Jabba the Pug

Another month, another pug meetup. Leia and me took our semi-regular monthly trip down to our favorite dog park in Boulder. Below are some pictures of us romping around in the grass. Enjoy!

oh boy have we had a busy 2 weeks! you’ll never guess who came to visit us! our cousin mickey from california!! we had SO MUCH FUN! mickey loves to romp and play with me and jabba, but he gets tired pretty quickly so it was up to me to keep him busy. i was appointed his personal trainer while he was here and i’m pretty sure he lost a pound or two!

isn’t he handsome?

here we are, all three puggy cousins (well, actually mickey’s our uncle, but we call him cousin). jabba’s wearing his birthday pwesent, and mickey is wearing his new, cool harness, too. i’ve always had a puppia, so i guess i’ve always been cool.

and….TODAY IS JABBA’S BIRTHDAY!!! happy birthday big bwother! and we celebrated a few days earlier, while Mickey was still here. mommy made us a turkey casserole called ’savory scraps’ and boy oh boy was it ever tasty!!!

4 candles for 4 years old!

birthday scramble

happy birthday jabba! and we miss you already mickey! so does our little brother arthur (he likes to sit on mickey like a horse).

what do two pugs do when it’s too hot to romp outside? run around like crazy inside and find crazy places to play ‘chase the pug’ in!

here’s leia taking a break from chase

boo! i’m gonna get you!

oh, and we cry for tweats and food, too. leia likes to scratch the carpet and i’ve taken to watching her get into trouble, as opposed to actually getting into twouble myself.

after bugging the heck out of mommy and daddy, we’re back after a month-long blogging absence! hooray for mommy! (daddy’s upstairs with blurred vision..something about ‘dilated pupils’ and ‘eye doctor’, whatever that means)

we’ve gotten to do some fun things, but crazy mommy and daddy keep forgetting to bring the camera. i told leia that we should buy our OWN camera and clip it to our harness so we can capture every moment of crazy butt-tucking, poo-sniffing, shoe chewing puggy life.

hark. what goes yonder? it’s leia with half a soda bottle stuck on her head.

yes, i have to live with her.

in other news, the ‘rents keep buying things for our little brother, arthur. come on guys! we want fun stuff, too! look at these baby wipes! we could have so much fun with those if you would just leave them on the floor for us!

mommy has also noticed a strange phenomenon. several other pugs and their people have had little human puppies join them this spring. here are their blogs: all up in the kool-aid, goodboy norman featherstone, go pug yourself (formerly bringing up shelby), and flat nosed pups. and us! jabba and leia! with this discovery, mommy has uncovered a web-wide plot by us pugs to manufacture suitable human companions who will willingly and gladly bestow upon us all their tweats and snacks and cookies and biscuits and food! and so i’d like to say to all those successful…good work guys!

mommy just told me that the very beautiful pug, Mimi LaRou, has pranced over the rainbow and out of Hollywood. from one pretty pug to another….we’ll all miss you Mimi!

guess where me and leia got to go last weekend?! the pug meetup! yaay! boy oh boy we’re sure glad to be back into the swing of summer fun! i would love to share with you some pictures of all the fun times we had, but silly mommy and daddy forgot the camera in the car.

we also have some good chases at home, too. here we are in the heat of battle!

over the last few months leia has adopted the stairs as her new domain. here she can gaze over her minions and ponder her tweats and toys and potty breaks

i’m sure we’ll have more fun this weekend, maybe the folks will even give us some bbq tweats! oh, and don’t forget to give your daddies lots of kisses and wiggles this weekend! i know me and leia sure will! our daddy is the best!

being a big brother sure has made me a more responsible pug! see what a good babysitter i am?

notice how leia is absent from this picture? she tries to steal arthur’s hanging toys…what a silly girl.

gotta scram! my morning nap is calling my name!

ooooh yeah…..two hot puggies soakin’ up some sun! is there anything better to do on a sunny afternoon?!

hooray! mommy bought us a new kitchen bed! me and leia think it’s so comfy. the old bed was *really* old and lumpy. see how nice we share?

and now that the weather is nice here in colorado, we get to go on more walks! i’m trying to trim down to my summer weight so i can impress the ladies at the next puggie meetup. boy, i’m sure excited to go! we haven’t been since last year! now that our little brother is old enough, mommy promised us we could go.

have a fun week everybody and go play outside!

leia here, just reminding all you puggies and fwiends out there to make sure and give your mommy lots of kisses today!

my mommy likes to call me the ‘little mother’ because i keep everybody clean, toes, ears, faces, hands, everything!

here’s me trying to play with jabba:
