Out for a 'walk'

We had the bonus of being visited by the Big Pieces of Food this past weekend. A puglet must take walks to keep her svelte figure in these generous conditions.

Well, somepug isn't going to be losing any of her winter weight.

Deedee has yet another friend

There's a new puppy in town! His name is Charlie, he's 4 months old, and he's just a darling.

Little Deeds was also pretty interested.

Another friend of the puppy

There is nothing that the puglet loves more than playing, especially with another exuberant puppy, like Lola. What's great about her enthusiasm, is that after an extended play session, Deedee will actually let us sleep in past 6AM in the next morning.

Sunday sun

They're just 2 pugs. Enjoying the sun. On a lazy Sunday.

Deedee has a new friend

Our awesome dog grooming place had a Saturday morning puppy lesson the other weekend. It was supposed to help us stop our exuberant puppy from jumping up on people in delight. Success! There was no jumping. There was just a lot of wrestling. with the other puppy.

i am queen of the world! or the sofa, anyway

Deedee is feeling pretty good about herself.

And yet, Cleo is feeling even more fortunate.

Sasha is really the queen of them all.

Why is Deedee tired?

Well, we went for a nice long walk on a warm, sunny day. The real question should be, why is her fur wet?

Because I had to hose her off when we got home, in order to wash off all of the dirt and debris she jumped into and rolled around in at every chance she got.

New kibble

Our pug cousin Bug has alerted us to the existence of a kibble specifically designed to remove nasty tartar from pug teeth. Proof -- Bug's breath was quite improved! I immediately thought of stinky-breath Sasha, who hasn't actually crunched a kibble bit in years (she swallows them), and who acts like I'm KILLING her when I try to brush/scrape her teeth. It's the Hills 't/d' flavor, and the huge size forces the lazy pug to actually chew her food, but is crumbly enough that it's not like she's bleeding at the end of every meal. (Below: Hill's on the left, regular old kibble on the right.)

Deedee likes the stuff so much she picks them out first. And then runs off somewhere to gloat over it, since they're so big she apparently thinks they're treats.

Carwash

My poor car, after harboring 2 anxious pugs for several hours the other day on the way to and from the vet's, was filthy. Good thing the carwash is dog-friendly. The girls got in some good sniffs, fresh water, and tasty treats on a hot day.
