Pug with the top Pee

2011-04-26T16:43:00.001-07:00

Spring is here - which means walkies.

Buster pees and I pee on top of his pee.

He then pees on my pee.

Then I pee on his pee again.

I always have to get the last pee.

Birthday Celebration

2011-03-13T17:54:00.000-07:00

Wednesday was my Birthday. I turned 3 years old. Buster and I got to celebrate by going to the doggie spa. We had baths, got our nails done and were sent home with these really cool bandanna necklaces.

Then we had a nap in the sun. Mommy took off our necklaces because she is afraid we would get stuck on something.

Then Buster sang me Happy Birthday.

It was a very special day.

Off the top of my head

2011-01-19T13:01:00.000-08:00

Hi Furends,

I am going to give an off the top of my head update on my life happenings in no particular order.

As you know, the mommy and I are on a diet. The Mommy is down 10 lbs. I am up and down each week. Currently weighing in at 25.2 lbs. The Mommy has been pretty good at following her menu plan. I eat whatever I can as fast as I can. This week I was able to steal the littles waffles and give the old brown eyes to the daddy for some pork loin. Not to mention all the treats and bones I get when the Mommy is at work. The Mommy continues to buy the diet food with the hopes I will actually shed a lb or 2.

Buster and I have built a pretty good friendship. I am like the older sister. When he barks, I run over like the older pug to handle the problem. But the problem is Buster barks at EVERYTHING. He barks so much the hoomans go crazy. He barks at the cats which bothers the Mommy and he barks at the littles which bothers EVERYONE. He is all bark and no bite though so nothing to fear, just plug your ears.

The snow. The snow is EVERYWHERE and never goes away. I don't mind it so much but Buster is afraid to leave the deck. Which is pretty sloppy if you know what I mean. Also, all that snow = no sidewalks and therefore, no walks for Rosie :(

Cats. The cats and I are slowly becoming less friendly. It must be because Buster and I made this Pug alliance and he barks at them all the time so that makes me on his side. I don't mind it that much though chasing them is a little fun (who said that??).

Finally, sleeping arrangements. I used to be the only one to Velcro to the Mommy but Buster being the baby is ALWAYS on her Lap and has to sleep attached to her hip so I just moved down to her leg at night and squeeze on the lap during TV time. I am a good sharer.

Rosie Marie

P.S. I really need to get some Buster pictures on this blog. Coming soon...

No weight loss this week - I remained the same.

We are Going Down Down Down Down Down

2010-12-20T08:36:00.000-08:00

This week's weigh In: 24.6. I am down .8 from last week.

Plus, the Mommy lost another pound. Down 6 total in two weeks.

We are on a mission for 2011.

Other than diet, we have been taking our walks.

Buster and I have made a pact to antagonize the cats as much as possible and have been doing a great job. The hoomans are not so happy about this pact but, Buster and I think it is great. Whenever one of us sees a cat on the floor they are free game to bark and chase and the cats go running like crazy (he he). I know we should be nice this time of year but, we just can't resist the chase - and those cats are soooo fun to chase.

Hope you are all getting ready for Santa paws!
Sure hope Buster and I don't get any coal maybe we should layoff until after the New Year - hmmm Nah!

Bad Bacon

2010-12-13T11:34:00.000-08:00

Buster and I got in big troubles.

The Daddy was makin bacon.

We smelt the bacon.

We begged for the bacon.

He THREW us BACON (can you feel the excitement).

We fought over the bacon. We fought and got in big troubles with the Mommy :(

She did get over it but was not happy with us. We were like two puggies who lost their minds over that bacon. Beware of the Bacon!!!

BTW, The Mommy lost 5 lbs. Go Mommy!

Weigh In and Buster Update

2010-12-10T11:01:00.000-08:00

Well, I got weighed last night. It was good but, all of the Turkey day damage is not gone yet.

This week weigh in: 25.4 lbs.

Down from last week (26 lbs.) but still not back to my weight loss of before the holiday.
The mommy gets weighed tomorrow so we will post on that another day.

