Bath Time for the Stuffies

October 25, 2008

I did a stuffy wash yesterday and a slight ‘thinning of the herd’.  Here’s the story in pictures:

Mama, why are all our toys in the laundry basket?

Because it’s bath time for the stuffies!

Newer Bigger Bed

October 24, 2008

Mea decided a while ago that she no longer wanted to sleep in her crate and she would make such a fuss in the morning that we decided not to shut the door anymore and take our chances with the bedroom carpet. To me, my sleep is way more valuable than the stupid carpet!  (I will have the carpet properly cleaned when she’s fully house trained.)

Instead of Mea spazzing out at 4am, she would sleep until 6-6:30 so we both felt it was the right decision.

Poor Giggs suffered the consequences…

The bed we bought for Giggs was the perfect size for one pug but not two.  Giggs got booted to the floor by his bed-hogging little sister or he would go sleep in her crate.  Such a gentleman.

After a couple months of bedtime shenanigans and several emails back and forth with Amanda at Pawhaus, I found the pugs a bigger bed!  It arrived within a week of ordering (so we’ve had for a month already) and I finally got around to taking a picture and posting about it!  Mea was my model:

Now both the pugs have plenty of room to stretch out!  Their blankies even fit :)

The old bed has been moved downstairs for a day bed and Mea enjoys chewing on the zipper and otherwise beating the crap out of it when we’re not home.  She obviously prefers her new bed.

Thanks Amanda!

We Got A Present!

October 23, 2008

Wow!  I’ve been a huge blog slacker!  Since I last posted a few things have happened in the pugs’ world, the most exciting of which…

we got a package from Lisa and the Pug Posse!

We were the winners of her 700th blog post draw!  Here’s what we received:

Pumpkin crumble, New Hampshire Maple syrup, a New Hampshire postcard, Garlic Chipotle Dip mix, Vermont Chardonnay Herb Blend, Apple Bayberry Pine Auto Scent satchel, a Pumpkin Spice candle, and two toys for the puggies -which we opened right away, hence no packaging.

The Hedgehog is looking a little rough because they’ve already mauled the poor thing repeatedly.  The bone stuffy found sanctuary under the couch so it’s looking a bit better lol!

Thank you to Lisa and the Pug Posse for this awesome Autumn surprise!  The box smelled so good when it arrived!  I have to remember to do a post when I make the Pumpkin crumble!

Like I Said, A Wild Woman

October 2, 2008

I got a surprise this morning while in the shower…

Some small furry company!  (That’s my foot, bottom left)

I think we’ve been correct in thinking that Mea likes the water.  She always whines at me when I get into the shower or the bath.  Well today, she did something about it!  Instead of just looking over the edge of the tub and shuffling back and forth, she managed to jump it!  Crazy girl!

She didn’t want back out either!  She wandered around -right under the spray! -and licked at the shower streams, getting completely soaked!  Tony took a few pictures then I passed her over to him so he could towel her off.  She was in with me for a few minutes while he scrambled for the camera.

Next time I take a bath I’m going to have to shut the door if I don’t want a tub-mate!
