Ringing in the New Year

Sorry we've been gone so long.

We've been vacationing in Florida

And ringing in the New Year

With lots of naps!

Happy New Year to all our friends!

Muah,

Minnie Moo and Lincoln too

Thursday Videos

Because it's Thursday
And I'm super tired of having my own picture taken
All the time
And I might or might not have attacked Lincoln
At the throat where he has a mysterious bite mark
(Lincoln is such a baby)
So I'm in trouble.
And I have a little "pug acne" going on....
I've decided to show two of my favorite videos of pugs ever!

The first one is a "Pug Christmas Shoot Gone Bad"

Personally I think these pugs, one of whom shares my name, are pretty dang good.
I promise this Minnie pug dog is not me. She has more curves than I do.

The second reminds me of Lincoln.
It is a "Pug Soccer Team"
Lincoln was totally carrying around that giant tennis ball yesterday in his mouth.
He's like super duper amazing when it comes to strength.
Mom said he should try out for a pug version of Air Bud.

Maybe tomorrow I will feel like having my picture taken. Maybe not.

Christmas card box

If you got a Christmas card from us, it looked like this....

We look super well behaved and angelic.
Don't believe for a second Lincoln and I posed without a fight.
Take here for instance.
Lincoln refused to SIT in the box. Why?
Lincoln just likes to always be "ready" to run.

Or here, when Lincoln and I were obviously conspiring to get out of the box.
Yo, Linky, you jump first!

Notice, I'm sitting the entire time. I'm the model dog. It's obvious.
Lincoln was thinking about the many treats he deserved for getting in the box.

Hopefully, none of you had to sit in a box waiting on your brother to behave.
I deserved extra cookies for this photo shoot!

Muah,

Pug Hair = Fashion Accessory

I overheard Mama telling someone that pug hair is her new fashion accessory.
That she wears it on everything.
Wow, that means I'm always in fashion.
But I kind of already knew that.

Fascinate a Pug

This picture sums up my weekend.
I watched Grandma decorate the tree.
Some things just fascinate a pug.
Other than that I had no real interest in the tree.
Which surprised my mama.
Especially since I didn't try to eat the tree.
Guess for once something didn't look tasty.
Lincoln didn't even lift his leg.
He MARKS everything.
He likes people to know he has stuff now that he's not homeless.

Cookies

Here I am chewing on my Mom's finger.
As evidenced by my past posts, I will eat pretty much everything.
Batteries, ant traps, textbooks, concrete, ect.
But you want to know something I really love?!
COOKIES.
Mom says the only two words I know are Minnie and cookies.
Sometimes I pretend to not know Minnie.
When I do this, Mom will yell "cookies" and then I will come running.
I could totally accept my name as "cookies."
But then I would think I was getting a treat all the time.

Yummm Cookies!

Muah,

Minnie Moo

Pink

Hi, I'm Lincoln and I LOVE this pink ball.
I am so obsessed with it, sometimes Mom has to hide it from me.
I carry it everywhere and want it by me at all times.
I've even tried to sleep with it.

Minnie can't really pick it up because she's too small
But just because I LOVE it so much, she tries to steal it.
And because she can't steal it, she beats me up.
This causes Mom to stomp her feet and hide the pink ball.

By the way I believe that pink can be a very manly color.
I don't care what Minnie says, real pug boys love pink.
I'm evolved.

Sincerely,
Lincoln

All wrapped up

So I wasn't all that great over Thanksgiving but I plan on being really good from now till Christmas. Gotta please the Santa Claws ya know.

I've been working on my Christmas list too.
I think the best present I can give is ME.
And besides I look extra super cute in this bow.

Lincoln and I are preparing our Christmas cards,
so everybody send us your address at
katespadejr@gmail.com

And remember the best presents come from the heart.
So feel free to stick a bow on yourself.

Muah,

Minnie Moo

Thanksgiving

Mama was out of town for Thanksgiving, so Minnie and I spent the week with Grandma.
Which is always pretty awesome because Uncle Travis lives there and he feeds us whatever we want. Oh and we get to go on walks, lots and lots of walks.
The reason I get to blog today is because I got a good report from Grandma.
Lincoln = Angel.
Minnie was banished to the basement bedroom during the Thanksgiving meal.
Mostly because she wouldn't shut up.
She had something to say about everything.
So here I am getting my Thanksgiving treat (of course Minnie got one too, but in the basement with Uncle Travis).
There is no food on the plate because I ate it so fast.
I got sweet potatoes, turkey and green beans.
THE BEST HOLIDAY EVER.

And here I am with Aunt Carol. She has cancer.
Grandma thinks I know that and that is why I always sit with her.
I am very much the "comforter" of the family.

I always cuddle with whoever is sick or sad.
Do any of you always seek out the sick person to comfort?

So overall it was a great holiday for me. I had a vacation at Grandma's house.
I went on lots of walks.
Ate leftovers and got to see my Aunt Carol.
Hope everyone else had a great holiday too.

Butt Pillow

Sometimes I like to use Minnie's butt for a pillow.
She has a little extra cushion back there.

