Saddest Day in a While...

Today we said goodbye to our little puggies for the weekend. SOB! Here was our last walk with them before heading out...

We drove to Salinger's house where we would meet up with Brutus' mom and hand the puggies off. The pugs were so excited and didn't know what to do with such a wonderful house. Then they noticed Salinger hadn't finished dinner...

Honestly, you'd think we don't feed them! But no, they ate a second dinner.

Sophie must have eaten to much... look at that face she's giving Aunt Laura!

Then much to our delight, Pugsley and Lola came over, since I had never met her!! Here are the black pugs... Dixie, Lola, and Harles!

The pugs were running around in massive circles just enjoying hanging out and having room to run. (Then Dixie took a massive dump on the floor... but that's a whole 'nother story.)

Sophie was in rare form! Look at her with Pugsley!

Here are the fawns hanging out... Pugsley, Sophie, and Sal!

Here is Heather and Lola... she is just the CUTEST little girl, such a low-rider! I am in love! Check out that cute Michael Jackson glove she's sporting.

Then, Dixie and Sophie took their first trip up and down a real set of stairs!!!!

Check out Sophie NAILING the stairs... I was so proud!

Everyone enjoyed our very impromptu pug meeting.

Look at Low-Lo! Harles was going in for a kiss!

Don't Lola and Dixie look alike? (Right after this picture Dixie also threw up... 2 for 2.)

We are packing and getting ready to leave, but not having them here is just miserable. I am sure Stacy and Laura will be ready to give them back by Monday- but we will sure be ready to take them by then too!

Puggie Snuggies????

Just this very morning I very grumpily stated "I... want... a snuggie." LOOK WHAT I FOUND TODAY.


Yep, Puggie Snuggies. Or Snuggie For Dogs, as they call it. I am VERY SERIOUSLY considering a 4-snuggie purchase (3 dog ones, one PERSON one for me.)

Just an FYI, Brian and I are headed to NEW JERSEY (!!!!) tomorrow for our engagement party / shower and to see my family.

Sophie and Dixie will be staying with Salinger and his family, thanks to his Saint-like Mother Laura. (I bet that peestain post didn't scare her at allllll.) Harles will be staying with his foster mama aka the casa de Brutus and his also Saint-like Mom Stacy, as well as their foster Miley.

Hopefully we still have friends after this weekend away! We NEVER leave the pugs with anyone so I'm just nervous to be away from them and I hope they will not let their bratty sides come out at all during their vacation. I'm also interested to see how the girls handle staying in a house that's larger than a cubicle! (They've never stayed at anyone else's house before, and ours is a less than 1,000 sq feet 2-bedroom bungalo.) (Harley has, of course, since he used to live with Stacy!) I will really enjoy Jersey, but I already can't wait to get home and smoosh their little faces and snuggle with them!

Thanks again Laura and Stacy, you guys are true lifesavers, and amazing friends/pug-people!

Guilty Pug

After folding some clothes yesterday, I was in the living room watching TV. Sophie TORE out of the bedroom like she had seen a ghost. With that pug look in her eyes... I knew she had done something bad.

I would have bet my life's savings that I would have found that. And I'd have won.

What a guilty, mischievous, trouble-making little girl!

When she's not gooroo-ing...

People often ask me (Kelly) why Dixie doesn't do "Dah Bugg Gooroo" more often. Well, she likes to give you guys lots of time to think of "qwestshuns" and also... she likes to let loose on her "off" days.

The life of a crazy awesome Bugg is always busy!

We are waiting to be contacted by True Hollywood Story...

Dad says he will never walk with her and me 'riding' that thing. Dear Gooroo, I am dying to know what my present will be. Can you envision it?"

Hai best budd Coco! I haz gud newz fur yoo. Yoor presunt iz an elefunt. You will ridez it lyke dah royalty in Indeea. I bet yoor daddeh iz embarussed becuz yoo arr such royulty.

Clementine asks, "Bugg, the mommy and papi are putting me in agility classes. they are doing this because for some reason, they are under the impression that I need to 'burn off my energy in more constructive ways'.....however, I think it's just going to make me even more agile in my house-couch-bed-winston-romping abilities. What do you think? Will I be so worn out afterwards, I won't be able to move, or will it be like the pug matrix when I come back?"

Clemmeh, yoo will needz to harnuss yoor agiluty chee. Fokus an yoo can be lyke dah matrex. Get distractud by foodabuls an yoo will be worn owt. Fokus mah frend an yoo will be unstopabul!!!!

Winston sez, "Dearest honorable respectable Bugg, I would like to honor you with a gift. I will be shipping Ms. Clementine Churchill to you via priority mail. Please use her at your discretion, although I personally think she is most suited for hard pugual labor. There will be no return address, but you'll know it's from me."

Uh... Winstun? No tankz. Nuthin agenst Clemmeh but I haz mah handz full with mah Sofeee.

Ruby Bleu asks, "My Mom has this big green box with wheels that she keeps in the closet. Well, it came out today and she started putting her clothes in it, but none of my things. Do you know what it could mean???"

Hank & Molly's Mom asks, "Here's the deal. Today, Molly O'Mally ran away from home! Before I could stop her, she shot out the front door like a cannon. Her daddy found her in the neighbor's shed. It nearly gave me a stroke as she crossed the street without even looking for oncoming traffic! Why would she do such a thing?? Doesn't she like living with us? Would she rather live in a smelly, dusty shed? I really need your input on this."

Hank n Molleh's Mommeh, it iz won of too thingz. 1- Hank may or may not haz told hur dat der wuz unlimuhted PBR in dah shed. 2- Molleh may or may not haz a ron-day-voo partnur in dah shed. I will let yoo uze yoor imaginashun.

Paw-Parazzi- making themselves known

We got our first look at some of the photos those paw-parazzi were taking of us a few weeks ago.

Look at me there in the middle, I'm GORGEOUS! Harles is also giving a proper smile. Dixie though... she needs work. This was from our photoshoot at the football stadium.

Here we are with one of our assistants. (Mom's note: that's actually our photographer Erin's husband John! What a trooper!)

Mom made us wear stoooopid shirts but we still rocked them.

How lameeee they caught us with the pawrents! Major embarassing! At least they caught my awesome noseguard!

Don't forget to submit your questions to Dah Bugg Goorooo!

Pug Prayers Requested

As many of you know, Walter the pug was hit by an SUV and survived. However he is facing some challenges. His momma has been struggling to keep it together, as would be expected when this is what your vibrant pug is dealing with:

Please visit them and send some love their way on the blog. Also, if you pray, send pug prayers (or other dog prayers) to Walter for healing, and to his mom for rest and reassurance.

Buggieautiful!

So, technically I have missed my whole posting every day goal. Working two jobs makes it harder, and this weekend was ridiculous! However I'll have at least as many posts as days in July, so I still will consider it a success!

I came home from work today and promptly passed out. Bugg decided to borrow my necklace!

Doesn't she look buggieautiful?

Tangle...

You all had some great stories about the pugs' walkies! (Kelly's mom here- and sympathizing with all of you who have to walk 2+ dogs daily!!)

Just thought if anyone could appreciate this, it would be you. Harles and Sophie were WAY tangled but as I went to take the picture (camera was withing my reach) Harley managed to untangle himself. Still an impressive job! (Sophie = blue leash, Harley = red leash, Dixie = gold leash in our house!)

Do you have a walkie routine or special leashes?

Wednesday Walkies

Today I took the puggies for a nice walk after dinner. Walking all three alone is an... interesting experience. They just can't get anything out of only using the backyard as their bathroom... they need stimulation. And I provide!

Below is how they walk after the first pees... Dixie and Harles near the grass...

Sophie in the middle of the road, ready to go back at any point.

Anyone notice what's wrong with this picture? Notice a... misspelling?

If you can't tell, CONTRACTOR is spelled wrong. I spent enough time staring at it that Harles then managed to walk under and through the stakes.

Yea... that was fun to un-tangle.

Anyone else want to share their favorite walkie route?

Velcro

Brian and I have been SUPER busy this week for some reason. So what happens when we finally get to spend some time on the couch?

Maximum. Velcro. Puggitude.

We are still tired from Saturday. Wake us up in a few days, k?

Mini-Pug Meetup Pics!

Ok finally we aren't too tired to post about our fun times with our puggy friends! Here is our buddy Gus:

Here a pug is getting some butt scratchies and the non-pug Tootsie is hanging out. I did NOT like having a snouted dog there... clearly they have a sniffing advantage against us flat-noses!

See I was kind of meant to Tootsie and barked a lot...

Apollo is Tootsie's brother! You know Apollo!

Here are some of the other gals, Molly O'Malley and Miley!

And Hank was sitting around waiting to get his PBR!

Lilo tried to get some food from my Mommy... she shoulda known Mom is hard to get food from!

Why did Dixie look sooooo happy!?!?!

Oh maybe because we had like a zillion pugs all around!

Molly tried getting some food from her Momma too... Hank must've said she was serving out PBR!

Sal of course was cuddling up with the ladies.

Daddy offered some foodables to Dixie to see if she's take it.

She eats her own poop so clearly she gave this a sniff without a second though.

Mom was SO RUDE and cuddled up to my ex-boyfriend?!?!?! Such betrayal!

Dixie then betrayed our family to hang out with Salinger's family! Here she is with Sal's mom.

Then made GooRoo faces with Sal's dad.

Here, Dixie and Sal's dad show off their tongues.

Here is Salinger and his Mom with Dixie and our Mom.

Here is the whole group! The picture we posted earlier, Mom is holding Dixie's harness... she got right out of it!

This wasn't even all the pugs!

Mom was sticking out her tongue at Miley... she is such a cute little Diva-in-Training.

Here I am looking gorgeous.

Here is a newer blogger, Yoda!

When we got home... this is what we did!

Yea, so we slept for hours and hours. We are still taking naps! How was your weekend?

Mini-Pug Meetup Teaser

We just got home, and the pugs are too tired to blog! But today was GREAT and they have lots of pictures to post and tell you about tomorrow!

CHRISTMAS IN JULY!!!!!!

Can you believe it but we got a bunch of CHRISTMAS presents?!?!?!?! I know right! Some pawesome doggers, Addie, Lucie, and Hailey, sent us prezzies! Mom said we need to send one to them but she is taking forever to "pawsonalize" something and you know how she neglects us, so imagine all the work she's getting done on that... right.

Anywho check out the pics! We were SO excited to check out the box... it smelled like beautiful doggies!

It smelled super yummy seriously. Nommmm!

Harles could tell there was foodz in there!

THERE WAS A STOCKING!

Look at the Christmas colors...

The stocking is like... a PAW! BOL!!!!

Before Mom could even get stuff out we started pulling it out.

THERE WAS A PAWESOME CARD FROM ADDIE, LUCIE, AND HAILEY! Pawtographed even!

We loved sniffing all over the card.

Here is Mom's stupid attempt at Dixie and the card...

This one is almost good, I guess.

This was Mom's favorite... some chewables in a box that they somehow put us on but with... get this.... CHRISTMAS STUFF ON!!!! How did they do that?!?!?!

This is what we smelled... TREATABLES!!!!! We are going BONKERS currently over these delicious, tiny, WHEAT-FREE (they must know me!) treats!

Here is the paw-stocking next to a SUPER COOL advent calendar with our pictures in the doghouse! Where did they find this stuff in the summer?!? They must live at the North Pole or something?

Dixie loves the stuffies of course... there were a bunch of them.

This one is a reindeer! Nom!

Harles grabbed the Santa stuffie too.

I sort of thought the calendar was a stuffie for a minute... whoops?

This peppermint stuffie makes a crinkle crinkle noise!

I decided to join the stuffie train and took a bite of the penguin... delightful.

I definitely think these pups might be related to Santa! What do you think? Also please tell my Mom to finally finish their prezzie so they don't tell Santa on us and then ruin Christmas because we get COAL!?!? That would be horrible!!!

