Snow????

Wow I am just getting over my nervousness in the yard and outside, I am a very chicken little boy......Why you ask............I don't think my eyesite is that good. I really have nothing to compare it to but sometimes it is a little hazy. And now there is the white stuff falling from the sky. MY FIRST SNOW FALL!!! I really really like it :) I was outside running all about but I have my nose to the ground and I want to gobble every last flake up. It is cold on my lips but oh so wonderful at the same time. Olivia and I had a great play time out there today in the snow. It is not deep yet and I hear that it gets hard to run in when it gets thicker. Oh looking forward to this whole month as it is my first Christmas too. Wonder what they are going to get us :) Mum is knitting us sweaters too right now. Cant wait.

Balls

Well guess what...I was at the vet's yesterday for my shots ~ most frightning experience!! I was so scared. But anyways.....................................I have both my testicles now!!! One was hiding and the vets were getting worried but it is there now! Yippee!!! But I found out too that they won't be with me for long..............................maybe till mid January and then I'm once again visiting the nice vet lady but after my little surgery she won't be so nice

Pizza people almost took us away!!!

OK Cristy & Gregory ordered pizza the other nite, the lady who delivered it said what cute dogs we were. Cristy said that we're a pain in the As$ sometimes and she was going to give us away....just kidding of course. Then a bit later the same lady came to the door with her husband and he asked which one of us she was giving away.....SCARY STUFF!!!!!! STUPID PEOPLE!!!! Like she would give us away, NOT, MUM WOULD SLAUGHTER HER!!! She is a big jokester and I guess the lady really took her seriously. Thank goodness we are safe and sound!!!! Bet that is the last time Cristy will do that!!!

Chicken Chicken Chicken

I am a chicken of most things. I am now learning about this wetness that falls from the sky............it makes me wet on the outside of my fur and i'm not too sure if i like it or not. There has been alot of wind here lately and if I'm out in the yard for my 'business' I am scared when the trees start to shake and make strange noise. I'm actually afraid of most things....wind, noise, and things i have not seen before. I am building up my confidence but it is slow.....it will come though. Now we have this strange thing in the living room -- a Tree with all kinds of things hanging off it and socks hung up on things in the house. So far so good I've stayed away from them. Just observing from a distance.....I hear there will be colorful wrapped items under there though pretty quickly.....sure hope I can resist them. I hear that I am going for shots tomorrow..........EWWWWWWWWWWW not looking forward to it. Not the H1N1 shot though!! Staying away from people that are sick and hoping the family doesn't bring anything home! Talk soon.

The Art of Laziness part 2

OMG our Mum is getting lazy at this blog..........so many things have gone on but no time for us to get on here!!! We are in the rainy season again. It starts and never stops....I hate the rain so much! Glad i've got a nice raincoat to wear when it is time to go out. Mum takes me out, I run as fast as I can to under the trees, pee and poop and come in as fast as I can. We've been to our other house a few times and it is snuggly up there. There is nice heat vents on the walls as the house was built in 1920 and Elliott and I have discovered that when the furnace comes on we get a big blast of warm air. Got to love that!!! We've had Halloween and that was somewhat uneventful! They never even took us to the party. I wanted to get dressed up so bad and go but for some reason we just did not go. Oh well there is always next year. Cristy and Gregory put up the Christmas tree last nite......somewhat premature but sure looks nice. I'll talk mum into taking some pictures soon and putting them up. Even my picture with Santa is up from last year. Boy I have grown!! I've almost lived with my family now for 2 years!!!!! Gee I love them and they all love me! I hope Mum will make me a Christmas dress this year. She is busy knitting hats for everyone so i think that is why she has not let us on here for awhile. Talk to you soon.

The art of laziness....

OK so it has been awhile, seems that the fall has brought on laziness! Even for me at my young age I am learning this age old art! Gotta say I'm loving it. Lazing on the couch watching TV with the family, dark dreary days......what can I say. Well update update right? Well I had my 2nd back of shots, which really is my 3rd set of shots! I don't know how they sucked me into this one....but apparently I was too young when i got the 1st set so it was like pouring water on water with no benefit to me. I still need one more next week then OFF TO THE DOG PARK!!!!!!!!!! My pawrents won't take me till i have had them all done. Ha they expose themselves all the time to people that are walking around with the flu and stuff but i seem to be the protected one. Oh another thing is i had a hot spot when i went for my last shots so i had to walk around with a CONE HEAD! Talk about embarrassing. I love to sniff at the dirt and stuff too so I was using it as a shovel when I sniffed the ground and would toss dirt in my face.........NO NO not on purpose!!!! I'm so glad that is off now~ Have a great day!

