I will tag Pearl, the Pug Posse, Salinger, Purs n' Snorts, and Pug(s) and Bugg!.

This picture is from my trip to Perú last year. My mother, my sister's mother-in-law and father-in-law picked hubby and me from the airport. Since I had not been in my country for the past 5 years, they were willing to take me wherever I wished (can you guess I am kind of spoiled?). I chose to have breakfast at the National Agrarian University, my alma mater. It is always one of the places I want to go everytime I visit my country.

It is very rural, has farms and fields and they produce the best yogurt of the world, among other delicious things. I wanted "pan con chicharrón" which is a sandwich with french bread, fried sweet potatoes, deep fried pork with some skin (lots of grease!), and topped with "salsa criolla": julianne onions with cilantro, peruvian chili, salt, pepper, lime juice and oil. It is big! Since it was saturday, they were also preparing some stuff for lunch, like "pachamanca" which is lamb, pork, potatoes and other stuff that they put in a hole in the ground, on top of hot stones, and cover with turf for hours until tender and juicy. Yummy!

Oh, I forgot I had to talk about the picture... this is a clay oven with fire wood. The man is cooking pork in there, it smelled sooooo good! But I was there for breakfast so I only watched and took a picture. I had a great time that day, specially because I spent it with them. Actually, almost my whole trip was spent with my mom, and my sister's mother-in-law and father-in-law. I am glad I did so, because 6 months after that (a year ago), my sister's father-in-law died of a severe cancer. I still miss him a lot.

Speaking of them, my mom and my sister's mother-in-law are coming to visit me in 10 days! They will stay for a month. I am so happy!

Here are some pictures of me and my mom in last year's January pug meetup. There where two pug puppies and my mom received her first pug kiss ever! (Coco has not accomplished that yet).

Pug Photo Shoot

We went for a walk.

It looked very cute.









So I wanted a picture.
He wanted a carrot.

I got 36 pictures.

None of them is cute.

Life is not fair.

Wordless Wednesday

Santa Paws!

Hi Friends! This past weekend was awesome!

On Friday morning Mom took me to the Vet. I totally love it! I get very excited because I have trained my vet to give me a cookie after she trims my nails. If she doesn't, I will move like crazy and cry next time she tries to even touch my feet!

On Saturday I went to work with Mom and then to the park. It was a little late and we didn't get pictures : (

On Sunday Mom took me to our South Beach Pug Devotees Meetup! I had not been there for a while because it is a little far away from home but we had so much fun, we are planning to attend more often!

We met at Maurice Gibb Park, it is beautifully landscaped and there is even a Marina! I was very careful to not get too close to the water, not because I can't swim but because I didn't bring a towel.

I accidentally found a melon (why would someone leave a melon in their lap?) and shared it with my dear friend Mr. Spanky.

We took a group picture, the three puggies (or piggies?):

It was a little rainy but the weather was wonderful. When we finished, Mom drove a little further to get lunch. The place has peruvian style sandwiches and smoothies and best of all, they always let me in! Mom had a Chirimoya milkshake (I think that the name in english for that fruit is apple custard) but couldn't finish it because it was too cold. She gets sick when she drinks cold beverages so she lets it get warm before drinking.

Mom thought that it was getting late for our next stop, so she left the milkshake in the cup holder and started driving. The whole trip was through expressways and interstates and such. I had enough time to break the lid of the cup, insert my whole face inside the cup and drink it all. Mom couldn't do anything (being the worst, take a picture!) because she was driving. My face was all white when I finished.

We finally got to our destination, another smoothie store. Mom, didn't you have enough? But she didn't buy a smoothie. There were other puggies.

" Why are they for adoption?"

"Can we take them home? Please?"

Compasionate Pug Rescue was organizing an event to raise funds. Can you believe that I met Santa Paws? We even took a picture together!

" Santa, please take note carefully: for Christmas, I want a one acre field with carrots, green beans and all sorts of veggies and fruits! Thank you!"
