Quick Telegram

Hello friends!

I have missed you all so much! Daddy fixed the internet last weekend but it hasn't been working well for the past few days (go figure); so I asked mom to upload and help me write a quick note just in case it freezes again while we blog!

Here are some pictures of Puggy Luau 2010, a couple of weeks ago. I was very lucky to have Jax's daddy take me into the pool swimming! Mom and dad didn't bring appropiate attire to take me into the pool. Boring people. 

We will try to visit your blogs in the upcoming days. I am really sorry I haven't left any comments for so long, but we have been reading your blogs and have been thinking a lot about you. I know I have missed a lot of birthdays, that some of you have been sick and also some of our friends are not longer with us :o(  Please know that my heart has been with you all this time!

I know you can't tell by this picture but daddy had fun too at the Luau. He never smiles on pictures. But here he is trying.

Many hugs and kisses for all of you!

Wordless Wednesday: Pug Parenting Guide - PART II

Never miss a pug meetup, otherwise you'll risk not getting enough cuteness to help you cope with daily life troubles.

Pug-parenting Study Guide - PART I

SUBJECT OF THE STUDY: Coco Puggy, 4 years old, only pug-child.

LOCATION: K-9s in Paradise, event at the pool.

BACKGROUND: A pug meetup was organized on Saturday, but the parents thought it was more important to stay home and get the fridge fixed.

The pug was forced to attend the water park on Sunday, all alone.

Unable to sniff his pug friends, because they were not around, the pug felt lost.

The pug decided to make the best of this day and enjoy the park, even if that had to be done alone.

Not expecting that he was being followed, he devoted himself to intense sniffing to get to know all the other doggies attending the event.

The pug met big dogs.

And discovered how playful a huge dog can be; just like pugs are.

Just by coincidence, another pug was found but he was leaving the park already.

CONCLUSION:

1. Big dogs can be fun.

2. It was too cold that day to lounge at the pool.

3. It is a great advantage to be the only pug at the park, since that guarantees that there wont be anybody else begging at the food stand.

4. The parents need to set their priorities straight. To fix the fridge was not necessary, since it broke again one week later. Also, at this time of the year, carrots do fine at room temperature. What else do we need a fridge for?

Living in another Time Zone

Hello Friends, puggies, other doggies, maybe some cats and humans!

Thank you for voting to help me choose a costume for the contest! I know you are all waiting to know how the contest went... but I'd rather tell you all about Pug Picnic first!

Mom and I are members of the Pug Club of South Florida (besides being part of two pug meetup groups also), and they organize one pug picnic in november, a party for humans-only in December, a meetup for puggies in January and a BIG Pug Picnic in February. The first meetup I ever attended -because I was healthy enough to finally go out and about - was the February Pug Picnic almost three years ago. Mom was in pug heaven, there were about 300 people with about 300+ pugs! I was the happiest pug on earth. Dad was terrified. He said all of the people in the park - besides him - were crazy. Funny, he's attended hundreds of pug meetups ever since... and he seems to enjoy it!

Back to last Sunday... Once I arrived I spotted the girls.

There were plenty of them.

But they were leaving!

The party had almost ended by the time we arrived. Why? Because mom lives in another time zone. She's stuck with "Peruvian Time" in which you are ALWAYS late. I missed the costume contest!!!

Lucky me, my best puggy friend Jax was there to save the day. We stayed in the park chatting and sniffing for a while.

Jax was kind enough to share some treats with me. Mom didn't bring anything, not a single carrot, or a single green bean. Do any of you know of a number I can call to complain such cruelty?

The Beach, The Desert, The City

Hi puggies and non-puggies!
Could you please vote on my poll on the right hand side? ----> right there. Thank you!
I checked the results and, so far, I have to dress like this:

(33% Pig, 33% Pirate, 33% Firefighter, 1% is my tail)

Now, a quick recount of the places mom and dad visited:

A city on the West Coast.




A museum in said city.


Mom got to spend some time with old friends from Peru. She met the girl in highschool 22 years ago and the boy in college 17 years ago. Just so he doesn't feel left out, mom met dad in Miami 8 years ago.



Later, mom and dad walked around.




They rode bicycle,



sat on a bench to watch the sunset...




And walked around a little more at night.



Mom and dad drove innumerable hours, just to look at this nature wonder.



Mom cried when she first saw it. I bet it reminded her of me.



I don't blame her for missing me so much, since the only furry creatures in that place didn't seem very friendly.





Then mom and dad went to visit a place called Dam, where the most remarkable feature was this coyote:

Then mom and dad went to another city.

I've heard that people have a lot of fun in this city called Las Vegas. I am sure it is true, but I know my parents. They walked around a little bit during the day, napped in the afternoon and then slept early every night. Mom slept a lot and ate like a pig. I wonder if this has something to do with the mysterious somebody hiding in her pictures *wink, wink*. Anyway, despite being a super boring old couple, mom and dad had a lot of fun - thanks to me. Why? Because she met with two bloggers! If it weren't for my friendship with Jemima, Daisy and Oscar, mom would have never met Rachele and Leah!
