Life's a Ball

Dude, Where's My Summer?

Mom keeps talking about missing summer. Well I’ve looked everywhere and I just can’t find it. It’s not in the backyard – the grass is just all wet and kinda overgrown because the ground is soggy. It’s not inside because the heat has been on and mom goes about all bundled up with her fuzzy slippers on and everything. It’s not on anywhere I’ve looked at during our walks. The Dairy Queen is pretty dead, and no one wants to sit outside when it’s cold and wet. So I don’t know where it is. I heard on the TV that it might be in New York, but that’s awfully far away. So if there are any pups in New York that want to send some summer out to Oregon – I would like to put away my raincoat.

Uncle Kevin Visits

Uncle Kevin came over to visit yesterday. He’s a cool guy. He’s always feeding us stuff under the table, and BOY was there a lot of good stuff! There were potatoes, and potatoes with ketchup on them, and even pork chops – YUM. I think mom knew what he was doing since at one point I was sitting on her lap and he was still feeding me. Dad just rolled his eyes at us. I kept offering to clean the plates, but I was turned down. I don’t understand why they put so much good stuff in that bad ole garbage can when I’ll happily clean it up for them?

Then Uncle Kevin was tired and almost went to sleep in the armchair. I was a little confused. I thought that he wanted me to clean up. So I tried cleaning his face. Then after he fell asleep, I tried cleaning his bowl and found PIE & ICE CREAM! WOW! But mom took that one away from me pretty fast. She said something about how if this kept up I was going to put all of my puppy weight back on. HEY mom! That’s not very nice. I was never overweight, I just had puppy weight that I had to grow into. But I fell asleep licking berry pie off of my face – that stuff was really good. Uncle Kevin should come over every night!

Duck & Cover

Man my sis is just, well I won’t say it – but a female dog. I know that she doesn’t feel good, but that’s no excuse for taking it out on me. And boy does she ever. I can be asleep and she’ll bite me! I mean, what am I doing then? I’M SLEEPING – how can I possibly be bothering her then? I don’t even pug snore, well unless I’m on my back.

I know she got a hold of some bad stuff – like the time I ate that stuff in the backyard after Halloween. But I didn’t get all growly, I was just sick and wanted mom all of the time. I sure hope she cheers up soon, ‘cause my tush can’t take much more biting.

But mom’s been wrapped up with that. Still we did go to the pug crawl. It was SO hot though, I just wanted to sit in the shade, and that was some PRIMO real estate, what with all of the hot puggies, and most of them were really cute too. They had kiddie pools, and I decided I do not like them. They also started pouring out bags of ice and all the dogs started lying on the ice. We didn’t stay very long it was just TOO HOT. Natasha kept deciding that she didn’t want to walk, but then was too hot being held – make up your mind girl! But it was still fun to go and sniff all the girl pugs.

Whelp – I hope my sis is in a better mood soon. I’m just going to chew my chewies and try and stay outta her way.
