Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Furiends!

Santa Paws came he really came!!! Look at all those presents!

Mommy said we can open presents after a walk........of course we had to walk with these silly decorations on our necks! How humiliating!

But when we got back, I got right down to business!!

Sniff Sniff......whatcha got Mom? Bones for us?

Me and Ebby are pretty good at opening our own presents. This was Ebby's first christmas but she caught on quick!

Mommy said we were making a mess! But we were having fun so it's ok!

Here we are with all our new stuff! We are very thankful to have furiends and family that mailed us pressies, and for Santa Paws of course.

But now I think It's time for a nap.......I am pooped!

All that excitement tired poor Ebby out too!

Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and that Santa Paws was good to you!

Cuckoo for CoCo Puff

Ok Daddy said this is getting ridiculous.......it seems like every day there is a present or a card in the mail addressed to me and Ebby. Him and Mommy have got pretty much NOTHING this year! BOL!

This time the package came from CoCo Puff!! As you can see in this picture I quickly grabbed it and ran off with it.....Ebby didn't even get a chance to see it!

Let me at it! I can smell something tasty in here!
(Of course Mommy had to come open it with scissors, despite my best efforts!)

Gimme Gimme Gimme!!! I LOVE Jerky treats!

Ebby, check these out! These are deeeelicious! Can't wait to sink my teethers into these treats!

Thank you CoCo Puff!!!
Hope Santa Paws is good to you this year!

Your furiends, Bruschi & Ebby

Presents from Preston!

I can hardly believe my puggle eyes! ANOTHER box arrived today! This one is from our friend Preston the Puggle in Texas!!

Mommy had to help us get the box opened as usual. We could smell something delicious inside though!

OH boy, THREE stuffies and a box of Shortbread cookies!!!!

Fine hurry up and take our picture......we MUST have one of those cookies right away!

Sniff Sniff......oh these are going to be tasty! A puggle nose knows!

Thank you Preston for my Christmas Pressies!!
I can't wait to tear apart, I mean, play with my new stuffies! BOL!

Another Christmas Delivery!!!

Another box arrived today and it was addressed to me and Ebby!!
It was from our good puggle friends in New Jersey, Oliver and Jack!!!

Hurry up Mom, open it up!!!!!

OMD let me at it! It has my name on it!! It must be for me!!!

Ebby knew the pink one was for her!

Quick, hurry, I must get these new Pj's on!

Ebby's turn to get dressed!

Well, what do you think? Am I Pretty in Pink??

I have never worn Pj's before, Ebby was saying.

Look, they even have our names on them!!!

Thank you Oliver and Jack for our totally pawesome Pj's!! With all this cold weather lately, we sure do need them!!

This is Florida, right??

Whenever it gets really cold out, I like to ask Mommy if we moved. I get so confused. I am used to stepping outside to nice warm sunshine.......not wind chills in the teens!

This was the temperature here in Florida this morning! Can you believe it! And it's going to be colder tonight!

It's so cold, even our Palm Trees need blankets!!!

So me and Ebby are spending as much time out of the cold weather and in the comforts of our warm snuggly home!

We had to break out the sweaters last night to keep warm! Notice how we are both nestled up on Daddy? I was a bit upset because Ebby was in "my spot" but I found another spot that I settled with.....being the good brother that I am. (HINT HINT SANTA PAWS!)

Hope you are all staying warm!
I want to say that I am thankful for my warm clothes, warm house, and warm blankets because soooooo many puppies out there are roaming the streets and freezing. Ebby was once one of those puppies....now she will never have to be cold again! My wish this Christmas season is that every dog find a warm home to live in!

Our First Christmas Delivery

Me and Ebby got our first Christmas package in the mail!
It is from our friend Lainey the Puggle at Lainey's Pawtique!

Mommy bought us some delicious looking holiday cookies!

Ebby was VERY excited! She couldn't wait to get he paws on them!

BOL! She was trying to swallow the whole bag at once! What a piggy!!!

Sniff Sniff.......oh boy these smell deeeeelicious! I can't wait to eat one!
Thank you to Lainey and her Mama for these tasty treats!

Mommy's Little Helpers

I am apologizing in advance on the shabby camera work by Mommy. Daddy took her good camera to work so all she was left with was her crappy cell phone camera. But she insisted on taking pictures of the madness last night.



Here is Ebby, helping Mommy sort out all of the Christmas presents that need to be wrapped. (If you can see her that is) She was very well behaved....sat quietly and watched every move Mommy made. Mommy kept saying what a GOOD GIRL she was.

