An International Pug With Style and Charisma - Bajas

Annie's one true love, Bajas

Fearless and Handsome

An award for Annie

From Bajas Puggy

This here is Anniebelly


I was just doing my regular online shopping this morning on the PugNetwork when I discovered this amazing prezzy from Bajas, an international pug of intrigue who makes my heart go pitty pat.

Thank you for the cookies Bajas! *blows Bajas kisses* They are delish. I'm not real good at sharing, just ask the Stinky Boys. So I shall keep these all for myself and think of Bajas as I consume each one without inhaling, chewing, or pausing for a single breath.

Pearley Poo, Sending Healing Thoughts

Annie's Theory About Boys

This here is Anniebelly.

As you know, Howie has been locked up in CratePrison for some weeks now, for his knee surgery. This has given me ample time to contemplate these new living arrangements, which I happen to think are just fine and dandy. With all these toys to myself, all the comfy beds to choose from, and all the kitchen beggin spots being occupied mostly by me, I have come to one conclusion. Girls are More Evolved

Now, there are, of course, some exceptions to that rule, such as my hunky fella, Bajas, who is an international city dwelling pug of culture and means. On the other paw, the EXTREME other paw, you have neanderthals such as my brother Howie Pee, who thinks that a middle name that mimics an illegal passtime is hilarious. Okay, that's enough thinkin for today. I have to run chickees, I have a pawdicure this afternoon. *blows kisses*

This here is Howie,
sneaking outta prison for my urinary event of the day. Did any of yew pugs notice that if you read Annie's post out loud it sounds like this:

BLAH BLAH BLAH

heh heh. Oops! Gotta Run, the Warden's heading thisaway!!!

Warden Intercepts CratePrisoner Howie's Mail

Linus - WHAT? They've locked up

HowiePee?? My mentor, trainer, and

UnclePUG??

Perhaps if I destroy this here turtle

they will throw me in the slammer and Howie

and me can work out an escape plan.

That would make me CratePrisoner 619248!

As soon as Maw's back is turned,

I'm gonna hop that durn fence and

go and rescue Howie!

Actual Letters Found Under Howie CratePrisoner's Mattress

All I can say is when your Maw points that flashy thing at yew in the future, turn your head. Hey, it works fur me!
sincerely,
Your Uncle, Idol, Mentor and still CRATEPRISONER 619247 Howie Pee

Howie's Knee Surgery - Send Food Pronto

From Howard Pee Pugpants:

Maw says in two days I'm getting extra treats cuz Dr. Radish is going to be operating on my knee tomorrow morning. Now I don't know much about surgery, but any doctor whose name is food is alright in my book. I have been getting all sorts of awards from my pals lately. I want to say thanks to all my pals cuz when I added it all up, I had twenty dozen and Annie only had three. So that means I am more popular and Annie is a L-O-S-E-R *Howie makes an L sign with his toes over his forehead* and mouths the word. Congrats to everypuggy who stole awards from this blog lately. I am proud of yew.

If you all don't hear from me fur a few days, it's because of the happy pills I will be takin.
Maw sez my blog posts are bad enough when I am not under the influence of narcotics. Please be thinking about me, k? Send me food, k? Good stuff. In case you don't got my address here it is:

Joshua the Pug - A Miracle Rescue Story

Joshua -- May 2009

Joshua -- June 2009

Dallas Fort Worth Pug Rescue takes in all pugs regardless of age or medical condition. DFW Pug Rescue volunteers work tirelessly to save every little pug we can. Here is the story of Joshua in the words of his foster mom, Joann. Joshua won her heart and Joann eventually adopted Joshua into her own family.

From Joann

In May I received a call to foster a pug in need. He had demodectic mange, hookworms, roundworms, tapeworms ~ the poor little guy. His name was Joshua and he looked awful. He had no hair, he had scabs everywhere, and he smelled really bad.

When I went to Westcreek and they brought him out, he was so sad looking. All I really saw was the most amazing, beautiful amber eyes asking for love! I took Joshua home and started making him welcome there. He was just a little shy at first, I think he knew how bad he looked and smelled. We did not not care, we started him on his meds and then baths.