Sincerely,

Lincoln

A Monday kind of Tuesday

Technically, it is Tuesday but Mama says it is still feels like a Monday.
Maybe because Lincoln puked all over the bed yesterday.
Or maybe because this morning she found pee in the bed and I'm getting blamed.
I love that bed.

I would never....

Except maybe I was a little mad that I got locked up.
And that there were strangers in my house that Mama wouldn't let me bark at.
Well I tried to bark and that's when she shut me up in her room.
And then the mysterious yellow stain appeared on the bed.
Lincoln ain't talking either...

Happy Tuesday that feels like a Monday!

Muah,

Minnie Moo

A pound

I had to go to the vet this past week.
I've gained a pound.
Mama is calling me a "chubby bunny."
I'm a whooping 13 pounds now.
Excuse me, but that still puts me on the small scale of being a pug.
And seriously...
it's not my fault that Lincoln has the metabolism of a greyhound.

Trick or Treat

Last year I didn't do so hot with the trick and treat part of Halloween.
In my defense, dressed up kids are scary.
However, after this past weekend,
when Mom had guests that I did not STOP barking at for three days...
and she threatened to send me away....
I tried to turn on a little bit of charm.
Lincoln of course turned the charm up to full max.
He greeted each child at the door with a pug tail wag and a kiss.

Here he is getting all the attention.

Here I am with Mom.
I had to sit on the steps.
I only barked at one kid.
He was dressed a creepy serial killer though.
He totally deserved the barking.

And it's ridiculous I can't bark
when the doorbell is ringing
And there is lots of tiny strangers in my house.
I think my face expression says it all.
Nuff said on this topic!

Happy Halloween

Our weekend was so busy I barely got a pug nap.
Busy or not, mom still had time to humiliate us in Halloween costumes.

Lincoln looks like a stuffed animal.
He didn't mind his costume too much.

I struggled a little bit with my costume.
I couldn't see with that monkey hood on my head
So I kept looking down which only made mom giggle.

I don't know why I couldn't be an awesome animal
like a ferocious lion.
Mom thinks a monkey is much more fitting.

Happy Halloween everyone!

My Cheesy Birthday

So the best part of my birthday was my very first cheeseburger.
I could smell it a mile away....

I tried to wait patiently but Mom was taking forever

Don't worry, Lincoln got one too.
Mom was too busy around his gotcha day so it was a double celebration.

It seriously took Mom forever to unwrap it.
I would totally have eaten the wrapper.

Look at how yummy that looks!

Get in my belly!
That burger is almost as big as me!

It was gone in a jiffy.

I burped for fifteen minutes afterward.
So good.

I wish everyday was my birthday.
So does Lincoln.

Almost Wordless Wednesday

Who is that?!

Oh, it's just Lincoln hiding :)

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to me.
I'm 2.
I'm sitting up on top of this counter
because I attacked Lincoln
when he tried to play with my new cupcake toy.
I shouldn't have to share on my birthday.

Monday Morning

This little puggy wants someone to pick her up and put her back in the bed.

Wordless Wednesday

Guard Dog

I'm an excellent guard dog.
I can sit outside without a leash
And just watch the world go by.
Sometimes I really want to go greet people
on the sidewalk.
But I try hard.
Harder than Minnie ever would.
Minnie gets distracted by the falling leaves.
Not me.

Sincerely,

Lincoln

Fun

Pugs just wanna have fun

Oh pugs, just wanna have fun

That's all they really want.
Some fun.

When the working day is done
Pugs - they want to have fun
Oh pugs just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun....

Progress

Yep, someone is compromising on peeing in the backyard.
He will go twice in the backyard a day. The other two times, he still waits for his walk.
But hey, progress is progress.

And yes, just ignore how I insist on standing right under Lincoln when he pees.

Close

They say to keep your friends close...

But I like to keep my toys closer...

Just in case Lincoln gets any crazy ideas while I'm getting a little shut eye.

Jail Dogs

Ya know the phrase "jailbird?!" Well, we kind of became "jail-dogs" this weekend.
Mom was out of town, so we went to Grandma's house.
I may or may not have pooped right in front of her on her nice carpet.
After she took me on a 45 minute walk.
I reserve the right to remain silent and only talk to my attorney.

Why does Lincoln have to wear one of these?
Guilt by association.

Mom got home last night, think she's gonna bust us out of jail?!

Beginning and End

Sometimes it is hard to tell where one ends and the other begins.

My own snorts

Aren't we all?

Sometimes my farts even surprise me.

Just saying.

Muah,

Minnie Moo

Braces

Mom thinks I could benefit from some braces.
I am so NOT getting braces.
This pug mug is adorable, she needs to recognize.

The Perfect Fall Weekend

Linky and I had the perfect fall weekend.
We went out for lots of walks in the warm weather.
We met up with Chloe again for "Picnic with the Pups" event that benefits animal welfare.
We napped while everyone else watched football...
And they we got to pose next to these pumpkins for a really yummy treat.

Is that the perfect weekend or what?!
