Pippin Friday and birthday wishes

Today's animal is...Pippin! Since today is Salinger's Mom's birthday and Pippin seems to be her favorite of the Posse, we thought we'd feature Pip in some random pictures.

Happy, happy birthday, Laura!!!!!

Pug hugs and kisses!

Wordless Wednesday...

Happy birthday Mommy!

Hello blogger buddies! Big Ern here. Sorry we haven't been around much lately. Mommy has been a little stressed lately. Last week they had some people at work called Auditors. They have to deal with these people every year, but they had to get auditors from a new company this year, so it was like starting from scratch. I seriously don't know what's wrong with that because I love scratches! Mommy's probably just being silly.

And today is Mommy's birthday. To celebrate we had some friends over on Saturday. There were the 7 of us in the Posse and 5 more pugs came to the party! I don't know who wouldn't have had a good time with a dozen pugs in the house! Salinger brought his paw-rents, Laura and Kevin. I know some of you know about Laura, but in case you don't, it must be said...she is an excellent cook! She made this cake for Mommy that all the humans loved. We couldn't have any because it was chocolate, but Laura also made some homemade pug biscuits for us! They were delicious!!! Here's Mommy posing with Laura... Laura had to give Gus-Gus some love. He was meeting the friends for the first time! Notice LaserPug Eddie on the pink chair ;-)

Sophie, Dixie, and Harley also came with their paw-rents, Kelly and Brian. I think Kelly really liked Gus too...

I don't know why, but Salinger kept getting this weird look on his face. He seemed a little unsure about being in a party crowd so he stayed on his Mommy's lap most of the time...

Laura and Kelly tried to loosen him up with a cocktail weenie...

Lilo brought her paw-rents, Jessica and Ryan. Lilo hasn't been able to get her Mommy to start a blog for her yet, but we're working on her ;-) Bernice used Jessica's lap to try to get to the food on the table...

Mommy and Daddy's friends Russ and Theresa also came to the party. They don't have any pugs, but they have a Gigi. She wasn't too sure what to think of all the pugs, so she kept trying to seek higher ground, like on Daddy's lap...

Here's Mommy and Theresa and Kevin having a good time...

Dixie and Bernice were both using Jessica's lap to try to get to the food while I stood guard...

Watch out Murphy-dog...I think Dixie-Bugg is giving me the eye ;-)

Salinger got a little bit brave...

...but ended up on Ryan's lap...

I am such a good party host...

Kevin was enjoying the food...

Laura and Kelly were comparing Bernice and Sophie...they really look a lot alike...

Laura sure was enjoying Pippin. That's me behind them with Lilo (in the red harness)...

Daddy gave some love to Dixie...

...and to Sophie...

Salinger found his Mommy's lap again...

And so did Pippin....

No wonder Salinger was so uptight...his Mommy kept giving all her attention to Pippin!

Sophie got a little out of control towards the end of the evening when she started chugging wine (don't worry folks, the bottle was really empty!)...

Here is that cake that Laura made for Mommy. She calls it "Are you freaking kidding me chocolate cake". Mommy said it was the best cake ever!!!

Make a wish Mommy!

Dixie really wanted what the humans were eating!

Aw, Sophie was helping her Mommy play Apples to Apples...

The last thing we want to share is a video from the evening. Unfortunately, no one was able to film the pug stampede. We all went outside and when they let us in we all came in at full speed! Good thing no one got in our way! But this video is a pretty good demonstration of the chaos created by 12 pugs in one house!

Take care everyone and Happy birthday to Mommy!!!!!

Pug hugs and kisses!
