Valentine's Flower Pictures

Mom has been playing around with black and white, sepia, and cyan photos. She practiced on her flowers. Dad was out of town for business this week but didn't forget Mom...here are her Valentine's Day flowers. We love the heart and key...looks delicious...why won't Mom let us play with it?

(Porky)

"I will fight you to the end for my toys!" (Brownie)

As we all know, Pork LOVES food and treaties...and napping. Brownie is not much of a foodie but a toy-ee. He LOVES toys. Obsessed is more like it...sleeps with mouth over toy (Pork does this to his chew bones), drags the toys all around the house (yes, drags that 4 feet snake up and down the stairs), and falls asleep on them (I think this is to prevent Porky from stealing his toys). Well, sibling rivalry and the fight to be alpha dog is causing the boys to fight for toys now. Pork just wants to take it away from Brown...he doesn't even like toys that much...here it goes...

Late Night Black & White Show with Porky Pug & Brownie Pug

"Why are you trying to take my toy? I already give you my food and treaties...arf" (Brownie)

"Fine! Be that way! I will fight you to the end! How rude!" (Brownie)

"Wow...the kids getting stronger everyday...I gotta show him who's the boss! Come on kid, bring it on!" (Porky)

"I can crush you with one paw! Woof Woof!" (Porky)

"You think you can push me around just because you are older? I am not going to get pushed around by you for the rest of my life...and besides, I am acrobatic, fast, agile, and I can kick your fat butt!" (Brownie)

"This kid is dragging me all around our bedroom and I am practically napping here. Is he for real or just clueless? What's with the military warfare and downward dog? You can drag me around all you want but you can't take Ms. Lamb here...woof woof...eerrr. Go play with the Monkey." (Porky)

"I'm getting tired of being dragged around...nap time. Here kid...take Ms. Lamb. I never cared for her anyways." (Porky)

(20 minutes later...)

"Hah! You can't bully me. Don't you dare come back and try to get your hands on my toys. I am ready for you..." (Brownie)

(Silently goes back to chewing Ms. Plush Lamb)

"Brownie still has a lot to learn. I just wanted to show him I can kick his butt in my sleep or in this case, laying on the ground. Aside from Dad, nobody tells me what to do...well not nobody, if you have treaties, anything is possible. I can sit, heel, catch, bow, lay down, look cute, model, perform guard duties, clean up trash, ...I'm your Pug...as long as I get my treaties." (Porky)

(THE END / FIN)

There is no such thing as "Eat your own food and treats" when you are a Pug!

Pork LOVES food, with a passion. Without supervision and diet restrictions, he will eat and eat until he pukes and eat his own puke...that is how crazy he is (we try very hard to limit his processed treaties and stick with fresh fruits and soy yogurt). Every day during meal and snack time, this is what happens...needless to say Porky wants all the food and treaties to himself!

...uummm...this could be why Brownie scarfs down his food in like 1 minute while Pork takes 15 minutes finish!

Bath time bliss...take two!

I was inspired to take bathtime pictures after I saw Flatnosedpups's super adorable trio. We don't have trio but certainly dynamic duo! Hehehe

It's so warm and comfy in here...smells good...Mom usually takes bath without us and we always want to join...but how come it's just us and Mom & Dad are outside?
I don't like not having control...why can't I stant right? Keep slipping and losing my grip...
Why is Dad outside with that thing that keeps flashing? I am trying to enjoy my bath!
How come Mom keeps washing Pork and giving him belly rubs! Where's mine Mom?!
Am I suppose to stare at you and stand? Or should I sit? Ummm...

Join us at Houston Pug Rescue, PugHearts', PugNic 2007

I wanted to let you guys know we are super excited to get involved with Houston's very own Pug rescue, PugHearts. Helping Puggies always reminds me of how fortunate my life has been, after I was touched and owned by Pugs. I mean what would life be like without Pugs? No more poo to clean, chewed up cabinet corners, echoing snores and snorts, pee on my furniture, dog hair everywhere,...it's been an enduring ride and I would not have it any other way! So let's get out there and get involved!

