Not one, but two Awards!

Hello to All!

I feel very honored to announce that two (or to be more precise, eight) of my fabulous friends have given me two awards. As you all know, I always blog from a phone. This post is an attempt to post with a not so new computer, that happens to be a Mac, and that mom and dad still haven't figured out how to use well.

The first award was given to me by my old friends over at http://pugpossessed.blogspot.com. Thank you so much ladies and gentlemen!

The rules and instruction for this award are as follows . . .

1) Visit and thank the blogger who nominated you.
2) Acknowledge that blogger on your blog and link back to them.
3) Answer the 5 simple questions. (see below)
4) Nominate up to 20 blogs for the award and notify each of them. (see below)
5) Display the award on your blog somewhere.

1) If you could change one thing, what would you change?

I would like to live very close to mom's job, like we used to, so she can come for lunch and walk me outside. We barely go on walks anymore :o(

2) If you could repeat an age, what would it be? any year?

I would like to be three years old again. I had a lot more energy and enjoyed going on road trips, and swimming and doing fun stuff. I get tired easily now.

3) What is one thing that really scares you?

Sometimes I am scared of sudden unknown noises, but generally I am a very brave piggy. Except when I am going low on my cortisone levels - then I tend to be jumpy about everything and anything.

4) What is one dream you have not completed, and do you think you’ll be able to complete it?

My dream is to be able to jump on furniture, to get a hold of those little pieces of food my sister leaves everywhere. The vet told my mother that I shouldn't jump because of a malformation in my front legs, but I am stubborn and so far, I've been able to jump to one couch three times. Looking forward to jump to the dining table to fulfill my dream.

5) If you could be someone else for one day, who would it be?

I would like to be daddy. He is handsome, cooks delicious dishes and eats those delicious dishes.

*** I have to nominate a few friends. We are dreading that my sister might get up from her nap and make this post impossible to finish. I apologize but just writing is taking too long. Mom hurry please ***

The second award was given to me by my new wonderful friends over at http://twopugsadventures.blogspot.com. Thank you so much, guys!!

Liebster Blog Award Rules:

Thank the giver and link back to the blogger who gave it to you.  

Share five things about yourself and five things about your pugs: 

About myself:

1. I don't eat carrots anymore. I love carrots. 

2. I look pregnant. I am a boy.

3. I have a sister. She is younger but very bossy and a control freak.

4. I remember the approximate date when my monthly medicines are due. And of course, my daily medicines as well.

5. I love going to the vet. I go there every month. I'm totally into those treats the vet gives me.

About mommy:

1. She is eating my carrots. And all sorts of colorful vegetables since the new year started. She said no more bread, pasta, processed foods, sugar, etc. etc. I feel sorry for her.

2. She looks pregnant. No matter how much weight she looses, she's not pregnant.

3. She has a sister. Her sister is older but very bossy and a control freak.

4. She doesn't remember to take her daily vitamins. She ends up taking three per month.

5. She doesn't like to go to the doctor, not even for check ups. She's into healing the natural way.

Answer five questions from your nominee:

1.  What is the silliest thing your pug(s) do(es)? 

Being a pug is silly enough. I make mom laugh with just being there. Like, sitting there with my pug face. Mom giggles.

2.  When did you get your first pug? 

I am mommy and daddy's first pug. They got me in 2005.

3.  How many pugs have you had? 

One.

4.  Do you have a color preference?  Fawn or Black? 

Mommy loves all pugs.

5.  Do you take your pugs with you on vacation?  If not, do you board them or have family or friends care for them? 

I have gone to a few vacations with mommy. Daddy is more difficult to convince, since mommy doesn't leave me in the hotel by myself, so I limit what they can do. Lately, I've been staying on boarding since I get very tired easily, my legs are not doing well and mommy doesn't want to put me at risk. I have to take daily medicines so my best choice is always to stay at the vet.

Ask five new questions to your nominated bloggers:

See *** above. I won't be able to nominate friends at this moment, but if anyone would like to come over and teach mom how to use this computer, I'll really appreciate it. This has taken so long, I better learn myself to use it or it's back to posting from the phone again <>.

Thank you all, and I hope you understand. Now I'm off to nap celebrity style. Those fancy cushions are comfy (just don't tell dad).

Hugs and kisses!

The hand that feeds you

When you live for food like I do, you are grateful for every little bite you get to take.
When your mother tells you that you can't take what's left on everyone else's plates because she loves and cares for you, you look for someone else to beg.
When the vet scares your parents with not-so-perfect lab results and makes your father stop secretly feeding you forbidden scraps, you resort to desperate measures.
When you realize that the little hand that used to feed you small pieces of food and snacks, is now into playing pretend, you play pretend as well.
So, let's pretend that I am healthy and trim and being fed by this little hand. And to be thankful for that, let's give this little girl a proper name: Coquita. Of all the things our parents have called her, that's the name that suits her best.

Nightmares

Hello friends,
Have any of you ever felt like somebody is watching you while you sleep? I know my mother wakes up in the middle of the night, comes to me, kisses me and whispers I love you. But most of the time, she's in the big bed with daddy and my sister and I am in mine. I wish I could find out what is going on - I don't think I'll be able to take this strange feeling much longer.
I'll appreciate any advice.
Thank you!

My many names

Through the years, I have been known by  many names.
Hello Kitty.
The Furry Little Thing.
Piojito.
Lazy Two Times.
And The ShitEater Man.
But to most... I am Puss In Boots!

Cute-pug.

Looking forward

Happy New Year, my friends!
I hope 2013 brings health and happiness to you and your loved ones.
Hugs and kisses,
Coco and family

Do you find me kissable?

I just ate cat poop! At least, that's what my father said he found me doing. He always rolls his eyes when he sees mom kissing me too much. I say, this is a case of jealousy. End of story.

All girly

What's good about having a sister? Girls play with food, not cars!

How to get what you want

Hello friends!
I hope you all had a very merry Christmas! We are spending a few days with family visiting from abroad and couldn't be any happier.
Mom is not into making my sister believe in Santa and stuff, but she didn't want to tell me he wasn't real... I guess us dogs never grow up in our human's eyes. My sister and I pretended to write my wish list for Santa, just to follow mommy's naive idea. We don't want to ruin her excitement for my supposed excitement!
What did I get? Exactly what I wanted! I was so happy, mom thought it was because "Santa" delivered my present at night. Silly lady.
What did my sister get? A bunch of toys and books and hair clips... She was so overwhelmed and confused, the poor little thing got an allergy reaction right after she finished unwrapping - with the help of mother - her first present. We don't know what caused it, but her eyes and face were swollen and doctor Coco diagnosed an overdose of presents and prescribed one chew bone for next Christmas.
