Look what mom got on the mail the other day! Isn't this very very sweet? Mom ordered the cutest stationery from our friend Hera's mom. Go visit her blog if you haven't met her yet, she is always sharing fun stuff with all of us!
Now that mom has been feeling better, we got to go out on saturday. It was a very nice day here! Our local pug meetup group had a get together but dad is always hard to convice and he offered to go out with me anyway so mom didn't push to go to the meetup this time. I missed my friends but still had lots of fun with my parents.
Daddy had a gift certificate for Banana Republic and mom needed to buy some dog treats and also a gift certificate for her co-worker's birthday. Mmmmm... what's the perfect place to go on such a nice day that is pet friendly at the same time?
Lincoln Road Mall, in South Beach! My favorite place!
Friends, this place was packed with turists! I was wondering... what if any of my fellow puggy bloggers come here on vacation sometime? Let me know and we could meet! Let me tell you... about 15 people came to me to pet me, and I even got photographed with a stranger's huge professional camera... so it would be so much fun if it is one of my bloggie friends doing so! And I know a lot of people come here for vacation!
Ok, back to reality... We strolled from one end of the mall to the other. My favorite store is Pottery Barn, because it has cold concrete floors and also because it has a bathroom mom seems to need to use everytime we come here.
The trend now is to decorate with natural colors. They match with my fur color!
But mom and dad didn't plan to buy anything in there, even though it's my dad's favorite furniture store. Mom's favorite is West Elm.
Right next door there is a Williams-Sonoma store. Mom saw something for the kitchen she would like to have but... it was too expensive! It is a red big mixing machine.
Daddy liked all the sea creatures they sell in packages. There's a fish tank at home but we don't have water or fishies in there yet.

We discovered a new store, it's called Jonathan Adler, or something like that, with contemporary furniture and decoration. Mom LOOOOOVED it! But... too expensive! They had some very nice colorful cushions... $110 each.
Next stop: Banana Republic. Dad got a couple of shirts with his gift certificate and mom... just watched. She has lots of clothes already. We modeled in front of the mirror, though.
Then, someone screamed. What's that, mom? The store has a mezzanine and a lady standing upstairs was screaming because she wanted to pet me. So there we went, upstairs, to let the lady say hi to me. She was very nice but she started crying when she realized that I don't have eyes. Mom explained that it has not affected my lifestyle at all... and then downstairs I went, not missing a single step.
We continued strolling on Lincoln Road after that and I met another pug!
Then we went inside Books and Books, to refresh for a while. Don't you think it's awesome how I can enter to all the stores in this mall?
Mom and dad were starving by the time we were out of the bookstore. They didn't plan to have dinner out but... we were so far away from home! Mom's friend had recommended The Ice Box and this was the perfect time to try the place. You can't imagine how many times mom and dad had been disappointed with the food, even in fancy restaurants. They have very exigent paladars. This place was very good, according to my parents, but I can't give it any credit because mom brought my lunchbox along, so I couldn't try a single item from the menu. I was so mad, I didn't want to eat my food. Mom had to hand feed me. My fury went away when I realized that she also brought some carrots and green beans for me.
It looks as if it was made specially for me. It represents my status at home - The King.
Right in front of the car there was a building that was painted inspired by daddy's shirt.
We got on the car right on time, 07:57 PM. Now if only mom could get to work with such precision...

It was getting late and we had to go back to the car. On our way we passed by Romero Britto's showroom. I found the perfect piece of art for my bedroom!

A mall where doggies can go IN the shops too- amazing !
Everyone knows that shopping is good exercise xxx
That sounds like a fun Saturday! I agree with Brill - a mall where the dogs are allowed in the shops is AMAZING! Dogs are banned from even being on some sidewalks in Colorado.

We're going to say the same thing as Brill and Jemima - a mall where doggies can shop?!!! Our Mommy soooo wishes we had that here.
It's funny too because just yesterday Mommy was thinking how much she'd love to take us to Florida one day...if we ever come we can all meet at the mall!
Pug love from,
Pearl & Daisy
You are lucky to have great parents to take you around. You are such a good boy.
What an awesome day! I can't believe they let CoCo in all those stores?
West Elm, Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel are my favorite stores, too! And I like Willams Sonoma, but I prefer Sur La Table. OMG, is it a Kitchenaide mixer that you want? I want one of those, too. Awesome!
Oh my goodness, Coco... you had such a fun outing with your mom and dad! I sure wish Oklahoma was as pet-friendly as Colorado!
I would love to come to Florida and visit you! Momma says we can't afford to travel right now, whatever that means... :(
You looked adorable in all those pictures. I am not surprised that everyone wanted to pet you!!!
that is so great that the mall lets people bring their dogs inside the stores!!! I always maintain that if you are allowed to bring a screaming crying whining snotty nosed BABY into a public place, then you should be able to bring your perfectly well behaved dog in also!
Down here dogs can't even go on the beach after Memorial Day all the way through Labor Day.
Hey...do you tweet?
Coco - You are so lucky that you get to go shopping with your parents. They don't allow doggies anywhere around here. Cute picture of your btot :) Stubby xoxo
Wow! You get to go shopping Coco! In Scotland that would be a definite No! you are such a special pug!
lots of puggy kisses xxxxxxx
Hi Coco, This whole time that we have been friends I never knew that you did not have eyes. You are truly an amazing Pug - you inspire me!!
You also have the best shopping malls in the US!!
Loves from pugs,
Rosie Marie
Wow, that is so cool that you can go in all those stores. Mom would never take me, though, I would probably jump up on all the tables. lol
Roxy
I am so glad you love the stationery!!! Looks like you had a fun weekend too! :)
Dawn (lydia & Pugs)
That is cool you were allowed to go into the stores Coco! If we ever head out that way I will be sure to let you know.. :) Thanks!
Coco won an award!!!
Hi Coco! It is so cool that you got to go into all those stores! I just read your post with the picture of a piece of art that said "Clover" with a paw print. That is pretty cool! That wasn't me, but it would be fun to make one of those! And I miss you too!
Love Clover xo
My sweet Coco, you are not behind anyone! I love all of my sweet and adorable boyfriends equally, and you are definitely one of them. I will never forget our special Valentines date! Maybe we can go out again soon?!
XOXOX
Pearl
PS I think my Mom is starting to wonder if I am REALLY at obedience school... I hope she doesn't figure it out!