Thanks again, Addie, Lucie, and Hailey!

Wordless Wednesday: Post-Photoshoot Edition

Tuesday, July 7, 2009

MODELS? Yep, that's us. Famous ones.

So Lilo was right (since her MOMMMM is friends with our MOMMMMM) that we were doing something called "e-pics?" We learned tonight that that stands for engagement pictures. Why do humans use so many abbreviations??!!!?!?! Mom even abbreviates "abbreviations" as "abbrevs!" Sheesh!

We went downtown and there is this COOL tall skinny carved-looking monument with steps going up to it. We took a ton of pictures and so did the pawrents, some without us but most with us, obviously. Bad part was the shirts they made us wear. They said "save" "the" and "date." Mom said they're for our save the date cards, but we are pretty behind on what that means. Anywho here are some pictures Mom took...

We were taking a drink break since it was crazy with all the paw-parazzi!

This picture below is from the photographer's iPhone. Her name is Erin and she is SUPER PAWESOME!! Her husband John took super good care of us when we weren't in pictures. And they also came with Diana who has a black lab and LOVED giving us butt scratchies!

This one is from Dad's phone... how totally modelesque am I?

Here I am with my momager (mom manager, duh!) and photographer Erin whose company is Erin Hession Photography.

After the shoot we went home but then Mommy went to DINNER with Erin and John!! Some Mexican restaurant. I'm sure they put us at home because the paw-parazzi would be all over us.

We promise not to forget about you all when we're famous beyond belief.

Monday, July 6, 2009

Tomorrow...

Hello it is Sophie and the pugs and we are feeling... skeptical.

Why, you ask?

We were told that tomorrow we need to put on shirts for pictures. Downtown?

We have no idea what to expect. Why are we wearing SHIRTS? And we have never been allowed downtown.

We look forward to finding the answers to our questions... yet we fear the worst. Let's hope for a painless experience.

Constipated or Agitated?

RIGHT after I posted the last entry, the fireworks started. (Remember, it rained yesterday?) Dixie and Harley bark, but Sophie... well... see for yourself.

video

So freaking adorable! Do any dogs out there do this too?

Adorable Dixie Montage

Ok it's not ALL Dixie, but look how especially adorable she was today!!!

Below is like a little pug train....

Look at that chicken wing arm!!!!

Showin' off her Bugg grill!

Sisterly love!

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend!! We were rained on the WHOLE time so it wasn't as festive as normal, but still very special and fun. What did you do for the holiday (or non-holiday outside the US) weekend?

Saturday, July 4, 2009

Patriotic Pugs!

Happy 4th of July! Hope all the other USA doggies out there are enjoying and not too scared by fireworks!

Friday, July 3, 2009

I spoke too soon...

...we were anything but neglected today. Mom worked, but came home early. They left and we thought, ha. Typical... neglecting us. But no, they came back with freaking t-shirts and then wore us down.

Mama already posted all 40+ photos on facebook (all of you doggie's pawrents should friend her and join the "My Dog's Blog is better than your blog!" group on facebook! She is the creator!) and will embarrass us tomorrow. But man... you'd think we were sooooper-models the way she was snappin'!

We came back inside and passed out.

Be careful what you wish for, friends. Very, very careful.

Thursday, July 2, 2009

NEGLECT.

So I bet you all believed that crap Mom pitched about blogging every day. I mean, maybe she will. But does this get us more attention? Nope. Proof? Today. We get about 10 minutes of pets and scratchies and then... gone. Till like 9:30. Where were Mom and Dad?

Yea at some CONCERT. It's outside. Would it kill them to stop being blissfully happy for like five minutes to sneak in some pugs!??! I hear there was BEER and HOT DOGS there?!?!

Anyways we spent the night in denial, being neglected and attention-deprived, praying that our paw-rents would return.

Is that them!?!?!.... nope. This is ridiculous.

I'm being driven to drink.

This weekend is a Holly-Day or something so maybe that means more time with us??? We'll see!!!!