Buster Update: He is doing good. Him and I play a lot. He is always in play mode and I have to remind him that pugs are suppose to rest during the day!!
He also snores like a freight train which has woken the mommy up a few times. We thought daddy was bad - no way - Buster Boy can snore with the best of them!!
Another thing about Buster is his tongue is bigger than his mouth and it always hangs out a tiny bit - the mommy says its cute - but I am not so sure.
Other than those few nit picky things, he is pretty nice to have around and the hoomans really like him too! Him and I are like bosom buddies and pretty much do everything together!

Well, Hope you are all getting your pawsents purchased for the howldays!

Getting Back On Track

2010-12-03T06:43:00.000-08:00

Well with Buster's arrival and the Thanksgiving Holiday my diet went out the window.

Things are now settled down and I am getting back on track. I am going to pretend the last 2 weeks did not happen and start again today. My next weigh in will be in 1 week and I will see where I stand. The mommy is also starting a diet so I may report on her success as well.

Buster is doing great and is a perfect fit for our family. Him and I hang out all the time and play. The mommy says he has a lot of good habits that I should pick up. Not sure what she is talking about. (She says he walks nicer on the leash and that I pull too much.)

Although he does bark a lot at the cats which has Gabby having a heart attack. He is very friendly and I think just wants to play with them. He follows the mommy everywhere and likes to sit on her lap - so now we both do that.

I do think having a brother around is going to be great.

Adjusting

2010-11-22T17:35:00.000-08:00

Hi Furends,

I am not sure where to start. Things have definitely changed in my house by having a brother around. At first, I was shocked to meet Buster and was not sure why he was in my yard.

I checked him out closely to see who he was and reported my findings to Jet who waited on the inside.

I had to double check my findings.

Then decided I would give him a go and race him around the yard.

When we went inside he started chewing on my bone.

I am starting to wonder if this is how things are going to be from now on.
I am not an only pug anymore. It takes a getting used to!

Buster's Arrival

2010-11-22T02:36:00.000-08:00

The hoomans were up before the sun. They travelled an hour north to meet the transport. Seven other dogs new families were there waiting too. The transport was running late and everyone's excitement was growing. Finally, they could see the big truck coming up the road.
Amazing the dogs were stacked 3 high in that trailer. Buster was on the tippy top.

The dogs were barking all wondering if it was their time to get out. The workers took each dog out one by one and handed them off to their new families. My family went up when it was their turn and they handed them Buster. He was so cute - said the Mommy and the littles were so happy.

They came home and introduced me and Buster in the yard. We ran around a lot and sniffed each other.

I can see us becoming fast friends.

I will tell you about our first days together in the next post.

Buster is Coming - Buster is Coming

2010-11-17T07:37:00.000-08:00

I have the most exciting news. Yep - This is my New Brother - Buster.

Buster is 2 years old - just like me :) and he is coming to live with me this Saturday. YIPPEE! He has a long way to travel to get here. He is starting his trip Thursday morning leaving his foster home in Arkansas and spending the night in Tennessee. Then he boards the transport with all the other rescue doggies and travels up the coast to Maryland, Pennsylvania and then to my state New Jersey. The transport will keep going to deliver all the other doggies all the way up to Massachusetts. I am glad he is getting off early because then I will have all day to play with him and show him around the house. We even got him a new bed, harness and some toys. We are so excited that he is coming to live with us and he will be my buddy for ever and ever.
I will let you all know how things are going after he gets here and tell you all about his exciting adventure (after he tells me of course).

Also, don't forget about the weigh in Friday November 19, 2010. Diet food and green beans. I sure hope Buster likes green beans.

Happy Birthday Ottis and Stuff

2010-11-03T07:34:00.000-07:00

Hi Dawgies-
I have been getting my regular exercise and it feels great. The Mommy and I are on a regular schedule now of walking at least 2 times a day and for Halloween we walked for over an hour going from house to house. I have an appointment at the doctor tomorrow and can't wait to see what I weigh.
I want to wish my brother Ottis the cat a Happy 15th Birthday. He is an old man but still looks great.
I love this weather with the leaves all falling - but do beware - the Mommy found a tick on me the other day so those bad guys are still out there. The tick was all blown up too - it was really gross.
Make sure you keep up with your vaccinations so those bad boys don't get you sick!
I will let you know how my visit with the doctor goes. Paws crossed for good news!

Papers and Shaping Up

2010-10-22T09:37:00.000-07:00

Hi Everydoggy,

I am not sure what is going to happen, but it looks like Molly may already have a home lined up so she won't be coming to live with us.

