Sasha -- go to bed?

Almost every night, Sasha snoozes on the sofa with me while Dave finishes up in the office. When it's time for bed, he'll come over to the sofa, and ask Sasha -- 'Sasha, go to bed?'

Sasha's no dummy. She knows that the first to bed gets the best spot. Which is the spot in Dave's tummy nook. Some nights, all 3 of us -- pugs and me -- are fighting for that spot.

Some nights, tho, Sasha doesn't quite make it to the top of the sofa.

My little girl

When did Sasha get so grey? Little pug is only 9 years old. It seems that every time I inspect her, she has a new tuft of grey hair. My sweetling, she'll always be puppy at heart.

Happy Birthday, gramma!

Cleo then promptly attacks Sasha in an effort to be the first pug to wish gramma a happy birthday, this morning. They obviously then get distracted, trying to kill each other.

Pick me up, daddy

Every night at bedtime, Dave asks Sasha -- do you want to go to bed?

and Sasha runs over to plant her paws on his chest, like -- pick me up, daddy. i luv u.

Busy day in the life of a pug

When we leave for work in the AM, we leave SashaCleo in this position -- napping, on their bed. When I come home in the afternoon, they are in the same exact position.

Not a single whisker hair changed in place. If either pug does deign to move off of the bed, rest assured it is only for a change in napping scenery.

Chin support

is very important for the toothy pug.

Little lovepug

When Cleo is very sleepy, she likes to curl into the tiniest little ball possible. Like a potato bug. She's super cuddly when she's like this, and I'm able to shnergle her as much as I want.

What to shnergle first and the most? that is the question. the protuberant shnuzzle, or the sleepy pug paws??

Garden gnome

On closer inspection, it turns out that our new lawn ornament is actually... our pug.

i do luv my leetle seeester

Well, it's official. Sasha just adores Cleo.

Why rest one's weary head on anything else, if you could rest it on your sister's... butt.

Whyyyyy am i being ignooooored

um, maybe because we're busy assembling our office furniture, Runtypatra.

Helper pug

We received our office set. In multiple, too-numerous-to-count pieces. Assembly was/is a project. Sasha offered to help. What a good pug! She deserves a treat!

did u say treeeet???

Too hot to move

Usually when I come home, I get more of an exuberant greeting, than the above. However, today, it was apparently way too warm, in my bedroom, stretched out on my bed, for Cleo to get too excited.

So, today, just a tail wag. Actually, a few.

Daddy's girl

Sometimes, Sasha will just take a Moment.

And gaze lovingly at her daddy.


Is there anything better than Pure Pug Devotion?

Cleo, the Jedi Pug

Cleopatra is attempting to use her Jedi mind tricks to move her bone.

Who's that?!

Is that Sasha??? Giving her mama?? The Carotid??!!

More overt snuggling

Sasha, lately has been out of control with her Rampant Displays of Affection. The other morning, I caught her. Spooning. Cleo.

She seemed a little surprised to be caught in such a compromising position.
