DIET.............did I eat treats..........

Well the busy Christmas season is over, pressies are all unwrapped and I hear words of diet........yes Mum did eat far too many treats. She needs those expansion pants to go to work in today and nothing no matter what she does is going to help. We do have a large shoe horn and I am sure with the three of us pugs we could manage to get her in the pants she last wore a week ago but it it too much of a struggle, plus the cupcake look was so last year.

I on the other hand watched my waist line............well not really. Grandma came on Chritmas Eve and spent the night with us which was great....I love my Grandma so much and watched her every move. When her elbow bent I knew that she would be getting food and passing me some too..........potatoe chips! My new favorite but just little bits....not even a whole chip but those little morsals were heaven.

Once again my beloved Gingerbread Man has arrived....he smells a bit different and is not full of holes, missing stuffing ect. I do believe he is a new one for me to love so much..........I was so excited I thought my eyes were going to pop out of my head.

Well best get going....hear Mummy rumbling in the kitchen and we gots to watch her good to keep her mouth shut to the calories.......anyone know how to stitch it up?

Love Olivia :)

Another Busy Issy Weekend

It was such a busy weekend for us!

We had a trip to our 'other house'.........oh when we hear that phrase we do circles of excitement. Ha and the parents think it is because we get a car ride....not, it is acause we gets to all sleep together in the same bed. This time we pinned mummy down.....i was by her neck with Olivia by her knees and Elliott was at the back of her knees.......................she could not roll over and could not move all nite........oh we had her snuggled down tightly and warm.

We got to have a visit with Stanley and his parents Cristy & Gregory. Stanley and Elliott had a couple go arounds that got rather ugly as neither of those ba**ards will give in......oh good thing the parents were all there to pull them off each other. Stanley things he is a little guy and it totally unaware of his size. Elliott on the other hand things he's a big guy not widdle like he is. Oh brother.

we all got to play in the snow and have just a great time. Olivia doesn't like the snow at all and will at all costs avoid it. ..........but when you gots to go you gots to go and she had no choice but to go in da snow.

On our way home we stopped and I met my brother Beau that I had not seen since I came to my new house last January 1st......we was both nerbous as could be. We did the sniffy thing but that was about it. My first Mum picked me up and gabs me all kinds of lub...............Mummy tolds her though that i had puked about 30 seconds earlier but hers not care. She was so excited to see me and said what a beautiful girl I had turned into.

Now better go helps Mum wrap pressies :)

Love Busy Issy

Hats all done....

Well Mummy is finished doing all the hats and they are pretty cool I must say. I had to do a trial run with the blue one for the boy doggy that is getting it. I don't think it is my color but she insisted that I pose for it.

So of course you know what this all means......she won't be sitting on the couch watching TV while she knits anymore..........she'll be ripping around getting already for Christmas now.

Mummy is not a TV watcher very often so we usually snuggle with Daddy at nite as he loves TV.

Well 10 days till Christmas and I know she isn't making us any hats lol....

We have been good puggies so wonder what we shall receive, although lots of love which we get is more than enough.....

Love Elliott

Geez Louise..........

Ok what is with this time of year...........

People coming and going and Mum going going going........in the door, out the door. It is like a revolving door about here lately and then she is now sitting on the couch watching tv and knitting! She is making some little hats that someone ordered and can you believe it............we, yes us, the three of us are alowed on the couch? Only of course when we are invited! And what better way for her to knit her puggy hats with some added puggy hair :)

Personally I think that she better get those needles flying to make Isabella one too! She came to the family after the original hats were made.

And we hear that there is some talk about a tree coming to our living room soon!

Sunshine.......and Shopping??

What the heck....it's a beautiful day outside and what does Mum tell us.....

She has to go shopping this afternoon...something wrong with this picture! We want to play on the lovely last day of November in our yard! As you can see I've been in the dirt... Who cares about Christmas shopping...we get treats all the time, one can just tell by looking at our waistlines

Love Issy Busy.........and where is my quilt Mum!

Rain rain rain....

Yesterday was a day of dullness.....

We could not go out and play, the weather was so poor but we made up for it this morning.