I on the other hand, am NOT so good when it comes to helping! I made it my mission to tear through every bag on the floor and run off with anything and everything I could get my paws on! I even helped Mommy Unwrap presents after she wrapped them! BOL! Mommy kept saying "YOU ARE A PAIN BRUSCHI!"

Good thing I am cute!

Forgotten Dog's Christmas

I wanted to share with you all a poem that I think has major impact during this holiday season. It really makes you sad and really makes you think. The final verse speaks volumes! Please share with anyone you know!

FORGOTTEN DOG’S CHRISTMAS

Author unknown

Twas the night before Christmas
when all thru the house

Not a creature was stirring
not even a mouse.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nick soon would be there.

The children all nestled snug in their beds
With no thought of the dog filling their head.

And mom in her kerchief and I in my cap
Knew the dog was cold, but didn’t care about that.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash
Figuring the dog was free of his chain and into the trash.

The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow
gave the luster of mid-day to objects below.

When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But Santa Clause with his eyes full of tears.

He unchained the dog once so lively and quick
Last year’s Christmas present now painfully sick.

More rapid than eagles he called the dog’s name
and the dog ran to him despite all his pain.

Now Dasher, now Dancer, now Prancer and Vixen
On Comet on Cupid on Donner and Blitzen.

To the top of the porch to the top of the wall
Let’s find this dog a home where he will be loved by all.

I knew in an instant there would be no gifts this year
For Santa had made one thing quite clear.

The gift of a dog is not just for the season
We had gotten the dog for all the wrong reasons.

In our haste to think of the kids a gift
There was one important thing we missed

A dog should be family, and cared for the same
You don’t give a gift, then put it on a chain.

And I heard him explain as he rode out of site,
“You weren’t given a gift, you were given a life.”

Christmas Pup-A-Razzi

Well, the crazy lady that I call Mommy is at it again......holiday pictures for our Christmas Cards!
This is the first time I'll be sharing my card with my sister Ebby!
These are not "card photos", but just a glimpse into the craziness that I must ensue with the pup-a-razzi!

Do I look distinguished? I am a ham for the camera.....so I am told!

Ebby was hiding behind the reindeer....she said that Mommy would never find her there!

PLLLLLLLEASE with the flash lady! Our eyes can't take much more of this!

Oh bother.....being a model sure is hard work! Quick nap break!

We are tired! No more pictures please!
Mommy took 58 pictures of us....I am SURE she can find a few good ones in there!
I HOPE! BOL

Thanksgiving Weekend

HAPPY THANKSGIVING WEEKEND!

Sorry we are just getting to blogging....Mommy has been very busy these last few days!
While she was busy getting ready for our Tofurky Dinner, (yes that is right.....the humans don't eat turkey here), Ebby and I were hanging out in the "Man Room"

Mommy got us these special Thanksgiving Dinner treats! They smelled like a traditional turkey dinner but looked like a sausage. Very strange!

Oh boy....I am STUFFED!

How about you Ebby? Ebby??? Yep.....she's stuffed too!
Thank goodness we have a full day of football to watch and be lazy all day!

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

You want me to eat WHAT?

Hello furiends!
My weekend started out like this......with me and Ebby staring down Daddy for his pb&j sandwich!

I like to let Daddy know that I am ready and waiting for a bite by draping myself across his lap. BOL
So after the stare down, the humans headed off to do what they always do on weekends....run errands. This Saturday was the grand opening of a new doggy store in town called Woof Gang Bakery!

They picked up my delicious food called SoJo's. Just add water and a yummy, chunky meal of vegetables and turkey is in my bowl!

AND THEN.... the STRANGE treats. Mommy brought us home bully sticks because we love those, but she also brought home these DEER ANTLERS. Yes, that is right you heard me correctly.....deer antlers.

Sniff Sniff.....I don't know about this one Mommy. Did you have to kill Rudolph for this?

Ebby (showing off her new christmas collar) was very anxious to bite into Rudolph's antlers!

Nom Nom Nom, right under the table she went with hers!

Still not too sure about this.....I like to thoroughly investigate new items....

OK I guess I can try chewing it......

MMMM these are great!
Turns out, these deer antlers are pretty much indestructible.....Puggle and Bugg Tested and Approved! And they are made of pure calcium so they are great for our teethers!
And no reindeer or Rudolph was hurt in this post......Deers naturally shed their antlers! (So I am told!)
Hope you all had a fun weekend!