The mommy did fill out some papers and handed them into the rescue to see if there were any other puggys that wanted to be my sister/brother. Of course, they have to like littles and cats too so we are waiting to see what happens.

In the mean time, the mommy is trying to get me into shape. She started a walking regimen which is fine with me because I love walkies. We walk at least 2x per day and then I can run around the yard. Plus I get to go to the dog park on the weekends.

She cut my snacks and is really being super strict with my food. She wants me to weigh less when I go back to the doctor because she said every time I go I gain weight. I barked that I am a growing girl but she did not fall for it.

Hope you all have a Happy Halloween and I will be in touch again soon!

Paws Crossed - Big News

My Paws are crossed. The Mommy sent in an application to adopt a sister. I sure hope she can come and live with us. She likes bones just like me and is so pretty. Her name is Molly. We have not told the cats yet - thought it may be better to keep it our little secret.

Don't Forget the Wrapper

2010-07-14T18:25:00.000-07:00

Bloggin Buddies,
So sorry I have not been around lately. We are a busy group and sometimes never even get to turn this puter on anymore.
This has been a great summer so far. I have been swimming and BBQing and sleeping and playing. But dont get me wrong it has not been all treats and table scraps. I had to visit the vet a few weeks back because some bug got in my stomach. The mommy thought it crawled in when she got me a bone from the pet store that did not have a wrapper (never eat a bone that was not individually wrapped). That bug was just waiting for me to eat it up and it could get going in my tummy. I had to get some medicines to get that buggy out. I am all better now and feeling good again. I am looking forward to more funs and stuff. Here I am with one of the littles enjoying a bone that was wrapped up.

I hope you are all having a great summer too. Play lots, lick lots, sleep lots and loves lots! Talk to you again soon!

Happy Memorial Day - From Me and The Rock

2010-05-31T05:38:00.000-07:00

Today is a beautiful day in NJ. I am glad to be home - I spent the last two nights at the resort and spa while my pawrents were away. They picked me up early last night after a super great bath and I am ready for a little family fun and BBQ.

I was checking out my yard last night to see if all was in order after my time away from home and I found a visitor. At first I thought he was a rock but when I went up to sniff him he moved and I took off running. I went back to take a second look with my dad and he said I found one of these:

The littles wanted to keep my rock friend but the mommy said no way. So they carried him outside to the woods and we went on with our fun.

About an hour later, that rock dude was back in my yard. I guess he heard us having so much fun but the dad was planning to mow the grass tomorrow and that could be disastrous for the rocky guy so, they carried him out even further into the woods.

I was out this morning to see if he came back but no lil rock man. I guess dad has the green flag to mow the grass.

The hoomans put on the heater last night so we are all planning to spend this glorious day celebrating our soldiers and the freedom they provide us all while lounging in the pool.

Yep - I am ready - last one in is a rotten rock guy (he he)!

Happy Memorial Day ALL!

Thanks and Doggie Day Care

2010-05-19T16:10:00.000-07:00

Thank you every puggy and their mommy for all the great advice. My momma is going to try some alternate methods before surgery especially since I feel fine. She also has me eating a new food to help with my pugish figure.

And she made a reservation for me to go to doggie day care tomorrow so I can get some exercise during the day while she is at work. There are going to be lots of other dogs my size at day care to play with and should be loads of barking fun.

I will post all about my day this weekend. I am soooo excited. Have you ever been to day care before?
I would love to hear about your adventure.

Calling all Fur Mommas - Need some Advice

Calling all Fur Mommas

Calling all Fur Mommas

My Mom and I have a question.

I went to see the Doctor yesterday and he said I have a knee problem. Specifically, he said I have a luxating patella STAGE 3 (YIKES). Mom and I have been doing some research and it seems that my knee will eventually get worse and I will need a surgery. I am only 2 years old - WTF?????

We wanted to reach out to all you fur babies and see if you ever had this luxating patella or knew anybody who did and get some advice.

My mommy is not rushing into anything since it does not bother me but really wants to know if anyone has experience with this problem.

Thanks.

Super Pugtastic Park Visit

2010-04-11T16:05:00.000-07:00

The mommy took me to the dog park on this super beautiful day. I am a very social pug girl at the park and went to greet Everyone. All the greeting got me pug tired so, I rested under the table for a millisecond and then went off visiting again.