I'm Two Today!!

Wow I can't believe it, I'm 2 years old today!!! Mym let me sleep in today and took me for a little walk this morning, not too far cuz it is raining outside. I HATE the rain, I know that is a pretty harsh word.......but it really is how I feel about it. Wonder what is in store for me today, the little Princess.

Just wait till Dad get's home.........

OMG he did it)(*)*&(*(^ The poop is going to hit the fan! Elliott chewed a hole in our pawrents red couch! He got a spank with Mum's slipper which did not even faze on him cuz he went back and did more damage when she was in the shower..........Someone is going to get in trouble na na na boo boo!

What are children?????

OK last nite Mum & Dad took us for a walk..........there was this strange little creature that was person like but smaller built. He was coming at me in the park very slowly with his pawrent and as i got closer I started to get really scared and barked......as I backed up into the comforts of Dad he kept coming at me. Oh my goodness, oh my goodness I was scared. His mum told him to be gentle but i never got a chance to let him touch me. I was so so scared. I am told that after I get my next set of shots that I will be making by weekly trips to some pet store where I am allowed to go and meet these little people as well as other dogs. Eh gadz!!

Dog Dayz of Summer

OK I must admit I've been a bit lazy on here lately....perhaps it is still the nice days that are erupting in the month of September and I can just laze in the sun? Or is it the art of procrastination? Probably the later of the two. Well our trip to the other house last weekend as you heard before was a work weekend......We did help out where we could, chasing lizards in the house, getting in the way, and eating anything and everything we could find on the floor! Lots of good walks between the raindrops up there but all in all a good time. Oh and the clean mountain air made us so sleepy...........ha even sleepy enough for me to let Elliott sleep on me. This week was somewhat of a 'nothing to exciting week' but hey you must have those sometime:) Well here is to a good week!

Another Vet Trip...

Well on Wednesday Mum took Olivia and I to the vet...........oh yes again! This time was just routine. I needed my shots and what a good boy I was. I am getting so big! I am close to 8 pounds now....just 10 pounds smaller than Olivia! The nice lady took my temperature, gave me my shots and did some feeling around and looking me all over, I think she was hitting on me! Well I breath alot out of my mouth, Mum kept saying before there is something wrong with how I breath, guess what............THERE IS! Duh! When I breath I don't get enough oxygen in me, it is like I'm breathing through a crimped straw. When I go in for my man surgery I will also have to have some nasel surgery, this will hopefully give me about 30% more air. I'll be ok though till then. I'm still an active boy. Nothing is going to hold me down from doing the things I like to do. Wooo Wooo another trip in the truck this weekend to our other house!! I can't wait!! The scenery is so great on the way up there....................ya right, I look through the blasted bars in my crate!!! Olivia is spoilt, she gets to sit on Mum's lap.....yes I am green with jelousy about that one! Na it isn't that bad cuz I snuggle up in my bed in the crate and just sleep.........somehow though I think my snoring gets a bit loud. Mum told Dad that she is getting us seatbelt harnesses for next summer and we can ride in the backseat and look out the window. Can't wait for that one...by then I should be able to sit still. What next...a snuggie????

Summer's End

Well this looks like our last weekend of travelling about. We are going away again tomorrow!! Can't wait. I love the car rides, laying in the sun and just spending time with my Pawrents. We're going to our other house. It is great up there, there are so many smells for us to explore....even bear smells. Last year there was bear poop in our yard.......it was a tug a war to keep me out of it. Just to get up there is great and enjoy the fresh air and quiet times. It may be a boring weekend of just observing the work that Mum & Dad are going to do, they are redoing the bathroom floor up there and painting it all pretty. There is an antique bathtub in the house that my Mum would love to redo....I had a bath in it last year and it is sooooooo nice and big. No bubbles though, she saves those for herself. No candles flickering, no bubbles and soft music....just me and the water and the dog shampoo. I want to use those fluffy spa towels and just soak away, lay my head on the bath pillow but no....(she doesn't have the spa towels either so guess i'm really not missing anything. But i can dream can't.

