Working on the boat

Hi all! I have been working hard these past few weeks, along with Daddy. He leads people on diving trips (you humans are CRAZY to want to spend any time underwater . . . I mean you get wet doing that. Yuck!). They hop on board a speedy boat to somewhere in the open ocean, and plop! plop! plop! these people jump off a perfectly fine boat and into the water . . . weird!

I am supervising, of course. You can't get me in the water because I am SANE!

I am patrolling the boat, making sure all the workers are pulling their weight . . .

Sniffing

Guess what I am doing behind the mini-shrub?

Actually, nothing much . . . just sniffing. Daddy gets exasperated because I stop and sniff things every few steps during our walks.

Mother's Day

I know Mothers are VERY important, so I hope every Mom out there had a day of proper pampering yesterday. Mommy spent the whole day with us (Daddy had to work), which she says was a treat in itself . . . except she rolled up eyes when she used the word "treat". I am thinking she didn't think it was that much fun, but I don't understand why:

Look at this face (yes I was trying to sneak a drink from my sister's water cup)

My sis and I chipped in to get Mom the balloon. Nice gesture, I think.

Guests

My parents have learned that living in Florida automatically means lots of guests. I don't mind because that means more petting and more treats for me! Unfortunately, some of our guests aren't the human kind:

This little creature peeked out at us from under a shrub. I tried to be friendly and say 'hi' but this guy is very shy.

My parents have taught me to be polite and courteous to our guests. I have taken that lesson to heart . . . here I am snuggling with Mommy's best friend. I am keeping a watchful eye and making sure his slumber doesn't get interrupted.

I Have A Chauffeur!

For all you puggies out there -- be very, very jealous! I have trained my little sis to chauffeur me around when I am tired of walking:

Ahhhhh, living the good life!

The trick is to start teaching them when they are young. My sister began pushing me as soon as she learned to walk!

Lake Park Art Fair

Hi guys -- I am back! My parents tried to stymie my creative nature by taking away the computer (something about me making my little sister cry), but I have done my penance and now I am back in the game!!

I have been one busy puggy while I was gone. First, my family and I went to the Lake Park Art Fair last weekend (it seems like every little town here has an art fair). Burt Reynolds was the judge . . . I don't know who this Burt Reynolds is, but Daddy was impressed. The fair itself was small but fun as I got to meet some of my neighbors and their humans.

Daddy and me at the art fair. I was a hit with the local police; apparently, they are big fans of Men in Black II as they kept on calling me "Frank"

It's a good thing I made friendly with the police. Otherwise, my little sis might have been arrested for walking on a road sign!

What? Snow?

It has happened again . . . my family and I took a roadtrip to visit the grandparents in New Jersey, and guess what we got hit with: 16 inches of snow!!!! My parents have really pathetic timing -- we left 70 degree sunny weather in Florida for this?!?!

Here I am surveying the white scenery with despair

Frances, the intrepid pug, is attempting to climb her way back to civilization

Aha! I see the porch lights in the distance . . .

Eat my dust, you snowpile . . .
