Trimming the Tree

Sid and Luis were great help setting up the tree this year. Luis held it up by laying on the stand and Sid scooped all the sparkles left from last year.

Free stuff for Sid

A little brown box appeared with yesterday's mail. My cousin in Florida had sent these randomly to Sid. :) It's a salt and pepper shaker set of angel/devil pugs. And they have a little magnet in the nose to keep 'em together. Very cute and a wonderful surprise. Thanks, Elishia!

Swankier Sid

Sid is pretty swanky already -- living at the Manfort, sporting his Fez cap at parties, and consistently getting free rubs from all the girls. But, this delightful online shop has even better accouterments for making Sid as swanky as possible. Clearly he needs these:

Smoking Jacket

Retro Camp Shirt

Find more fun doggie outfits at H. Doodle.


And I'm definitely gonna get him one of those nifty soft harnesses. ;)

Sid loves dog shows almost more than ham.

Sid has a new favorite show. Nature's Dogs That Changed the World was on PBS Sunday night. Sid and I watched it together.

It was all Sid could do to contain himself -- alternating between yips, whines, barks, jumping at the screen, sticking his face against the TV, etc... Clearly sensory overload. I think he nearly had a seizure watching all the various puppies yipping and running on the little screen. And then after starting the show upstairs, we moved downstairs for the full experience on the 42 inch, which made Sid run all over the place looking for where all the TV dogs were going to behind the screen.

Next week is the second part in which we learn how all the various breeds and diversity of dogs came about. Sid and I will keep our eyes peeled for pugs. Or I will anyway, Sid will probably be convulsing on the floor between jumps and barks.