"Crappy" Saturday last week

OMG last Saturday I did not know what was going on. I had the poops!!! EVERYWHERE, EVERY FEW MINUTES.....ummm I think I ate something I should not have. Mum had to wash the floor so many times..I felt bad but had no thought of it at the time. Well it was in the car and to the vets. He was very nice when he first came in. Then as the time past he had this big cotton swab~you guessed it up my butt. This is exit only so what was he thinking!!! I screamed loud. He was getting a swab and testing me for parvo. Thank goodness I did not have it!!! Then again he came at me again to take my temp. This was not an oral temp taker...so we know that I screamed again and again. So he took me in the back, gave me a couple shots. My pawrents could not come with me and I had no one to comfort me. He sent me home with antibiotics......AND YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GET THOSE DOWN MY THROAT....NOT!!! The fight is on trying to get me to take those....I freak freak freak. If it isn't food I'm so not doing it! I'm feeling better now, I was after the vet trip cuz we went to North Bend and I had no more problems. :)

ITCHY......

Why am I so friggin itchy? I have my own views on this but the vet will tell me why on Wednesday.....I've even vomitted cuz it makes me crazy. I'm either allergic to Taz's food which I mentioned before that I sneak...guess there is a good reason why I should not eat it! Or....I picked up some kind of bug when we were trapsing around this summer. Well last weekend was alot of fun in North Bend. I got lazy time in the yard, chilled in the house and somehow managed to wrangle some people food out of everyone. The concert was amazing, I even got to go into the beer gardens and did not get IDed. Did not like the smells in there at all. Had to sit on Dad's lap most of the time as Mum was up dancing a storm with Caroline. But everyone that I did visit was very sociable. The guy in front of us was alone and I kept smelling his arm...then he would turn and smile at me...is this the way to pick up guys?? Taz and Elliott had to stay home, one too young for the beer gardens and the other one just not interested. Quite weekend for the 3 of us this weekend...Mum and Dad have lots of plans but not me :(

Got a waddle...........

Nina Maxwell was relaxing in her luxurious claw footed bathtub listening to the drip of the leaky facet that she had been procrastinating on calling the plumber in to repair. She enjoyed the quiet life right now after the scandal had occurred. Just thinking about it now made her heart skip a beat and the butterflies were still flying in her chest. Sinking lower and lower into the scented waters she let it engulf her as she thought back of the life she had led and what had brought her to this point in her life.

WOW WOW WOW..........wrong story line!! That is the other story I'm writing, OK not me, Mum is. Just wanted to say that thank goodness I was out for 2 long walks today with Mum.....I am starting to waddle....The extra snacks, ice cream and lack of walks is started to see the love handles come on. I passed by the mirror in the bedroom this morning and had to do a double take!! Even with my black coat, which of course is slimming I see a bit of extra weight on me now. My knees are going to collapse if I keep indulging in this lazy life. And who the heck wants back fat!!!! Not me!! Walk on, watch the icecream and be thankful for the cooler weather for my walks.

Dog Day Afternoon

Well the weather is a bit warm today, but not to bad at all. Taz is chillaxing in the backyard, I'm on the arm of the couch (well duh not right now as i'm pawing at the keyboard) and Elliott is in the exercise pen sleeping in the air conditioned kitchen. Not much new, Mum's day off today so I'm almost certain we will go for a nice walk when it cools down tonite. Dad will be home from work in a few hours so snuggle time. I hear we are going away again this weekend and there is a concert in Boston Bar so I'll get to go with my pawrents, can't wait. I love watching all the people there and last time there was a concert the guy that was doing Rod Stewart sang to me............OMG the spot light was on me, everyone turned to look and he was singing Hot Legs to me....I was lapping it all up. Mum got a crazy idea that she is going to make sleeping bags for me and Elliott for camping season next year. I can't wait!!! Guess I will have something pink and Elliott will be camouflage or something with fish on it........I guess it is a guy thing. And I've got a secret................................someone we know is getting a puppy in September, a Golden Retriever. Ha guess they won't be using the little poop bags like us..................can we say industrial size garbage bags? Can't wait to meet her............smiles :) Don't think though that she will make pretty clothes for the puppy our friends are getting cuz it would just look silly cuz she only makes small clothes. She makes all my clothes!!!! Gotta love my Mum xoxox

