The New Guy Ships in 3 Weeks

Sorry for showing this kinda sad picture, but, I am just so happy for my friend TJ, and how far he has come, that I want you all to see his progress too!

So, the new guy had a nice lady come and meet him last week.She even brought her dog Kee. Not a pug, but she was pretty cool considering we all were right up in her snout!

Here she is when she and TJ had a moment. Up until then, TJ was following her around, checking her out, but she hadn't been captivated by his charm yet. One look in those eyes, and it was over!  After this, they were totally bonding. Check it out...

I heard Mom and Dad talking about how TJ will be going to live with that nice lady and her dog. I won't lie, I am really going to miss having him around.

 

He has really added some sunshine to our home this winter Even though Sluggo gave him some shit about sharing Mom's lap!. He taught me a little too. (but don't tell anyone!)

You see, prior to coming to stay with us, TJ had fallen on some hard times. He was pretty scared, and kinda sad too.  Once he got into our pug rehab program, and started feeling better, he never looked back!

His tail hasn't stopped wagging since!

He helped me see, through another pugs eyes, just how lucky we are. Sometimes I forget that not all pugs live the glamorous life like I do. He has shown appreciation for everything he has received here.

So, that is why I know it is time for him to move on. If he stays on much longer, he will be totally corrupted by us spoiled pugs.

A little may have rubbed off all ready.

Any way,  I will update you about his transition, and we will have a big send off for him before he leaves.

I have to tell you all about the awesome treats that The Honest Kitchen sent us, so stay tuned for that. In the meantime, one more shot of TJ and Kee!

She is getting a little buddy, to go around with her!

Greetings From Blizzard Central

Hi everyone!!! Now that I have had my humans held captive for nearly five days straight, I have been able to get Mom to finally post something for my eagerly awaiting friends.

 

As anyone who hasn't been stuck in a kennel without access to TV knows, there was a huge blizzard up in my neck of the woods. We are all fine. We were very lucky not to have lost any power, and to have been stocked up on treats before the storm hit. In fact, The Honest Kitchen hooked us up with some awesome treats, and we will be reviewing the tasty morsels before long!

 

No, that is not me frolicking in the snow up top. That is our pal TJ. He has really turned out to be quite an wonderful house guest.  I will be sorry to see him go., but I heard talk of a meet and greet with an awesome pug loving lady that is supposed to take place later this week. She has a girl dog and she works from home. TJ will really love that, because let me tell you, he does not like it when Mom leaves the room, let alone the house.
Here he is following her right out into the blizzard!!!
 

 

Here he is helping her post.

 

 

 

 



The thing is though, that TJ will soon be moving on. We have done our best to fix him up, and get him ready to set sail to his forever home. He went to see my Vet this past week, and they did some stuff to his boy parts. they took out a bunch of his teeth, and he only has 3 left!! He still manages to get the job done come mealtime!

It won"t be the same around here without him, even Sluggo has grown to really like him.

TJ, Sluggo, Brigitte and me

We will keep you posted on his potential new Mom, and stay tuned to hear about these scrumptious treats we got from The Honest Kitchen. Of course, how can they go wrong? We already know what an amazing job their food does to keep us happy and healthy. TJ was like a new pug within 2 short weeks of eating it!!


One more thing...
There is a certain favorite parent celebrating a birthday tomorrow. He and Mom were hurting for some sweets during the blizzard, so she baked his cake early.

Happy Birthday Dad!!!!!

Another New Guy ~ Meet TJ

There is a new, new guy in town. They call him TJ.
He came here last weekend, and I think he is pretty cool.






When he first got here, he was pretty nervous, and he has some problems. But he has really done pretty well over the week, and is starting to fit in around here.






I liked him straight out of the gate. I mean what's not to love about have some fresh man meat around to pay you some attention? Sluggo, not so much...





I think TJ made him nervous at first, because he can't see so good, and Sluggo doesn't really like getting sniffed up on. That, plus this new guy reeeeeeeeeealy likes Mom. Sluggo is not a fan of sharing the Mom. But, after a few days, Sluggo really is coming around, and starting to be a really good foster brother. I think it has something to do with the talk I had with him. See, unlike me and Sluggo, who have never had to struggle through anything, TJ has had a few tough breaks. He needs a little extra TLC right now, so Sluggo agreed to be cool.






