Howl-o-Ween Weekend

Hello furiends! Its Howl-o-Ween weekend and I've been a very busy puggle.
Do you like my scary shirt? Mommy says no costumes this year (lucky us!) but she insists we wear these T-shirts. Mine says BOO.....did I scare you?

Ebby has a Pumpkin T-Shirt. Orange looks good on her pretty black coat I think!


"I don't know about this clothing thing......."


The weather here is so perfect for a day in the yard....Ebby and I were out enjoying the sunshine and breeze when all of a sudden......

OH NO! BATH TIME!
This is NOT what we were expecting!

BUT when we came back inside, Mommy had a nice surprise for us for being so good!
She had gone to this store called Pookie's and got us some new treats!
They are made by the K9 Granola Factory! Oats, Peanut Butter and Carob Chips!

I could hardly keep my paws off of them! Even Ebby was licking her chops just sniffing through the bag!

WAIT! That horrendous 4 letter word.....this is SUCH torture! you will notice Ebby and I fixated on our new treats waiting to hear the magic words....Go Ahead.

Hope you all have a very happy and very safe Howl-O-Ween!
We will be watching Mommy give away all of our chocolate!
Hopefully there is some left over so Ebby can knock the bowl over again! BOL!

Pillows, Treats and Bowls Oh my!

Do you like to lay on pillows? We like to lay on pillows. When the humans aren't on the couch to snuggle with, Ebby and I each find a pillow.

I like this one! It's where Daddy normally sits.

Ebby likes the one on the other corner. Don't we look comfy?

Well the humans bought us some new stuff this weekend. Ebby got new bowls! Hers are the green and red ones on the left. And we both got new bowl mats!
I must say, I am a tad concerned that my bowls have been moved to the corner of the hallway!
I used to eat in the kitchen and now I have been banished to the hallway with Ebby! I was so confused tonight I didn't even know where to find my dinner! BOL!

Oh, and we got some new yummy treats today too! Made with banana and yogurt! Deeelicious!

Hope all of my furiends had a great weekend! Mommy has been so busy at that work place lately, she hasn't had time to help me read all of your bloggies! So I demanded she find time for me this week! I'll be stopping by to see you all soon!

Halloween Abuse

It's that time of year again, when the spooky lights are lit up in the yard, the pumpkin flavored coffee is being drank by the humans, and the big giant tub of halloween candy is filled!
I thought that after 3 years of abuse, I would take matters into my own paws!

Abuse #1- Halloween 2007.....Mom you can't be serious, do I look like a pumpkin? No, of course not, I am a PUGGLE not a pumpkin! Geez....

Abuse #2- Halloween 2008....NOT a happy camper about this one! A skunk.....that's right, "Mommy's little stinker"....that's all I had to hear all night! Horrendous!

Abuse #3- Halloween 2009....SHARK ATTACK! Oh wait, again, I'm a puggle not a shark.

So this year, I decided to take matters into my own paws.
While Mommy was at work, and Daddy was running an errand, Ebby and I sniffed our way over to the giant tub of candy that was up on a table out of my reach. (But not out of Ebby's reach! BOL) See, she IS good for something! She jumped up and dumped the bowl onto the floor and me and her helped ourselves to some treats! Of course Mommy and Daddy don't think this is one bit funny!! I however, thoroughly enjoyed several packs of Starburst chewies which I think are still stuck in my teethers BOL! And yes, before you ask, we DID get into some chocolate too...so the humans are monitoring us like crazy now!
AND this is the best part......I have been dieting and doing extra walkies for the last 2 weeks because I have to get weighed in tomorrow at the vet! BOL BOL BOL! Guess I blew that one!

First Trip to the Dog Park!

The day is finally here! The day that we get to go to a dog park for the very first time!!

Ebby loves car rides! To the dog park we go!

We have arrived.....this is the West Orange Dog Park in Winter Garden, FL.
We stayed in the small dog size for dogs 30 lbs and under. The big dog side was full of HUGE dogs that could probably eat me for lunch!

