I've been informed that pig ear pieces may block my wind pipes and that I may die from this blockage! From now on, mommy says that pig ears will be given to me under her supervision and someone has to be holding the pig ear for me while I chew on it from the other side, I don't mind that at all....now that's the life!

Thanks to Oji for the tip = )

Chewing on pig ear pieces are one of my favourite things to do. See, I don 't always sleep and eat, I like to chew. Today I was chewing on a pig ear on mommy's bed and I tried to swallow the whole thing because I figure it would be less chewing for me...my jaw gets sore. So, I'd swallow it, and gag it back up and swallow and gag it back up, swallow and gag it back up.........you get the idea and eventually, I swallowed it but a few minutes later, I gagged it back up along with my breakfast. Well, mommy threw a fit because she just washed her sheets last week. I'm sorry, so so sorry mommy.

Ever heard of popcorn for dogs? Well, here it is, PupCorn. Two paws up from me!

After waiting 9 hours for mommy and daddy to come home, I eagerly greet them at the door, frantically jumping up on them and wanting their attention. I whine, wag my butt and, get this, stomp my lil' paws until I get a kiss and a rub and then I furiously search for a chew toy to bring so I can play fetch and be petted and stroked on the head like a good dog I am. Yup, that is my daily routine when my parents come home. Woof woof!

I'm feeling very up to par this Monday. My swelling has gone down and I'm eating more than ever...teeheheh...I think people are feeding me because they feel sorry for me, but they don't know that I'm better as ever...shhh...it'll be our secret.

To make me "feel better" (wink wink) after my big snip, one of Mommy's co-workers got me a goodie bag full of treats....look at how Mommy is taunting me with it as I sigh, hah! The jokes on her.

I've been couped up in the house all day, mommy thinks it's not safe for me to venture out for walks just yet but I want to smell the grass, the leaves, the fire hydrants, and the air... darnit! At least I can eat.

Well, auntie Linda felt so sorry for me that she bought one of her friend's new pup over. Meet Lee-Lee, the toy poodle. I was a very well behaved gentleman around the new pup and even let her paw me, jump on me and chew my tail. Mommy was so proud of me because she thinks I'm a hyper lil' fellow with other dogs but I wasn't with lil' Lee-Lee. I am romping around again, like ol' times. Notice Lee-Lee's matching sweater set and carry case her mommy made? How goofy was that? I'm praying mommy doesn't do anything crazy like that to me.

It's been a long day for me. Mommy took me to the vet bright and early this morning.....I thought I was going to doggie daycare but found out it was my 'big day'. I've never been so scared, shaking like a leaf and wondering what was going to happen to me, I cried and cried after mommy kissed me goodbye. But the surgery was a breeze, it was over in 15 minutes, although I was under medication, it felt good to sleep. The vet used isoflurane anaesthesia on me because it's not as strong, cuz you know pugs are very sensitive to anaesthesia. I also got my liver, heart and blood check and I'm all fine and dandy.

After the surgery, I waited and waited for mommy and daddy to pick me and and finally, they came, it seemed forever. I didn't even recognize my family because I was so groggy but when I heard mommy's voice, I jumped right into her arms...then I realized that I should be mad at her for letting the doc snip my manhood, so I jumped in daddy's arms but all was forgiven when I got home.

I'm still a little sore tonight and my stitches are bothering me. I want to lick it but mommy is not letting me. And the worse part of this is not getting to eat! Boo hoo. I'm going to rest up now and dream about soft milk bones and pig ears. Don't worry, I'll be up in no time and cause a bit of trouble, like I always do.

I made mommy chase me around and I love it. Arrrghhh.... I took the packaging tape and ran and ran until mommy cornered me but I escaped under her legs...humans. I finally got tired and sprawled flat for a rest...that didn't mean I gave up, I was taking a break.

I just want to let my loyal readers know that I do read your comments so don't think I don't notice them and special thanks goes to Oscar, my pug buddy who was my first comment person....er....pup!

