I Do Bad Things

Mom and Dad bought me this shirt when they went to the pet expo today with Tubby Ping and Norbert. I stayed home because, well, I do bad things. Like hump friendly people and lunge at dogs. Not all the time but in an overwhelming place like the pet expo that was wall to wall dogs and people, definitely. Even if I do bad things mom and dad still say I am a great dog. I love everyone and Im just a bit over exuberiant because Im so eager and happy. Im going to wear my shirt a lot though, its super cute and it definitely suits me to a t.

Merry Christmas and Fleae Navidad (what my christmas shirt- says)

I love Christmas. I get cookies galore (2 bags), a gorilla toy, a fetch ball, and mom and dad gave me some sausage. Mom tried to take our picture under the tree but I kept playing dead.

Its Your Dog

I just graduated from my second Around Town class. I took the class in Old LaFayette village, which is a whole hour away from my house. Luckily I love car rides. The class was from Its Your Dog training which is a very nice positive training place, lots of treats. I did a really good job and got to walk around the village shopping area for three weekends in a row and get treats and cheese. I worked on not jumping up and humping people who pet me and on paying attention to mom and dad.

Today after the last class we stayed at the village for the garlic festival. I ate at a cafe and got pet by tons of people and I was a perfect gentleman. Mom and Dad were very proud of me. They took pictures of me in front of the display of the American Gothic People at the country pantry store and also modeling my mohawk hat from All You Need is Pug on etsy.com. Mom went into a store furry logic that sells handbags that will put your pets picture on them. Now she really wants one of those bags. The only problem is deciding whose picture to put on it. For me its know problem, obviously Im handsomest, but mom has to be diplomatic. She may have to buy 6 handbags.

Mom is very proud of me!

I have always had a lot of bulldog quirks. One is that I wont walk down my street and past the garage at the corner unless mom and dad and preferbaly my siblings are with me. If just mom or dad try to take me I wont budge. I wasnt like this until I was about a year old when a loud noise at the garage, a car backfiring scared me big time! Mom has tried lots of things to get me to walk solo down the block (Ill walk miles with just her or dad if they drive me to the park) and with limited to no success. She has been slowly inching me down the block by giving me food and desensitizing me (no rushing) and today I made it past the garage and all the way to the park! Go me!

My Birthday--3 Years Old!

Today I celebrated my 3rd birthday. Unfortunately it was a little cooler then we would have liked, mom had planned to have a picnic in the park with all of us, but it was just too cold and windy. So we went for a walk in the morning and then mom and dad took me out shopping to pick up toys and a cake at my favorite pet store, Canis Minor. I got a snake toy that sings a little song, and a planet dog glow in the dark ball, and some organic chicken jerkey, and a birthday cake. I really liked the cake. I also got a new collar and a brass tag for it in the shape of a little pig, since Im such a little piggie.

Birthday number 3 is coming up!

In just two days Ill turn 3 years old! My page snows some of my past birthday pics (you can see ive had two great birthdays) Mom cant believe that Im 3 already, Im the youngest of the doggies here and it seems just yesterday I was a pudgy little bulldog puppy. Now Im a big muscle bound guy. Im still the baby of the family thought and Im still full of energy and oomph. Ive matured into a really wonderful dog, despite some of the difficulties I had during my terrible teens (doggie 1 1/2 to 2 years). I still like to hump, Im getting better, pull, got to get to the park fast, and play keep away, but Im full of personality and I love life. I always make mom and dad life at my antics. My cuteness ensures that Im quite spoiled and Im expecting a lot of birthday gifts and attention this weekend.

St Patricks day and the ACS dogs walk thats coming up

Last weekend it was nice and warm, finely, and mom and dad took me and Norbert for a walk in Hoboken. We walked right into an early St Patricks day celebration though, with quite a few rather rowdy celebrants (well Rowdy for 12 oclock in the afternoon) I got complimented quite a lot but I was a bit put of by all the green clad people with funny hats and outfits. I behaved very well though and mom and dad were proud of me. Dad bought me a pair of beer goggle glasses from a street vendor that I can wear in my st pats photos this year.

My other news is that mom signed me and Norbert up for the ACS dogs walk against cancer in may. We have a fundraising page and everything. We went two years ago and we raised 175 dollars then so we hope to do as good this year. It was a lot of fun I got to walk down by the water at riverside park and we got a lot of free hand outs and scarfs and things and met nice people and got to hear abotu dogs and people who where suriving with cancer.

Im just so smart

Mom has been teaching me two new tricks, crawl and go to your place. Im learning both of them really fast. I have a hard time crawling very far, Dad says my body is not designed for that kind of movement. But I know what mom wants me to do. Im very good at go to your place. I run across the room and hop right on top of one of my beds. Mom has read bulldogs are the least intelligent dogs, I say phooey! to that.

Merry Christmas to all

I had a good holliday. Christmas eve I went to my grandfather's house and made myself at home right away. I did laps around his dining room table, unearthed some forbidden rawhide that belonged to my cousin dogs Ruby and Gigi (mom and dad wont let me have rawhide), made a big mess in the water bowl lapping water everywhere, ate some cat food, and tried to get on the snack table. Then I settled in to nap on grandpa's lazy boy recliner. When the presents came out I was very excited and was sure that ever bag had somethign for ME ME ME in it. I was dissapointed as mom and dad got mittens, and pajamas, jewelry, and ornamets. Finally there was a bag for me, a big bag of treats (wagatha's, happy hips, duck jerkey, and mother hubbard bones).

Christmas day I got a grunting and squeeking piggy toy and a talking santa. I had a great time playing with all my presents and eating turkey meatloaf and I looked adorable in my Fleas Navidad shirt.