Uh-Oh....this place means business! I guess I better be on my bestest puggle behavior!

Ebby wasn't as interested in sniffing out the scene as I was so she was posing for the puparazzi.

Ebby didn't really care for any dogs coming near her, so she had to stay on the leash. Poor Ebby. She doesn't know what playing is. But not me....I got to release the leash and off I went to make furiends!

This was the first pack of furiends I made. Even that big husky liked me!

This doggy was trying to outrun me......

Little did he know I run at lightning speeds!
WEEEEEEEEEEE you'll never catch me! I am fast like a greyhound! BOL

Oh hello new furiends!

Hey doxie, where did you go?!

These 2 were very sad to see me go! Good bye until next time!

On the road home.....best day ever!
Can't wait to do that again sometime! I can't believe all these years I've been missing out! Hopefully Ebby can learn how to play nice so she can have fun like me!

AWARD!

I received an award from Minnie and Mack's blog!

The award says I have to name 10 things about myself so here it goes!

1. I am named Bruschi, after Tedy Bruschi, formerly of the New England Patriots. Most people hear my name and assume I am "brewski" after the adult beverage BEER!
   
2. I am a wuss and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Mommy says I don't have a mean bone in my body!
   
3. I am deathly afraid of thunder, fireworks, and sewers.
   
4. The humans sleep with me at night in my big bed! I start by sleeping under the covers, draped across Mommy, then slowly work my way up so that my head is on Daddy's pillow and the covers are pulled right up to my neck. I think I am part human.
5. I absolutely LOVE dressing up. I get so excited when I see Mommy pull a coat, or sweater, or my Pj's out of the drawer! I even can dress myself! (with a little help of course)
6. I love food......all kinds....you name it, I'll eat it! (probably why I got up to the manatee sized puggle that I was at 37 lbs last year!!) When the humans eat, I sit there and literally drool all over the place! Being on a diet sucks! oooopss, am I allowed to say that?!
   
7. I have a routine in the morning after I poop. I take my poop and then proceed to do 100mph zoomies around Ebby! I feel so free and light! BOL! Sorry, TMI!
8. Speaking of Ebby.....she is my new sister. We adopted her in June. She's from "the streets"! Mommy says that she appreciates the life she has now, and that I don't! BOL!
9. I have never, I repeat, NEVER been off leash OR to a dog park! After the last couple of years of reading all of your bloggies, I feel like I am clearly missing out! So I am going this weekend!!
10. I love blogging! I am so happy to have so many blogging furiends and I always love making new ones!

I am supposed to pass this award on to 15 bloggers.......I don't know who has it and who doesn't so anyone that wants it, please feel free to take it!!

What a busy weekend!

Before I tell you about my busy weekend, I just have to say
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY PATRIOTS!
They beat Miami last night, 41 to 14!!!
Mommy said all of the Dolphins fans at work are moaning and groaning today BOL!
But enough about that.......on to me and Ebby!

Earlier this week, we had 2 straight days of rain......Ebby got to wear her new raincoat for the first time. She wasn't as eager to play dress up as I was!

So on Sunday, Mommy went Grocery Shopping and Ebby and I had to investigate what she brought home. We are not good helper's like Preston. If we sniff and don't find anything for us, we go back to laying on the sofas BOL!

After the humans went grocery shopping, they surprised me and Ebby with a trip to the lake! Ebby has never been on this walking trail before so there was lots for her to sniff and pee on!

Daddy says we walk so good together!

After a few miles, it was time for a water break! Ebby sure was thirsty!

It was kind of hot out so we stopped on a park bench to take in the breeze. You can tell we are hot.....our tongues are ginormous!

I think Ebby enjoyed her first walk at the lake! Mommy said that next weekend we get to go to a doggy park! Can you believe I have NEVER been to a doggy park?! Oh boy, I can't wait!
Wake me when it's the weekend!
