Small puppy

Deedee is the same size as her loofah toy.


Which she will now systematically destroy.


Tough work for a wee puglet.

will u be my friend?

No worries, wee puppy. I will shower shnergles on both of you.

Pile of pug

Consider. That is not an insignificant amount of weight. 15 + 17 + 6 = A Lot Of Pug!

Practice Run

In preparation for the puglets' brief moment of victory, we did a trial run. Mostly to document for posterity the ridiculousness of our pugs and our errant behavior. But also to a) make sure the costumes fit, and b) make sue Deedee didn't chew/peep in hers.

Bedlam ensued.

Pug-o-ween!

The nearby Pug group had a Pug-O-Ween event this past weekend. I figured that since this was Deedee's first Halloween, we couldn't miss it. So I dragged the sleepy pugs and sleepy husband to the park to parade around in costume finery with the other crazy pug owners and cutie pugs.

They had such a good time. Well, Deedee did. Note the Flying Ear of Excitement.

Sasha was ambivalent.

Cleo wanted to be picked up.

And, they won their category! As 'The 3 Little Pigs'!

New hair do

Deedee is pretty much constantly chewing something. Luckily for us, it's usually one of her toys. Not like Sasha, who used to chew our furniture, toe molding, wall paper...

Or is Deedee actually attempting to be a 'fro stylist?

Pug tongues and tails

Sasha has a funny, curled up tongue. People used to outright laugh at her. They are existing no longer.


Cleo has a Labrador tongue. Not easy to capture on film.



Deedee has an i-can-just-taste-that-ice-cream tongue.


Sasha has a teapot handle tail.


Cleo has a semi-curled tail. Actually it's usually hanging down, like... a Labrador's.


Deedee has a pile-of-turd-hanging-off-my-rump tail.

Gigantic pinecone

One of our neighbors has this humongous trees that puts out cones the size of bowling balls. One of them was on the sidewalk, and we just couldn't resist a side-by-side size comparison with the puppy.

Playtime

So, every once in a while, when the moon is right and the forces are in alignment... when Sasha deigns to stop ignoring the puppy... and Cleo takes a break from trying to kill her... they all play.

Pug buddy

Deedee has become quite attached to Miss Snotsha. Partly because Sasha has vague memory/nightmare of Cleo as a puppy, so she seems to be more tolerant of Deedee's affections. As in, she allows Deedee to grab a part of her anatomy and chew away.

Sometimes she fights back.

Sasha is a very good pug.

The spazz sleeps

and she dreams, too.

New sweater

So, in an effort to be productive, I decided to knit Deedee a little sweater.

Well, perhaps not as little as I had intended.

It fits Cleo much better.
