A Valentine Poem to my True Love

Ode to Mom

When I was just a wee fat Pug
I often wondered...Who would I love?
What would my uncertain future hold?
Who would fill my ginormous food bowl?
Who would come and rub my belly?
Who could stand my unique sweet smelly?

Then one day out of the blue
I took a ride and I met you
You laughed & hugged
And held me so sweetly
I knew right then you were my one true people-y

As time went on I loved you more
You never complain about how loud I snore
Or when I act bonkers at my favorite pet store
You never say the "D" word out loud in my presence
And even better, no complaints about my lovely Pug~essence
You bring me burgers from work now and again
And when the Dogter shakes her head in surprise
At my manly girth and large Pug size
You smile so sweetly and fib real good
Oh no, Not him, He eats only reduced fat dog food :)


Every night when you hoist me up into bed
We cuddle up close and I get near your head
I look real deep into your eyes
And give you a nice wet snorty surprise.

I tell you Mom, your my one and only
Not one day have I ever been lonely
You rub me gently in all the right spots
You let me hog the fan when I get hot
There's so many ways you tell me I'm loved
And I declare this now......For all to hear....
I love you dear Mom....Snort Poot~Slobber Cheer!

The "D" Word

Holy Pugzola has it been a long time since I shared my thoughts with everypup......
Think I better find a better secretary MOM!!!
I had THE greatest summer ever!
Mom was off work ALL summer long and it was pure bliss having her here with me all day & night!
We really didn't do much of anything.
I helped Mom with yardwork, Hung out in the baby pool, kept busy barking at my cousin Bubba Smalls and had a dreaded Dogter visit.
Pawsonally I think that guy is a little cuckoo!
He told Mom I needed to be on a...on a ....on a..... DIET......
The shock.....The horror....The absurdity of it all!
I can't believe I actually said the "D" word.
I mean how can I mantain this fine manly physique on a diet????
If I wasn't such a fun loving furendly guy I just might have bit that guy.
Instead I gave him a lovely dose of Puggy purfume
You pugs know what I mean;>
So now Mom is feeding me reduced fat kibble and I have to eat 10 times as much to fill the gaping emptiness that is my belly.
My treaties have been severley restricted and I just find the whole thing an abomination!
Now that the leaves are falling and it's getting cooler I have decided to use my mighty Pug power to get a hold of this Santa Paws feller and plead my case.
Maybe if we all band together we can get some yummies delivered right to our door!
Who's in?

I'm a HERO!!!

******Sucks in Gut and Puffs out Chest*****
You heard it here 1st! I am a Hero of man and mices...A true 20th century canine Lassie. (except for the girl part! )
Last week during our nightly constitutional I saved my entire family from a dangerous & vicious predadtor!
Sure did, yep, me. little ole me!!
See the thing is, every night when we go out for our last Hoo-Rah, Angel ALWAYS runs back inside and Mom always has to run back in and catch her.
Well. this particular night when Angel ran in Tico was frightened by a racoon and started screaming and crying.
Mom came tearing out of the house running & screaming "Tico" "Tico"
Forgetting my own safety and personal code of scardey catness I ran into the underbrush to protect Mom & fursibs!
In the meantime Mom bent down to pick up Tico and ran her hands accross a baby Racoon.
YIKES!!!!
You should have heard Mom shrieking :)
Mom started screaming for us all to GET IN THE HOUSE and would you believe that masked invader FOLLOWED US TO THE DOOR!!
Mom was trembling!
She thought for sure Tico was hurt or bit but he had not one mark on him.
After checking over all of us thoroughly she gave me a big big hug and called me her HERO *BLUSH*
Ahem....Don't Hero's get a reward I says????
After a very juicy TBone treat I sniffed everyone to make sure they were OK and to let them know they could count on me!
As best as we can figure, Tico stumbled upon this baby Racoon and when it tried to follow him he started screaming and crying really loud and that is when I sprang into action!!
Since this incident we have discovered that the baby racoon has a REAL big..REAL mean Mamma that lives under our shed.
Every night MOm goes out there to shoo them away so we can do our duty.
Let me at 'em I say...Let me at 'em!!
All I need is my Super Hero Pug cape ( and a snack of course ) and I will rid Amigo-ville of the foul vermin!!!!

I'm getting beat by a CAT!

Unheard of I know!! I am actually loosing to a cat!
Mom entered me in the Chicago Tribunes Marley & Me contest and this morning I discovered I am loosing to a cat! E-Gads pups.
This can not happen!
Please, I implore you, click on the link on the right side of my page that says Vote For Me!
I can't loose to a cat, I just can't. How will Mom afford my therapy if I loose to a cat?
Will Ceaser even come to Illinois??
I'll be the laughing stock of my Pug group and probably end up drowning my sorrow in kibble.
Of course then I will have to do Doggie Yoga which will lead to more nervous snacking.
It's a vicious cycle pups, Can't you see that??
Please help stop the madness before I hop a midnight train to Spikes house for eggs & bacon!!

Diary pick of the Day

Holy Barnacles Puggers....I'm a diary pick of the day~Woot-Woot
I've been SO busy giving Pugportant lessons to the new chick I haven't even had time to write.
Being a Puggie mentor is hard work!!! The pressure...and pain of being responsible for a 5 pound Chihuahua is quite simply.......Exhausting!
By 7 pm I am SO ready for Calgon to take me away~BOL~
Day after day of shower licking lessons.....crowding into the bathroom lessons and the ever so pugportant "pee-pee twirl" lessons can sure take a lot out of a manly sized Pug!
I think I may have even lost a pound or two *gasps in horror*
She's always nipping at my paws....What do we do now?? What do we do now?? Bone chewing time?? WWF time?? Bark out the window time?
There HAS to be coffee in her puppy food cuz she's all hopped up on something!!
This is drastically cutting into MY bone and nap time and I am seriously worried I may loose another pound or two.
Is it too much to ask for a quiet dinner and maybe a Pugtini or 2??
I work hard ALL day long and all I want is a little appreciation, a thank you perhaps fur all the games of go fetch or hide and seek.
Why back in my day I had to walk 4 miles to the kitchen with not a soul to carry me or spoon feed me my kibble.Ahh..these kids....Don't know how good they have it.

To all the bones I’ve loved before

To all the bones I once caressed
And may I say Bufords are the best

Who filled my days with ecstasy
They live within my heart
And also in my farts
I’ll always be a part
Of all the bones I’ve loved before

NIPRA ValenPug Pawty

Last week Mom took me to my 1st ever Pug pawty on my own.
No fursibs, Just little ole me.
I cried most of the way there cuz I like to sit in Moms lap and she wouldn't let me *Sniff-Sniff*
She says I'm too big to share the seat with. Why I never heard bigger bullpuggy in all my live long days!
It was a long car ride and I was nervous I tell ya.
We finally got to someplace called K9 Playtime and I was ready to jump out of my fur!!
When we opened the door and I saw all those Puggers I had NO idea what was going on.
Mom took me in the play area, took off my leash and let me Gooooo.
Except I didn't want to go, I wanted to be with Mamma!!
There were at least 50 Pugs there of all shapes and sizes.
I'm proud to say I was one of da biggest, Oh yeah, shake those Jello Jigglers!
After a little bit I started to sniff some butts, make my presence known.
I mean if Mom wants to drive me an hour away to sniff butts, who am I to argue??
Would you believe one of our Dogster pals was there and I didn't even know it???
Baxters Grandmom got a hold of us the next day and asked if we were there, She remembered that I was a Big Boy and had a red bandana on :)
http://www.dogster.com/dogs/355779
I was a REAL good boy, I didn't fight with anypuggy or even tinkle like someof the others did.
You'd think little hu-sissy would have shared her hot dog with me for my stellar behavior but she gobbled it up and gave me just a crumb of bread......
I can't mantain this fine physique on bread crumbs!!!
Mom shopped at the bake sale and bought some homemade dog treats for a co-workers Maltese.
What am I? Chopped Liver??
Mom walked me around the play area a little longer and then said it was time to go.
I was SO ready to hit the highway!!
I missed my fur-sibs, my yard and my toy toys.
I didn't even cry on the way home, just laid my head down quietly and looked pitiful (my speciality)
When we FINALLY got home I called an emergency Amigo meeting and told the others to meet me at HQ.
(AKA Under the Trampoline)
I regaled them all with storys of Pugs taking over the world.
It's happening I tell ya, I saw it with my own 2 eyes!!!

