Santa Paws Came!

Merry Christmas Everyone! As you know, Daddy is a firefighter so he had to work today on Christmas so Santa Paws made an early delivery to our house so we could open gifts on Christmas Eve!

ummm....we are waiting.....is it time yet?

2 years ago on Christmas Eve, Mommy's Gram passed away, so Mommy makes her Gram's famous Ricotta Pie in her memory. It sure looks delicious!

Family picture time before the madness!

Ebby and I didn't know where to start first so we just tore open anything and everything!

I hope these ones are for us!

Ebby's showing off her new monkey!

I was more interested in the edibles....sniff sniff, someone crack this open! I think the jar is puggle proof!!

Ok so I have to say that I think we made out pretty good this year......this picture doesn't even include all the food items we got. Mommy says that all of her furiends and family members spoil us!
But we don't live very long lives, so Mommy says it's important that every day we know how much we are loved.
My Christmas wish this year is that every dog out there that needs a home finds one. This is Ebby's 2nd Christmas with us and I think she won the doggy lottery by us adopting her! I wish that every doggy out there wins the doggy lottery too!
We are also going to make a donation to a local animal shelter for all the dogs who don't have homes, or warm blankets, or toys, or treats this holiday season. It is the LEAST we could do.

Merry Christmas everyone!!

My First Christmas Package!

Oh boy, our very first Christmas package arrived today for me and Ebby, from Mommy's friend Nicole who lives in Massachusetts!

As you can see, we couldn't get our noses into the box fast enough!!

Thanks Nicole! This sure looks like a present full of fun!!!

A gingerbread stuffy, a christmas bandana, and 4 different holiday cookies!! The ones shaped like trees are for breath freshening! BOL!

Ok let us at it!!! I am wearing the bandana like a cape!!

Sniff Sniff, now which cookies should we try first?!?

Ok my bib is on......Treats please!! Give Ebby one of those breath trees....I'll take a chocolate covered candy cane bone! BOL!

Thanksgiving, Motorcycles and Presents!

Why hello there! It's just me, Bruschi, checking in to see if you all had a Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving morning, while Mommy was cooking, I was playing pig pile on Daddy! It's our favorite game! Ebby is in the background sitting in her bed (if you can see her that is)

Yep, another Vegetarian Thanksgiving feast! While all of you pups were enjoying turkey.....Ebs and I got the fake stuff! Mommy made the usual Tofurky roast and tried another brand this year. She said Tofurky wins hands down!

Here we all are after dinner. Mommy is doing dishes and getting the dessert ready, so I stole her seat! BOL! Ebby is sitting with Daddy and that's my Uncle Mark and Auntie Darcy!

The next day, Mommy and Daddy got a free 2 day Harley rental! We got to check the bike out....pretty sweet! We just don't like when it moves or makes noises!

And what have we here.....sniff sniff.....Ebby and I couldn't get our noses out of the bags fast enough! SOMEONE has been shopping! That can only mean one thing......Christmas is coming! which means......SANTA PAWS is coming!!!!!!!!!

So we sit and wait......anxious and ready!
We have been VERY GOOD pups this year Santa Paws!!! Don't forget us!!!!
I hope he finds us this year seeing we moved.......oh brother.....

Torture

Is this really necessary?

Pugsgiving 2011

Happy Pugsving Day- November 12, 2011

This is me and Ebby's 2nd year attending this Pugtacular Event!

This sign represents the senior pugs and special needs pugs that are seeking a furever home!

I did a lot of butt sniffing, while Ebby strutted her stuff in her denim skirt outfit!

We event met a Pug on Wheels! Her name is Fiona! She gets around pretty good on that device! She too is looking for a furever home!

Me, Ebby and Daddy were peeking in the different pens and saying hello to new furiends.

This must be the senior citizen section because boy, were they lazy! BOL!

We even had professional pictures taken by a photographer that was working at the event.

And here's our family shot! I think we make a pretty cute family, what do you think?

Happy Howl-O-Ween!!!

Happy Howl-o-ween furiends!
Today Mommy got to dress up for work.....here she is with her staff.....Sheila the biker chick and Charity the Bumble Bee!

