Slave to the Pug

Sun Bunnies

2010-01-29T21:01:00.003-05:00

Me and my bro, Scout, love snoozing in the sun in Mom's studio in the mornings!

Santa's little helper

2009-12-24T13:45:00.003-05:00

Piewhackit's pooped from all the holiday preparations-time for egg nog and a nap! Happy Holidays to everyone!

Who said anything about Labor?

Me and my shadow

2009-04-28T15:18:00.002-04:00

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

2009-04-07T10:21:00.002-04:00

Still recuperating from New Year's

2009-01-11T14:25:00.001-05:00

Best buds

2008-10-24T15:18:00.001-04:00

Bona-fide Dawg fan!

2008-10-03T08:44:00.006-04:00

Gooooo Dawgs! Sic' em!

Now where are you going to sleep?

2008-08-25T14:20:00.001-04:00

Chillin' with Mom and her Mac

2008-08-07T18:14:00.004-04:00

Me and my Pooh

2008-07-29T21:58:00.002-04:00

C'mon! Let's play!

2008-07-18T16:46:00.004-04:00

All work and no play makes for a very bored pug!

Hey...how 'bout a puppy pad for this chair?

2008-06-28T11:32:00.005-04:00

Did you say treat?

2008-06-11T09:45:00.002-04:00

Wanna lick that Leica!

2008-05-31T15:19:00.003-04:00

Just when I was getting a little R&R, Mom gets another camera! It's a ~~Licka~~ Leica and she's just giddy over it. It's smaller than her big camera (more my size!) so she can carry it around with her even more places. Look out world!

Hey...where 'ya goin'?

2008-05-09T07:48:00.003-04:00

My Mom's are high-tailin' it out of here for a few days to Boston and I hope they bring me back somethin' neato (and I don't mean another Boston Terrier brother...one is enough)!

Daydreaming pug

2008-04-24T11:39:00.003-04:00

Hmmm...wonder how long 'til dinner time....?

A favorite toy...

2008-04-13T19:12:00.001-04:00

is like a fine wine...savor it!

All played out

2008-04-06T19:07:00.002-04:00

Being a pug is a ruff-tuff job!

Cuddle pug

2008-04-04T15:16:00.004-04:00

I love to curl my paws around my face when I nap...plus I know I look too darn cute when I do this!

Me and My Monkey

2008-03-20T10:50:00.005-04:00

Of course, I mean the monkey in my mouth, not the one behind me suckin' on his bear!

On the road to recovery!

2008-03-01T15:48:00.007-05:00

We got some great news and I don't have to go to chemo camp again after all...or get radiated!! I feel much better...now time to whoop-up on Pooh!

My big sister, Duncan

2008-02-20T09:16:00.008-05:00

We said a sad goodbye to my sister, Duncan yesterday. She was almost 17 years old and her little body just finally gave out. I'm gonna miss her licks and love. This photo was taken a few years back...she was the best cuddler ever!

In loving memory of Duncan 1991-2008

The reluctant patient

2008-02-16T11:07:00.005-05:00

I went for my regular check-up Monday and next thing ya know, I wake-up in diapers made of bandages...how embarrassing! At least they made them bikini style the second fitting.

This is all too familiar...I went through this routine back in 2005 and had to go to chemo camp once a week all summer long. I overheard my Mommie's talking to my doctor and we are waiting to see how long I have to go to camp again this time. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to go ever again but, looks like I'm gonna have to go back. So, everyone keep their fingers and paws crossed for me!

Snoozin' in the studio

2008-01-27T18:19:00.001-05:00

Mom's new red chair rocks!

Cuddle time

2008-01-19T16:18:00.001-05:00

It's cold, raining, and just plain icky out...time to crash my big sister's bed!

Best friends

2008-01-13T12:51:00.000-05:00

Editors note: No staging done here -I walked in and found them just like this! Too cute!

Not another football game!

2008-01-08T17:27:00.000-05:00

Playtime!

2008-01-05T14:15:00.001-05:00

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

2007-12-22T17:12:00.000-05:00

   Yummmm...I see a treat...
   come here you tasty morsel...
   *sniff* Hey! Carrots are for REINDEERS!
   *Sigh* I can't work like this!

Awestruck pug

2007-12-04T14:34:00.001-05:00

Did you see that?! I love takin' in all the action in the park across the street!

Pug 'n polka dots

2007-11-19T14:50:00.000-05:00

Confiscated my bro's bear again!

2007-11-15T12:52:00.001-05:00

...and Mom caught me on camera!

Dog tired

2007-10-23T22:21:00.000-04:00

all this sleepin' and eattin' will wear a pug out!

Personality plus!

2007-10-08T13:03:00.000-04:00

Being a diva can be so tiring...

2007-10-05T19:24:00.001-04:00

Did anyone say new camera?

2007-09-22T17:27:00.000-04:00

Mom just couldn't resist the new Canon 40D-and I'm workin' overtime as a result...time for a puggy raise!

