Wordless Wednesday (almost)

Daisy here!

I'm doing muchs better! No more Big-D, but I'm not letting Mommy off the hook so easily so I haven't pooped since Monday. She keeps asking me and I keeps saying, "Nopes. Don't needs to go." Mommy thinks I will go soon and if not, I'm seeing my regular vet on Friday for my annual.





Happy (poop free!) Wednesday!

Keeping Mommy on her toes

Daisy here!

So I's been thinking that Mommy has been having a bit too much fun and relaxation this summers and thought it was time to shake things up.

This is me yesterday morning before the trouble started:


It's hard to tell by just looking at me but my belly was getting ready to go all "Excorsism-y" (like the pea soup only from the other end). The Big-D (diarrhea) started just after lunch when I asked to go out and then stayed in the mudroom where I left Mommy an unexpected present. It wasn't much but it was enough to scare Mommy. Even when I was a puppy and had wormies, the Big-D didn't just leave me unannounced. The unexpected pooping happened a few more times, in the living room and kitchen. I felt like a cow!

Things got worse. Mommy tried to give me the tiniest piece of bean later because she and Daddy had to go out and I had to go in my crate and I ALWAYS get bean. I sniffed it but didn't want it. This has NEVER happened, evers. This worried Mommy more, but not quite enoughs so I then put on my saddest, sickest face and could hardly move around the house. But even that wasn't enough, so I had some poops with what might have been bloods.

That did it.

Mommy brought me to the emergencies vets at 9:00 last night. Everybody said I was really cute and the doctor gave me some medicine. Mommy felt felt better because she learned I didn't have a fever which she was worried about.

Today, I'm feelings much better. I had some Big-D this morning but it wasn't like yesterday at all so Mommy and the vet think I'm on the mend. I hope so, too, because I'm getting hungry! (I don't like rice for breakfast - the chicken was good though...)

Air Show, Scare Show

Daisy here!

Yesterdays, we heard a huge booming noise outside. Mommy said, "They're here" and I ran outside barking my little brains out, looking for whoever Mommy was talking about. Turns out "they" were big boomer jets in the sky called "Blue Angels" (Daddy says 'blue angels' are farts you light with a match but these were not the same). They have been practicing for the air show this weekend right over our house.



This one came so close, Mommy could read the writing on the wings!


Me and my sister stayed busy, toodling around the yard while Mommy frantically tried to snap piccies of the jets.




But, boy those Blue Angels practice for a long time! We got hots and tireds and had to rest.




Turns out, we're weren't the only ones in the garden. We found this guy on the watering can. He probably had a really good view of the Blue Angels from where he was sitting.


Looks like we have plenty more boomer jets to look forward to as the air show lasts all weekend. Although Mommy loves the planes, we are going to stay inside where it's quieter.

Leaking Pug

Pearl here!

It's too hot to sit outside today so I'm lying in my bed. Even though it's nice and soft, I like to put my head on the carpet so I can feel any vibrations near my food bowl.



I hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Power Peepers

Daisy here!

Daddy sometimes has a banana before bed and I'm always rights there to gets my share! Sometimes, though, it seems that Daddy doesn't see me so I have to use my super duper Peeper Power to hypnotize him.



Sometimes even the power of the peepers doesn't work so wells and I has to move closer so that my whiskers tickle his knee.


But in the ends, Daddy always shares.

Here's the dead banana - the yummy bits are in my belly! (And Daddy's and Pearl's)

A winner and our trip!

Daisy here!



We're sorry it's taken our secretary so long to post the winner of our Almost Summer Giveaway but we's were away in Mun-tree-hall. We used a random number thing-a-ma-gingy to choose our winner and so without further ah-doodoos, the winner is...Wilma!



Wilma said, though, that if she won she would donate the vest to our friends Southern Fried Pugs for their new rescue. So congratulations Wilma and Southern Fried Pugs!!!! If Southern Fried Pugs email us a pearlanddaisy at gmail dot com with your address, we will send the vest out to you.



And now about our trippies.



We had so much funs visiting our family and friends! I played a lot with Gigi, Mommy's grandniece (boy, that makes Mommy sound old, eh?)



Wonders why I look so sad in this photo? That's because there are all these feets around me and I"m not licking any of them!





Here's me and my sister in the backyard with Gigi while she hops like a bunny.





And finally, here's Pearly with one of her favorite peeps - Uncle Rick. Pearl loves Uncle Rick because he gives her meat! And lots of it! Things like ham! And burgers! Yum! Years ago, Uncle Rick also used to not let Pearl on the couch at their house so Pearl humped his leg and now he lets her go up whenever she wants. And he rubs her and tells her how cute she is.





Now, we're going to rest up before our next trip next week to Torontoes!

Almost Summer Giveaway!

Pearl here!

So seeing as it's finally warmed up in our part of the world, we've been thinking about summer. Mommy has also been busy doing some tidying up and she found this life vest for doggies in the closet the other day:



She can't remember, but she's pretty sure we won it somewhere! I can't remember either, but we've never used it because we don't spend much time by the water. We thought some other puggie (or doggie) might be able to use it as it is brand new, never been worn except by me to model it.

It is a size medium and fits me perfectly! (I weigh about 18lbs). Notice the cute little handles on top? That means your mommy or daddy can carry you while wearing it. How cool is that?

To enter the giveaway, please leave a comment saying what you're looking forward to most about summer! We will keep the contest open until Sunday June 5 (JUNE?! Can you believe it?!)

Have a good weekend!

Oh, and here's one other shot of me in the vest.

Bad pugs and our first video!

Daisy here!

