The Most Special Day of the Year

Hello Friends!
Today is the most important day of the year for my mother and father. Yes, you've guessed. Today is the day I was born! I am a mature and independent four year old pug; I own a car and I own my mother's time when she is home. What else could I ask for?
Tonight we are going to Dog Bar to celebrate. I wish all of you could come! I love all my bloggy friends and I promise I will visit your blogs - specially of my new friends, Hello! - in a week, when mom finishes her class.
Have a nice day, doggies and humans!

P.S. Today is also my bloggiversary! My blog was my birthday gift of last year - not a brilliant idea because I only get to celebrate once!

P.S.S. I would love to know all of my readers! If you haven't said hi before, please do so now! It will be the best birthday gift, to get to know new wonderful friends!

Love At First Sniff

Once upon a time, there was a social pug meetup in South Florida on a breezy day at the end of summer. What a wonderful opportunity it was to meet, share and have fun in the park.

There were black pugs,

there were fawn pugs,

and hungry pug girls with little luck.

There were superheroes,

there were old pals,

and also puppies.

And there was Petunia.

One sniff after, I was in love. And she was in love, too. Not Petunia, but my mother. She loved Petunia so much, that after a few hugs, smooches and kisses her clothes were embarrassingly dirty. Then, my mother suggested what I dreaded the most. I had no choice but to run away.

"I am a commitmentphobic," I finally said, standing by my father, "I am sure daddy will understand me better".

"Coco, there's nothing wrong with having a formal girlfriend and settling down," my mother said, "Don't you find Petunia adorable?"

"She is lovely, indeed", I admitted.

"Are you afraid her heart belongs to another puggy?," mom inquired, "you'll never know unless you ask her."

"I know it doesn't", I firmly said.

"Then, are you uncomfortable with the fact that other puggies like her so much?"

"No, mother. I do not fear other puggies competing with me for a girl's heart".

"Then, what is it, Coco?," my mother asked.

"I know her mother and Petunia knows you," I confessed. "I think that a relationship will complicate the existing friendship between us."

"Why would you feel that way?" she asked, concerned.

"You see, pug girls sniff that I am a single puggy," I answered.

"A handsome one who likes to go to fancy food joints,

and always has a table full of delicious treats"

"Do you have an idea of how many pug girls I can meet everyday?" I said. "I don't want to hurt Petunia's feelings... so I'd rather stay single!".

Relaxing Weekend

I don't know about mom, but I am spending the weekend snoozing at the vet's hotel. I heard something about my oldest cousin playing his drums set...

Earnin' the carrot

Friends,
I went to work today. All the begging and blogging tired me out so much I didn't mind mom dropping me off at my vet for boarding. You know, a puggy needs to spend some time on his own once in a while. It builds character.
Everyone at our office and the vet's office said I was handsome and leaner than the last time I visited.
Mom ruined everything by asking them to carry the brick (a.k.a. me). To make things worse, the vet tech put me on the scale and she says I weight 21.6 lbs. How can I be leaner but heavier? Do puggies still grow at 4 years old?

*Shhhh* Wednesday

zzz...

"Hey, I heard something"

"Woof! Who's there?"

zzz...

"Oh, the door again"

"Get me down"


"I said get me down, quickly! Dad can't find me here!"

The Solution

Hi buddies!
I finally got what I wanted. This is my secret:
Be mischievous at home. Constantly. Let your parents know how bored you are.
They will figure out that you are behaving bad because of your lack of social life. This will prompt them to search for a local pug meetup. They will even consider going further, driving an hour or two.
We have a local pug meetup once a month but my vet said that I shouldn't go there because it's inside a pet hotel and there is a higher chance for me to get sick.
So today, finally, mom will take me to a pug meetup in a park up north, an hour away from home.
Conclusion: Even if I was on time-out a few times, being mischievous was totally worth it because my punishments only last for a minute or two and in the end I get what I want. Who can resist my innocent cute face?

Punished Saturday

I had to clean the dishes after breakfast because I didn't let mom take me to the bathroom early morning. Hey, I am sure I was being helpful to dad while he was preparing the omelette!

Grandma's Day

Friends,

Today I would like to wish my grandma a happy 79th birthday.

I can't wait for her to visit me again. After all, I have been a very important influence in her life.

I was there when she learned to ride a trycicle.

I was also there when she was able to ride one by herself.

I taught her the importance of sharing even when it is a hard thing to do. We both progressed through I-95 with her feet and my body squished in mom's tiny car for our first long road trip together. She devoted unnumerable hours holding a bottle for me to drink water of. She also shared all her snacks with her youngest grandson (me).




I wish she could have learned the most important lesson of all: To kiss a pug. That's going to be my mission next time she visits.



Do you think she looks 79 years old? Don't look at her wrinkles, she's supposed to be a pug!

Getting Ready to Visit

Friends,

My heart is sick right now. My dear Pearly is having surgery and I can't rest here being all worried about her. I asked dad to prepare a dozen of hamburgers for her prompt recovery.

I am heading over there my cutie pie!

PS: Please keep Pearl and her mommy in your thoughts!
