we waited! That was pretty exciting because they always make me sit in the back with my seat belt on.)

Then finally, we drove here:

Can you guess? It's the park! And it was about a million degrees below zero! Even though I have a very thick coat and my body was nice and warm, my little paws got cold on the snow so Mom picked me up and took me back to the road. Whew. Much better.

Mom says she wishes I'd wear little booties and I say, "Mom, you're a crazy lady. No way am I wearing booties."

But I would like a nice little sled. Santa? Are you listening?

Cloud nine

Daddy couldn't believe Mommy came home with another bed for me the other day. He said we already have too many, but Mommy saw this and couldn't resist. I have pretty much been in this bed since she brought it home. Dad calls it the lifeboat or dinghy but I call it "Cloud Nine".

Pointy buildings and scary fish

Hello! Pearl here.

Can you tell where we were last week?

Toronto! Daisy and I didn't get to see this pointy building that costs about a thousand dollars to take to the top.

But we did enjoy the place we rented while there. Well, I was enjoying it on my own:

Until Daisy snuggled up onto my space. Good grief. Look how big she looks - a big GOOF that is.

I had to tell Mom to put me in the bed where Daisy won't go.

While we were relaxing Mom and Dad went see these guys at the new aquarium (Dad has talked about getting an aquarium. I sure hope he never gets fish like this for it - there will be no kibble left because you can tell by just looking at these two that they are piggies)

Mom really liked the jellyfish display. I think, what's the big deal? It glows and it's stringy. Hmmm...maybe it's good to eat though, right?

Next time, maybe we will go with Mom and Dad to that aquarium and I'll push Daisy into the shark tank. heehee That would teach her not to steal my blankie space!

We have the worst secretary in the whole world

So Pearl here after like 3 billion years. I don't know what the heck our secretary (aka Mom) has been doing these past months but it sure was not giving us lots of treats to stuff our little bellies with so that we gain 10 pounds. And it wasn't updating our blog. Sheesh.

Since our last post, we've gone through a few seasons and now we have our first snow. We kind of like  it but we also need to stay warm so that's what we're doing. Right near the kitchen just in case Mom decides to feed us early.
