Caught in the act!

Sid & Bubba's Birthday

Bubba's birthday is the 8th and Sid's is the 17th, so Danielle and I had a little party for them with pointy Dora hats, ham cakes, and a few friends.

The boys play a little afternoon game

See what happens when I leave the boys home alone?

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!

Sid and Bubba - now officially snuggle partners.

This cuteness cannot be contained only in my hard drive -- it must be shared with the intarwebz:

Doggy Day Care

I had Bubba on Friday and was watching Kari's dogs for the weekend as well. It made for a day of dogs and enough energy to power a small nuclear plant. All four dogs sure had a great day!

Stylin' Sid is Swanky

Sid's new swanky party shirt arrived today. Isn't he all retro and shit?

I found these cool duds a while ago on H. Doodle and finally got around to ordering them for Sid.

We're still awaiting delivery of the smoking jacket!

Sid and Bubba Play Date

Bubba came over to play with Sid all day. They kept themselves busy with, chomping, tug of war, chasing, and exploring. They were two tired pups by the end of the day!

Bubba and Sid

Bubba came over to play with Sid. He has unlimited energy and Sid soon tires of the constant play, but he's a good sport and always sleeps really well after such an exhausting evening.

Scared pug and no sleep

So the big plains "blizzard" rolled into Minnesota late last night. No snow, but plenty of wet sloppy slush and rain. Ug. I'd have blissfully remained ignorant of this fact except about 3am, I was startled awake by Sid rattling his kennel and barking at the top of his lungs. What the hell?!

After telling Sid to shut it and laying awake waiting for the adrenaline to stop pumping, I listened to the roaring wind outside. I heard nothing that might of startled Sid. Then just as I was getting sleepy again... BAM! The neighbor's screen door caught the wind and slammed closed. Instantly, Sid jumped up and freaked out again. God damn it.

"Sid, shush!"

"BARK! BARK!! BARK! BARK!!!"

"Sid, calm down, there's no one there. QUIET!"

"BARK! Whine... whimper... whine... whimper..."

"Sid, be quiet."

"whine...... whimper......"

After about ten minutes of this we're both finally approaching sandman land again. Then, BAM!!

"BARK! BARK!! BARK! BARK!!!" read more »