Diary pick of the Day~Da Pizza Wars

Geez, I was lucky enough to be one of the picks of the day and Mom didn't even write for me.
What kind of madness is this??
I have many Pugportant feelings and pearls of wisdom that I need to share and she knows my paws are to meaty to hit the right keys.
I've been very busy trying to properly train a firecracker of a Chihuahua gal that Mom insisted on dragging home.
I am also trying to organize a Pizza Drive for my pals Maxwell 'da Smitten,Cheto the Bandito of Cheetos,Prince Johnny Rebel,Bonnie and Tug da Pug.
ManPugs UNTIE!!
**Norma Ray...Norma Ray...Norma Ray**
(obscure reference to Sally Fields movie)
I was hoping to stop at Marley Cupug Diva's house because we want to start her pups off with something yummy in da tummy~BOL~
Anyone else in for the Pizza Drive of 09??
BTW~AnyPug have a license???

You've got to fight
For your rights
For ooey gooey Pizza!!

29.5

You heard it here first everypup! I'm tipping the scales at a whopping 29.5 pounds
I'd pat myself on the back but I can't reach it~BOL~
Mom took me to the Dogtor for my bordetella shot and general well being visit.
Told her I was as about as well as any Pug could be, but she insisted on going anyway. Sheesh....She's SO hard headed!!!
So I had some icky stuff snorted up my nose, a light in my ears and my heart listened to.
Then the Doc tells Mom I could stand to loose a pound ot two.
WHAT????
I worked hard getting this jello jiggler shape and I'd like to keep it thank you very much!!
I NEED each and every roll to keep me warm in this bitter midwestern cold!!
The "D" word was not mentioned thank dogness but I really need to put the brakes on the loosing weight thing before it gets out of hand!
I tried dialing out for an emergency pizza to soothe my bruised ego, but my paws are so big that I accidently called Subway.
I would have settled for a meatball sub but couldnt talk Mom into giving me a ride:(
So I'm sending out an S.O.S to any pup with a license?? I'll share the pizza with you!
Pugs honor!!!

My very first Chwistmas

I'm not sure I can put into words how absloutely great my first Chwistmas was!
First there were all the pawtastic cards we got from our STAFU,PDPC,
Precious Chihuahua's, Heart to Heart Chihuahua's & Fun Forums pals.
Dog oh dog did I have fun sniffing those!
Then I got my Pug-A-Palooza Secwet Santa gift and waited and waited to open it.
I'm not too sure what I was waiting for and it sure seemed like a long time and then one morning little hu-sis started screaming "It's Christmas...It's Christmas" "Santa was here"
Well, I started to run around in circles like any good puggy would do, and after a really quick potty break I jumped all over the presents :)
Santa put a jingle bell collar in my stocking and it made me SO nervous that I went straight over to the Chwistmas Tree and made a little pee-pee :(
Well geez, that collar made me cuckoo I tell ya!
Mom took off the collar and FINALLY gave me my secwet Santa pwesent.
OMD~Did it smell good in there! I couldn't quite figure out how to get inside of there but my furbro Parker helped me and next thing I knew I was paw deep in Bully Sticks...WOO-HOO!
I decided I better share with everypup and carefully picked out my favorite one and headed straight to my new doggie bed.
I was in heaven!
Later Mom shared a little bit of the Chwistmas breakfast with us and we went back to playing with our new toys.
I hope everypuggy had a gweat Chwistmas, BTW, whats next?? :)