Just taking a few moments to ponder the day.........

Enjoy the day.

Love Elliott

Me, Me and all about Me!

Ok being the youngest in the family has lead me to this realization that I should be the most important in the family. Well ok maybe not the most important but by far the neediest.

Our parents love us so much but come on, I need more, more and more. And I have a plan to wrap them around my paws so tightly they won't know what hit them.

For instance on the weekend we were going to our other house in North Bend and I was riding in my crate........only because I sometimes get car sick and it would be a horror story if i happened to lean over the front seat and vomit down Dad's back. Olivia and Elliott were riding nicely on the seat together in the back all curled up together.......sigh.... So I started this little whine thing.....whine...wimper and it worked. Dad pulled over in the pouring rain in a well lite area for 'baby girl' to get out to pee. Sucker.....just wanted a cuddle and to see his smiling face in the street lite area in the pouring rain....ah how he loves me.

Then in the middle of the night when we were all snugly in bed I started again...whine....wimper ...and up Mum got at 3:30 am to take me for a pee..........got her too....then wrapped up in her arms off to their snugly bed I went. Rather snug as it is a double bed and with us 3 pugs there really is no room in it for Mum and Dad.

Olivia told me that I must stop this behaviour as she wears the tiara and not me...........we'll see about that!!

Love Isabella....oh ya I am one now as of the 29th of October so smarter, older and wiser than my last post! That is my birthday picture playing in the mud where my family just put in their new waterlines and my loberly loberly grass is all gone.

Mani for Me!!

Well since Elliott had his day out......I'm thinking perhaps a mani & pedi???? Red nails would be wonderful :) Love Olivia xoxoxox

Just a MUM and ME day!!

Mr Hydrant I love you!!!

Someone else was here before me?????

Oh the mud I tracked into the truck......sorry Mum

Don't leaves me behind

I can't believe it, Mum asked me if I would like a drive!!! So off we went to find adventure. We found some beautiful fall leaves, some sheep, pumpkins and a hydrant!!! Oh what a lovely day out I had :) Love Elli

So Busy.........

I've just been too busy lately..............holidays, sunshine and enjoying life.........back at it soon.

Raspberries to you.

Well we were away this past week at our getaway house I fell totally in love with raspberries and could not escape them no matter where I went.....they were after me. Well ok......truth be known it was I after them! No time now to post anymore as I am going to bed to dream of them :)

The Lady of The Bend Bed

We just had a few days in our 'other home' which is in the lovely Fraser Canyon.

Here was the 1st bed.....but she liked the finished product better as a table and I do have to say that it looks so lovely in our home.....although really I had my name right on it. Check out those legs!!!! Such an amazing table. And the cow bell on the top is one that was her Dad's from his early years in Zehner Saskatchewan. He would be so proud to see it displayed in our North Bend home which he always enjoyed visiting.

The sun was shining and we supervised a lot of work that was taking place.

I wanted to share our Mum's new project which she worked on in the sunshine.

Pool Dayz....

Ok for some reason my Mum thought it was rather hot yesterday and that we should all have a cool down......Have no idea why she would have thought that. Just because our tongues were falling out of our faces and our fur was shedding faster than you can imagine and the big ball of golden sun was in the air.

She made a fool of herself to get the pool out of the back shed that has been inhabited by raccoons..thank goodness the neighbours did not see her.....there she was with this long stick....makes us stay FAR back and opens the door fast, reaches in as far as she can with this sticky thing and hooks the pool off the side of the wall and drags it out real fast. Snicker snicker...wonder what really would have happened if there was a raccoon in there.

Needless to say the 'coons' have gone Mum, duh, remember that Dad chased them out then sprayed bleach inside/under the shed.

So there she is filling up this pool after a good wash in case it had raccoon germs. We all run and hide. No way does Elliott want anything to do with the swimming aspect of things. Any time she approached us we would scatter. It took her awhile to finally get me to go in...ok she picked me up and put me in. It was shell shock for me at first, after all this is my first year and there are so many experiences.

I did enjoy it though!!! But I sure was not dumb enough to sit down in it when she told me she had a treat if I sat.

