Toy Box

I guess it was bath time for my toys. Mommy came home, took everyone out of the toy box and put them in their bath tub. I had forgotten all about most of the toys but I hope they come back soon because now I want to play with all of them.  My theory is that this sudden bath time for the toys had something to do with this new toy box Mommy brought home. I have no clue how she plans on fitting all of our toys in there but we'll find out when the toys are clean and dry. It's kind of depressing to look at the current condition of the toy box; can you imagine if we only had three toys? Yikes. The new box is oddly shaped but I gave it the sniff around inspection and it passed. 

Dog Park Sunday

My favorite time of the year has arrived! Today, we welcomed the cool temperatures by taking a trip to the dog park. For the first time in a long time we played without heat and humidity. Believe me, that is worth celebrating! I was pretty disappointed to find only one other dog there.. Mr. Pickles or something like that. No formal introductions other than between Mommy and Mr. Pickle's dad and I did my own thing. I wasn't feeling his vibe- a little too crazed about that tennis ball of his. Geordi chased him around for a bit but soon found out that he couldn't out entertain Pickle's tennis ball. Pretty lame.

More dogs trickled into the park including a puppy who was probably too young to be at the park with us big kids. I'm no dog park police so who am I to say he can't have fun? He turned out to be the only dog that could keep up with my constant running around, so needless to say, we had a blast. Geordi followed me around the park and humped me in front of all the other dogs. It's true. I'm that dog (especially at school) with the humping brother. I think it embarrassed Mommy more than me but hey, I go to school with the kid.. it's nothing new.

I found some cool grass outside of the dog park and made sure to roll around in it. Take it from me, there is no better way to end a great play session. Hopefully we keep up the fun trips to the dog park because before we know it the cool weather will turn in to winter and this pug can only do so much in booties.

It's a three day weekend which means Mommy will have a lot of free time for things like this. I suppose I'll be doing a lot of embarrassing modeling for her this weekend. The worst part is that her camera and the computer are getting along now which means she can actually do things with the photos from her camera. 

This hat came from the depths of the closet and before I knew it, there it was.. on my head. Luckily for Mommy, I am flawless in photos and even when I hate her props, we manage to produce some good photos together. I don't think dogs are allowed at Disneyland but I probably wouldn't like it there anyway. I can only hope that Mommy and Daddy will take me to California again so that I can visit with my Grandma Reesa and all of the dogs and cats in her house that hated me. 

Wishing everyone a fun holiday!

Are You Some Kind of Hypnotist?

I know it has been awhile but I've been an extremely busy pug with a lot on my mind. For example, I woke up this morning and found myself mesmerized by an object in our guest bathroom. I asked Mommy what it was afterwards and she called it a plunger. So many thoughts crossed my mind as I fell into the plunger's trance: what is its purpose? How long has this plunger been living in my house? And why does it seem to live such a purposeful life? Mommy said she turned off her hair dryer this morning to find me staring at the plunger, head tilt and all. Honestly, I can't put my finger on it but I felt so inspired. Or tired. Either way, welcome to my world, Plunger.

Bring Back the Cookies

Somebody please tell my mom that Buddy Biscuits are so last year. I don't like them- and being rewarded for my awesome potty skills during our walks with Buddy Biscuits isn't really a reward. For the past two weeks, Buddy Biscuits have made a comeback which can only mean one thing: Mommy is too lazy to go buy the good stuff. I have been protesting this by performing a two-step process. Spit it out immediately and show mommy my look of disgust. And in an attempt to solidify my protest, I let Geordi eat it- something I would normally never ever do. I believe Mommy is misunderstanding Geordi's lack of treat standards for us liking Buddy Biscuits. I must convince Geordi to join in on the protest, otherwise Mommy may never get the point.

Are tasty treats too much to ask for? What is going on with my mother? Bring back the cookies and the apple bacon treats! For goodness sake, I'll even take the healthy carrots! Mom, if you are reading this.. please buy new treats immediately. Your favorite son is unhappy (in the treat department). 

February Beach Day

Thank goodness for President's Day because we had sunny weather, mommy all to ourselves and a trip to the beach! A group of ducks were taunting me from the water so I tried my hardest to get to them. But a combination of mommy freaking out and the weather still being in the 30s made me retreat. I'll get those ducks in a few months. It was weird to see snow and sand mixed together but the sand kept my paws from being cold in the snow. I can't wait for spring and summer so that we can make our nightly trips to the beach! Go away winter!

Please stop with the pictures. Okay, maybe just one more.

I feel like Mommy gets a brand new camera too often. And trust me, I KNOW when she has a new camera because I fall victim to it. Luckily for her, I love the spotlight and as long as she gives me treats and gushes over how cute I am- I tolerate it. 

I dug up the holiday appropriate rubber xmas bulb toy from the toy box. Before I knew it, Mommy was armed with her new toy snapping away. 

Here's to another year of toys and photos! Happy new year.