Mommy boughts some new flowers and planted them. But we keeps getting into trouble because we like to eat the grass and the flowers! And then we like to stomp on the flowers after we've finished eating. Mommy says she'll be lucky if she has any flowers left soon.

Mommy bought a new camera - it can take videos! So guess what Mommy has been videotaping? That's rights! Us! Being bad!

Not so perfects after all

Daisy heres.

So recently Mommy noticed something funny going on with my ear. It looked like the color of my fur was changing. It started off in a small spot and last week, it was down one edge of my ear. You can maybe sees it in this photos:



Mommy gots so worrieds that before bed on Thursday she googled it and saw that it might be mites, also called mange or scabies. These were not good words to Mommy. So the next day we went to see Dr. G. The good news is, I don't haves mites. The bad news is I'm not as perfect as we thoughts I was.

Dr. G. said that the strange coloring on my ear and the way my fur was coming out there was because of a deformity. Oh, my gosh. I can't believe that I's deformed! Well, my furs anyway. See how sad I am lying on Daddy's lap?



Here's close up of my sadness just so you can gets the full effects of my misery:


It's been very hard for me accepts this new realities. But I will tries. Canine Carry Outs - my favorite treat - sure do help. And this week, Mommy is taking us to class for "educational" purposes. I am sure I will get lots of loving from Mommy's students. We just won't tell them I'm not so perfect.

Pug Thoughts Monday

Pearl here!

Daddy came home early today because he's sickies. Daddy is, like, NEVER sickies so nobody is happy about this. He thinks it was something he ate but we doubt that because food is yummy and good unless it isn't. Then it can make you sick. So Daddy probably is right after all.

In honor of Daddy, our Pug Thoughts Monday picture today features me and...Daddy!

To play, post in the comment section what I'm thinking in the picture below.



Happy Monday! And please feel better soon Daddy!

Daisy the Bullmastiff

So Daisy heres!

Spring finally sprungs and me and my sister couldn't be happier. We just loves going outside like a million times a day! And Mommy doesn't mind at all opening and closing the doors to let us in and out as many times as we want!

Here's me and sister in the yard. Don't I look huge? Mommy thinks I looks so big in these pictures because of the camera angle and the slope of the yard but I think I'm turning into a Bullmastiffs. What do you think?







It really doesn't matter which I turn, I'm one big doggie!

Because I took up so much space in those pictures, here's one of Pearl all by herself.



She's not turning into a Bullmastiffs but she said she wouldn't mind getting as much food as one of those doggies get. Me, too!

Taking cuteness to a whole other level

Pearl here!

We bid on a super duper poncho over at Paws of Peace, the lovely blog where they raise money for doggies in need and...we won the auction!!!!! I am so happy with my new poncho. I look super cute. Here's the proof.


Who's cuter, me or Daisy? Yeah, me. I know.


I think this picture really highlights my adorableness and my wonderful new poncho. And it's a great picture because Daisy's not in it.

Thank you to Marcia who crocheted my poncho and thank you Paws of Peace for doing such terrific work!

Pug Thoughts Monday

Daisy here!

Mommy has been working and doing chores all day and I was thinking, geez, Mommy, it's been a week (which is like a 159 sleeps to a puggie) since our last post.

So I said, "Mumsie, why don't we play Pug Thoughts Monday!"

After she finished dusting up all the pug bunnies (some of them had grown teeth) in the living room, she said okay.

To play, leave a comment of what I'm thinking in the picture below.



Happy spring!

Take that, Mom!

Pearl here.

See my face?


That's my "Yeah, I did it. So whatta ya going do about it?" face.

And what I did was poop in the bath.

I had no choice. Mom decided it was time for us to get clean. I don't know why we can't stay dirty! That's the way we like it. So I showed her by leaving shartwork in the sink. Yes, the sink. That's where she gives us our baths. In 11 years I've never pooped in the bath but it was time. It was just one little plop. Nothing big or messy but it got my message across.

And that poop message was - no more baths. I don't think she's going to try getting us clean again any time soon.

Flashback Friday

Pearl here!

Here's a picture from a looonnnggg time ago of me and my daddy.



You might think he's brave (or cuckoo) to put a dog toy in his mouth but he was cheating! It was brand new.

Sweetest Emmitt

Our dear friend Emmitt has gone over the rainbow. There is a beautiful goodbye posted on he and his mom's blog. Though we are incredibly sad, we are so glad we knew Emmitt.

Not only did we know him through his blog but we knew him through his mom's, Melissa, art. Years ago, when Pearl was still little, I came across Melissa's work. I told my husband about a puggie watch I wanted and he bought it for me. I love that watch and the sweet puggie face on it. I didn't know until later when I joined the blogging community that Melissa's work was inspired by Emmitt. Through Melissa's work, Emmitt's spirit will live on because his Mom loved him so much. We think there's nothing more wonderful in life than that - to be inspired by love and to pass that love on to others.



Goodbye sweet Emmitt. We love you!

Sue, Pearl & Daisy

February Giveaway Week 3

Pearl here!

I am happy to sit under this chair draped in a blankie but Mommy says it's time for our third and final giveaway this month.


This week we're giving away a whole stuffie diaroama! (Mommy isn't sure she spelled that word right...hmmm...don't ask moi).


Now, normally Daisy and I aren't crazy about squirrels because they run through our yard but this one is okay. He just sits with his acorn and mushroom and minds his own business. We think whoever wins him will find him a good friend - or least not one who is going to eat all the bird seed in your backyard (so far we haven't seen him eating a thing which is kind of weird but kind of good too since he's not trying to eat our food).

To enter the contest, leave a comment on this post anytime up until Sunday at midnight. On Monday, me and my creepy sister will randomly choose a winner.

Happy last weekend of February everyone!
