It's That Time of Year Again

The time of year when Mom starts getting crazy notions about dressing us up in some kind of get up and marching us down the street in the Park Road Parade!

I really don't mind, because we get to see lots of people and pugs, and everyone fawns all over us. As they should. I am going to share pictures of us from yesterday's parade, but that was not the end of our eventful day. I will save that for later!

When we first arrived, we met Bella and Wally. Bella is just a little spitfire at 2 years old. Wally made fast friends with Brigitte so that he could share her wagon.

Then it was off to meet up with everyone dressed as, you guessed it, minions.

Which is really quite ironic, since...well, I don't need to explain to you guys.

There was a pretty butterfly,

and a very festive pug.

There were a couple of cows, and a gentleman in a tie.

There was Pooh, and Eeyore, a monkey and a fish, but lets face it folks, the main attraction was us! The minions.

Sluggo made himself a girlfriend, while I checked out the float. 

Brigitte reluctantly rode on the float, due to her lame leg and such. (It ain't easy getting old)

But I just had to be down with my people.

Some kid tried to take Brigitte for a ride!

We won the costume contest!!! That means Mom and Dad will get us prime rib from the Corner Pug with the prize money!

It was a great morning, and we were pooped on the way home.

We figured it would be a day of resting on our laurels, so imaging our surprise when Mom left and came back a little later with these two!!!

No, you are not seeing double. We now have 2 guests at The Pug Rest Inn.

Meet Zoro and Maggie.

 They are a bonded pair of pugs ages 7 and 5. We are still getting to know them. They are quite attractive, and sweet too. I don't think it will be long before there is a a vacancy sign up again.

So, you guys don't even know about Penny, which is so wrong on many levels. I am going to force Mom (I have my ways) to write a post about her next.

My Chewy Review

Hi friends! A few weeks ago, we heard from our friends over at Chewy.com. They were looking for members of their blogger program to do a review for one of the many tasty products they carry.

Some of you may remember that we have been using Chewy.com for about a year now. Ever since we reviewd the site last Summer. They bring us our delicious Honest Kitchen Preference base mix whenever we start running low. It's like magic!

 I was all over checking out some new treats, so I took a look at the options with Mom.

I chose Orijen Alberta Wild Boar variety.

Let me tell you, they couldn't have come at a better time. Mom had been giving us dried pineapple chunks for treats. I mean, they are OK, but these freeze dried chunks of deliciousness are unbelievably scrumptious!!!

They are so tasty in fact, I started running back outside after getting one for doing my business, so I could get another when I came back in.

What's great about them is there is only one ingredient. That is good for Sluggo because he has such a sensitive little belly. The other thing is that these boar lived good lives out on the free range. 

Brigitte had her dental not long after we received the bag of treats. I was psyched because I figured more for me, since she could only have soft food. I was wrong. Mom just easily crushed them op small for her, and Brigitte got some too. 

The only thing wrong with these treats is that they are all gone. I am going to have Mom start adding them to our Chewy.com auto ship order, so we never run out!

Stay tuned, there is a very special Birthday coming up this week!

Millee's Journey Home

Hi everyone! It's me Sluggo!

I am here to tell you all about our wonderful weekend. You have to promise not to tell Wilma though.  Right now, she is happy to believe that she and Brigitte were off at Grammy and Grampy's having a vacation for themselves. I would like to keep it that way, because if she finds out what she missed, no one will be happy!

OK, so it started out with me Millee, Mom and Dad taking a long car ride. That part wasn't so great. Lots of HBO words about traffic and stuff. Me and Millee mostly just chilled in the back seat. Until we got to a rest stop, where Millee chewed right through her seat belt and joined Mom in the front seat! That girl is a trip!

When we finally got to get out of the car, a bunch of people were everywhere. One guy that took our car, the other one who took our bags (where our meals were!) That made me kind of nervous.

Then when we went into the building, there were the kind of floors I hate everywhere!!!

Shiny ones!!!

 Dad had to carry me. He carried me all the way up to this awesome room, with the most comfortable bed ever!

We made quick work of getting comfortable. This was not difficult. Especially since Mom made sure to pack mine and Millee's favorite lambies! 

