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!

Mystery Solved?

Hello Friends!



Here I am, back home and ready to tell you all about the misterious pictures of mom and dad in the mountains.




Maybe I should begin claryfing the fact that mom didn't meet with other pugs during the trip. She's been faithful to me and has only met with weird brown furry creatures, like the following:

Apparently, such brown creatures have an exquisite taste since mom found my favorite bakery up there:

Having discarded "pugs" as a reason why mom and dad went so far away, I would say they went there to see the trees change color. Over here palm trees don't change colors!

Or maybe they just went there because mom wanted to buy some fabrics, since sewing is her new favorite hobby...

Anyway, ever since they returned, I haven't left mom's side. I sleep on the floor by her side of the bed now, instead of daddy's side, and I stay in the bathroom with her while she takes a shower. I still haven't figured out why I feel so overprotective... all I know is that there's somebody hiding in this picture of mom and dad.

Preliminary Report

Dear Mr. Coco:
As per your request, I have been investigating your parents for the past few months, trying to find an answer to your greatly important concern: Everytime you take a few days off in your vet's retreat & spa, your parents disappear from the city and then they come back rejuvenated and happy. Why, if they are supposed to suffer for not being with you?
Please note, Mr. Coco, that this is a preliminary report: all the pictures were taken with hidden cameras; therefore the quality is not the best.

September 4th, 2009:
Your mother dropped you off at the Vet's retreat & spa. I can conclude by looking at this picture, that you really needed to spend some time on your own. Parents are exhausting.



September 5th, 2009:
After feeding your siblings and lecturing them about how to care for the house for the weekend, your parents left home.



A couple of hours later, I noted a very strange behaviour in your mother. I had to come closer, risking the secrecy of this mission, only to find this:



This (see picture above) went on the same airplane as your parents did. Your mother kept an eye on it all the time but I can't conclude anything further since once they arrived to their destination, the thing (see picture above) and your parents went separate ways.




I lost track of your parents for the day, but I found them later walking around a nearby city.



I found them with a bunch of people, some adults and some kids. There was also a very old lady and a baby. I thought they were all going away on a train, but they didn't.



They walked and walked, apparently without purpose, making my investigation a very hard task.


Then, something extremely suspicious happened. Your mother, again, wouldn't keep an eye out of them. Your dad joined her. They even pet them, but your mother didn't kiss or hug them as she did with the creature found in the airport.

Fortunately, they left your parents to follow a frisbee. The group continued walking, apparently with no purpose.

When they went deeper into the forest, I was about to stop, turn around and call you, Mr. Coco, to resign. Forests are very dangerous.

But, faithful to my profession, I went on. I apologize for the blurry images, I couldn't stop shaking. I am telling you, forests are dangerous.

I followed them all the way through and out of the forest, where, to my surprise, I found what could be a key to solve my investigation: There was a beautiful house by the lake and I think your parents may be planning to move there.

Please consider asking your parents for more information, as I couldn't follow them any further, since I had to go potty.

Sincerely,

Detective Pug Mc. Pug

Private Investigator