Play them for FOOLS

Well I haven't been eating much since I got home. So they think I'm not anyways.....not my food but everyone elses food. Now that I can go out in the backyard again and play with Taz I take every oportunity when no one is looking to scarf down his food. I sit there all pretty as I am and as soon as my parents back is turned I creap in to the food dish and take a mouthfull. Dad and Mum have even tried to hand feed me my food, which I absolutely love but I keep turning them down and this is the reason why. I'm pretty smart at all this! When I want water when we are traveling I grab the water bottle that they drink from and I drink from it too so I have them outsmarted in alot of ways. It sure is nice to be home though after being away for a couple weeks. Back into a routine. I know both my parents are going to be tired tonite as they both go back to work today.................oh the goodlife that Taz, myself and Elliott have! It's a dogs life.

The 2nd Week

Finally out of Mosquitoville!!! I had to bundle all up and look like ET sitting in the chair just to keep the bugs off me! And smell like I came out of a dryer as Mum kept all three of us tied up with Downy sheets all over us just to try to keep those dam bugs off us. The road coming out of Ross Lake was really rough and from what I've heard it was similar to a roller coaster ride. But leaving was a good thing cuz those bugs were bad bad bad. I got bit in the butt end and everyone thought I got a hemorrhoid from screaming when I could not see Mum but was just a bite. So our driving to the next location, Chain Lake begins. We had to stop in Manning Park for a pee break and that was welcomed by all three of us. It took me forever though cuz there was so much to explore with the Goffer Holes. After we got back in the truck Elliott started wining ab out snacks!! Can you believe that guy...calls me the cry baby and look who is talking. Dad had to pull over and get us all some food. He is such a glutton that my parents had to stop earlier as he ate his two weeks allotment of dog food in one week. You should see the size of his paws!!! He will probably be bigger than me. And we could not get his kind of dog food in Hope so they had to switch him....good thing that we had 150 baggies packed with us as a change of dog food in a puppy takes awhile for the stomach to get use to it. His wait seems to be a bit of a problem....on the way to Chain Lake he moved around too much and toppled over his kennel and he was ass over tea kettle in the back seat narrowly missing Taz. Chain Lake turned out to be another experience~HAIR RAISING. It was windy there, good thing that I don't have a layered cut like Mum as I don't generally use any styling products and would of been a real mess. Dad went fishing in his Pontoon boat and was blown all over. Good thing he had a little motor on it to come back to us. I wish I had a snuggy like Cristy & Gregory do cuz I would have been so snuggy...although Dad gave me his coat and I spent the days under that in the wind. I have figured out that picnic tables and fire pits are a great place for finding food. And tell me what is wrong with eating a half a rotten wiener???? Just when I get it in the mouth there is Mum with her fingers down my throat digging it out. The weather at Chain Lake wasn't the best so it was off to Alleyn Lake. Oh it was so beautiful there. I loved playing on the beach but when it was time to get a drink I walked to the water.....THE TERROR SET IN, MY EYES POPPED OUT, MY HEART WAS BEATING OUT OF MY CHEST....ADAVAN PLEASE!!!! There was quicksand.....I suck up to my chest in mud................I FREAKED.......finally I got a clear head and figured out that I was going to be ok and got myself out of it. I did a case of mistaken identity too when we were there.........the man was walking out of the water, neoprene on, fish cat boat like Dads and he was walking away past our campsite..........ok I started to scream again...Dad come back, where are you going...please I won't walk in the mud again....but he kept going. Mum had to call to Dad in the water to call me so that I would know it wasn't him. Oh what a relief it was that he wasn't walking out on us! Then after a good sleep with the Breath Right Nasal Strips passed around by Taz we were off to North Bend. Oh I liked it there much better this time, think I am getting comfortable now there and know that it is a safe place. Had a great two nights there and Travis my big big brother from Armstrong came and spent the night there with us too. It was so nice to see him. Now I am at home and we are all tired but glad to be home. Home Sweet Home. Tomorrow I hear that we are having a family dinner for Travis as he is here again...what a surprise it was!!

