Into the Maw of Summer

The all-devouring heat of south central Texas has arrived. Outdoor activity for Pugs is limited and rides to town almost completely eliminated unless destinations are those establishments that allow entry to dogs.

The canine population here is spending most of the day inside with air conditioning. Even Buddy. It's just too hot out there! 106 on our shaded deck yesterday! Blimey!

Chloe is settling down a bit and for that we are all pleased. Mom posted a couple of videos of Chloe in the wading pool. Have a looksee and a laugh Mom's YouTube

Mom's been updating the web site a bit, adding links to my Twitter friends' sites. I'm still voting on the Twitterwall Pugs. I hear the contest closes July 2. Not too soon for me!

Woof!

June

Oh my! Summer has arrived. Can't say I'm all that pleased. Fewer car trips with Dad, less time meandering around outside. Too hot! Don't get me wrong, I like a snooze in the sun as well as any Pug, but I'm not really equipped to handle temps over 90 in the shade! Mom puts a "Pug play pool" out in the yard, but Hooter is the only one who really seems to enjoy it. All that water...I just don't know.

I have lots of new friends on Twitter. Mom bought a book written by one of my friends. It's called Summer Pugs. Check it out. And don't forget to check out my own book, FROM POUND TO PRICELESS over on Blurb.

It's time to start shopping for Dad's Day. Dad helped us furkids give Mom a plant and flower pot for Mom's Day. Don't know what we're going to do for Dad, but Mom's already found the perfect card...it has PUGS on it!

Woof!

Am I getting Geeky?

I fear my Twittering has led me along a path to Geekdom. I've been having so much fun and have met so many friendly Pugs that Mom actually selected her new cell phone with the idea of tweeting from it for me. She checks out all the new Twitter apps with a zest formerly reserved for her photo processing. One of my TV faves, The Dog Whisperer, has a Twitter account and I'm a faithful follower. Seriously, I'm trying to get Mom to sign me up for a Facebook account so I can sign on as one of Daddy's fans!

Mom says this is not being a geek. She says geeks go more for technical knowledge and that I'm just getting into the social networking. OK, I can deal with that. I'm a dog. I'm a social creature. So I don't need to be a geek...but I need a geek to help me out with my social networking...so SHE is the geek, right?

I can live with that.

Woof!

What? Another Pug?

I really can't believe it! And now we are 6. Six Pugs, that is. Oh, it's a sad tale.

Meet Muttley!




Muttley has been here before. Several months ago we babysat for him while his parents took a little trip.

Now it seems his mom's daughter moved in with a couple of her kids and the kids are mean to Muttley. Poor Muttley, what's a Pug to do? His tail just drooped all the time!

So now he lives with us. He's OK. I've had to let him know who's the boss a couple of times, but he learns quickly. I think I'll let him stay.

WOOF!
