Shoutout Monday

Hello everyone! Big Ern here. Mommy didn't feel like uploading the pictures from Saturday's pug meetup yet, so I thought this would be a good time for a few shoutouts.

First, our buddy Pearl is feeling under the weather, so everyone needs to send positive thoughts her way. She is going to the vet tomorrow, so hopefully we'll hear that everything is fine or she just partied too hard over the weekend at her "obedience school" ;-)

Second, we saw our friends Winston and Clementine on America's Funniest Videos last night. Their Mommy sent in a video of them doing their adorable head tilting and it made it on the air! Great job guys! But we think you need your own show now!!!

I'm sure you've all heard about this swine flu thing that has people all worried and schools closing. Well, our friend Howie over at Outside the Lines says that his sister Annie has swine flu! Ok, she doesn't really, but the post is worth reading and there is the most adorable picture of Annie!

So we went to our monthly Meetup on Saturday, but 6 of our Indy blogger buddies didn't make it! We were so disappointed not to see them. As usual, we got the picture of our mommies and some of us got in the picture. Well, Mommy was all excited to finally get to do some creative photo editing because she just got this new software that will do that kind of stuff. So see if you can tell who wasn't really at this meetup...

That's Brutus and his mom, Stacey on the far left. They missed the meetup along with Brutus' foster sister, Miley. Right next to them is Pug(s) and Bugg's mom, Kelly holding Harley. Kelly had to work, so Harley, Dixie, and Sophie didn't get to go to Meetup. (But after meetup, Mommy and Daddy went with Lilo's parents, Jessica and Ryan, to the restaurant where Kelly works and made her work even harder ;-) Then Hank's parents also showed up at the restaurant!) To Kelly's right is Molly and Hank with their mom Sarah. Behind Sarah is Salinger and his mom, Laura. Next is Lilo sitting on her mom Jessica's lap. Then Pugsley and his mom Heather, then Gus and our Mommy! Finally, on the very right is Apollo and his mom, Jami. They didn't make it to Meetup because Apollo's parents went to a baseball game in Chicago.

Phew! That was a lot of links! All right, Mommy wants to go eat dinner, so I have to let her quit typing for me. Hopefully tomorrow she will help us post the pictures from Meetup!

Pug hugs and kisses!

Ernie and the Pug Posse
