Mommy's Favorite Things

It does not get much better than this - wine and pugs all in one. Great idea and greater gift idea for this Holiday season. Don't go empty handed - pick up one of these and support the pug rescue. You can buy a single bottle for yourself or a gift pack. See the website to purchase.

We Just Love this!

Happy Memorial Day - From Me and The Rock

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!

A night to remember

This was a weekend I will never forget! It was my first Valentine's Day and I got to spend it with the Pug of my dreams, Harry. He even took this picture of us at the disco.

I wrote a little poem about our night.

Harry Pugalicious, dessert was delicious

the night was divine, and you were so fine

We danced under the stars, the night was truly ours

You stole my heart, from the very start

Thank you for the Valentine's date, I really think you are great.

Love, Rosie

Valentine's Ready

My nerves have subsided and I am all set for my valentine's date with Harry. I bought a new dress for the date. It is a little form fitting, but I think the color is just perfect. Good thing my pawrents are out of town - I don't think the daddy would let me go out in this dress. :)

Valentine Confession

I have a crush on a Pug. Can you guess who it is (see below)?

Please leave a comment with your guess and I will confess my crush on Friday in honor of Valentine's Day :)

Christmas at Grandma's

This is Christmas at Grandma's. First, her Christmas Tree in the main living room is filled with handmade ornaments that she made herself.

Then she has this tree in the hallway for the side entrance to the house and this 1/2 tree on the wall in the kitchen. The 1/2 tree has all Santa Clause ornaments.

She also has hundreds of Santa Clauses through out the entire house - lots and lots of them - pictures cannot do the display justice, but here are a few.

Grandma also loves bears and has a beautiful Nativity Set.

Then, of course there are the gifts and the littles.

Finally, here is the humans annual family portrait.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Happy Holidays

The Mommy said she is all done shopping and wrapping. (I liked chewing up the wrapping paper so The Mommy hid all the presents and paper in her closet). The Mommy, Daddy and the Littles are visiting with family on Christmas Eve and then going to Grandma's on Christmas Day. The Mommy said she will be sure to take pictures from Grandma's house because she has hundreds of Santa Clause's that she displays every year. She also is the one that gives TONS of gifts.
Happy Holidays to all and I will be back to post again after Christmas!
Wishing you lots of pug love and me lots of doggie treats,
Rosie

Last night and the Santa Patrol

Last night was crazy and exciting! There were lots of sirens and flashing lights outside. The littles were running around the house looking out all the windows. I ran around following them because it looked like fun. They were saying there "he" is and here "he" comes. They said "he" was riding on a big red truck. I never actually got to see "him", but I felt the excitement so much so that I did pee pee on the floor by the back door. Whatever "he" was doing it sure got the littles all riled up!
I also got a bath last night. The mommy said that I was stinky and since I was digging a big hole in the backyard that I had to get a bath if I wanted to sleep in her bed which of course I did. The bath was very warm and nice. The mommy even put me in my nice warm sweater after I was all dry. :)

Christmas Past

The Mommy was looking through some old photos of before I was born and found this one of the littles from 2004. The Mommy said this was Christmas morning and they thought they were so funny because they were sitting in each others seats (Spiderman and Dora). Those seats have now become mine and I sit in them often. My Mommy said that I kind of look like Dora - what do you think?

The Mommy then found this photo from Christmas 2007 from Grandma's house and Yes, those are all of our presents. We ALL love Grandma's house!

Finally, this is the littles from this past summer. You can tell that they have grown from 2004 quite a bit. Also, notice the living room. Same fireplace different everything else. Mommy said that was last years income tax project.

This year she said we will be lucky to have jobs (whatever that is).

Well hope you enjoyed my Christmas Past Tour.

Holiday Decorations

This year the littles and the daddy put up and decorated the tree. The Mommy was out shopping and came home and it was almost all done. As you can see, many of the ornaments are on the same branch but the littles were so proud of themselves that the Mommy did not have the heart to change anything around.

They also hung the stockings. (see my bed underneath - I hope Santa does not step on me).

This is one of the Mommy's favorite ornaments - I don't know why since it is not a pug.

Since this is my first Christmas, I think we need to get a Pug on this tree to celebrate me.

The Littles Gingerbread House

The littles decided to make a Gingerbread House. Although they are not as talented as these folks Goodboy Norman Featherstone: 2008 Gingerbread House Competition, I think for 5 and 7 it turned out quite nice. Plus they were very proud of themselves and me of them!
Here they are hard at work:

And here is the finished product. This is the front of the house (both sides) - notice the gummy walkway and Christmas wreath at the top.
Here is the back - nice window boxes.
and their favorite the roof top.

Mommy helped them a little with mixing the icing, but they did most of it all by themselves. Pugs were not allowed to help. I think they thought I would eat it all. They are probably right!

Thanksgiving Pictures

My Mommy took these Thanksgiving pictures. This is the place where I did not get to go. Notice the very nice fireplace and dining room. Also, notice all of the Turkey that I did not get to eat.


This is Bella and Max (my cousins). Max looks mean, but he is actually a nice Pug. They got to eat the Turkey shown above. They are like my grandparents age so, I guess they deserve all that Turkey.

I will have some more pictures posted tomorrow. Please come back and take a peek!