He was not making a whole lot of improvement at first and then I thought, because he had developed some secondary infections on his skin, maybe I should just scrub him like a burn patient, so I did. After several scrubbings, the yeast and staph were gone. It left his skin really dry, so we started to bathe him with baby shampoo mixed with olive oil scalp treatment. We were amazed that after two shampoos his hair just started sprouting in so fast that in less than a week he was solid black again. He now has the softest skin and the shiniest coat.

Joshua has turned out to be the most beautiful black boy we had ever seen. He never once fussed about any treatment. He was always laid back and I think almost enjoying the baths and being showered with constant love. Of course, during all this treatment, we fell in love with little Joshua and chose to adopt him and make him a huge part of our family. He will be loved and taken care of like he deserves and will never have to go through all that again.

After many trips to the vet he is the best pug ever! We want to thank DFW Pug Rescue for saving Joshua and so many other poor pugs. If it were not for them many, many pugs would not be saved.

Howie's Shiny New Marvelous Award and a Gift For PacoPuggy

From Howard Pee Pugpants:

I got this here award from my good pal and staunch supporter StubbyPug recently. Notice how large and shiny it is, and how it sparkles in the light. I think it is a much better award than Anniebelly Fattypants got. She has been marchin around all week talking about how she is an "Award Winnin Pug" and I got to tell yew it is enough to make yew want to hurl.

Instead of sharing this award I'm gonna keep it all to myself, like I do all my awards. I am bizzy creating a new award, tho, and if yew are darn lucky I might let you share it. I can't decide whether it is going to be the MY MAW HUMILIATED ME ON MY BLOG AWARD or maybe the I PEED ON IT SO IT IS MINE AWARD.

This here award I'd like to share with my little buddy, PacoPuggy. He is gettin' real good at peein' on stuff and he's a great guy, even though he is admired by a kitty and all. Here you go Paco! enjoy!





Which one would you rather have? I personally like the first one, but that's just cause my middle name is Pee.

Let me know which one yew like best. Who knows. If I am in a good mood and Annie hasn't spanked me that day, I might choose the one yew like.

Feel free to steal these awards and paste 'em on yer blog if yew think yew earned 'em. Don't ask permission. Askin permission is fur sissypugs.

Annie Home From Hospital and a Very Special Award

Me snuggling Howie after my surgery. Mom said the vet kept my little mole.

I explained to him it was my beauty mark but he said it needed to go!

I'm feeling just fine now, but if Howie calls me FrankenPug

one more time I'm gonna go Matrix on him.

Thankyou for the award CocoPuggy! I am so honored!

I think this means Coco loves me, and who can blame him?

*bats eyelashes and blows Coco kisses*

I would like to share this award with my official

honeypot puggy, Bajas, whose mommy is traveling right now.

Here you go sweetie!

Texas Twisters Visit Howie's House

Howie and Annie Prepare Fur the Storm!

Last night we had twisters and thunderboomers in North Texas, with Flower Mound right in the center of the activity. At 6:15 pm, the tornado sirens started wailing. At 6:30 pm, the trees outside started whipping around and the wind started blowing UP from the ground. The doggy door flap flew open and stayed that way, a first! I grabbed blankets, pillows and the box of dog snacks and called the puggies to follow me into the bathroom. Annie had one of her new toys and thought this was going to be a great game of Keep Away from Mama. I finally had to grab her (and the beloved toy) and carry them into the bathroom with her brothers.

We were right under that red blob to the left of Dallas. Two tornados touched down in Flower Mound. This morning there were trees snapped in half throughout our neighborhood and roof shingles everywhere. It was a wild ride, but we survived! We're really lucky because the next door neighbors have two giant trees by our house and they had them both trimmed last week. Otherwise we may have had a lot more damage!

Thanks to everyone who sent warm wishes to Anniebelly for her surgery Tuesday. She is doing great and is especially enjoying her two new toys and her new bed.

Stay safe and dry out there! Over and out from Still Stormy Texas! xxxooo

Little Missy - Blind and Fearless

Missy, Age 1

Blind and Fearless!

I work with the Dallas pug rescue group, and we have been getting in so many pugs lately due to the economy. Here is the story of one little gal with courage and charisma who is looking for a furever home....

