My procrastinating mother
My crafty mother signed up to participate in a valentine's day exchange fifteen days prior to that date.
After weekdays and weekends of brainstorming she finally came up with an idea, for an 18 month old boy.
The project involved pieces of fabric, needles, scissors and thread. After hiding from us to work by herself, she noticed other moms chose projects to include the kids instead.
The deadline arrived, and five weeks later she's not done. Among other reasons, this is why she hasn't helped me blog for a while. But she'll finish one of these days, and that kid will know who I really am. Or how I really smell, actually.

Promises, promises
Mom's phone was about to collapse with tons and tons of pictures and no storage space, so she promised to help me post every day to use the wonderful pictures of yours truly, before they get transferred to the computer to never be seen again. (Unless someone teaches mother how to organize pictures in a Mac.)
Anyway, weeks passed and we barely post, and mom's phone seem to have forgotten that there's no space. At least it stopped reminding her, and she's even been able to take more pictures!
So with more pictures in paw, I'm training a new secretary. First lessons will include how to talk fluently, followed by reading and writing. Hopefully she'll also learn how to type. But for now all she does is stare at the computer monitor.
I'm about to scream: "you're fired!!!"

Puppy Eyes
Wake up to perfect pug weather
Make plans to go out with friends
Make your food choices known
Refuse to move when you get none
Don't play, don't laugh and don't forget to ask...
someone else to work the puppy eyes for you, if you can't.

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!!

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.
