Mom took this blurry picture of me, but I think it shows off just how ripped and cut I am, so I'm posting it anyway.

You know, for all the ladies out there, I do what I can....

this is exactly how my brother Muttley was acting when Mama tried to trim his nails:

except factor in that Muttley is smaller, was thrashing wildly, screaming louder and with his eyes bulged almost all the way out.

oh brother, indeed.

not pug, but cute

2008-09-17T23:10:00.001-07:00

Mom says she really likes these things....

I'm just not seein' it!

Astro's Jailbreak

2008-09-14T00:41:00.000-07:00

Mom captured this video of me trying to make a break for it.
I gave up after several attempts when I thought I heard the dinner bell!

oh brother

2008-05-12T00:50:00.000-07:00

Last night my life was changed forever....

my parents brought home my younger brother....
and named him Muttley.

he's only 8 weeks old, and his little head is so round, I've never seen anything like it...

and even though we are full on blood brothers, he's not too sure about me at all...

cousin booger pays us a visit

2008-05-04T15:51:00.001-07:00

He likes my Daddy, but he doesn't like me.

my feelings are quite hurt as I'm a very likable fella.

Seriously.

one year ago, today

2008-04-20T11:45:00.000-07:00

I was quite the handsome pug, if I do say so myself.

stealth pug

2008-04-13T14:07:00.000-07:00

People cannot see me when I hide behind the desk door...

part of my training as a secret agent you see...

my baby

2008-04-10T16:38:00.001-07:00

This is my love. My first love.

She is a Ty Beanie Baby. I don't remember what she was named when I got her as a puppy because I ripped off the name tag and ate it.

So I just call her Baby. And I love her. Very much. She doesn't mind that I carry her around by her tail or her head or that I chewed her nose off.

And she doesn't mind when I rest my head on her either.

PS. Mom says this is technically my second "Baby" (which is identical to the first) because the first one somehow started losing it's insides and had to be sent to Beanie Baby Heaven. But I cannot tell the difference anyway.

hmm

2008-03-06T13:34:00.000-08:00

contemplating this whole blogging thing....thinking about getting a mate, which would put an end to my bachelor days....

cue the crickets...

there's no business

2008-03-05T10:23:00.000-08:00

like snow business!

like snow business I know....

ps. I didn't find it very appealing!

2008-02-25T13:12:00.000-08:00

Since I've been getting my Mom and Dad into so much trouble around here I haven't had much time for blogging. A couple of weeks ago I pooped in the neighbor's yard and before my big sis could pick it up, the neighbor started cussing and yelling at us and then Mom had to come to our defense but the mean ol' neighbor called Animal Control on me anyway. Which makes Mom & Dad really mad because they say they've been listening to the neighbors dog bark non stop for years and never called on them, even though they had asked them bunches of times to shut the dog up. (They are really not good neighbors).

Anyway, now it's a big ol' feud and everyone is stressed out anyway so my little poop incident didn't help any. OOps!

Well, here I am in my car seat harness, on the way to pick up my sisters from work:

I think I'm quite handsome, no?

But the car seat? Um, no. Not a big fan.

help! mom won't get off the couch

2008-01-30T22:26:00.000-08:00

Ever since Mom's back has been giving her problems, she doesn't get off the couch very much, despite my repeated attempts to budge her!

I said, don't you want to go out and play? I have my hoodie on.

But all she said was something about it being too cold and too windy and she would walk me, but we're not playin' outside.

So here's what I gave her..............

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

a
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

very serious
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

POUT face

but all she did was laugh and kiss me.

sigh

more pictures from the couch coming soon I suppose... in the meantime, here's a funny video we found on youtube for you to watch...hope you enjoy it!

It's a Pug trying to steal treats from a cat (declawed according to the video info).

Later!

holiday holla

2007-12-27T12:18:00.000-08:00

Taking time out from my busy holiday schedule to say hey, hey, hey (or is that ho, ho, ho?)

as you can see, I was quite overwhelmed with all of the holiday happenings around here:

but had to wake up long enough to check out my Christmas card from Laurie, who is my #1 homegirl:

and open a present or two

and wear my new hoodie, which you can't see because of a roll of handsome pug neck that happens to hide it.
Dad said I looked like a coconut snow cone.

but i'm not seein' it.

Hope your holidays were off the hook good, just like mine were ;)

bushed

2007-12-02T18:54:00.000-08:00

My peoples have been keeping me really busy! They keep on tossing my ball, wanting to play tug, chasing me when I pick up stuff off the floor with my mouth (of course, I have to run away from them, just to play along) and now they say it's time to get ready for Christmas!

I'm not sure that I have the energy!

Singing off for now...

dreamin'

2007-11-15T07:57:00.000-08:00

I was looking at this catalog my Mom got in the mail and stopped in my tracks when I got to this page

Do you see the cupcake collar and leash??!