Snicker snicker.....today was a rainy morning so all that work was a waste of time and the pool will be drained and put away till the next sunny day.

Weekend Adventure coming my way..

We are heading away for the weekend and just can't contain ourselves. We are going to our little weekend getaway in North Bend, BC.

It is nestled among the mountains...and of course the wildlife. I'm hoping I can get a bit of bear hunting in this weekend. No no not really, we are not a hunting family and just like to watch them from afar...preferably farther away than they were last year! Right in our yard they were...busy eating our fruit! I do rather like watching the birds in the yard, which are plentiful. Mum mentioned perhaps a hummingbird feeder....but then again, that really isn't fair to them if we are not there to fill it all the time.

The area is so peaceful and serene..........bees busy in the raspberries, birds chirping, bears, creek behind us bubbling away. You can just sit back and relax and that is what I do a lot of.

When Dad comes home we will know it is time to leave as once we see them loading up the truck all hell breaks loose and we run in circles in anticipation of the 2 hour drive.

My favorite part of all about the weekend is that we will get to go to the Canada Day celebrations and have lots of ooooooooooowwwwwww and awwwwwwwwwwws at us. And of course the sitting on the couch there without getting in trouble an Ms Olivia gets to break all the rules and sleep on the bed! Just somehow totally unfair!

The bling....

OK so Mummy is getting really really worked up......... don't see what the big deal is.........I just want to lay in my new bed......bling, sming, ling, fling........who cares just bring on the bed!

No I won't get out! I loooove my new bed!

OK so Mum wants to finish my bed~I love it the way it is!!! But still needs more paint and legs and not sure really if i want the canopy top or not...........not too sure on that one.....but it needs legs Mummy, legs!

The Bed....

Mummy saw in a magazine her friend Holly gave her this cool bed.......

Today she went on a hunt for the perfect base of it...........she got it! Great deal too.

Then to the fabric store she went to get some lace.........but did not get any. She thought that she would let me help her design what she is going to do and I totally agree as it is going to be my princess bed I need some input!

Mum is somewhat of a totaly procraster.........starts one thing and moves onto the next......like ok, where is Elliott & Isabella's quilts???? Just because I know she loves me most doesn't mean that she can't get it together and make theirs...........but no, she is on to something new all the time. It keeps her busy as she is not a TV watcher. Wish she was cuz then I would have more cuddles.

So stay tuned for my princess bed! No pictures by request until the finished job~so come back next June!

She's at it again.......

OK so Mum doesn't work till noon today, there is snow outside.........and we sit and wait and wait...

Once again she is in the basement sewing...........geez.................get with the program Mum!

My new Dress.

Mum has been busy sewing tonite and surpised me with a new dress :) I will really have to grow into it and she isn't finsihed yet..........but promises she will be done it all by Wednesday :)) :))

Let me introduce myself

I am Isabella Irma Figgy Pudding. I am sweet as can be and everyone seems to love me :) I was born October 28, 2010 so I am just over 5 months old now. I've been a pretty darn good baby so far and not too spoilt...........ha that is what they think! Generally I get along with my brother Elliott and sister Olivia. Yesterday the human brother Travis came upstairs and the 3 of us were sound asleep in the toy basket. Stanley..........well he is another story....he is huge and my human sister Cristy's keeper. I am rather ascared of him to say the least. It is getting better but..........one swipe with that paw and I am down for the count. I'll try to add a few pix of myself but it is rather hard for my little paws. When the Mum is not sewing I'll get her to give us more time on the puter.

New Addition

Well we have a new baby in the house, Isabella Irma Figgy Pudding.....sometimes known as Little Kitty. She is a fawn baby....unlike Olivia and myself. We do love her to pieces though and she is a nice addition....Olivia and myself are two peas in a pod and now we have added the carrot to the peas and carrot combo. She was born October 29, 2010. She is getting to be the little devil now though...I really can't say that I was the perfect child but really look at my face and you will realize that I certainly would not have been naughty.....we'll keep you updated on Isabella's growth. Life is busy and Mum just doesn't seem to have the time to get on here with us.......something about this being the year of organization............ha we've heard that one before and it is the same as last year....procrastination....