Brigitte says he can stay, as long as he stays out of her way. She said she's too old for these pugs to be coming and going, so as long as they don't invade her personal space, she's good.

TJ has some stuff to take care of, but when he's done, he will be available for adoption through Pug Rescue of New England.





In the meantime, he is doing a really good job politicking to stay on staff here.

We had a lovely Christmas, and are looking forward to the New Year. We hope that all of our blogging buddies, are happy, healthy safe and loved. We really appreciate each and every one of you. Look for another post soon, but in the meantime, I will leave you with some of my favorite moments of the day.





Sluggo chilaxin' in his Santa hat




Brigitte tried it on too. Not a fan!




We had a white Christmas




She much preferred hanging out with Grampy in her Christmas dress.




While I am happiest at my Daddy's side.




Or sitting right on top of him, if necessary!




Brigitte was hoping to enjoy an after dinner cigar with uncle Bill, but second hand smoke is too dangerous.





She was just as happy to sit with Mom.

An Unspeakable Tragedy

Our hearts are heavy with grief for the innocent lives lost in Sandy Hook CT. Please keep the community of Newtown Connecticut and the families and loved ones of those killed, close to your hearts as they move through this horrific event.

A list Blogger in da Hizouse!!!

 

 

 

 

Well, technically, she wasn't in my house, but she was in my car!!!

 

Yep, that is Ellie , Brutus and Angel Yoda's Mom, of The Pugs Strike Back fame.

She came to CT for some work thing, and my Mom got to spend the afternoon with her.

 

 

Guess where they went?!!!!!

Only my favorite restaurant in the universe!

The Corner Pug!

 

No, she didn't actually choke on lunch. This is a picture they sent to those Pug Slut friends. You know the ones. The real reason I don't get to blog as much anymore. But that is OK, cuz guess what?!

 

When Mom got home she had prezzies for us from Brutus and Ellie!

 

 

They sure smelled good. We recognised the smells right away from when we got to meet Brutus and Ellie in the fur.

Not just any sock monkey, a holiday sock monkey


Here is a picture of Sluggo hoarding all three lammies

 

He is so greedy.

But there was one thing he definitely knew was his!

 A brand new awesome rope toy specially from Ellie!

Sluggo and Ellie love them some rope toys. One of the many things they have in common.

Thanks you guys for the killer toys. Hope you have a great holiday. Next time your humans come to the 203's, you need to come too!



I am Home * a guest post from frankie*

 

Ahem, um, hi everyone! I'm Frankie, and Wilma has allowed me to guest post here on her blog.

 

So, most of you will recognise me from Wilma's previous post about Franksgiving weekend. Well I have been stayin' here over the past couple of weeks, and at first I thought I was gonna be stayin' for good.

I mean, it seemed like it, considering how much everyone loved up on me when I got here. Well, maybe not everyone.

 

 

I came up against a little resistance from this guy at first. They call him Sluggo. It seems he and I had a fondness for the same thing. The lady in the houses lap. Yep, it is warm, and ample, and when you sit there you are sure to get many pets.

 

 

Well, I guess Sluggo considers this his most valued resource, and he liked to guard it with a vengeance at first. But just as we were all learning to share. That's right, there is room enough for all of us...

 

 

Some new people came to the house to meet me.

 

 

They were very nice, and they seemed to really like me. Next thing I know, we were going for a walk. I thought, wow! these guys are great. They must know how much I love walkies. I even pooped for them.

 

 

 

So then the lady with the nice lap took some pictures of me with these new people, and I noticed that my crate was getting taken out of the house again.  

 

 

I started to get a little confused. I mean, what'd I do?

 

 

I mean, I kinda understood why I had to leave my last home. I was peein' and stuff, and their resident pug was kinda nervous around me. But I had been on my best behavior here. Wilma really liked me.

 

 

 

Brigitte was cool with me...

 

 

Heck, even Sluggo was coming around...

 

 

And I knew the humans loved me. They told me all the time. They gave me a nice bath, and were feeding me very tasty food. In fact, just the night before, they let me sleep in the big bed!!!

 

It didn't make sense, but then as she was saying goodbye, the lady with the lap told me something that one of her friends told her when she was feeling sad about letting me go.

 

She told me that her and the other man human were just holding onto me long enough to get my heart ready to be loved.

 

And last night, as I was sitting with my new Dad watching football, I felt it. That kind of love other dogs have told me about.

 

Forever love.
