Howard reminded me last night that I have on occasion made comments about him that were not completely complimentary. After all, even the president of the Puggy Badness Club accidentally has a good day once in a while, and can be very helpful around the house. He insisted I share these pictures that demonstrate the good side of the Bad Boy.

Howie finds new uses for Dad's favorite slippers.
After all, even a slightly bad puggy needs to be able to look at himself in the mirror with a clear conscience once in a
