I Tagged Myself...

For the game where you open the pet's picture folder - in this case, the whole phone's memory card - and post a picture that has not been posted yet. And tell the story.
And look what I found. I posted two pictures instead of one, just to reinforce the fact that my parents keep torturing me constantly. The authorities should avoid people eating fast food while the dog is in the car. Fast food should be bought and delivered to the dog in the comfort of the home. People could then get one french fry as tip, if the dog pleases to do so.

The Sweetest One

Hello Friends!
I have a lot of news and pictures, but since I wanted to write about Christmas in July first with all the proper links I couldn't use mom's phone during the weekend. Last week mom and dad got so frustrated with the internet connection at home that they disconnected everything. FOREVER. So now I am back to blogging from work only... with the little inconvenience that we have been having some problems when we post comments on other blogs. Three times we have gotten a hundred million windows open of the blog where we are trying to comment to at the time, and now mom is afraid of messing up her work's computer. What to do now? Mom is considering buying one of those cards that you connect to the laptop to get internet connection everywhere, if she finds one with a reasonable monthly payment.

Anyway, back to all the pictures and news that I have to share with you. Should I start with the new ones? Or the older ones? What about sharing the sweetest one first?


So, about a week ago, a friend of mine had gotten into a little trouble at home. What happened next is a big secret so please DO NOT share the information provided with your parents. I don't want any of my friends to get into any more trouble! That's why I am not disclosing their names. Anyway, my girlfriend asked me if I could rescue her from her home prison. I live very far away and it took a little long for me to be on my way, so another friend of ours rescued her but soon after she wanted to go back home because she missed her mom and dad.

That's when I stepped in, I had been waiting for so long to spend sometime with her! I picked her up and somehow got confused and headed east instead of west and then suddenly we ended up in the romantic city of Savannah, Georgia. What a nice coincidence! The weather was perfect for us pugs. I wanted to impress her wearing my shirt and tie but it was not necessary, we spent the day on a very casual stroll around town.







"Have you ever been here?", I asked her. She had not. I hadn't either, but mom, dad and the kids did drive around this city last spring and they liked it so much they want to go back to stay for a couple of days with me. (Please note that any trip planned to be made "with me", means that mom wants to take me but dad doesn't).





"Can we ride on an horse carriage? I am scared of horses but I may not be if I ride with you" She said.



"How much is it to ride on this carriage?", I asked the chauffeaur.

"Cute pugs pay nothing. I will get more clients with both of you riding with me!"

We rode in the back of the carriage, behind a group of people just in case the horse dared to scare my girlfriend. I didn't want any kind of trouble ruining this perfect sunny day.




We specially loved the buildings and the trees. Everything looks so old and charming, we decided to step down the carriage and walk for a little bit.










"Can we ride on a trolley now? My feetsies are a little tired of walking..." She said.

"Of course!", I said. We got some doggy ice cream at a local store right before joining a group of turists on a trolley.

Unfortunately, when the sun started to come down it was time for me to take her home. We didn't want her parents to get worried!

"What's the way for Oklahoma? To the left? Or the right?"

"Go through that brigde", a policeman told me.

And that was it. We were both sad to go on our separate ways. I will never forget the nice day I spent with my lovely girlfriend. Hopefully I will be able to sniff her again soon!

Where's the snow?

Hello buddies!
What a nice surprise I received the other day! I got ready with my suitcase and my bone - for proper entertainment - to go to work with mom. I've had a lot of fun with my bone but, you know, it is kind of boring sometimes. THE SAME BONE. Always.

Then, the mailman came to the rescue. He had a box for me from Peggy, Babe, Jeannie, Bob, Isis, Summer and Romeo! It was my Christmas in July present!!! Thank you friends! (And thank you Liss for organizing!)

I got wonderful goodies. There was something that I thought may be for mom but I liked it so much we are both sharing it now. It is a cute, warm and soft throw. Everything else was for me ONLY! I loved the pig ear and the rawhide. Mom is saving the treats for later. Now, is it appropiate for someone to take someone else's present away for a while???

Working Hard For The Carrot

Friends,
Please don't tell the boss, but I am not working right now. I am actually posting a comment on Wally's blog, which he fixed so that we can say hi! He is recovering from surgery now. If you haven't visited yet, please do so at Walterthepug.blogspot.com
Thank you!

Bad and Good

Hello friends!
There is nothing new in my life, only that I spent the weekend at home, spent Monday doing a lot of excercise* and, on top of that, I will go to the vet tomorrow after work. Yes, WORK. Lately, all is work and no fun. I will complain with my vet; this is not an appropiate lifestyle for a pug.
My mom did have some news though. A good one and a bad one. The bad one is something that happened to mom. She says she wouldn't even write the details because it was of little importance, very little indeed, and it involved some relatives. But whatever happened, it hurt her. A lot more than she would like. She is a silly girl. Daddy said that she shouln't feel that way, and let me tell you, he is right. Boys always have more sense.
The good news is that she got an awesome t-shirt on the mail. She bought it to KPR rescue and all humans that have seen mom wearing it, loved it!
Now I would like to make a little request to all my furry and non furry friends. Please say a prayer for my friend Wally. You can visit him on Walterthepug.blogspot.com. His blog doesn't allow comments, so just a quick silent prayer will be good for him.
Thank you!

* the cleaning lady makes me run up and down the stairs, threatening me with deadly weapons! Weapons such as the broom, the vacuum cleaner, windex, the mop... I had to run for my life for like 3 hours!

Turtle & Turtle

Hi Buddies!
This is the last episode of mom's beach day last Sunday. If you are wondering why I keep writing about that day, it simply is because my life has become a boring rutine of go-pee-and-poop-outside and then I come right back to the house. And don't even think this is to protect me from possible infections I may get outside. No. It is because mom and dad can't resist the mosquitoes. So selfish! Since I can't handle this anymore, I am planning to runaway during the weekend with a special secret friend to a special secret place.



So back to mom's day at the Keys, look what she found on the road! Stubby's mom wrote about this place a while ago. Mom was so excited to see it, dad had to make a U-turn for mom to take the pictures.

Across the street they found this tiny place, that may be a house (according to dad) or may be a bar (according to mom).

There was so much traffic mom and dad had to make an emergency stop to fulfill daddy's stomach. Daddy said, we will stop in the first place we see to our right. And the winner was...

GREEN TURTLE INN!

The waiter explained the history of the place to mom and dad. Since it was Sunday, mom was on "spanish mode" so she barely understood any. All she can recall is that this was the only lodging in the area while the train was under construction by Mr. Flagler, so all the workers would stay here. Remember the railroad? That was the only way to go to Key West by land for quite some time. When the city developed this was still a motel and a bar. It closed a few years ago and reopened later as a fancy restaurant, keeping the same name.

Mom and dad sat in a small area without windows. Mom asked dad to buy her a house with a room like this (YEAH, RIGHT!).

The place was a little pricey but totally worth it. Mom and dad are smart so they ordered the cheapest dishes (and no fish for mom) and a dessert. SO GOOD!!!

They were told this is the best breakfast restaurant around, so they are planning to go back soon. Obviously, she will have to call before to ask if I can go along.