In BLUE no less! How perfect is this for me?! I'm going to write up my list for Santa asap! Soon as I'm done with my nap!

it wasn't me

2007-11-01T14:48:00.001-07:00

someone moved the tissues and then someone else got into them....

but it wasn't me, I swear!!

whaaaaaaaaat??????????

surgery

2007-10-19T15:15:00.001-07:00

Not many action shots around here, 'cause I had surgery yesterday. I was so wiped out when I got home, my Mom took this picture of me attempting to rest.

and because she apparently has no shame, she took this shot too:

I also had a baby tooth pulled, my nails trimmed and a microchip implanted in case I ever get lost. But I'm not plannin' on going anywhere for a while....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

happy pug

2007-10-04T12:51:00.001-07:00

Even though I didn't get the big stick (and thanks Laurie, for totally understanding me, you rock!), I did get to "go bye-bye in the car", which is my most favorite thing in the world to do (and also! those are also my most favorite five words in the world, except for maybe "would you like a bone").

Aww, life is good!

what stick?

2007-10-02T14:50:00.001-07:00

Sometimes when I'm outside doin' my bizness, I like to pick up small sticks to take back inside with me, without my mommy seein' me.

For some reason, she saw this one and made me put it down.

Rats.

bee stings hurt

2007-09-25T08:27:00.001-07:00

and they leave marks.

ouch.

you can't even...

2007-09-08T21:20:00.000-07:00

imagine the stress this past week brought to me!

Wonder if my parents could tell my displeasure with them?

I am just going to try to sleep away the memory of it all.

::::::::::::sigh:::::::::::::::::::

we may need an intervention here

2007-09-04T21:49:00.000-07:00

It all started when I was just trying to catch a few zzz's while my Mom was stitching....

I thought she was pretty busy but then I heard my name being called....

I did my best to ignore the constant pestering and catch up on my sleep.....

But then I hear something about if I come closer, there may be a bone in it for me. So that was intriguing....

I moved closer to make sure I heard right and see what was required of me, for the bone.

And then.

Well, then.....well, I couldn't hear myself think for the high pitched squeals of laughter but still being pretty groggy, wasn't real sure what was happening.

Today as I'm going through files on my Pug PC, this is what I see they were doing to me:

Are you ready for this?

I feel like I must warn you...

It may scare you.....

OK, get ready.....

Oh my pugness!!

How humiliating!! My extra skin is not meant to be tugged on in such a manner as this!

Dad said something about me looking like one of the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park??? whatever does that mean?

Surely this is abuse. Can someone please alert PPS (Pug Protection Services)?!

Thank you so very much.

Oh, and PS....I'm truly sorry to scare you like that but felt it was necessary for evidence....

Mom was looking over some pictures from my "younger days" and came across this one. I looked dazed and confused, don't you think?
So young, so innocent.

it was just a dream

2007-08-01T21:14:00.000-07:00

a dream about being a "secret agent"...

everything cool?

2007-07-19T23:02:00.001-07:00

This is how I touch base with my Mom

I just jump up in her chair and stand on her and look deeply into her eyes.
I can see her well because she's sitting under her stitching light.

Usually the only answer I get is giggles as she takes out her camera to take my picture (again).

Something was said about a saggy lip in these pictures?

I'm just not seein' it though. What's a Pug gotta do to get a straight up answer around here?

bananas!

2007-07-15T19:57:00.000-07:00

Getting a kick out of this banana lovin' black Pug!

I am really more about the strawberry than the banana. Dad gave me some but I just spit it out. Gave me a shiver.

wild boys

2007-07-08T19:05:00.000-07:00

It's been raining a lot here. And Scooby and I were gettin' a little restless, as you can see:

So Mom and Dad said we needed to go out when it finally stopped raining today.

And Mom said that this is the only shot out of hundreds that showed us both together without my nose up Scoob's rear-end:

Huh?

There's this one!

Well, it's a Pug's life, what can I say?

my plans for the holiday weekend

2007-06-29T09:40:00.000-07:00

Checkin' out the fireworks from the back door...Mom says I'll be able to see them from here.

Relaxin' a little. Hey man, it's hard out there for a Pug!

Workin' on my chewies. When I get bored with one, I go and steal Scooby's. Dad calls these my "meat flaps"...weird, huh? Mom spends a lot of $$ for them at the vet's office!

Gettin' my crazy on!

Helpin' Mom with her stitching.

Oh, and eating. For sure. Lots of that...my favorite thing!

that was fun

2007-06-06T12:22:00.000-07:00

Went to see Dr. Jan (that's what we call our vet) yesterday with my big brother Scooby. Let me just say, he was not very good. I can't believe he's supposed to be an example to me. I just stood there in disbelief. Geesh.

Then, some little strange dog (not a pug) started screaming, Mom said it sounded like a baby scream. I have never heard anything like it. It sounded just like this:

All in all, I had a pretty good time but then Scooby said it was only because I just got weighed for my Revolution refill and he had to get shots in his bottom and his teeth looked at and he's really upset about it because he has to go back next week for a dental cleaning. He even snapped at me last night but seems to be back to his old self this morning. Thank goodness.

sneaky pug

2007-05-17T16:09:00.001-07:00

We think this is quite the clever Pug, but can appreciate that the big dog is letting him get away with this all the same :)

well hello, i'm Astro

2007-05-14T21:44:00.000-07:00

I'm starting my own blog!

A PUG blog, all about me and my brother Scooby. I will post some pictures of him later on.

We are very handsome.

And single.

Since I have a retro, space age name, I call my crib my "space age bachelor pad"....it's where the action is!

Yeah, baby, yeah!