I was super duper excited when I saw this gal come into the park.

Her name is Missy and her and I got along really great. We had so much in common and hung around together. Missy was saved after her hoomans had to flee from the Katrina storm. She is very brave and was very nice too.

We had tons of fun running and sniffing around the park together. I sure would like to see Missy again at the park to play.

I am sooooo glad the weather is nice again and I can get outside.

Hope you all had a super pugtastic weekend like I did!

PugTastic - Happy Easter

2010-04-03T18:02:00.000-07:00

Hi - Furends,

PugTastic - I made a wish the other day and just like that the weather got PugTastic!! I have been outside all day long. I helped stain the deck, clean the yard, did a little BBQ and even played with the cat, Jet. The other amazing thing was the little hooman rode his bike without those little wheels on the back and everyone thought that was just great. We are all pooped from the fresh air and busy day. Plus, I hear we are having a lot of peeps over tomorrow and I don't mean those sweet sugary marsh mellow chicks either. Hope you all have fun with your peeps and have a very Happy Easter!

Beady Eyes and Boredom

2010-01-17T15:16:00.000-08:00

Wow I went totally MIA. The mommy got this new phone and does not go on her lap top like she used to. I begged her to get on today so I could see what is going on out there. I feel like I have been stuck in the house with no connection to the world and then to top it all off this beady eyed, long tailed thing was living in my house for a week. The hoomans put it in this ball to run around the house so Jet and I could not catch it.

Here are me and Jet trying to figure this thing out. I think it was one of the only times Jet and I were in agreements that whatever this thing was it could not stay.
I gave the ball a few good whacks and I am sure that thing was mighty dizzy. Jet tried the sneak up approach but the hoomas were watching. Apparently the little had to return the thing to where ever it came from.

Other than the visitor, life has been pretty boring around here. Yesterday was the first nice day in a while so the Mommy took me to the park. Here I am in the car - you can see my excitement to just go somewhere - anywhere.

I really hope things start to pick up around here. I have been napping way too much.

Mommy and the Snow

2009-12-22T13:00:00.000-08:00

I feel like an absent blogger lately. The mommy has had her nose buried in book after book lately. She started reading this vampire and werewolf series and can't stop. Plus with all the snow we got over the weekend (24 inches) she has had even more of a reason to keep reading. She has 1 more book left of the 4 book series and then hopefully, we can get back to our pug bloggy reading which of course is most important. Just so you don't forget me - here are pics of me during the snow storm.

The Tree

2009-12-16T11:00:00.000-08:00

Our tree.
I love our family tree. It is decorated with ornaments of past and present that we love and cherish.
The littles enjoy looking at their ornaments every year, remembering making them or where they came from and placing them on the tree.
I hope we continue this tradition always.

Lovely Leaves

2009-12-08T11:21:00.001-08:00

I have been reading how a lot of blogger doggies have been using the indoors as their toilet due to the cold weather. I did that a lot in the past but, since discovering the joys of peeing in leaf piles - I do prefer to go outside. There is nothing like the feeling of the leaves hitting your bottom while squatting to pee - in fact, I have never passed a leaf pile without stopping. The hoomans are onto my peeing pleasure and have left some leaves in the yard all for me.

WARNING: Don't do this in my yard -

Of course, if they forget to let me out all bets are off and I will do what I have to do (inside). Pugs never hold it.

Weekend Update

2009-12-07T03:07:00.000-08:00

The mommy brought me to the Jersey Shore Pug meet up on Sunday. It was really cold but a lot of pugs came out to play anyway. We forgot the camera and I am secretly glad we did since I was one of the chubbiest puggies there. I am not sure if they were under fed or I have been dipping into the treat box a little too often. I am sure you can guess what the mommy thinks.

We also met a really cool pug - he was silver. I had never met a silver pug before and thought he was quite handsome - his name was Frankie. The mommy really liked him too.

Other than that, I stayed inside this weekend - it was cold. I am going to have to find some indoor activities or it is going to be a very long winter....

Award Tuesday and Other Stuff

2009-12-01T06:15:00.000-08:00

Woohoo - How are you?