Dad started talking about ordering room service. He said we needed to make sure that we showed Millee a real good time, and made it a very special night, because she might be going home with her forever Mommy the next day!

Whachu talkin' about Dad?!

Me and Millee have just started to get close. I really kind of like her. What do you mean she's not stayin'?

Then Mom and Dad explained how when these pugs come and stay with us, it is only for a little while, and that it is our job to help them find where their perfect place is.

So, even though I was a little sad about my new friend possibly leaving, I was really happy that she would have her own perfect place. That and this room service situation sounded like a very good deal!!!

 So, I set out to helping Dad find the perfect meal for Millee and I.

This place even had a special menu for cats and dogs! Not only that, but they sent up our very own special care package!

There was food bowls and poopy bags, a place mat, and even a gold tag! I let Millee have that, since she's the girl, and I heard that girls love bling!

Then.... I smelled something.....and there was a knock on the door...and you will never believe what came in!...

A very special meal for us to celebrate Millee!!!

It was fabulous! After dinner we went for a walk and sat out on the patio with one of my favorite people in the whole world. I couldn't believe that she was in this awesome place too!

We got to stay up extra late visiting, and then it was time to hit the hay. One more sleep, and Millee gets to meet her maybe new people!

The next morning we got to walk down the street for some brioche. That was pretty special, But not nearly as special as what happened next! 

Millee's new Mom and her friend, along with a super cute boy pug named Zeus came to our hotel!

I will let the video tell the rest of the story.

 Millee went home with the nice lady in the morning, and I got to be an only pug for the rest of the day. We went to lunch, and I met lots of dogs in Boston. I even shared my water with some of them, like this brindle chihuahua named Rocky.

Even though I am super happy for Millee, and I hear she is doing really great in her new home, I do miss her.

Hopefully we will be able to hang out again someday. I would totally get a room with her again. That girl can party!

This post is dedicated to all the rescue pugs, and one very special one. My Mommy Coley.

Brigitte's Sunday Comics

The Latest and Greatest

Meet Millee. 

Believe it or not, she has already been here for a month. She's another one of those boarders, so they say. Millee is kind of a loner. I mean I like her fine, but we don't really hang out. Brigitte just tolerates all these strange dogs coming through. Sluggo has become reluctant friends with her though.

She is really into Mom. She didn't like Dad much at first. In fact she tended to freak out around all new men that she encountered. She is getting better now, and loves to hang out with Dad. She is going to make someone a super loving friend. She follows Mom everywhere, and is always interested in what the humans are up to. 

The really big news is that Mom got a new computer. Part of the deal with the computer, is that she has to help me write more blogs! So, you should be hearing more from me, more about Millee, and all the rest of the crazies around here.

So, bye for now, but it won't be another month before you hear from me again!!

Full Circle Weekend

I know I already owe you follow up pics from our Spring Fling, but I need to tell you about this past weekend first. I can really only tell through what Mom and Dad say, cuz I was stuck home while they were out with OTHER pugs, but I am kinda getting used to that. 

See, we had another boarder here since old TJ hit the skids. This time it was a girl, and her name is Emma. She stayed for about a month, and Mom and Dad brought her to meet her forever family this weekend. 

That's her in the first picture, and I will share a few more. 

I really liked Emma, and so did everyone who met her.

Especially Sluggo. He was very fond of that big girl.

She won the Grandparents over straight away. Here she is with Nana.

Even all the Pug Sluts loved her!

Anyway, Emma was not a huge fan of children. At least not the kind that like to run around crazy and fall on pugs, and I can't say I blame her. So, she came to stay with us while PRoNE found her the perfect forever family. It didn't take long!

Emma in the car on the way to meet her new family.

Pretty much love at first sight.

So, even though Mom and Dad were sad to leave Emma behind, they are happy that she gets a whole new family to love her forever. That's all any pug could hope for.

The best part was that on the way home, they got to stop for a visit with TJ at his new home!

He is doing so great!!! He is living like a king!

His new Mom and him love each other!

And that's what makes all the disruption to my kingdom worth it. 

Things around here are back to normal.....for now.
