Out On An Walk

Today we had a walk-about.   It sure is hard to go left when my sister Black Pearl wants to go right - humph.  We sure hope its gonna be nice this weekend - we want to go down to the doggy park by the beach -  maybe some of our doggy friends will be there :) 

Memorial Day - Thank You

Yesterday was Memorial Day - THANK YOU to all who do serve and all those whom have served !!!     Yesterday was also bath day - Otis got fuminated - its been some time since he's gotten a good brushing.  He had enough fluff come out of him mom could have made a small pillow and stuffed it with his extra fluff.   Black Pearl doesn't seem to shed too much so she didn't get brushed too much.   We had a relaxing day, didn't do too much - mom and family was home too.  We like it when our people family is home, four laps to choose from :)                   

Rope War !

Well a huge rain squall just came over us so I guess we won't be going outside.  We will have to play indoors - how about a game of rope war.   Black Pearl is very vocal - but she's all talk - Otis just pulls her down and then its game-on.   Our people dad has to turn up the TV so he can hear because Black Pearl is so loud and growly.   Hope the rain stops soon. 

Matching Toys

Look we have matching toys!   Today was a very special day.  Mom came home and brought us matching chew bones.   We've had the ropes a while - we like to play tug-o-war.   Our favorite game is who can hoard the most toys!    Whats your favorite toy or game?

Too Rainy

Well its a typical Seattle kind-of day - cool and rainy.  Too rainy to go outside to play or go for a walk.  When we do have to go outside we go just beyond the bricks, do our thing and run back inside.  Mom has a towel hanging by our back door so we can be dried off before snuggle time.   Mom says we smell like wet stinky dogs, we're not dogs, we're pugs!

Fence-Wars

Between rain spouts we got to go outside and play.  We HAD to go outside a few times - ya know to do our "business" but sometimes its nice to just go outside for fun.  It was kinda a cool day so the back door didn't get left open until Mom got home.  Black Pearl likes to go outside and fence-war with the neighbor English Bulldog - his mom usually yells at him and sometimes sprays water at him to stop the war.  When mom hears all the barking she usually runs outside and herds us back into the house - no yelling cause it upsets Otis.   Otis doesn't't like to fence-war, he's a lover not a fighter.   We usually just run back to the couch and snuggle up with mom.

A Solar Eclipse

Well, Mom and Amy came home today after leaving us last Friday.  They drove 1,068 miles round trip just to see some strange thing that happened between the sun and moon, the Solar Eclipse.   We had to cuddle with our people dad - felt kinda weird.   Dad made sure we were feed and had water and let us cuddle on his lap but it sure was quiet.   Sooo glad mom and Amy are back.  

A Good Day To Play Outside

Mom surprised us and came home from work early - like at 10:30 am early.  She's usually home at 3:00 pm so 10:30 am is waaay early.  It was such a nice day - not too hot or too cool - so we got to play outiside most of today.   We played stick wars, find the best poo to sample, and who can bark the loudest at the lawn service workers next door.    Hopefully tonight we get extra snuggle time with mom - we're gonna be extra tired from all that playing and fresh air :)

Is It Snowing?

Wow - its snowing - not really.  Our neighbor's apple tree is dropping its blossoms.   Mom did work late today but got home earlier than yesterday - before our bedtime anyway and in-time to come outside and play with us.   Amy got to feed us, again.  We like it when mom feeds us, she always put a little something extra in our dinner.   So that means we'ere not looking forward to mom leaving us this weekend, we probably won't get our usual Saturday scrabbled eggs for breakfast.  

Where's Mom ?

Mom got home REALLY late last night.  Had to work late - something about had to finish up a few projects before she goes out-of-town this weekend- where we going?  NOWHERE, we have to stay home with our people dad.  Mom is gonna be late again tonight - hope our people dad remembers to feed us - mom had to call him and remind him yesterday.  We sure hope she gets home tonight before our bed-time.  We really missed our snuggle time last night :(    And we hope she gets home in-time to write about us and not be late and have to do it in the morning.

Too Hot To Play Today

Well its a really warm day today, almost too hot to play.  Mom took us outside to play with our new toy ball-on-a-rope she got for us yesterday on HER special day but we could only play for a few minutes before we were all wore out.  Need water and just want to go back inside were its cool-er.   High tempature for today was 76 - supposed to not be as warm tomorrow, gonna gradually get back down to normal Seattle tempature of low to mid 60s by weekend.   Mom still hasn't gotten us that pool she promised :(   May be tomorrow . . . .

Kinda Itchy Today

So I've been real itchy lately - I only have a single layer of black fur and my skin is ITCHY.   Mom put some Coconut Oil on me today and I feel better :)     Oh the Coconut Oil does smell good and makes my coat nice and shiny.    Otis has a double layer of fur so he doesn't get itchy - mom did put some on his nose just for fun.  This stuff is also safe for us to lick too.  Hope mom puts some on me tomorrow again :)

Just Waiting . . .

So here we are waiting for mom to put the computer down and snuggle with us.   She keeps going to a place called Google and looking at car rental stuff.  She and our people dad said something about a road-trip to California.  I think mom and our people girl are going a trip without us.  We hope its just a horrible misunderstanding on our part - will keep ya posted.

Ahhh, Glorious Sun

Ahhh, the sun feel soooo nice.  Not much more needs to be said.  Great afternoon to just lay around and soak up the sun.  Here in the Great Pacific Northwest its not too hot yet.   However, for Mom's Day this Sunday it might get up to 80.  We will hang-out in the house Sunday afternoon.  Give you Mom(s) lots of licks over the next few days :)

Can We Go Out & Play?

Here we are sitting at the front door - can we go out to play?  We get to go outside to the back yard anytime we want / need to, but the front yard - thats a whole new world.   Mom says our front yard is kinda narrow and the street is no place for us to play.   There is a raised garden between our front yard and the street where cars are but Black Pearl likes to go on adventures and sometimes doesn't listen when mom calls her back.  Me, Otis I'm a great listener, I always return when mom calls.

Yummy Breakfast

OHHHH Scramble Eggs and Kibbles - YUMMY!!!   We got the bestest best breakfast in  the whole wide world on Saturday, acutally, every Saturday morning!!   We don't get people food too often but when we do, oh boy how yummy,  We mainly get canned veggies, fresh fruit, cheese, and eggs.   Whats your favorite people food?

Opps, We Forgot Yesterday

SomeONE forgot to log-in write about us yesterday.  Mom got home from work yesterday afternoon and ended up falling asleep.  We tried to get mom up but we just ended up cuddling up next to her and sackin out too.   She did get up long enough to feed up us, herself and her people family.   Tomorrow is Saturday so that means we get scrambles eggs mixed in with our kibbles - we LOVE Saturday's!!

Bath Time

Bath Time, but not for us - its mom's turn.  Of course she can't take a bath without us!  She has snuck away from us a couple of times and we are just beside ourselves, don't know what to do so we just pace up and down the hallway until mom reappears.  When mom comes out that means its snuggle time on the couch until bed-time.  Black Pearl gets her tummy rubbed - oh that feels soooo good - and Otis gets to stretch out on moms legs and gets his back rubbed - ahhhhhh.  Happy times!

Happy May Day

We can't bring mom some flowers and then "ring-and-run" but here's the next best thing we could do.  Ya know, trample her flowers, pose for a picture, and look cute.  Hope your Spring Day is as nice as this, not too hot or too cold.