I have been a busy puggie lately. The weather has been pretty nice here in NJ and the mommy and littles took me to the dog park like 1256 times. It was soooo much fun. We forgot the camera though which kind of stinks. I played with lots of other doggies and got my nose real close to their (%&%%) in true pug fashion. The mommy says I am Disgusting but I have to get waaaayyy in there to smell since my snout is so short. Those doggies with a long snout do not need to get as close. I am sure you other puggies understand :).

We have also been decorating our house. We set up a tree inside which the cats really like and a bunch of lights outside - pretty cool stuff.

Plus the best thing of all - there are tons of leaves everywhere!!! (FYI - don't jump in the leaves around my house - you might find a surprise).

Lastly, and most importantly, my BF Harry Pugalicious gave me this super pawsome award that I am so grateful to receive. Thanks a bunch Harry.

4. Pee in the leaves when we take a walk. I try to pee - even if I am all dried up :)

5. Nap on the mommy's lap.

Grandmaw's Thoughts

2009-11-11T16:56:00.000-08:00

I am home. Grandmaw's was great but I missed my hoomans.

A couple of things the Grandmaw said about me:

1) I do not like to be alone (I pooped on the floor by the door whenever she went out)

2) I pull on the leash (I can escape from all of my harnesses)

3) I like to pee on leaves (not to many of those in NY where Grandmaw lives - we had to hunt some down and return often)

4) I am a lap dog (always have to lay on the lap)

5) I am a princess (slept right in the middle between grandmaw and grandpaw) tee hee hee:)

I think she got the last one right :)

Hi Furends -
Good News
This weekend I earned me some super bonus points for leaving no deposits in the house. It was a rainy and cold weekend so the mommy was very happy with me for doing everything outside. She even brought me for a few car rides and gave me lots of praise and treats. Plus, no crate all weekend since the hoomans were home with me. Yeah!!
Bad News
I have a bumpy rash under my coat and we are not sure what it is. It does not itch me or bother me but the mommy is concerned. We are going to try a different food and see if that helps. The mommy gave me a bath too but the rash did not go away. I had this rash one other time and it went away in a few days. This time it seems to be here longer than the last. I told the mommy it could be my food and to give me pancakes instead, but she did not go for that one :).

Hi Furends,
Hope you all had a great weekend like I did. For being such a good girl, the mommy took me for a ride in the car. I Love to go bye bye in the car - it is so exciting especially when she opens the windows and I can stick my nose out.
We also went to Petco and got treats and a new collar for me. I have been escaping from my harness so she got me a collar to try out. It is purple (I think I know a certain Sibe who would LOVE it).
I also went to visit my good friend Neptune but the mommy forgot her camera when we went for the visit. Here I am in the car: - Hi

and the best thing of all about this weekend - I was not in the crate at all since the mommy was with me 24/7. So guess who was.......

stoopid cat. BOL.

Up To Speed

2009-10-08T12:33:00.000-07:00

Hi Rosie Here,

As you all heard I have been locked up in my crate and the mommy has been hacking into my blog. I have been a VERY good girl and have been following all the "good dog" instructions like going outside to pee and poop, not chewing on the furniture, etc. but she STILL is putting me in the farkakte (S-dog word) crate. I even have been going to my "old" bye bye spot on the couch where I use to go lay down during the day when the mommy was at work and she is still not getting the hint. I thought this morning she fur sure would have let me stay free but no she scooped me up and put me in the crate. *sigh* How long will this go on????

On a happier note, as you can see from yesterday's pictures with Jet he is all healed up (if you don't remember what happened to the poor guy look here). He is back to his old self (and he smells good too). He is still a little on the stoopid side though - can you believe that when the mommy lets me out of the crate he actually goes in their to sleep - what a cat turd. BOL.

Well finally, I will leave you with some pictures of me playing with some toys I found outside in our yard yesterday. Windy Days Rock!!!