My First Vacation

Let me tell you about my first camping experience...Mum. Dad, Taz, Olivia and I went to Ross Lake...Oh my goodness what a long drive! When we got there my crib was set up for me, people thought that there was a real baby in it. Duh, what do they think that my parents would leave a real baby outside?? No, just little me~they were never far away at all...Mum was a worry wart about taking me camping as I was still very young when we left cuz I was only born on June 9th. It was pretty hot there and I got some experience doing the dog paddle in the lake, was a bit scared at first but was alot of fun and my big sister Olivia was able to show me the ropes on that...she has a life jacket though and I'm still too small for one to fit so guess got to wait till next year. To help keep us cool too the generator was running when it was really hot and Olivia and I had fans on us, boy do we have them wrapped around our fingers! Well I learned that Olivia is a screamer when she cant see Mum. She doesn't wine, doesn't whimper but lets out this god awful scream and it is loud and so annoying. Cry Baby, Cry Baby...Bernice the lady that was camping beside us heard her screaming and dropped everything and came running thinking something horrible was going on. She was not sure at all what the commotion was all about. Olivia could of won an academy award for the leading lady in a horror movie!! OMG the Mosquitoes were so bad at Ross Lake, good thing that we had a nice enclosed bug tent that was netted to protect us. The early morning and the evenings were the worst time for the mosquitoes. I have no love for them, have no clue even why they are on this earth! During the days I played in my crib, had my walks and playtime and lots of cuddles. Opps I bit Bernices lip too and made her bleed...felt bad but hey what are these puppy teeth for besides a good bite! I've gotten really good at nite wining to let my parents know I've got to get out for my bathroom break~oh the outhouse!! Even one morning I woke them up at 2:20 am to go for my poop...dad was too scared to go outside so my Mum had to get dressed and take me out with the bears! We3ll after a week at Ross Lake we moved on out of Mosquitoville to Chain Lake, Olivia can tell you about the next 1/2 of our holiday.

My Vacation

As the senior citizen, about 16 years old, I too should have a say in this blog!!! I love to camp. My family found me many years ago in a campsite near Williams Lake, they have loved me from the moment they layed eyes on me. I love to camp like I say and the older I get the lazier I get just chillaxing with the fam. Now that it is harder for me to get in and out of the truck and trailer my Dad built me a ramp to get in with. It is great. I still love my water time swimming for sticks in the lake, I may be a bit slower and locating them and not so brave going deep anymore but all in all it is still a relaxing way to cool down. Although my vision and hearing is fading, I still hear what is important to me. Unlike the pug crew, I have free range of the trailer at night - 3 dog nite! The 2 black beetles are in their kennels at night and between them and mum, it would make a great advertisement for Breath Right Nasal Strips!!! The real thing I miss when camping is the lawn in our backyard and my dog house. All in all though there is no better way to spend some quality time with the whole dam fam than camping!!

Weekend/Weeks off!!

Well today was exciting, lots to do and visitors over again and Mum and Dad are busy doing all kinds of things before we go camping!!! The pee pads are packed for Elliott and Dad bought a crib the other day for him as it was cheaper than buying another excerise pen. He used his saw and cut off the legs!!! Wow what a great saver Dad is. Well we hung out in the back yard today for a bit. Elliott only goes poop out with Cristy in the front yard and he really doesn't have the hang of the puppy pads to poop on yet........grrrrr. It will come, it took me a long time to do it. Mum & Dad took him to the vets again as they are concerned about his breathing through his mouth and thought maybe he has pallet problems but the vet said no. I sure hope he is right. Well Gregory came home today! I was so excited to see him, although he has changed in appearance! . He has this beard that is so long it is like there is another head of hair on his face!! Or perhaps a wild animal that curled up to him when he was gone on tour.......Part of it is gone tonite...jus the middle part of it. Oh but I was so excited to see him. Mum & Dad's friends came over too, Paul & Carolyn, I really like Paul....oppsy....once I mistaken him for dad.....think dad was a bit sad about that one! They kinda look the same when the sun is in my eyes....well off to camping tomorrow so catch you in 2 weeks!!! Stay cool. Love Olivia..Elliott should be able to have an opinion and a say on here when we get home cuz he will be that much older and wiser! That is a picture of Elliott resting after the vets! The first picture is ME!

