Happy Days Are Here Again...

We had a good time at Doggie Camp while mom was gone to New Mexico.  We were really glad, though, when she picked us up, and even happier when she told us Chloe was coming home! It is great to have our girl back with us! We love her so much!

Which one of us is happier?  It's hard to tell...

We kept telling Chloe that she should get to bed so she wouldn't be tired for her first day of school, but she wouldn't listen.  She kept saying, "No, no wrestle with me! Wrestle with me!" really sad like.  So of course we had to.  We are good dogs, after all.

Totally Random Recall

It has been a few days since I've posted.  The dog days of summer are just so busy!  I've put together a highlight reel of the past few days. Enjoy! Here we are entertaining Grandma over the 4th of July.  She and Aunt T and Maggie and Maddy and Nikki all came to visit.  It was great fun!

Another pic. from the 4th. Maggie and Nikki are all tuckered out.

Some flowers seem to like it that we aren't getting any rain.

It FINALLY rained yesterday afternoon.

Tebow and I had to play inside.

Two princesses at play. Ariel and Snow Pug.

Here I am being my blurry self.  I'm trying to jump up on the couch with the big rope ball we have.

I finally made it! Here are Tebow and I having fun playing tug of war with it!

Saturday, Lazy Saturday

It was hot enough outside today that you could fry an egg on the sidewalk, but we decided to make ours inside instead.  I voted for the sidewalk, and so did Tebow, but we were overruled. I always thought two was more than one, but I guess not.  We used peppers and basil from the garden.  Soon we will have tomatoes, too.

Tebow and I decided to play inside where it was cool.  We had a great time playing tag and hide and seek.

Tebow decided to help mom with her writing today.

That wore him out.  He decided to take an afternoon nap.

Here I am helping clean the house.  My tongue can get in places the feather duster misses.

This is what the sunset looked like on our walk.  Mom helped me find this on the internet.  She couldn't take a picture because we were too excited and wiggly.  We were hoping to have a long walk because we'd been inside most of the day.  Unfortunately, it started thundering and lightening when we got as far as Piglet. Mom thought we should turn around because the sky was pretty dark by then.  We didn't want to.  It rained long enough for us to get from one side of Roselawn (the street not the school) to the other.  That was all.  We weren't happy about that, but we were glad to get home.  The thunder made us freaky.

Here I am working on the blog.  I have to talk very slowly because mom isn't that great at typing, and she makes a lot of mistakes.  Good help is so hard to find these days.  Sheesh.

We Love the Nightlife, Baby

We got our flea and tick smelly stuff today.  You can tell neither one of us were very impressed with that development.  Personally, I liked the lavender smell from the shampoo yesterday much better.  It was more befitting a pug of my stature.

Mom had to go in to the office today.  By the time she got home, it was pretty hot outside so we waited until later to go for our walk.  Then it got even later because we had our baths yesterday.  We had to get our walking harnesses on again.  First we had to stop running around and bouncing all over the furniture like monkeys.  We couldn't help it.  We were so excited when mom said it was finally time to go on a walk.  It took about 20 minutes for mom to get my harness and collar on because she kept thinking I was trying to bite her, but I was just trying to help.  I was all wiggly and was just trying to hold on to her hand to stop myself from turning in circles so she could buckle me in and we could finally go.  Tebow tried his bes to help, too.  He kept pointing to what she needed to buckle with his big nose. This is what the moon looked like from the alley.  This isn't our picture, though.  We were too excited to hold still long enough for mom to take one so she helped me find one on the internet that we could use because it was royalty and copy-write free.  I have no idea what that means, but I think it has something to do with it being so pretty.

Even though it was dark, there were plenty of cool things to smell.  We had lots of fun.  Tebow tried his best to chase a black cat.  I wanted to go see the big barky dogs at the end of the block.  Unfortunately, we wanted to do it at the same time and they were in completely opposite directions.  We gave mom a good lesson in balance and spinning and maintaining your balance while spinning.

Here are Tebow and I after our walk.  We're conferencing on what the best way to get some Milk Bones out of mom is.

In other news...Green One!

Cleaning Day

Mom thought she would get some work done this morning, and that we'd go on a walk this evening when it cooled off.  We had other ideas.  See how patient we are being?

Tebow and I taking a break in the shade.

I chased Piglet.  We also said hello to Jayce who you used to go to school with.  She was going to her grandma's house.  Her mom thought we were a pretty cute pair of puppies.  Of course, I was the cutest.  We also saw Sass and the other cheerleaders.  We said hi from across the street.  I thought we should go help them with practice, but mom had other ideas. We also saw the yappie dogs.  They tried to taunt us with a squeaky toy, but being the dignified dogs we are, we refused to be drawn in to their petty drama.  We did pee on their curb, though, before heading on up the hill.

When we got home, it was time to clean the house.  Tebow helped with the windows.

Mom went a little crazy with the whole cleaning thing if you ask me.  We even got cleaned.

Here's Tebow with his after bath treat.  After he was finished, we had a good time running around and wrestling.  We were crazy dogs, wild and free without our collars on.  It was great fun.

Someone's in the Kitchen with Lily

Here I am practicing looking cute...as if that's something I really need to practice, right?

We got up early this morning and went on a walk.  It was the greatest thing.  We went all the way up to Winter and back.  We got to smell all sorts of wonderful things people had put out on the curb for the garbage men to pick up.  We also avoided getting hit by the high school kids going up the hill to Schlarman for practice.  We even saw one of those inside out cats like Rachel has on Friends. We wanted to say hello, but were not allowed, as usual.  I don't think mom is too neighborly in the morning.  She also wouldn't let us say hello to the people going to exercise classes at Roselawn or the lady putting out her trash that lives at the yellow house down the alley.  You know the one. It has the high wooden fence with the dog behind it that Tebow always wants to play with. You can see some of your tomatoes growing in this picture.  I will guard them from the ground squirrels like the fierce guard dog I am.  Your hula hoops are also waiting for you.

We thought the grapevine by the patio was dead for good, but it's finally coming back.  If only Tebow won't eat it again when we get the fence fixed and he can go outside on his own.  Speaking of fences, the little girl that moved in next door climbed up ours and into our maple tree that hangs over her yard.  She was way up high and out on one of the more narrow limbs when mom came home from work.  She had to go get the girl's parents to get her out of the tree because she was stuck.  Unfortunately, it broke the limb.  Fortunately, nothing on the girl or the little boy who lives on the other side of her was broken.

We were very tired when we got home.  Two miles is a long way.  It was lots of fun, though.  All sorts of things to smell since today was garbage day.  I only wrapped myself around a phone pole once.  I was so excited that I went running the wrong way around it, and I was going so fast that I bounced off of it when I reached the end of my leash.  Tebow just stood there, unimpressed with my antics.

Tebow doesn't like it that I still have my harness on.  He thinks I'm going to get to go on a walk without him.

We are both very glad mom is home from work.  We ran around outside and then came inside to get a drink and wrestle some more.

Here is the couch where I am not.  I was here, but decided to jump down as soon as the camera started to take the picture.  I'm quick like that.  That's how I roll.

Here I am down on the floor getting my chew on.

Tebow is bored with the choices of entertainment tonight.  He says he can't wait until Wednesday when the dog show is on again.  We saw a goldendoodle dog on our walk today like the dog he saw on that show last week.

Sunday in the House with Dogs

Today was a great day.  We came home from Doggy Camp! Tebow practiced his camouflage skills when we got home.

We wrestled and played hide and seek under the couch. It was much fun!

I practiced being very cute!

We picked cool things out of the garden.

We got puppy treats.

We're glad to be home, but Tebow misses his girl.