2009-10-05T06:06:00.001-07:00

Hi Everyone,
Rosie's Mom again today. I want to thank everyone for their comments and good advice. This weekend was a success with Rosie's training. We crated her when we left the house and paid strict attention to when she had to go outside and there were no accidents. We also spent all day Saturday cleaning the carpets down stairs and they look and smell delightful so we are being extra careful with watching Rosie's every move. This morning, I had her outside and she went #1 and and then wandered around the yard a bit. She came in and ate her breakfast. Then I saw her sneak off to go down stairs. I followed her and caught her before she did anything but, she was certainly planning on leaving a poop down there so I took her right outside and she went in the proper place. I think she will need this type of attention for a while before she gets it right. I did crate her when I left for work this morning and she seemed OK with it - I know she would rather lounge on the couch all day but oh well.
Thanks again and I will let you know how it all works out.
Rosie's Mom, Kristy

Rosie's Mom With a Question

2009-10-02T05:52:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone,
I am taking over Rosie's blog today because I have an issue with Rosie and I wanted to see how many others may deal with the same problem and I would like to get some suggestions.
The problem is potty training the pug. Rosie will be two in March and still goes potty in the house. She won't go upstairs but thinks that going downstairs is the same as going outside. Some days she will go outside with no problem but on others, I will have her outside for a long time - she will sniff away and then when she comes in the house will go down stairs and poop. Rainy days are the worst and when I am at work she was getting free reign of the house and doing a lot of her business downstairs.
We decided to start putting her back in her crate during the day and then letting her out for a long while when we get home. We started this yesterday and there were no accidents.
The problem is I feel guilty leaving her crated. She is usually crated for about 5 hours a day.
Do any of you crate your dogs while at work?
Is 5 hours too long?
Do any of you have this same problem? If so, how are you handling?
We really want to break her of this habit before she ruins every carpet downstairs.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks and have a great weekend!
Rosie's Mom, Kristy

Good News, Bad News

2009-09-16T06:32:00.000-07:00

Hi Furends,

Good News - My lump was gone so we came to the conclusion that it must have been the shots I got and everything is a OK now.

Bad News - Jet had to get a catheter last night because his peeer hole was healing so well that it was healing shut or at least too small which could cause the same problem he had before. It was really gross the catheter was sticking out and (you know) there was no bag so the Mommy had to lock him in the extra bathroom so she could keep the house clean. The Mommy went to bed last night around 11pm and checked on him at 6am this morning and Jet managed to remove the cone around his head and pulled the catheter completely out and it was a long tube.

The mommy has to call the doctor this morning and see what we can do now - the catheter thing is not going to work for us. We may just wait and see what happens because Jet totally hates the VET and bites him all the time. He won't even let them look at him - they have to give him sleepy medicine to get near him.
Poor kitty - maybe they should just leave him alone. He is happy when he is home.

Chillin and Check Ups

Hi Furends,

Not much going on in my house - just chillin and enjoying the nice weather we are having. Tonight Jet is scheduled to go to the VET for his check up - (we think he is all better) and the mommy said I may have to go too. When the VET gave me my shots at the last visit, I now have a hard ball under my fur. The mommy has been rubbing it but it is is still there. We thinks it might be the medicine so we are getting it checked tonight. I can't even feel it but the mommy is concerned. After tonight, Jet and I hope we don't have to go to the VET for a long time.

Mom Remembers

2009-09-11T00:47:00.000-07:00

I am reading all the posts about 9/11. So I asked my mom about that day.
Mom remembers......
It was a Tuesday. I was just back to work about 1 week after being on maternity leave with the oldest little. I had a commute of approx. 45 minutes back then so I dropped off the little at her sitter around 7am and headed to work. My commute involved going over a bridge and mostly highway roads. I remember thinking how beautiful the weather was that day when I was going over the bridge. I got to work around 8am and did the usual signing on the computer etc. The girl that sits next to me was the first to say anything about the tragedy. Her husband worked in NYC and called her saying that something hit one of the towers. We thought at first it was just a terrible accident and then the second tower was hit. People were getting worried - many had family members who worked in the towers. We could actually see the smoke from one of the windows of our building which was located in NJ. Immediately, management started telling us we could go home if we wanted. I always respected that because my fear was that they would close all the bridges and I would not get home to my new born baby. I left and headed to the sitters. Many of my friends were stuck because they could not get over the bridge back into NY - the bridges to and from NY were all closed down.
We were not sure if we were under attack or at war.
Very scary day and sad for so many.
God Bless the volunteers who helped after the tragedy.
God Bless all the survivors who lost loved ones and
of course, Rest in Peace all of those who were lost.
I will never forget.

Well as you all know, littles live in my house and they are GREAT at leaving foodables around for me to get to very easily.

