Introducing Puck the pug

Hi everyone, my name is Puck and I am an 8 week old purebred pug. Tonight is only my second night in my new forever home so I am still adjusting to a lot of things, but boy oh boy do I think I am one lucky pupper. This house is full of people to play with, toys every where, and best of all TWO large, living breathing, four-legged chew toys named Meatball and Ozzy.

Meatball and I get along great, they all call me his mini me, I follow him around everywhere, and he doesn't even scare me when he comes up to me and sticks that big ole' head of his in my face... he did step on me once, but I guess that's going to happen until everyone gets used to looking down for such a tiny animal.

Ozzy, I am not too sure about. He moves a little too quickly for me, and he likes to use his big nose to nudge me around... yesterday I let him do it without thinking twice, but today I gained a little confidence and have actually barked at him as well as chewed on him a few times. He's slowly starting to become more gentle with me so maybe he and I will become great pals too!

Today I even took a trip! It's very frigid here so my mommy had to bundle me all up in a sweater and blankets and then she took me over to play with some other humans at a different house. I wasn't scared at all! I just played and played and played some more until finally I was just too tired and had to take a quick little power nap before playing more at my house... perhaps I'll sleep well tonight, or maybe I'll just power nap and keep mommy up most of the night again. :-D

Tomorrow I go someplace called the vets office. I hope it's as much fun as the house I went to today!

Anyways, I'm off to do some exploring and see what kind of trouble I can get myself into!

The vet, my new digs, and much more

So last night was my first night with the concoction the big guy made for me... he cut a hole in my box the size of my outside carrier and put all of my sleeping stuff in the carrier, a wee pad in the box and then attached the two, figuring I could sleep in the carrier because I like it so much, and go to the potty in the box. Well, for the most part it worked... I LOVED sleeping in the carrier and slept through the entire night without waking my mommy up once, but I don't use the box to go potty, I use it to play, I have my very own pupper condo!

Early this morning I had to go to the vet for my first forever vet check-up... I made everyone there just fall head over heels for me, and barked at all of the other dogs there to show them who was boss. The nice vet lady started off by weighing me, I weigh in at a very light 2.9 pounds. From there it was exam time and that was NOT fun, they had to numb my eye balls with watery droppy things, then they dyed them, rubbed them with a long q-tip, and came to the conclusion that they believe I have an ulceration starting, so now I have medication to put in twice a day. On top of that they clipped my nails AND gave me a shot, soo now cool. I think I heard that I go back next week for a re-check, but I will not go, I'll hide first.

Later mommy went shopping and bought me a Buffalo Sabres collar fitting of my name, and my mamie bought me TWO pair of uggs (black and red) and a leather jacket, yeah that's right I'm a tough guy.

I went for a ride with the family and visited a guy the big guy works with in some really big building, they put me in the back of some bright yellow van and tried to let me run, but I wouldn't move because I DO NOT like wearing my jacket. I also got to go to this really loud place where people throwing big round things down a lane and knock some thingies over to visit another friend of big guys, I really enjoy meeting new people!

I'm home to cause trouble now, and I've even went potty on the wee pad TWICE in the last 20 minutes, guess I am getting better.

Okay I am off to stir up some trouble,

**** Oh yeah little side note: "Mamie" is my mommy's mommy, and "The Big Guy" is my mommy's daddy... they refuse to be called grandma and grandpa****

Been a LOONG time

Hi, it's been a long time since I last woofed at ya! Things have been crazy busy lately, my mommy has worked two very long days at work so I've been spending a lot of time with mamie and the big guy, and today was no different, though my mommy didn't work as long.

Something called the Superbowl happened today, I'm not really sure what was happening, all I know is there were people in my house to chew on and play with me, lots of food, and lots of yelling at the tv. I met Uncle Mac, and Aunt Sis today, they both played with me and loved on me and made me one very tuckered out little pupper. I also met family friends Billy and Robin, they loved me and played with me too!

