Paw it forward!!!

Hey everyone! Big Ern here! I know I said we were going to get better at blogging, but Mama hasn't been very cooperative about that. She is super busy at work and has been working extra hours. By the time she gets home she's too tired to get on the computer. And then the stupid computer died. Daddy had someone look at it and he was told that the hard drive was fried. Well, that was a good excuse for Mama to get an early Christmas present...a netbook! So now we can blog anywhere Mama goes! Right now we're snuggled up with her in bed :-)




I should probably mention that Daddy is doing fine. I didn't get to finish telling you about his gallbladder problems. He was all ready to have it taken out...and I mean he was actually at the hospital with the IV in and everything...when they cancelled the surgery because his blood sugar was too high. He hasn't rescheduled it because he's feeling better and he wants to find a different surgeon who won't cancel the surgery 10 minutes before it is supposed to start.




Ok, enough of that, we got a big surprise in the mail today! Sequoia and Petunia (and their mama) sent us a gift for Paw It Forward! It was so awesome! Look at these awesome mini stockings! Each one has a picture of one of us.

And there was this adorable card with cute puggies on it!

Here is everything all laid out before we got into it...

There were 7 mini tennis balls...Gus LOVES tennis balls...and they squeak too!

And 7 Nylabones! How did they know we love Nylabones?

And 2 bags of our favorite kind of treats! Seriously, how did they know?

Hurry up Mama, we want to dig in!!!!!

Eddie was thinking it was all his and he didn't really want to share...

Have you ever seen Pippin look so excited?

Mama put the Nylabones down and let us pick our own...

Gus was even happier than normal :-)

Every pug was excited about having a bone!

Jas got a yummy flavored bone...

Oh man, these bones were awesome!

Yes, even I thouroughly enjoyed chewing on a bone...

The little alien was so excited that her butt wouldn't even go down!

OH...MY...GOD...is that a tennis ball???

Eddie always looks so serious, but he really was enjoying the bone...

The pugfather has a bone to pick with you... :-D

Ok, now here's the part where whoever else wants to play leaves us a comment! Or you can just send our Mama an e-mail with your snail-mail address... vikkis23@sbcglobal.net. We're looking forward to passing along the pug love! Thank you again Sequoia and Tuni!!!

Pug hugs and kisses!

We're back Part 2

Hey everyone! Big Ern here again to continue to fill you in on our MIA time. So where were we...oh, yes, the wedding on September 19th. Well, Daddy started feeling pretty icky after that. That Monday night he was complaining of pain in his middle section. He asked Mama what it felt like when she had gallbladder problems. It sounded similar, so he stayed home from work the next day and called the doctor. He went in and they did a bunch of tests which all came back normal. Then Wednesday (9/23) was Daddy's birthday (even though he says he's not having any more birthdays). Poor Daddy was feeling so bad on his birthday that Mama couldn't even make him his favorite dinner or even a cake! On Thursday Daddy went back to the hospital for an ultrasound. That showed "sludge" in his gallbladder, but no stones. So they wanted him to see a surgeon to talk about having his gallbladder out since they couldn't find anything else wrong. More about Daddy's problems in the next post since we're going in chronological order. Now on to the fun stuff!

Daddy was starting to feel a little better by the weekend, although not great. But he wanted to have a good weekend anyway. There was a rescue event in the Petco parking lot in Speedway on Saturday. I didn't get to go, but Jasmine, Eli and Gus did. The event was called "Rally to Rescue" and featured a bunch of different rescues besides KPR. It was a pretty nice day and hopefully it helped a lot of doggies get new homes! Here are some pictures of the cute doggies that were representing...

Then we had a birthday party for Daddy! Daddy's sister and dad (and spouses) and some friends including Lilo and her parents came to celebrate!

Sam had to show off his NJROTC uniform. He does look pretty good in the uniform...

Neecy striking a pose...

I have to say it was difficult picking pictures out from this celebration. You see, our 4 year old friend Gigi was allowed to use Mama's camera while our cousin Tabitha was using her mama's camera. There were many, many, many, MANY pictures taken and most of them are just really random pictures of things around the house like the floor and the ceiling fans and pug butts and even some pug poo outside! But there were a few good ones, like this one of Eddie with a party hat :-)

Gus and Pippin are concerned about what the heck is going on...

Uncle Russ is pretty silly (he is Gigi's daddy)...

Little bunny Foo Foo...

Aunt Pam (Daddy's sister and Tabitha's mama) and Aunt Jessica (Lilo's mama) had a good time!

Lilo's mama made a cake for Daddy, but our silly Mama didn't get a picture of it. It was chocolate with chocolate icing and pretty sprinkles on it. The girls definitely enjoyed it (but we weren't allowed to have any)...

Taken more pictures...

Ok, that's all for Part 2! Stay tuned for Part 3! Oh, and check out the newest Indy blogger, TicTac the Teenage Witch! TicTac's parents are great and work really hard for KPR. And, like us, they have an obsene amount of pugs in their house ;-)

Pug hugs and kisses!

We're Back!!!

Hey everyone! Big Ern here! I hope you all remember us! We haven't been able to blog for a while because there has been sooooo much going on and Mama has been so busy! We had a Halloween party last weekend and right after that, Mama got the flu and we had to take care of her. Now that most of our busy stuff is past and Mama is feeling better, we're going to get back into the blog. We apologize for not being able to keep up with anyone else's blog all this time too. I promise we will be working really hard to catch up!
Hopefully over the next few days we'll cover what has been keeping us so busy. We don't want to put too much in one blog and bore everyone ;-) But first here are some pictures of us because we know everyone wants to see us more than anything else!!! Here's Pippin, the Pugfather...

And my beautiful love, Jasmine...

Here we all are getting ready for bed. No, that's not a person under the covers, just Mama's body pillow.

Eddie is still the most pitiful pug...

And Gus is...well, Gus is special...

Neecy is still trying to contact the mother ship...

Eli and I are good buddies...

The special twosome...

Ok, it was the middle of September when we last posted anything. The weekend after that, Grandpa got married! You might remember Mama's sad story last November about Grandma getting sick. It has been almost 2 years since she left us. Unfortunately, most of the Posse never got to meet her. Well, Grandpa had been pretty sad and lonely since then until he met Dee this past spring. They fell in love and decided to get married. So September 19 was the big day. We didn't get to go, but Mama took lots of pictures for us to see. (We stayed home and Lilo's parents came to stay the night with us!) Here is our human brother Sam posing with his little cousins, Max and Tabitha...

Mama and Daddy look like they're missing us, don't they?

The happy couple, Dee and Dennis...

Mmmmmm...look at that yummy cake...

Sam and Mama posing by the ice sculpture...

Saying their vows...

And cutting the cake...wait, that's not chocolate!

Isn't this sweet?

The weekend after the wedding was Daddy's birthday celebration. We'll post some pictures from that next time!

Pug hugs and kisses!