Coffee, please

2007-09-20T18:09:00.001-04:00

Nothing like spending the mornings in bed-every day, all day long.
Life is good for the pug!

You can never have too many

2007-09-07T13:06:00.000-04:00

...toys!
Mom was testing out her new little Canon PowerShot and I have to say, I'm sure glad she that she doesn't use flash most of the time-it makes my puggy eyes bulge even more!

Lazy, hazy summer days

2007-08-05T18:27:00.000-04:00

JellyBean (with her summer hairdo) and me have decided to hang-out in the the cool ac these days...and we've taken over the couch-yep, this place has definitely gone to the dogs!

Sigh...

2007-07-07T12:39:00.000-04:00

I'm sorry to say that Mom hasn't been posting as much because of another loss in our family. My Aunt Barbie passed away last week. Once again, my heart is filled with puggy sadness.

Pie and her plant

2007-06-09T12:57:00.001-04:00

This is one of my favorite spots to chill...in the shade of my favorite plant.

Happy Memorial Day weekend!

2007-05-27T12:52:00.001-04:00

I smell folks grillin'!

Me and UGA

2007-04-27T14:44:00.000-04:00

Chillin' and sunnin' with my good buddy (one day I hope to get the real one to come play!).

Supermodel at work

2007-04-07T16:19:00.000-04:00

Chillin'

2007-03-26T17:44:00.000-04:00

...and she also makes a great fuzzy pillow!

A big puggy welcome to JellyBean!

2007-02-25T13:11:00.000-05:00

We open our paws to cousin JellyBean, who came to live with us a week ago today...Granma would be pleased!

Lensbaby and Pie-baby

2007-02-09T18:15:00.000-05:00

Mom's friend loaned her his lensbaby (that's a funny name for a camera lens) to play around with...and of course, I am always the willing model!

More holiday mania!

2007-01-06T14:42:00.000-05:00

Mom was having so much fun with me, that she drug my goober brother into the act..of course, he's not a natural, like me.

HAPPY HOWL-LA-DAYS!

2006-12-20T18:10:00.000-05:00

Love,

Pie (a.k.a. Rudolph the pug)

Too much turkey!

2006-12-01T18:41:00.000-05:00

H stands for...

2006-10-31T16:47:00.000-05:00

Happy Howl-o-ween!

...and also for how humiliating!

It's a pug's life

2006-10-12T14:52:00.000-04:00

Eat...drink...play...sleep...*repeat*

(aka the "pug mantra")

Life on the porch

2006-09-29T11:15:00.000-04:00

My favorite place in the whole world...especially in the Fall! Ahhhhh! pug-a-wonderful!

Football season is here!

2006-09-03T12:56:00.000-04:00

...and as bittersweet as it is, I'm ready for the big Florida State vs Miami game tomorrow night-I'm gonna bark extra loud for Granma too! WOOF, WOOF!!
(That's pug-speak for GO 'NOLES!!).

Granma

2006-08-23T18:28:00.000-04:00

Granma had a stroke this past June and unfortunately, she just couldn't overcome it and she left us yesterday.

My puggie heart is heavy with sadness...I love you Granma and I will miss you terribly.

Tangled up in life...

2006-08-04T13:39:00.000-04:00

...is pretty much the theme these days. Unfortunately Granma continues to struggle with her health, and Mom has been out of town a great deal this last month and a half as a result.

Still keeping my paws crossed-this puggie loves her Granma very much!

Sometimes things just bite

2006-07-11T18:07:00.000-04:00

Sorry there haven't been any recent updates as of late. Mom has been out of town for the last three weeks 'cause Granma has been in the hospital. She's in rehab now and I'm keeping my paws crossed that she'll be out soon!

Camo-pug

2006-06-11T11:13:00.000-04:00

I love to hide under the chair and snooze...of course, Mom always manages to find me with her camera. The puparazzi strkes again!

Whatta week

2006-06-02T09:27:00.000-04:00

Whew...too many pugaritas over the Memorial Day holiday. I need my beauty rest!

Hot dog

2006-05-21T00:58:00.000-04:00

The temperature hit 96 degrees today and I was panting like crazy-time to break out the blender and whip up some pugaritas!

Not another camera!

2006-05-10T23:15:00.000-04:00

Prepare yourselves...Mom has a new camera! Just smile and say "treat".

Bear necessities

2006-04-29T11:40:00.000-04:00

I love to confiscate my brother's bear...someone has to be the bratty sister!

Pug of leisure

2006-04-11T11:00:00.000-04:00

Err...I mean LADY of leisure, of course!

Happy Birthday Granma and Duncan!

2006-03-27T21:52:00.000-05:00

Lots of love, licks, and fur,

Your loving little puggy sister and grandog, Pie

Olan Mills moment

2006-03-18T17:51:00.000-05:00

When Mom got her Canon DSLR camera last summer, she went a little bonkers with it (well, she's still a bit bonkers, now that I think of it). No place is safe from the camera. I tried hiding under my favorite chair but to no avail, so I just decided to strike a pose and make the best of it (oh, who am I kidding-everyone knows the pug is the camera diva).