I always like to think of it this way, what if something unfortunate happened to me and I could no longer care for my Puggies? The thought of that brings tears to my eyes as these little guys just want to give lots of love and please us. Let's face it, Pugs are not famous for street smarts and any kind of survival. With no one helping homeless and abandoned Puggies (and may I say shame on those people that did not do their homework first before taking on the responsibility of a pet and then later "changed" their minds), they would be put to sleep. =(::::

Well, now there are no excuses! The great people at Pug Hearts have worked very hard to bring to us our very own Houston Pug Rescue. So let's get there to the PugNic on March 4th to the Challenger 7 Memorial Park, Webster, Houston! Looking forward to meeting everyone. Porky and Brownie will be dressing their best for this Pug Nic!

February Pug Meetup Pictures now uploaded!

This month's pug meetup was so much fun...lots of puggies showed up dressed up in their best and looking fabulous! Now we included some teasers below but spend some time looking at all the uploaded pictures on FLICKR. Since there were 100+ pictures taken, most of the non-pug pictures were not included since let's face it, this is for pug lovers! Hehehe...all dogs are cute but pugs are the best!

This puggy preferred to hang out with her human and not get dirty...she kept posing for us! So cute!
This is Hank (the tank) Pug. We just met Hank and he is like Pork's long lost brother...have same physical attribute (body and tail), and same temperment and personality (extremely outgoing, likes to play rough, and a always a bad ass!). Hank LOVES to swim! He took quite a few dips...unfortunately some crazy dog park staff decided to dye the pond water red...for Valentines Days?!
Close up of Hank...he is very handsome...but sorry Hank, Porky is the George Clooney of Pugs. You can be the Robert DeNiro of Pugs since you are older. :)
Senior Puggies chilling out and having some mature fun...I love hanging out with Senior Pugs man...I am everyone's best friend as I am mature for my age.
What kind of dog are you? i never seen you here before...Don't I look so fabulous close up?!The fashionable pugs hanging together...so stuck up!Stop touching me! I don't know you. I want my Mommy...where are you Momma?Momma is calling me with treaties...I am coming Mom!I am getting a ittle tired from doing my rounds of socializing with all the different pugs...preppy stuck up group, shy group, senior pugs, pup puppies, and all the crazy humans...where to next? Did I miss anyone? hmmm...I wonder if anyone brought treats...Dude...Mom wants me to hang out with Brownie for picturesbut he's boring. He is too much of an intravert for me. I need my own freedom Mom!Momma wants me to socialize but I just want to go home and play with my toys...Can't wait to go home and play wit my toys!

We love our new Seabury sofa from Pottery Barn...PB should ask us to model for them!

So comfy...we hang out here all day! We snack, nap, and play on the sofa...the feather down is soooooo soft.
We hang out whereever we want which these days is on our new sofa...we like to drag all our toys everywhere in the house and then get food on the sofa...so nice not to have to be primitive and lay on the floor!
We are having a serious meeting right now to discuss a plot to get more treaties...

Brownie looks cute in everything!

I know every pug momma probably feels that their little puggy is the cutest big eye treat and toy beggar...but I really think Brownie is the cutest one of all! His eyes are so big they sometimes look like they want to pop out when he is not feeling well. He's like a pug cabbage patch kid baby. My sweet Browner...Porky is cute, too, but definitely the big macho dog and leader of our house. Going to the pug meetup and going on pug playdates have become a favorite activity in our house. Here is the boys getting some water after they ran around the dog park at last month's pug meetup. Fellow Houston Pug meetup puggers, sorry it took so long to get the pictures...we all got lazy around the holidays and pug'd out!

Porky and Brownie's big snuggly snake filled holiday!

Porky, aka Pug Security Guard, pulling a holiday shift and keeping an eye out on new neighbors who just moved in across the street.

Brownie enjoying his toys as usual in our home office while Momma is working at the desk. Did I mention Brownie will not lay on the floor and insist on either sofa or pillows or best of course, tons of pillows on feather down sofa.

Snakes, snakes, and more snuggly snakes! I love toys!

I don't care about toys except to taking them away from Brownie. Do what you will to me, I am SOOO sleepy...more treats?