Oh my goodness Oh my goodness

Well Mum & Dad are officially on holidays after today!! I hear we are going camping~Elliott is a bit frightened as he has never gone before. I sure hope he doesn't cry and keep me up all nite! I tell him it is ok, just got to watch out for the mosquitos and that is about it. I love to camp as there is so much cuddle time with my pawrents. There are always lots of people to visit with too. Sometimes I see there deer walking into the campsite and she is so beautiful....not as beautiful though as me! Well stay cool, looks like it is going to be a bit better out there. We have our cooling blankets though that Mummy made.

Love Olivia

Tooooo Hot!!!

Oh my goodness oh my goodness.........we are just too hot! Good thing that Mum & Dad bought that airconditioner!!! It is in the kitchen and they can close the doors so we stay nice and cool. But when we want to come out and play and visit and watch TV the rest of the house is very hot.....but we need our love too. Mum is busy as we speak making us cooling blankets!!!! They are suppost to cool us down but we are afraid of them...........she will just have to catch us at a moment when we are sleeping and put them on us. They are suppost to suck the heat out of us and keep as comfortable!!!!! Oh I sure hope they work! Love Olivia & Elliott....ps she is making a bandana for Taz too!!! We are all going camping soon so hope it cools down. Molson is getting one too!!!

It is me.....Elliott.....

What can i say....at my age...not too much! I am adjusting to my new home and love my family already!!! I'm too hot through...but I have peed & pooped outside already!! Oh my big sister Olivia is teaching me well!!! I'll write more when it cools down!!

Oppsy...

I am just so tired from this heat I forgot to tell you that Jean and Molson came over after dinner too. There was fuss again about Elliott......I jumped up on Jean and got her white pants dirty as I wanted in on the action too!! Jean is Gregory's Mum. Gregory is Cristy's boyfriend and he has been away for almost 2 months....I'M GOING TO PEE MYSELF WHEN HE COMES HOME! I love Gregory just as much as Cristy...she said NOT! Molson is their dog, he is so sweet. He came to stay with me the end of May when his family went away so it was great to catch up with stuff with him. Well niters again!

Elliott's first day

Well it was an incredibly hot and humid day today....not too much for my liking at all. I think the storm we had last nite with the fireworks in the sky and the loud banging had something to do with it. As a black pug-girl I like to be on the cooler side but do enjoy the sunshine on me as well. Ha that is why my Dad bought me an airconditioner! Mum got up early today and we had coffee and a pee outside, me not mum, she just had the coffee. Then back into the house as Dad was up and you know how I love my Dad. Every moring when he gets up for work, like at some ungodly hour i think about 2:30 am, we have breakfast together. Today we all sat about and had our breakfast.........although I have no idea what the heck was up with Dad as HE FORGOT TO GIVE ME MY TOAST! So there seemed to be alot of chit chat going on between them and then the next thing I know they are walking out the door and leaving me! I cried as I wanted to go also to get my brother! Cristy finked on me too when they did finally arrive home with Elliott, she told them I was crying the entire time they were gone~LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE! OK I'll admit it I did put on a bit of a performance but come on it is nothing that she hasn't done in the past! So anyways back on track here....he walked through the door....OMG there is my bro! OK he is really small, just six and a half weeks old...a bit younger than I was when I arrived. I followed him all around and did not let him out of my sight. He has alot of white on his chest and his tips of his toes are white like he stepped in wet paint or something....nothing that Dad's permanent marker can't fix! We got aquainted in the kitchen where he ATE AND ATE...GLUTTON BOY IS WHAT I AM GOING TO CALL HIM! We did go outside for a bit before Grandma and Grandpa came for a visit. We had fun outside although I was somewhat too excited and plowed him down....cried like the little baby he is but he got scouped up right away and snuggled and I kind of felt bad about the whole situation. He got to visit with the neighbours as Mum and Dad put him throught the fence to see the kids. I love kids myself so it is a good thing if they get him socialized soon with the little people. I am going to have to wait along time for kids as neither my big brother Travis or Cristy are having any yet. Guess I'll just have to visit and socialize with the little people when we are all out and camping. When Grandma and Grandpa came we went into the house and into the cool air of the kitchen, Gosh I love my Dad for the airconditioner...you're the best!! We had a nice visit, seemed to be alot of stink going on about Elliott but everyone was good that I did not feel left out at all. Well after everyone left the family all went shopping and left Elliott and me home alone.....Elliott did not take too much of a liking to this and he was in the excersize pen in the kitchen and cried for them...ha Cristy who is the tattle tail person now eh! I stayed in the kitchen in my bed close to Elliott and kept him company and settled him down. He was good with that and by the time Mum, Dad and Cristy got home he was playing and I was sleeping away. Well it is still too hot to write anymore for the nite. I think I'll go flop myself out on the couch and catch some zzzzzzzzzzzzzs before nite nite time. With the way Elliott eats and his fat belly I sure hope he isn't going to snore all nite and keep me up! My Mum said that she will try to attach a picture of the two of us on this for everone to see how sweet we are! Niters

