Happy Friday and Happy Weekend Everypup!

I found a way to get rid of thunderstorms

Last night, Mommy and I were out for our evening walk. Please pay no attention to the fact that I am shaped like a meatloaf! I was doing so good losing weight, but now that Florida summer is here, I can only walk early morning, and evening time because the afternoon heat is brutal! So anyways, here we were just walking along.......and I stumbled upon this....

What does that say? S-T-O-R-M ??? STORM!? Oh no get me outta here! I HATE storms!! THAT little hole is where all the big scary thunder booms and lightning strikes come from?! Can't we just cover up the hole to make the storms go away!?

I'm Back!

Let me start off my saying that the reason I have been MIA, is because Mommy's computer crashed, and we had to wait for Uncle Mark to come over and transfer all her data onto a new hard drive. Whatever the heck that means. So I am back to the blog world finally!

Well, as you all now know, I am a big wuss and afraid of loud thunder. As you can see, I am clinging to mommy's leg for dear life during a recent storm. We tried a variety of things and nothing is working great.

I still freak out during storms, and forget about it with the fireworks booming on the 4th of July! Mommy and Daddy did not leave my side the whole night. I found myself quite comfy and cozy however in my crate! It did help a little bit. I just wish the idiot neighbors would have stopped their stupid noises all night! I mean really humans, why must you light things on fire and watch them skyrocket into the air and make horrible booming sounds! I am convinced, the humans are definitely a strange breed.

Oh and here I am in the Man Room, posing with my pillow. Do we look alike? BOL

And today was a pawesome day! Not only did we get the computer fixed, but I got a new bed! How neat! Now I have 4 different beds to choose from while I lounge around the house! Of course at night, we all know I sleep in the big bed, so technically I have FIVE beds! BOL
Here is a picture of me proudly displaying my new bed!

Thunderstorm Anxiety?

Bruschi's mom here: I wanted to know if any of the dogs out there suffer from thunderstorm anxiety? This morning we had a terrible storm roll through Central Florida around 4am and for the first time Bruschi displayed signs of thunderstorm anxiety, and it was so scary! As a puppy, storms never really phased him. But the past few weeks, if a storm would hit, he would whimper, whine, pace around the house and bark back at the thunder claps. nothing too major. Well this morning he was trembling so bad, the entire bed was shaking. He was panting harder and faster than I've ever seen him pant, and as a result was excessively drooling. This went on for 45 straight minutes. We could not get him to stop shaking or panting. I tried to distract him, give him water, hide him under the covers, but he would not budge. As a puggle mom, lol, it was so hard for me to sit there and feel so helpless and not know how to help him! Once the storm came and went, he calmed down for about a half an hour, until the next storm hit, and it was the same response all over again! Does any other pups out there experience this? If so, what do you find works? I have read a few articles this morning online that mention anti-anxiety drugs, an anxiety wrap, relaxation techniques, distraction, etc.
Any input would be greatly appreciated! I don't want Bruschi to suffer like that again. Here in Florida, we are now in hurricane season, and have thunderstorms every afternoon! This could be very taxing on his health, especially since I am not home with him during the day!

Happy Dads with Doggy's day!

Happy Father's Day to all of you dad's out there! My dad is just a puggle daddy but I think that is the best kind of daddy! So in honor of his special day, I got him some very special presents!

This pillow is of course for his new man room! Who wouldn't want a pillow of Bruschi in there right? BOL

And here is a close up of the pillow and a travel coffee mug with of course, my face on it! And where did I get my daddy such pawesome gifts you ask? Well from Mr. Puggle of course! He has an online store where you can buy puggle merchandise! I simply sent him a few of my handsome portraits and he worked his magic! I can't wait to order more stuff! Thanks Mr. Puggle!

Wishing all of you daddy's out there a pawesome father's day!

Weekend visitors

This past weekend, Mommy's friend from Japan was in town to visit ME!! I can't believe they came just to see ME! This is me posing with Fumiko, and her husband Koya! They loved me! Of course, what's not to love.....

I was so excited to have visitors......almost too excited! BOL! Sorry for the indecent exposure here! I couldn't help it!

Man Room Update

WOW look at this fabulous new bed I have! It is HUGE! It takes up half of the living room! I must have been a good boy to deserve this! Mommy keeps saying something about, "it's the futon mattress from the man room", but whatever.......I am loving this!

Do you see Mr. Firebear anywhere in this mess? I sure don't. I am really getting worried. This is all the junk from the man room, shoved into the guest bedroom and boy what a mess these humans are making! I don't know how I will ever find Mr. Firebear in there......sigh......

The hell with Mr. Firebear, I just got a giant jar of Peanut Butter! Look how long my tongue is! BOL! I almost can reach the bottom. A giant jar of peanut butter, and my new giant bed! Life is good!

Here is Daddy.....putting together a bamboo puzzle on the floor. Geez, when will they ever be done with this silly project!