I have 4 beds around the house, not including mommy's bed. One in the living room, another in the kitchen, one in the dining room, and one in the den. Ask me if I sleep in any of them.......nope, I only sleep in mommy's bed, which makes mommy not too happy because I don't use any of the comfy beds she bought me. I even prefer to sleep on the hard tile or the fuzzy wuzzy carpet instead of my fleece bed. And let me tell you, I'm not a picky eater, I never discriminate from any food. I always tell mommy that it's a good thing I'm a simple dog that loves simple pleasures in life. No fancy dog bed will make me as happy as rolling around with mommy and daddy. WOOF WOOF!

Waiting for mommy to go home.

My favourite sleeping position, on my back and in daddy's arms.

On to the day's events.....

Woke up at 7 am.....well mommy did, I stayed in bed while she got ready for work, I want to get my full beauty rest ya know?

Mommy left for work at 8 am, but not before she put that yucky ointment stuff in my eye and gave me a kong toy stuffed with peanut butter. She thinks she's distracting me while she makes a run for the door to leave, but I know she's leaving anyway, I just want my peanut butter. I don't always get peanut butter, mommy only gives that when she's in rush to hurry out the door for work. I always cry when I see her take her keys and put on her shoes, but when she gives me the peanut butter, I'm all better...until I finish my treat, I run to the window and wait for her to go home. I miss mommy a lot while she's at work.

8:30 am to 4:45 pm, I take naps, run around and play with my aunt Linda and Uncle Hank, eat breakfast, go by the window and check for mommy, go back to my nap and the cycle goes on.

4:45 pm, my tail is wagging like crazy because mommy is home! It's time for me to play mommy's shadow, I follow her every move because she's my bestest friend.

5:00 pm, dinner..yummmm, then I get to play with my toys and chase mommy and daddy around until I tire them out. I play daddy's shadow if mommy is busy.

9:00 pm, bedtime for me, I sleep by mommy's feet, sometimes on top of her feet while she's on her computer updating my site! Then when she goes to bed, I follow her and cuddle right under the covers with her. I'm in heaven.....nighty night.

I like to eat and sleep, and that's what I do best. I should howl a song about it....awoooo....awooooo.....



One of my favourite places to sleep in is on the mat in front of the door. Mommy hates it when I sleep there cuz she says "It's dirty there". Well, I just happen to love the smell of shoes ok mommy! I always want to be the first to greet the guests so when I sleep, I might miss out on some barking action so that's why I choose to sleep on the "dirty mat". That way, I'm right beside the front entrance....there is a method to my madness, as mommy would say.

My eyes are bothering me again, I'm pawing it like a mad man. Can't help it, soo itchy. I try to run away when Mommy comes towards me with that eye ointment the vet gave me. It's kind of fun making mommy run around...hahaha, she'll never be as fast as me, eventhough I'm a hefty husky boy, I still can run like a bullet. Na na na na na Naaaaaaaa. Opps, gotta run, here she comes again with that yucky ointment.

I'm a star! My face is in the Windsor Human Society Website from the "Paws in the Park Walkathon" I am so proud of myself! My friend, Zeus, is also on there too! He's the one with the red baseball cap. I'm all the way a the bottom of the page, maybe next year, I'll be at the top!

I went to doggie daycare again today. Mommy says that she'll be taking me weekly for a few weeks, which is not a problem with me, I like to play with all my new friends, and especially the nice people there, Heather, Karen and Amy. I can't wait until next week.

I've been told many times that I like to 'pass gas'. Hey, it's not my fault that I LOVE to eat just about anything that smells good. Humans get to eat all the good stuff, I bet you they pass way more gas than I do. woof woof! I like to sit in front of the humans as they devour their food as they look into my sweet innocent eyes, I even make them water a bit so they'd feel real sorry for me and give in and let me have a taste....yummy. Mommy always warns her guests not to feed me, even with my sweet face staring at their food, sometimes I even drool, and I always get away with some food, when mommy isn't looking that is. I always get my way.....woof woof!

I had a great time on Halloween. Mommy dressed me up in a clown outfit as I scared off all the lilttle trick-or-treaters with my barking. I barked so much that mommy had to sit outside to give out the candy as I watched and barked from the living room window. I was only barking because I wanted all the candy to myself, why should all the lil' kids have all the fun?

Here are some pictures of other ridiculous hats that mommy put on me.


Howdy partna!


Just right for a Chinese Pug....


I just love this costume thing


My Bruce Lee imitation.....whoa......weee...yah!


Ok, this is my last and final one......Mommy's witch hat