We waited all day for Mommy to come home to take pictures with us in our costumes! Mommy loves that she is the devil and Ebby is the angel....I think it should be the other way around! BOL!

Mommy loves us, in case you couldn't tell

Ok enough pictures, time for some treats!
And I apologize for my indecent exposure in this picture! Mommy kept asking me if I wanted cookies and cookies gets me really excited! BOL

Hope you all have a safe and Happy Howl-O-Ween!!

Costume Crazy!

Yep, it's officially that time of year again when the humans have gone Costume Crazy!
Howl-O-Ween is fast approaching so you know what that means......

This year I am a Fire Dog, just like My Daddy!

Ebby is a sweet, innocent, ANGEL!

Sniff Sniff, you don't smell so sweet and innocent to me Ebby!!! Is this halo for real?

Well there you have it......we are ready for Howl-0-Ween.
I must say, Mommy has done an incredible job of keeping the candy out of Ebby's reach this year. For those of you who remember, Ebby found all of the candy last year and gorged herself....so maybe that's why they made her an "angel" this year.....because she hasn't done so yet. I hope they have a devil costume prepared for a backup!! BOL

Rain Rain Go Away!

Ok, I thought we lived in the SUNSHINE STATE!
WHAT the HECK is going on here?!

We have had torrential rain for 3 days now! Ebby is not thrilled about having to wear her raincoat but she sure does look adorable in it!!

Here we go again.....Mom get your umbrella! Time to brave the storm! We gotta pee!!!

Power of the Paw Needed

Furiends, your help is needed!
My mommy's best friend Caitlyn just found out that her 5 year old beagle mix, Brady, has been diagnosed with Dilated Cardio Myopathy, and has been given just months to live.
This is devastating news to her family, as well as mine.

Just last year, these are the same friends that lost their beloved lab Maddie to cancer tragically.
Two dogs, in Two years, both so young.

When Mommy visited Caitlyn last year, she called Brady the "Bra Bandit" because he would sneak into her suitcase and run off with her bras! BOL! That is the face of an innocent dog, don't ya think!? BOL!


So furiends, I beg and plead that you send the power of the paw to Brady and to his family that he is not suffering and that he may continue to live as long as a life as possible. He is on medications and will have to have regular EKG's to monitor his heart. Mommy's heart is breaking for Caitlyn and her family right now. Looking at Brady's face....how can you not love him.
Thanks for reading furiends!

My first package in my new home!

Thank goodness the mail carrier knew that I moved! How else would I get my special packages from my special furiends?!

Today the mail man delivered a box to me and Ebby from Preston and his family!
Preston's mommy even sent Mommy a beautiful candle as a housewarming gift! But she took that out of the box before me and Ebby got ahold of it.

Sniff Sniff...what is in here Ebs???

Oh boy, look at all this stuff!!! And look at the smiles on our faces! We are HAPPY!

Ebby took a particular liking to the bees hive and managed to break ALL the bees squeakers in less than 5 minutes! (She ruins EVERYTHING!)

I ran off with my new sock monkey so Ebby couldn't ruin that too!

Oh and those Treats were DEEELICIOUS! Mommy gave us each THREE of them because we were so behaved! (well, other than Ebby killing the squeakers that is)

Thank you to my pal Preston and to his family for thinking of us!
We really love all of our new stuff!!

Settling in and Snuggling around

Why hello there furiends! I haven't blogged since I moved into my new home and I wanted to tell you how it was going!

Well I found this great new blanket that I love cuddling in....

Oh and this is another blanket I have taken a liking to!

Nothing beats snuggling on Mommy though.....and did you notice how close me and Ebby were?

Since moving in, we are becoming an even closer brother and sister!
Mommy is very happy about this!

I also like to lay like a human on my back while snuggling with Daddy!

Well there you have it......since moving in, it took me a solid week to settle down but now I am loving my new home, loving my sister Ebby, loving my humans, and LOVING all the blankets and snuggling I've been doing! Mommy thinks I am even more relaxed here than at my big house! I've met tons of new furiends.....a lot of them are pugs! Mommy loves that since she volunteers with Pug Rescue of Florida! Hopefully I'll get some pictures of me and my new buddies!
Bruschi....signing off!
