Friday Firsts

Today Mommy was thinking about many of my "Firsts". Mainly because I am going to be going on my First Vacation next week! (you'll all hear about that later)
But in honor of my "Firsts", I thought I 'd share with you a few pictures.

This is my FIRST Car Ride! This is the day Mommy and Daddy picked me up at the airport. I was so sleepy, I really don't remember the car ride experience.

This is my FIRST Bath! I was so little that they actually bathed me in the kitchen sink! Now I am such a big boy that I go in the shower! BOL!

This FIRST I surely remember! It was my FIRST Snow Cone from the Ice Cream Truck! BOL! I heard that thing coming and I had never seen a truck with all sorts of music coming out of it! So Daddy flagged the truck down, I THOUGHT to go tell him to turn that silly music off, but instead, he came back with a Snow Cone! And boy was it deeeeelicious!

And coming soon.......my FIRST VACATION! I don't know what a Vacation is but Mommy has the suitcases out and she even packed a special bag full of my clothes, food, treats, favorite stuffie, a bone, and my blue blanky! Where could we be going?! I am getting excited!

Attention all Puggles!

Farewell to a Friend

RIP Ogie
Ogie was a huge part of a family friend's life for 16 years! That's right, Ogie lived to see his
Sweet 16th Birthday!

Unfortunately with age, comes illness. Ogie fought to live as long as he could until he knew it was time for him to go. He managed to see his Mommy turn 40 this year, just last month! Him and his mommy Ciara, were best friends! They did everything together and went everywhere together. Sadly, on Wednesday night, Ogie took a turn for the worst. Ciara knew it was time. Ogie had lived a long and happy life. Ciara did what was best for Ogie on October 1st, and let Ogie go to sleep. RIP Ogie. You will be missed by many. You will remain forever in our hearts.

By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,

Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.

Where the friends of man and woman do run,

When their time on earth is over and done.

For here, between this world and the next,

Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.

On this golden land, they wait and they play,

Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.

No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,

For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.

Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,

Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.

They romp through the grass, without even a care,

Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.

All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,

Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.

For just at that instant, their eyes have met;

Together again, both person and pet.

So they run to each other, these friends from long past,

The time of their parting is over at last.

The sadness they felt while they were apart,

Has turned into joy once more in each heart.

They embrace with a love that will last forever,

And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.

Do you know the Muffin Man?

Do you know the Muffin Man?
Well if you don't allow me to introduce MYSELF!
Mommy has lost it....see this stuff........
This is called PET HEAD. It is a waterless dog shampoo for in between baths. So not only do I take weekly baths, now I have to take baths in between baths! GEEZ!

And the scent......is BLUEBERRY MUFFIN! Hence why I am the Muffin Man! Why must I smell like a breakfast item Mommy?!














Luckily for me, it is a very quick "procedure." Just a few quick sprays, a wipe down with a towel, and I am ready to be served with morning coffee ! BOL!

Oh boy, here she comes with that stuff again.....

Funny Greeting Card

I just wanted to share a funny card that Mommy saw in Target this weekend.

On the front was a picture of a dog and it said:

"From the dog; I love you for everything you are, and for the one thing you are not."

And on the inside it says:

MICHAEL VICK!


HAHHAHAHA BOL!

Hopper in the Hopper!!

So Mommy woke up this morning to find this!!!! A Hopper in our Hopper! BOL (that's what I call froggies) Can you even believe it?! He was just hanging out, taking a dip in the pool! I know that the word on the street is that I've got quite the life going here and I am sure all the animals wish they were as lucky as me, but come on! Crawling up septic tank pipes and breaking into our house through the toilet?! Now that is just desperate Mr. Hopper!

And NO, we did not flush him. Mommy made Daddy get out of bed and scoop him up with a cup, then release him into the yard!


Onto other things.......Sargent's bowl arrived today from Mr. Puggle!!!
It is such a pawesome bowl! I can't wait to give it to him!

Mommy decided to pick up a few other items at the Pet Supermarket today to bring to Sargent with the bowl! I am VERY jealous! That lion toy looks like so much fun! I hope Sargent likes all his new toys!

A Second chance for Sargent

I'd like you to all meet Sargent. Sargent is a starved great dane who was rescued by a local Pet rescue here in Florida, Pet Rescue By Judy. When Mommy and I read his story and saw this horrible picture, we knew we had to do something to help him! Mommy sent some money his way, but then when I won Mr.Puggle's 200th post blog contest I knew I had to donate my winning bowl to Sargent!

Mommy has been in contact with Sargent's foster Mommy named Hope (how appropriate), and she sent us this wonderful picture of Sargent who is now doing so well and gaining weight and gaining his life back! Isn't he so handsome! I am so happy that he has been given a second chance at life! I wish every dog out there was as lucky as Sargent!

And yet more exciting news.......when the bowl arrives from Mr. Puggle, Mommy and I are going to go meet Hope and Sargent in person to give him his bowl! I can't wait!