Sweet Senior Pug from December Pug Meetup

We have so many cute pictures from the December Pug Meetup we are going to upload and share via Flickr. This senior pug was so cute and precious, I just had to upload a bigger picture. There is something profoundly addictive and captivating about the pug...I think fellow humans owned by pugs can agree...we are all obsessed with these little guys! Watching Porky and Brownie sleep, especially when they are by my foot when I am working, and seeing pictures like this of a beautiful senior pug, reminds me of how I came to love pugs and how they have changed my life. For those of you reading this, please give your little puggy a BIG pug hug and kiss!

Snugly toys, big long 4' snake, lots of pug beauty rest!

Porky getting some zzz's from playing tug-o-war with Brown with their new toy that has a whole bunch of tug rings...neat toy.
You can see the 4' snake I talked about on my post on Nov 28. It wraps all the way around the large dog bed we have...so big and long...it's really more like a gigantic serpant...
Brownie snoozing on his favorite pillow...a little sheep. We get him lots of cudly sheeps...they are nice toys and pillows. Definitely getting some beauty sleep here and dreaming about more toys and fruits! Watcha looking at? Don't stare. I need my pug beauty rest and then I am going to take all the toys away from Brownie when I feel like waking up.

New blog design...finally a change

Since Blogger is no longer beta and we really wanted to try the new blogger features, we switched over. We decided if we have to start from scratch again, we chose a color that would make the pictures look better (I think at least). Ummm...I will need to learn more about further customizations and design later...may need some tips from Flat Nose Pups!

We've been Christmas tagged by Winston!

We have been busy with the holidays and preparing for visits from out of towners. Since we just moved into our new home a few months ago from a much smaller house, we have no furniture to fill our house. It's been fun weekends attacking the furniture stores and staring at blank walls for inspiration on decor. It's not easy shopping for furniture when you have two crazy pugs running around like...pugs (aka wild animals). *~~* Since we have been behind on the holiday shopping, we got some toys for the boys to hold them over until the new bed. You can also see here that our living room has no furniture, with one rug. But the boys love it because they can run around like crazy and attack each other.

Since we got tagged, we have been giving some thought so here we go...

3 Things I want:

PORKY
1) my own cook
2) hard white bone chew with filled treats (unlimited)
3) live with Grandma since she gives me all kinds of treats everyday...did I mention I gained near 10 lbs living with her for 6 months?!
4) to be the only dog...I hate sharing food and treats with Brownie
5) freedom to dig in all trash cans in the house
6) someone cleaning my toilet non-stop (I like a clean toilet when I go)
...wait a minute...I went beyond 3...there are too many things I want... *sigh*

BROWNIE
1) more long snake toys
2) to be able to go with Mom to work again...Mom calls me a cling-on
3) to go potty whereever I want in the house and not feel guilty or ashamed
I don't want much...just to be with Mommy all the time!

3 Things I do not want:

PORKY
1) share treats with anyone
2) disrupting my beauty sleep
3) dog food

BROWNIE
1) share toys/treats/bed with Pork
2) more girl clothes ...note to Mom, I am a boy!
3) pork stealing my treats

we are tagging:Life of a Pug (Milo), Flat Nosed Pups (Kritter, Gizmo, Rascal, Peekaboo), Sadie the Pug Pooch, Willow & Belle, Elvis & Izzy at ChiWowWow

You must each give three things you want for Christmas, three things you don't and tag five friends.

Hope everyone gets what they want for Christmas!

Have a Puglicious Holiday and stay safe!

How time flies when you are owned by pugs!

It's been another great year of new adventures with my two crazy pugs. I can't believe how time flies and Porky now has a very well establish grey/white mustache. He is such a handsome puggy...ages very well just like George Clooney! :)

This picture was taken last Christmas. The grandparents gave Porky and Brownie each a gingerbread bear toy, blue for Porky and brown for Brownie. Porky misses his Grandma, who he had the great pleasure of staying with for 6 months and returned home with an additional 8lbs (yikes!)...unfortunately, Brownie was not welcomed there as he is challenged in potty training and too hyper for the Grandparents. Our lives have been crazy, fun, busy, frustrating at times, stressful, sad, happy, and...our puggies, Pork & Brown, have brought us joy and laughter...and then some!

I am excited to surprise them with their new bed for Christmas. :)