Bad Mommy!

2006-03-05T10:06:00.000-05:00

I'm not going to fire her, but looks like I'll have to discipline my blog editor Mom-she is woefully behind with posting! In all fairness, she has been a little busy, so I'll go easy on her. Just a minor puggy lashing will do...of course, she's already puggy-whipped!

Watchin' the world go by

2006-02-09T16:42:00.000-05:00

I can't wait for Spring! My Moms will open up my favorite room...the porch! Me and my brother love to sneak up on the table and tell the people in the park across the street what for (especially the ones with their furry kids). Yeah, we're tough...until we get caught!

Don't I have a cute butt?

The artist's apprentice

2006-02-01T14:58:00.000-05:00

I love hangin' out with my Mom in her studio. I'll tell you a pug secret: She really gets all her inspiration from me!

Got milk?

2006-01-27T14:47:00.000-05:00

I've got my Mom really well trained (well, at least one of 'em). Every morning she shares a little bite of her breakfast with moi. I guess I got a little carried away the other day. You should see me when she has oatmeal!

Flower Child

2006-01-25T15:02:00.000-05:00

Peace, love, and pugs!

Almost famous

2006-01-21T16:00:00.000-05:00

I'm all excited because I'm going to be in a book-this very photo! Ok, so I wasn't too thrilled when Mom took this picture-it's not my best angle and me and water don't mix. Boy, was I mad at her afterwards...but now that I'm gonna be a celebri-pug, I'll forgive her.

Puggy Porn

2006-01-16T18:32:00.000-05:00

I cannot believe Mom snuck this photo on my blog...the humiliation!
Pug note: Nip her on the butt!

The siblings

2006-01-14T12:01:00.000-05:00

They've been ~~bitchin'~~ barkin' about it so I may as well officially introduce ya'll to my brother and sister. This photo is of me and my sister, Duncan...this was taken a couple of years ago 'cause now her eyes are blue and she bumps into things a lot. We have kind of a love/hate relationship, so sometimes we get into a fuss. Mom says it has somethin' to do with "alpha dog" but I know the real deal: "Pugs rule"...and that's all I'm tryin' to do.

My brother and me are pretty tight. He's an ~~obsessive~~ attentive type...my Mom's call him their "special child". What can I really say? He's a loveable bonehead and does everything I tell him to (read that as puggy-whipped). He's my pug slave.

Cousin JellyBean

2006-01-12T12:02:00.000-05:00

Since we just got back from Granma's, I figured it would be a good time to introduce you to my cous, JellyBean. Here's a picture of us just hangin' out on the couch and window watchin'. JellyBean is a ~~cow~~ chow...she's kind of big boned. She's one lucky dog, though 'cause she gets Granma treats all year long!

Dog-tired

2006-01-09T19:25:00.000-05:00

This is me and my bro on the trip home from Granma's.
Pug note: need to stop partying so much with Granma...ham hangovers are hell!

Road trip

2005-12-31T13:05:00.000-05:00

I'm all excited because we're all heading up to see Granma tomorrow for a few days! This means lots of laps to lay on, tons of food, football, and did I mention food?!
One of my Mom's went to the University of Georgia so we bark for the Bulldogs (or as it's spelled locally, Bulldawgs). She used to play in the Redcoat Band and got to hang out on the sidelines with my favorite celebrity, their mascot, UGA. He's from my hometown, Savannah. He looks pretty spiffy in that jersey of his...I'd even say he's almost as cool as me. Anyway, I'll be too busy eatin' and watchin' football the next few days to check in, but I'll see ya'll in '06! Happy New Year!

Go Dawgs!

The mother of all beds

2005-12-29T16:16:00.000-05:00

Of course, the best bed is the big one that's on stilts. Mental note: Since a hostile takeover won't work here (I am clearly outsized), I must master my mind control skills so that my goals of pug domination will one day be realized.

The Princess bed

2005-12-28T23:04:00.000-05:00

I steal this bed every chance I get...ok, so it's not a perfect fit, but I'm working on breaking it in. Anyway, it's my older sister's (you, know the old bat's). Grandma made it for her a few years back and one day I just decided it was time for a hostile takeover. I'm determined to dethrone her from her reign as the alpha Princess. Then my bonehead brother jumped on the bedwagon and now he gets in it too (he's such a queen). It's tough being a PIT (Princess In Training).

My favorite couch

2005-12-28T22:21:00.000-05:00

SpongeBob rocks.

Glad to meet 'cha!

2005-12-28T20:02:00.000-05:00

After a year or so of begging like a dog, my Mom finally threw in the towel and agreed to manage my blog for me (ever see a pug try to type? Not pretty...but awfully cute, I have to admit). She wasn't going to do it until after the first of the year, but I coaxed her with a treat (hiding the car keys also helped - not to mention that I'm exceptionally cute when I pout) and no, I'm not modest at all...in fact, I know that I'm damn cute! Stick around-more puggy cuteness to come....
