That's Ridiculous!

Ok Mom is TRYING to get her act together and is last-minute entering us in Brutus the Frenchie's "That's Ridiculous" Contest!

Mom is finishing our costumes for tomorrow's pug meetup. We need to dress up? REALLY mom? THAT is ridiculous. Look what she does to us!!!!

Seriously Brutus, the clothes we wear are just ridiculous. Plus Mom ONLY hand-makes them... which means so much for someone we don't want to wear. We don't get it! Last year as you know, we were The Three Amigos. Wonder what we'll be tomorrow...

Worries.

I worry about everything. I over-think and fear the worst. It's just how I am.

Ever since Bugg's cancer (remind yourself here, here, here) I worry about every bump. Sometimes it's nothing- or sometimes it is really cancer (Sophie's mast cell followed Dixie's.)

I don't have a picture because it's RIGHT UP next to her lady-parts, but there is an inflamed bump. And you all know what I am thinking. So please, please, please pray that it goes away, that it is just a little irritation or infection. We're cleaning it and watching it for a few days and if there isn't improvement, we'll be taking her to the vet. I can't take another mast cell, emotionally or financially.

Thanks for keeping "dah bugg" in your thoughts and prayers!

Sophie the Flamingo/Koala!

It was an uneventful Halloween at our house. The pugs didn't dress up (we don't really get trick-or-treaters at our house) but we did get some great pug-snuggle time! Sophie is all about hanging out on her Daddy's lap no matter what... Evidence #1- The Flamingo!

Evidence #2- The Koala!

Yes, seriously... she hung on there just to get some lap time.

Now that is one Daddy-lovin' pug! What did you all dress up as for Halloween? We have a Meet-Up next weekend and still no costume... uh oh!

Oblivious Bugg

Our neighbor is kind of crazy and her house mildly looks like a junkyard. But what's good about her is that she does a ton for feral cat rescue. There's even a beautiful black and white cat named Helen that hangs out in the ferns outside our porch. A different cat was hanging out today and poor Bugg was completely oblivious.

See Bugg? See what's behind her? She has no idea.

She literally had no idea:

Cat on the left, Bugg on the right.

Finally I had to point it out to the Bugg so she could have her sniffies and say her hello to the kitty.

Oh that Bugg...

Model Gals

My two beautiful girls probably read too much into those pampered Frenchies... they tried to model for Brian all day!

You know Dixie is serious when she shows off the whites of her eyes!

This picture melts my heart... they're so beautiful!

Wishing you all a great week!

Yummy Crinkly Pig!

Hi everydog it's Sophie. Any of you doggies read about Martha's pampered poochies? Yea guess what. I SAW IT. And I was not happy. Where are my our diamond collars and board games?

Mom made up for it by bringing us home this toy. It's a pig but with no stuffies! It has a crinkly water bottle instead.

We were so excited we didn't know how to approach it!

It makes a crinkle crinkle instead of a squeak... quite enticing! I bet those rich Frenchies at Martha's don't have this.

Dixie took an extra special liking to the pig.

We liked the pig so much we tired ourselves out and Dixie snuggled our crinklepig.

I don't know how the pig felt but Dixie looked content.

We hope none of you are too upset by the rich pampered poochies! Happy weekend!

Real Celeb Frenchies!

I've been enjoying Martha Stewart more and more because of her wedding lovelies, but was super-excited to find that her dogs also have a blog!

The Frenchies, Francesca and Sharkey, have their own blog on her site called The Daily Wag. Look how beautiful they are!

It's informative and entertaining, with tons of great pictures. I've added it to my list!

Go check out Franny & Sharkey's blog! But don't show your pups... they might be jealous of their celebrity status!

Poor Bugg, Poor Bernie

Poor, poor Bugg. She got "bugged" again on Thursday aka got bit by something outside which swelled up her lip. This has happened before but a quick search did not yield the past post so you can just take my word for it. Last time we went to the emergency vet and paid a cool $100 for a Benadryl. This time we were smart! It went down before I even got back from the store but we still gave her a little for discomfort. Enjoy the photos I attempted to take!

See that sweet mob-boss style floppy lip swell? No? Yea well this is pre-Benadryl and Bugg wouldn't keep still!

Poor Bugg!

I also mentioned poor Bernie in my post title. Bernie is my faithful computer (a black MacBook... see why I named him Bernie?) Well after his namesake died I was kind of worried about MY Bernie's safety. Turns out I just stink in general and dropped him and now he's a little worse for the wear. Including some probable internal damage and a nice big crack across the screen. I didn't use him (thus the lack of blog posts) while investigating his illness. The crack is just a flesh wound, but Mac won't investigate the internal damage without fixing everything (I guess it's a warranty thing?) and that would run me a cool $755. Sorry Mac, I don't even have half of that. So, it looks like I will continue to back up files and hope Bernie lives past the wedding. At which time we can hopefully afford his replacement!

And hopefully, he'll stay as healthy as a Bugg!
