Portrait of a Watch Pug

A Pug Birthday!

Today Barney is ONE year old.  That makes him a teenager in human years - 14 or 15.  Yup!  He's a teenager alright!  As in . . . impossible to live with.

He sure was a cutie as a puppy, though. 

Too bad pugs can't eat cake.

Barney:  What?!!! Who says??  It's my birthday isn't it!

Time to Play

 

 

A little exercise after dinner is good for you!

Not sure what this "discussion" was all about, but it was sure noisy! We even got Jake to run around for awhile. Exercise? Oh no!

So, today I tried a new background from The Background Fairy (click the logo upper left). That IS why we started this blog after all!

Bath Day

A curious ritual takes place . . .

First Barney . . .

Eeek!  Drip dry!

And then Jake . . .

Are you sure this is safe???

We prefer to dry this way

Check out that pile of towels!

The Bestest Toys!

As a connoisseur of puppy toys, I want to point out to you what I think are the bestest on the market.  No, not the Nylabone.  That's just so I can steal from Jake.  I mean the plastic thread spools!

When Mom finishes using the thread, she gives me the spool! 

I know she wants me to play with her, so I have invented a fun game.

After drooling all over her knees, I roll the spool around until it goes under a piece of furniture.  Then I scratch and whine until she moves the furniture so I can retrieve the spool.  Doesn't that sound like a good game?

I know the game is over when she gets grumpy!