Olivia's beginning...as told by Olvia

So my new Mum and Sister came and looked at me, played with me and then left me...my heart sank as I was the only puggy left and thought that no one wanted me! But they came back with the cash! There was no doubt in my mind that they were going to love me to pieces and I would love them too. On the ride home in the car it was exciting, wasn't my first trip as I had previously gone and got my shots. A bit of fear was in me as I was thinking that I was going to that scary sterile place again to be jabbed by that pinlike thing. We stopped at my new Grandparents house and had snuggles with them...they can't have pets where they live but I snuck in. Also on my way home we stopped at Krista's place, she is Cristy's friend. Krista just got a new puppy too and we had a photo shoot taken and it was pretty sweet. The off again in the car, where to this time I wondered?? To my new house! When I entered my new house I said goodbye to my past and welcome to my new beginning. My new house was a big place. I was instantly wisked downstairs to Cristy's room as my new Dad was sleeping and knew nothing about me. I snuggled up to Cristy after a bit of play and slept all nite. I was not scared at all as I knew she was there to love me. So the next morning after some play time we went to the pet store where they got me all kinds of goodies including a snazzy purse that I would ride in all over the place. It was so soft and I felt so secure in it. Then my new family had a shopping date planned and they took me to my Mum's office where she worked and the people there were very kind and looked after me. Then my new family came and picked me up and took me home again. When my new Dad came home Cristy asked him to look at the new purse, he asked how much, she told him the price (what they paid for me) and then he thought she was crazy!! She told him to look inside and he saw me. There he was, the love of my life with his eyes huge reflecting through his glasses. I wasn't the love of his life at first....Well that nite Cristy had soccer practice, Mum asked Dad to watch me.....she caught him gazing in at me in my purse a little curious about me although he would not admit it. Then another great sleep after some play as it was an extrememly busy day for me. The next day (Thursday) Mum was home for the morning and Cristy too. We had some play time then off to work Mum went and I stayed home with Cristy. Later in the evening Cristy called my Mum to tell me that Dad had actually picked me up and I was snuggled around his neck watching TV with him. That was the beginning of my love for my Dad and family. I have a special bond for Dad and I wait patiently even now for him to come home from work. I love my family so much. Tell you more about it soon. Love Olivia

Puglicious times two

Well Ms Olivia will be having her 2nd birthday September 29, 2009. She has added so much fun into our lives and always has us in stitches. She is an adorable black pug that was 7 weeks old when we got her. Never in our wildest dreams did we ever ever think that we would have a small dog! We're big dog people. Having lost our border collie Candy in November of 2007 it was too much sadness. I could not stay focused and all I wanted to do was cry. We have our old guy Taz who is an outside boy just like Candy was and they were such good friends for many many years. So I saw the add in the paper for this little puggy girl and she was the last one. This wasn't even a week later after loosing our Candy dog and by no means was I looking for a replacement for her, just someone else that I could focus on and love. Well....we just went to look (my daughter Cristy & I.) Well once we saw her we knew that we had to have this crazy little wall eyed creature that could fit in the palm of our hand. So along came Olivia into our lives and added so much joy. WELL ON SUNDAY......WE ARE GETTING OLIVIA'S FULL BROTHER FROM ANOTHER LITTER....PUGLICIOUS TIMES TWO! His name will be Elliott.