I haven't been doing too great with the whole potty training thing lately. I started out pretty good but all of a sudden I've gone down-hill, I'm just too stubborn to listen right now, I do what I want where I want, for now at least. Today papa Ozzy made a booboo though, he came in from outside and lifted his leg on grandma and grandpa's ottoman, grandpa was not happy at all.

I went outside for a few minutes today to experience the snow... it didn't last long though because I wasn't a fan of the wind at all. Mommy says will try again soon though.

Okay I'm very sleepy, I had a busy busy day, I'm off to sleep in my big boy bed!

~Puck

WOW

Get this everyone, I slept in until 9:00am today! That's late for me, I'm usually up and ready to cause trouble by 8:00am. My mommy was so proud of me for letting her sleep a little bit later.

All day yesterday I had a real knack for scaring my family. I'm a VEWY brave little puppy and I'm not afraid to jump off of anything. Well, I took quite a few dives yesterday... one off my mommy's legs, luckily she was sitting on the floor so I didn't have far to fall, but I still cried, then I leaped off the couch cuz mamie had food and big guy didn't, I landed flat on my back in the middle of the living room and didn't cry that time, and then later that night I rolled off my big boy bed and cried so loud they heard me downstairs. It was a rough day all around.

Well up until last night I was being called Good Luck Puck because our Buffalo Sabres had been playing so well since I came into this family, but last night they ended up losing 3-2. I blame it on the fact that they were on the west coast so the game was vewy late my time... when I fell asleep we were winning 1-0, but that must have changed. They come back to this coast now though, so hopefully my good luck returns!

This morning I had to go back to the vet for a re-check on my eye. The vet says it's looking a little better but it still isn't perfect so I have to continue allowing mommy and mamie to put this icky goo into my eye for another week and then go back to the vet. Today wasn't as much torture as the last time... not for me anyway, but I did hear a lot of big doggies yapping away waking up from something they called anesthesia, it didn't sound too pleasant so I hope I never go through it.

So far today I've been a pretty good puppy, but there's still plenty of time for me to cause trouble.

Well, I hear mamie in the kitchen so I'm off to investigate.

~Puck

I got Prezzies Today!

So my day started off like any other day, woke up at 7, fell back to sleep til 8, played a little bit, fell back to sleep til a little after 9, woke up, ate, and began to terrorize the house. But then it happened, Mamie came to the door and said "Kelly, Puck got mail." Who me, mail? Yupper that's right I did! In Mamie's hand was a yellow envelope addressed to Puck Pomeroy, mommy helped me open it and inside were two new chew toys for me and a card for me and my mommy! It didn't take me long to start playing with stuff, first the envelope and tissue paper, then the new toys, I'm soo excited, I can't believe I got mail!! Thanks Kristen and Jay-Jay!!!!

Alright I'm off to nap and play some more. Mommy has to work later so I get my mamie all night long!!

~Puck

My big day!

I had quite the day today. My mommy woke me up early because she had to go to a work meeting and boy was I unhappy... I was so sleepy still. I spent the couple of hours mommy was gone downstairs with mamie and big guy and mamie was actually worried because I wasn't my typical nosey into everything self, I just curled up and slept, she thought I was sick but I knew I just needed a good long nap to be better.

After I woke up they took me out and I met so many new cool people, mamie and big guy are even calling me a chick magnet and say my Uncle Jay needs to leash me up and take me for walks. I went and sat in line for gas, and went through my first carwash, met another family member named Carol Ann, she's my mommy's godmommy... I melted her right away. Then we went to the pet store! Big guy bought me a marine corps leash to walk on and some texas taffy to try later tonight. I walked so good on my leash up the driveway where there was no snow, and around the house for a few minutes, then I tried to venture up the stairs all by myself but I'm still a bit too tiny to get up any stair but the very bottom one. :-(

Well I'm very sleepy, I'm gonna curl up and nap before mommy goes back to work.

~Puck

A Little Under the Weather :-(

I'm feeling a little bit under the weather today. I made four little messes within an hour all over the floor and mommy was none to thrilled with me this morning, but now she's starting to realize that I just don't feel like myself today.

Usually I'm up running around, terrorizing the house, chewing, barking, playing, but today I just don't have it in me, I play for a few seconds and then immediately curl up and go to sleep wherever I am. Hopefully it only lasts a couple of days or so.