Missy

This my fellow Pug Lovers is Missy. She is all of a year old and has been dealt a real hard blow in life. When Missy was brought in to rescue recently, she had a severe eye injury that required her eye to be removed.Missy had not yet gotten her sutures out when she injured her other eye. As feared, she lost that eye as well. Missy is only a year old and now totally blind with no eyes at all but this has not dampened her Pug spirit.

Missy is a very happy little girl and her little donut tail waggles so hard, we fear she is going to lift off the ground soon. Dallas pug rescue has placed a lot of blind Pugs over the years into loving homes, and, as long as you are not a furniture mover, she will do fine.

The family that is fostering Missy owns a blind Pug that they have had since 1998, and you cannot tell she is blind. Blind Pugs do great if their humans can learn how to work with them. Please consider giving this Little Missy the home she deserves. You can find an application for her on the Dallas Fort Worth Pug Rescue web site at http://www.dfwpugs.com/.

Howie Concerned About Annie's Face

Notice the strange protruberance

that has suddenly appeared on

Annie's face.

From Dr. Howard Pee Pugpants, Fellow of the College of Puggy Plastic Surgery

This here is Dr. Howie. I present today the strange case of Annie's Facial Protruberance. *turns down lights and flips on laser pointer* Please try to control the urge to look away, or you won't learn anythin. This picture shows the protruberance as it suddenly appeared without warnin' yesterday on Annie's face, right after suppertime.

Maw and Paw don't seem to care, but being as I am a board certified puggy plastic surgeon, I immediately took note of the odd shaped growth. Now, granted, Annie's face always struck horror each time I looked upon it in the past, but now, with this new development, I think I have enough to submit a case report to the Journal of Maxillo-Facial Pug-Onometry.

Thank yew to everydoggy who has expressed their concern that I have to live with such a malformed creature. I am bearin up as best can be expected.

Linus Pug's Graduation Pawty

From LinusPuggy:

Welcome to my graduation pawty! This is me, Linus, in the blue harness,
beating up Scout. I learnt these manners in puppy school.

Aunt Nancy had pawty favors for all us puggies. I got the one with the biggest toy.

The humans got to eat all sorts yummy stuff. Wussup with that? It was my pawty!

This is me executin' a hairpin turn to avoid being captured.

I showed Aunt Nancy my appreciation by leaving her a souvenir of my muddy love.

Me and Uncle Java ran around a lot. This is us takin a break.

This is us runnin like the wind.

This is Java about to pounce.

This is me showing my puggy superpowers for

speed and supersonic mud accumulation.

We pugs like to run around trees a lot. I'm not sure why.

They didn't explain that in kindy-garden.

This is me, surrounded by my host puggies, about to be

devoured like a fig newton, undoubtedly.

I hope you enjoyed my pawty. Maw had to use four towels to wipe off the mud before she put me in the car to drive me home! Now THAT's a pawty!

Wordless Wednesday

Howie Enrolls Annie in Puggy Craig

Anniebelly, left, and Howie Pee, right,

about to partake of a treat

(Activity not sanctioned by Puggy Craig)

From Howie Pee Pugpants:

This here is Howie. Now I'm not exactly saying Annie is fat, but once saw her cut her toe and she bled gravy. So I'm providing some helpful suggestions for the gravitationally challenged.

I think by now yew have all had a chance to examine the forthwith previous documentation and will all agree Annie is a prime candidate for Puggy Craig. Notice the layers and layers of mooshiness in the picture above. *points to pug on the left* Now I didn't say that was fat, did I? The pug on the right is me, sleek, tall, good looking and exceptionally intelligent.

Now, take a look at the FAT DOG CHART I stole from Purina below that. It is clear that Annie fits all the parameters for excessive jiggliness. I have ordered a crate of them Puggy Craig dinners. I will eat the first crate for her, jest to make sure the food is safe.

Graduation Day for Linus

Hi, this here is Linus. I'm taking over Howie's blog today

to spread the good news. I graduated!!!

Mom says I may not have had the highest grade in the class,

but teacher said I was definitely the

student most interested in FOOD!

Saturday, Uncle Howie said he is gonna host a

pug graduation pawty for me at his house.

I wonder if he has told Aunt Nancy yet?
