My Gotcha Day Gift

Hi y'all, it's me Lincoln. You know my girl Lily Jayne? Well she sent me some awesome prezzies for my third gotcha day with my mom. I mean this pug knows the way to my puggy heart...through my puggy stomach. 

At first Minnie had to check out my treats... 

So I begged mom to hurry up already...pictures later... 

It's a puggy tray to freeze puggy food!!! 

Seriously, mom can't you just make them already?! Lily Jayne is waiting... 

I picked the maple sweet potato

In the freezer they go! Can't wait to try them! Gotcha days are the best... Especially when your lady friend knows the way to your heart :) thanks!!

Harley

Since we've been gone so long, we felt it was only fair that we introduce....Harley.  The pug on the left...he's a little fellow and he's super duper shy.  Our grandma rescued him.  At first he wouldn't have anything to do with me.  He liked Lincoln, but that's just because Lincoln is "loveable" according to mom. It's whatever.  But don't worry, I didn't give up.  Now Harley tolerates me, which means he lets me sit next to him and shares his snacks with me.  Mostly he shares his snacks because I knock him out of the way but someone has to teach him how to be more aggressive, right?

Anyway, Harley is pretty cool sometimes.  However, he's a little momma's boy like Lincoln.  I guess only the girly pugs are independent.  Boys...sigh.

Gotcha Day

Happy Gotcha Day Lincoln! You are the best brother (as long as you stay away from my food!) 

Long Time No Bark

Hi Y'all,
Well, it appears we have been gone about a YEAR! This is highly unacceptable, I have plenty of things to say and obviously no outlet in which to say them.  Unfortunately, my paws are just not good at typing the right keys and therefore, I rely on my secretary who has been more concerned with her dissertation, internship, wedding and basic needs in life.  I have taken this problem to upper management and it should be fixed soon.  We have been keeping up with some of our bloggy fur-friends via Facebook but Lincoln has missed his love, Lily Jayne.  Therefore, we are BACK. Until my secretary fails me again....

What have I been up??? Oh you know, chasing things, causing mayhem and disorder, and exercising.

Embarrassing

Gawd Mom....

This picture is so embarrassing. 

How am I supposed to pretend Lincoln is annoying when he is such a good snuggler?! 

Muah,

Prezzies from the girlfriend

My girlfriend, Lily Jayne, sent me some awesome prezzies for my Gotcha Day.  

I was pretty excited and tried opening the package myself.  

Paws make opening things difficult though....

 Come on Mom, open the dang package

Hi Lily, I really love the outside of my package, wish Mom would just open it....

Of course as soon as Mom opened it, Minnie was right there, all up in my business.

Minnie just had to see what was inside. She doesn't like to be left out.... 

And then my face got stuck in the package. I'm really glad Mom only took one picture  of that....embarrassing 

I grabbed the first thing I saw, a heart shaped sock monkey toy

I took off, with Minnie right on my puggy tail

This started a small fight

It's okay though, I'm bigger and I won.

I LOVE stuffie toys.

I got lots of other awesome stuff too, like food

Looks like I will be sharing with Minnie

The last gift was the most special though.

Lily sent name tags for Minnie and me!

Name tags mean a lot to a rescue dog.  I didn't have a name when Mom first met me and now I have a name.  Most importantly, I have a name tag so I will never get lost again.  Now everyone knows my name.  

Awesome view of my new tags....

Minnie's tags

Thank you SOOOOO much Lily Jayne.

You really know what a boy pug loves, food, stuffies and something with his name on it. 

So Minnie says that is too much mushy gushy stuff. She just wants a treat and her blog back. 

We still have lots to catch up on.

Wait, what?!

Wait, what? You mean you are going on a trip without US?! How could you? We are practically packed, let me grab us a small snack for the road....And hey we are already sitting so well in our car seat....

Wordless Wednesday

Lincoln's Second Gotcha Day

Hi Y'all,

We've been missing for quite some time....but it didn't mean we weren't still thinking about all of you! A couple of our bloggy friends have found us on Facebook, so that's been awesome. If you have Facebook, let us know so we can connect!

Anyway, lots and lots has happened...Mom got engaged!? WHAT?!  So that's been a huge time waster after I found out that I'm totally not a part of the wedding.  Something about how I get all crazy around people sometimes.  Whatever.

And Lincoln's second Gotcha day happened last week.  Mom and I are both really super THANKFUL for Linky.  Yes, I may attack him unprovoked and have to sit in time-out sometimes. Yes, he takes up room on Mom's lap....blah blah. But he makes a really awesome napping buddy.  He also plays bitey face and lets me be the boss.

So anyway, that's us waiting on Mom to give us cheeseburgers for Lincoln's special day. How mean was that, making us wait while she took a picture? Come on Mom...first the wedding nonsense and now waiting on the burger?  Sigh, good thing I put up with her.

Anyway, we have lots to share and catch up with everyone!

Loves,

Minnie Moo

Riding

Hehe, don't let them catch us riding "dirty" Lincoln!

Good thing Spa night is coming up....

Muah,

A day of pugs

Lincoln and I had the opportunity to meet up with Chole and her foster brothers over the weekend. Chole is the adorable pug we met awhile back. Her mama fosters pugs for the Kentuckiana Pug Rescue which is where Lincoln is from (i.e. we were foster failures). 

(Prepare to be overwhelmed with pug pictures taken by Chole's mama. We just had too much fun not to share)

Here is Sunny, Ozzie and me attacking mom all at the same time. 

Sunny and Ozzie are foster brothers.

This diva pug is Chole. She's tiny like me.

Here is mom handing out free pug butt scratches to Ozzie. 

I tried to not be jealous.

Chole's human sister Tessa is loving on Sunny. 

He's such a good boy.

With all the snorting going on, a water break was a must.

Here I am, looking for someone to adore me...

Chole's mom says she looks like a fruit bat here...hehe

Pugs look like fruit bats! <3

Don't worry, we weren't snooty, we made friends with everyone.

Or at least Chole and I checked them out...

Hey, you're not a pug....

Ozzie (fawn pug) and Sunny (black pug), foster brothers looking for a forever home.

There was so much sniffing and snorting...

Lincoln had to be put on a leash at the end.

He wanted to run with the big dogs

and he kept forgetting to come when his name was called...

Silly Lincoln

Unsurprisingly, I decided since I was the smallest, I had to be top dog. 

I choose the oldest pug.

Best to start out conquering someone you know is going to let you win.

Mom continued to hand out belly rubs to Ozzie. 

We all watched in jealousy.

Tessa, Chole's human sister, holding me. 

See, I can play nice when I want to be held.

Another successful puggy play date.

Muah,

Derby Day

Hello All, 

Since we live in Kentucky, we love to celebrate the Derby. 

For most this involves a fancy hat.

Lincoln and I are not really into hats but don't worry we still dressed up.

I went for the crown because it fits.

Lincoln decided a more serious dapper approach with the glasses.

We just LOVE horses. 

And speaking of horses, we are getting to go to camp with some horses here in a couple of weeks.

Mom is going to Key West and has decided the trip will be too much for two pugs.

So she arranged for "camp."

We get to stay at a farm with cats, dogs, horses and lots of room to run.

We visited this weekend after the Derby. 

Mom's a little afraid Mr. Lincoln is going to feel abandoned again. 

Personally, I think Lincoln will be too distracted by the horses to even worry about Mom.

Muah,

Minnie Moo