I'm off to go take another nap. :'-(

~Puck

I'm BETTER!!

Hi all! Yesterday I wrote to you about me being a little under the weather and boy do I have good news, my illness passed a little later on in the day and I was back to my very rambunctious little self. :-D

Today was another vet day for me (sigh), I really don't appreciate the vet messing around with my eye, but I got good news there too, I no longer need to use my eye medication as it appears my ulcer has cleared up!! Woo Hoo, no more eye goo twice a day... now I just need to figure out how to weezle the cheerio's I received for being good out of my mommy and mamie.

It was a great day here in Buffalo today. It was over 50 degrees a little cloudy but still nice. Big guy put my sweater on me right after I woke up and took me outside to experience it for a longer period of time and guess what I discovered... I HATE grass. After dinner my mommy took me for a walk around the block and boy was that a debacle... first we discovered I will NOT walk anywhere near a puddle, not around it, not through, not near it, then we discovered that even in 50 degrees and my little sweater I still end up too cold BRRR, and then it happened, the comedy moment of my walk. Mommy and I were just toodling along down the sidewalk and she walked me over what appeared to be some slushy ice... well guess what, it was full ice, down she went, face first, and she's got the bruise to prove it. I however, came out without a scratch. :-D

Alright I've had a busy busy day and tomorrow's gonna be nice too so I'm off to get some play-time in and then head to sleep so I can enjoy tomorrow.

~Puck

I'm Learning... maybe!

Yesterday was such a very good day for me! People are finally convinced that maybe, just maybe I'm starting to get the whole pee-pee pad thing down. For the first time since I arrived I actually ran from the kitchen to the pad in the upstairs living room to go pee, and of course was rewarded with cheerios, then I ran from the downstairs couch to my pee pad in that living room and went again and was rewarded with doggy crack (for those of you who don't know it's a dog food roll that looks a bit like a sausage stick), and then in mommy's bedroom I actually stopped eating my dinner and went on her pee pad, and got more doggy crack!!

This morning started out good too! I woke mommy up with a little bit of a whine, she put me on the floor and I went and peed in the right place again and got more crack! Usually I'd just fly off the bed, and pee on the floor, but not this morning... I like to hear that I'm a good boy and be rewarded! :-D

My mommy is going with the big guy to the Sabres game tonight! Imagine that, I'M good luck Puck, I'M the mascot, and do I get to go?! NOOOO, mommy gets to go and I can't because I'm not allowed into the arena, what kind of crap is that? Hopefully mommy's presence and my watching on tv brings them lots of luck, after the way they played in the last game, they're gonna need all the luck they can get.

I'm off to take a quick nap and then terrorize the house again!

~Puck

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Well last nights Sabres game did end in a win, so I guess I am good luck, though it seemed for awhile my luck was fading. They went up 3-0 in the first period when one of my mommy's boys scored, and some how ended up having to tie the game at 5 with about 40 seconds to go... my mommy's other boy tied it! One over-time period, and two rounds of a shootout later the Sabres had claimed victory 6-5 with BOTH of her boys scoring in the shootout too! WOO HOO!!! Maybe if I had been allowed inside the arena instead of watching on tv, overtime and shootouts would not have been needed... mull that one over HSBC :-P

Today is Valentine's Day! I don't really know what that means but I know mommy said she'd go get me some kind of gift for it. I heard some people say it's a hallmark holiday, but if it's gonna get me a treat of some kind, I'll accept it as a holiday. :-D

I've already been awake and terrorized the house quite a bit, I played and played with the big guy and then even my brother Meatball joined in and he and I played and played until we couldn't anymore!

My potty training is continuing to go well! I love that doggie crack, and I really love hearing what a good boy I am... the words "Puck you're such a good boy" make me so excited I start snorting quite loudly and running around, I guess I look kinda funny but who cares... I'M A GOOD BOY!!!

I'm off to take a puppy power nap for a bit. Mommy works until close tonight so I have LOTS of play time with the big guy and then more play time with mommy later.
