Cow Invasion

One would of thought by Bandit, Paisley, and Smokey's carrying on so that the cows across the road were coming for them and they were barking mad trying to keep them away. The closer they came they worse the barking got.



Farmer Dan was late, but finally got his corn crop across from us cut down. This left room for the cows to come in and get the fallen pickins and leftover stalks. Well, the pugs took this as a complete invasion of their territory. Unlike the garbage truck that the pugs scare away, the cows didn't listen. Looking up at the pugs occassionally with blanks stares than proceeding to get back to what they do best.......eat.

This is one of those times that Bandit projects his pack leader status and keeps on keeping on with the barking and protecting even though I have made him come back in the house. He knew exactly where to go next..........



....... my pc room window to look out and see if he succeeded. Fortunately this time he did. Turning around with his bulking proud "I be the pug" chest.

He definitely has issues, but what pug doesn't?......lol.

Sorry for the week long absence. I did have a left side breast lumpectomy earlier in the week. Pathology report to come back early next week. I am hoping for clean margins, a good report, and that be all there is to it (with much prayers). Needless to say, my head as been in the clouds with it all. I am trying to get my mind back in order and will be coming around visiting blogs all day long trying to catch up with what is going on with everyone. Thanks for being patient with me, I didn't mean to disappear on you all.

**UPDATE 12/15/08** - Thank you all so very much for your well wishes, good thoughts, and prayers, I have truly appreciated each and every one of them. I can breath now! My pathology report indicated no cancer cells present, but the kind associated with different types of cysts in fibrocystic breast disease. I can live with that! If those growths get to large and uncomfortable, its just a matter of taking them out.


Pug Hugs,

The Look Of "Love" by Tonya

This post is brought to you by Tonya's way with words. Had me laughing myself silly. Permission to use given.



"Does your puggy ever give you that look? You know the one I'm talking about. They gaze up at you with those big, brown eyes as if they are trying to tell you that you are their world. They are so full of love for you. Uh huh. . . then they fart, jump offa your lap and run like hell to escape from the noxious stench. Full of love, my a$$! Eddie just pulled this one on me. . . evil, little, black gasbag! So, just remember folks. . . like babies when they smile at you, pugs are just as bad. It ain't love. . . it's just gas!" ;-) Tonya

Playtime with Bandit

Bandit is not into the wild kind of playing that Paisley and Smokey are into. If I want to play a game of ball with him I have to close the door with me and Bandit inside, keeping them out because if they got involved Bandit would go to the sidelines.

Well, Bandit and I were playing and having a good old time. Sometimes he'd just catch it and come back and sit near my legs and chew on it. Just happy to get some alone time with Mom.



But we didn't get any privacy! A "do not disturb" sign wouldn't of worked especially with Smokey once he saw the yellow ball was not on his side of the door. He makes the weirdest noise something between a shrill and alternating duck quack. Notice how his eyes are fixated on it. I am telling you his has serious issues when it comes to the ball!

Bandit didn't seem to mind though, he knew where he was and they weren't. At least for a while.

Hotel For Dogs Movie

Early heads up!

I am in heaven, coming in January 2009 to a theater near you ........ Hotel For Dogs Movie. Lots of beautiful dogs in it, but best of all two pugs named Frick & Frack. Check out the links below for more information. Lots of fun stuff and downloads too.

I'll be going to the movie and getting the dvd too!

Smokey Loves To Play Ball Videos - 12/08

Wanted to share these two videos of Smokey doing what he loves best, playing ball.

Pug Hair Essentials

I absolutely love the way my online pug gal pal Merle described how to deal with pug hair and wanted to pass it on. With her permission of course!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For vacuuming - get a Dyson!! It's a thing of wonder when it comes to pug bunnies on the floor/carpets/ furniture !!

For "on the pug" brushing - try the "Furminator" . You have to be persistent, but it does a good job.

Use the rollers for clothing, pillows etc...

Oh, and don't wear or decorate with anything but TAN!!!! lol

I might add that oriental carpets are a thing of beauty too, as they hide a multitude of sins...and pug hair!

AND... a "lint catcher" on the washing machine drain hose is essential also. Unless you really enjoy de-clogging the drains on a regular basis in the laundry area. (I have to change mine out every week... and could stuff pillows with the lint catch in the dryer!)

Merle

**update** - For those that collect hair and want something to do with it. Merle found this link for your use or enjoyment, whichever........lol.

Grapefruit Loving Pugs

The pugs always want a taste of what we are eating, but grapefruit? Little did they know what it would taste like. The other day I told Tim to go ahead and let Bandit have a section of it. Would cause no harm, even help to lower his urine pH even. I thought surely one would be it.



But no, to my surprise he lined up for a 2nd piece and by then Paisley and Smokey joined in on the begging too.



Ok, by now they are scattering for the others piece when it misses their oral target and hits the ground.



No Smokey, 3 pieces are enough, don't want you to get a tummy ache.



I guess I should not be surprised by anything with the pugs any more, but this one got me. The power of the puggy belly.......lol.

May the Pug Moon be with you!