Lets see - oh pork roll - my favorite - The daddy makes pork roll and egg sandwiches in the am and I stand right under the griddle - he is a sloppy cooker hehe. OK then there are Doritos - yummy salty crispy goodness - my favorite :) and lets not forget about bologna - school lunch making time is my favorite!!

Today the littles got dressed early and we went outside with me on the leash. I love going for walkie walks and thought WOW what a great way to start the day.
I was ready to go and then we all just stood in the driveway.

Then the mommy started taking pictures of us. WTF - I thought we were going for a walkie walk. Then I heard it coming. I had to listen real good to make sure it was what I thought it was.

Yup - the Big Yellow Thing. The littles hopped on and off they went. I guess we are going back to the old routine.

Hi Furends, This has been a crazy week around my house. Last night we lost Jet for awhile - he just disappeared and we looked all over for him. I was starting to think the aliens came back but, we finally found him hiding in the daddy's closet. He is on the mend and looks a lot better today. He is even losing the stinky smell. The mommy said 1 more bath should do it for good. I want to wish you all a happy and Safe labor day. I will leave you with a picture of me that looks like I am sliding into home plate.

Jet Speaks

2009-09-03T04:49:00.000-07:00

Hi - My name is Jet. Rosie said I could blog for her today to tell you my story. See I was abducted by aliens. I don't remember much but I know they did some alien research and testing on me and they stole my jewels. I have included a very graphic picture of what they did to me at the end of this post so if you have a weak stomach stop reading now.

The aliens also put this thing around my neck and the hoomans have not been able to figure out how to get it off yet. I asked Rosie to try too but she is just a dog (no offensive doggies - the cats will understand).
See her below she is trying to figure out how it works and instead of getting it off - she decided to lick the extra cat food that got stuck on the end after I had dinner. Typical Pug.

Then I thought maybe she had it figured out.
Nope she went right to my back side (another typical Pug move). OK the graphic pic is coming up - all you males out there get ready to wince.

YIKES - and yes it does hurt but I am feeling better.

Hope those aliens plan of doing something good with my jewels.

Peace out - Jet

Poor Jetty Woo Woo

2009-09-02T06:35:00.000-07:00

Hi Furends,
The aliens really did a job on poor Jet (we call him Jetty Woo Woo)- he looks terrible. They shaved his skin, he is all bruised where they had to give him the incision and he is miserable with the cone on his head. This morning he was better than yesterday and we hope he will be even better by this evening. He also stinks - the mommy tried to wash him up but he has already been through so much trauma we decided to just leave him alone for a bit.
I did hear that he put up quite a fight - the aliens were bit and scratched to the point they thought Jet was pure evil - but now that he is home with his family he is lovable little Jetty again. Poor guy.
The mommy did not even want to take a pic of him for my blog - she wants to forget that he had to even go through this operation.
Hope you are all having a better day!

UTI not UFO

2009-09-01T06:18:00.000-07:00

We went to the VET last night. My check up was just fine - I weigh 23.8 lbs and got 3 shots. The shots did not hurt one bit because my bum is nice and fluffy (so the doctor said). He said I was a beautiful girl and everybody loved me.

Jet on the other hand did not have such a nice visit. He did not want the doctor to touch him and was hissing and trying to bite him. They had to give him some medicine just to look at him. He did not come home with us last night so I can only guess that this guy took him.
and they went on this:

The mommy said he has a UFO and blocked peeer. I am not real clear on how they are related but they said a lot of cats get these UFO's. I knew cats were a little spacey. I am guessing that the UFO must bring him somewhere to fix his peeer thingy. All sounds a little strange to me. I heard the mommy tell the littles that he should be home tonight. The mommy also said that these UFO trips were expensive. I will fill you in on his trip when he gets home.

Yup - that is what is going on in my house. Jet the cat has something wrong with his peeer and has been invited to my VET appointment tonight.
I am getting a check up and Jet is getting a peeer inspection (hehehehe).
No seriously - I hope he is OK. Mom things he has a UFO or something.
He was not feeling well over the weekend but seems to be better now. I think his peeer was stuck for a few days. My mommy said the UFO was the problem and he may need some antirobotics to cure him. I am not sure if the robots are taking him on the UFO but the mommy said he should be OK.
I just want a simple check up with no space aliens please.
